Splash Re-Opens 5/19, TSI/Pirates Lair on 5/26, & Fantasmic on 6/1

[HydroGuy]

... if you believe today's MousePlanet DLR Park Update www.mouseplanet.com/articles.php?art=dl070219xx#Rehabs

MP has been reporting Splash to re-open in "early May" and Fantasmic in "late May". This is the first time they have been this specific.

FWIW, MP usually has as good of information as anyone, with some inside connections to the Disney company. If I was planning for a May trip, I would trust this info.

Note the projected Splash re-opening would coincide with the POTC premiere on May 19. The TSI/Pirates Lair would open on May 26 to coincide with the release of the POTC 3 movie (on May 25). Fantasmic uses TSI and depends on Disney finishing the work there, and re-opens the following weekend. With the caveat that all of the above is true.

Great info! Thanks Hydroguy!

Wish we could go soon, but we'll have to wait until next fall/winter. (DH is just getting his real estate appraisal company off the ground and business is just now picking up.) But with the addition of the new Nemo ride and Pirates Lair, we have some new things to look forward to - AWESOME!

It is beyond me. They always say they have "inside contacts" within the company.

Enough Splash closings already. . .dang. . .as a pass holder I find it offensive that they have to close splash every year. The last closing was MAJOR. Thankfully this one is only the typical minor closing. . .

This one is major. I do not believe it has been down for at all for two years (since before the 50th celebration began).

Try running you car for 12-15 hours a day, 365 days a year. without maintaince ^_^ Hard hard hard. Cant blame them. Unless you want a ride to go down like every day for blah problems that can be fix in rehab.

Hydroguy, you made my day. If this turns out to be true I will hit everything when I am there in June! Thanks for the info. WOOHOO!!!!

 

[mikayla73]

Thanks for the info!! I hope it is all correct If so, we'll be able to see everything while we are there and catch F! on our last night ... unless it does turn out to be the 15th

If Splash Mtn is (tentatively) due to re-open May 19th, in this case.... why is mid May, repeatedly being called early May by several online sources?

As I noted in the OP, MousePlanet also was saying early May for the last couple months. Now they are saying May 19. MousePlanet does not know everthing and could be wrong. In my experience over the last couple years they are usually right. Another twist is that Disney can change their minds.

I am not sure where DIS gets their info, but I noticed they had the same info posted yesterday here www.wdwinfo.com/disneyland/plan.htm#rehab

Another question: once Fantasmic does restart, does it run only on weekends like in Winter? Ditto Electrical Parade -- would it run only on Fri-Sat-Sun as well? Or do they run it nightly during the summer and if so, when do they begin doing so?

usually on July 1 they run twice every night of the week until late August.

As you get later into June they do the same thing, but I do not know about early June. It will for sure run on Fri/Sat/Sun all June.

 

[familyoffiveAZ]

Thanks! Maybe we'll see about leaving home early Saturday then so we can go see one show Saturday night yet, and then the other Sunday.

 

[HydroGuy]

Oh yah, the DEP will run once a night during the times I posted above. And probably on weekends in early June at a minimum.

 

[denyd]

So we've got POTC3 Premiere, possible Nemo soft opening, TS Island & Fantasmic returning and EP running. Memorial Day Weekend is going to be CRAZY...

*sigh* booked my trip in early may hoping splash would be opened. guess I'll miss splash this trip.
