I don't believe Don is taking these pictures but is just bringing them over from Orlando United so people here don't have to surf the net to find current pics.

As an HP fan for years, the appeal for me is not the rides but rather the theming of the area. I look forward the most to FINALLY be able to go inside Hogwarts and various other places in the magical world. That's where the true magic is.

I agree 100%! I can't wait for the to feel the atmosphere of the magical world!

Can I hope to visit WWoHP during our April 2010 trip or is it scheduled to open farther out than that?

Universal has not released the official opening date...anything you hear is pure speculation.

My friend who lives in Orlando called me today and told me Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy in the movies, is in the area to do promotion for TWWOHP. So I guess a big announcement is coming soon.

There was an article in the paper last week about a webcast on 9/15 about the WWoHP...I guess they're priming people.

Yup. He's got it on twitter (that he will be there...not the announcement).

We are also hoping that it is going to be opened for our august 2010 trip. My ds will be disappointed if dueling dragons is not up and running but hopefully it will be in the new part.
Thanks for all of the info

Do you remember where you can view the webcast? What time it will be on and will it stay on the internet to watch later or is it only live?

I'm not sure...the article stated they were emailing invitations so I don't think it will initially be for the public.

Mugglenet is invited, so they may have some live coverage.

 

[mvansear]

interesting, hopefully it will hit the general internet or youtube if it is a video webcast. wonder how long it will take to get it out there?

In this day and age...not long I'm sure.

I don't like unappreciative comments.
I will not be bringing pics and comments from other web sites anymore to avoid that

I think what he was trying to say is the contruction workers were smiling for the camera.

Expect it to be online within an hour of the end of the broadcast. And expect it to be down within the same hour.

Don, your photos are the only reason I've been coming to the DIS on a semi-regular basis in the past few months. If you don't post any more pictures I don't know what I'll do

I don't think there was anything unappreciative about what he said. I think he was just commenting on the look on the faces of the tractor drivers just like donaldduck352 said. They kinda have that "smile we're on candid camera" look on their faces. The picture is obviously not taken from any restricted area (you can see the wall) so there wouldn't be any issue anyways.

There are lots of people who have no idea where to look for updates and your detective work is much appreciated.
