Because I am a sucker I see it as part of a larger plan for having another race weekend at Disneyland that they haven't finalized yet in January where Tinker Bell used to be.
But seriously, Disney needs to just announce this stuff instead of all the stupid build up. The teasers create a frenzy that the announcement never really lives up to.
As someone who would be traveling to Ca for the race I'm all for it being moved out of January. The downside, I'm hoping that's not the weekend DH is to graduate with his PhD.
