Disney's CFO said WDW's should open late in the fiscal year, FWIW

With all of the verbiage change from late to fall, the forum rumors, and now this...I think it’s likely we’ll be seeing a Sept/Oct opening.

I'm REALLY hoping it's September so I can go see it when I'm down for HHN.

My honeymoon starts October 23rd, so I’m in the same boat as you. Part of me hopes it is but part of me dreads the crowds.

Eh, it'll still be in October, so it won't be *too bad*

I think Iger corrected himself at the quarterly meeting when he initially said end of fiscal year, and then he changed it to Fall.

I really hope it doesn't open until October. Specifically because I planned a trip in early Sept specifically to avoid Galaxies Edge crowds lol.

Once again, we have no idea what the process of getting in will be

Infinity Falls setting the trend.

Infinity Falls proves that regardless of opening in the summer or fall..people will come.

If it's by a smaller amount, it may not mean much. Especially if it's going to be as clustered as how DL's is turning to be in footspace..

Did infinity falls attract a lot of people?

 

[Mad Dog]

Summer is no longer the be all season anyway. Crowds are so spread out it probably doesn't matter when something opens. A new attraction or land will give them a 1 to 2 year attendance bounce from opening day, so it shouldn't really matter when the clock starts ticking.

If Pandora and TSL are any sign, they will let the land fill to a certain point with opening crowds and then have a line that wraps around the park just to get in and let people in in small batches as people exit the land.

They could do what Potter did though and have return times to enter the land since this will have more demand than Pandora and TSL.

Those are really the only two options I see as likely though.

 

[Mad Dog]

One plus is that the land appears to have a good amount of street space, plus things to do besides the attractions. That should certainly help.

The queues are very large, too

Infinity Falls opened?

:look:

Comparing Infinity Falls to a Star Wars themed land?

Are there bathrooms? When will Universal or Disney realize they need small set of bathrooms in their big ride queues. Yeah, it could open things up to line jumping, but I don't think much. Have the queues get close to the bathroom a couple of times, so kids, and adult sized kids, can take a quick pee.

Honestly, I couldn't enter a 4 hour queue. Especially not in FLorida, where I'm likely drinking like a fish to stay hydrated. Heck, I'd be hesitant of 2 hours at this point.

Can I get an assistance pass for small bladderitis? Or worrying I'll get uromycitisis.

I’m not 100%, but I’ve heard that in the Flight of Passage queue, they let you go to the bathroom at a certain point if you need to. Not sure how it works if true, though.

It depends on FP. If they use it, at a large percentage, if you don't have one, good luck getting in to the land. If no one leaves, then the early FP holders will just get back in line, then eat at the Cantina, gets pics and photo ops, and nobody else is let in.
