WHAT?! they actually told you a date of "after April 13th" :jaw: The only date I was give was when I was guaranteed by an operator that the Three Broomsticks would be open by/on the 28th of May, but that's kind of obvious... :bonk:
Yes. It was definitely made clear to me that softs would not start until after April 13. Their words were very close to: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will not be open to the general public in any capacity on either April 9 and/or April 13. They told me that if I was traveling to Florida specifically to see The Wizarding World, that it would be unwise to do so. They said that they would not discuss this further, but felt it important to contact me as I was very clear in my posts that this was going to potentially create a financial hardship. It was for that reason that they approached me.
I believe SAS was mistaken regarding those dates. As I have also kindly asked that he post and/or write me, and he's "disappeared", I suspect that his information was fraudulent.
Take a moment and really think about what SAS wrote and didn't write. With the exception of the obvious and known, what was "inside information - or lack of" proved SAS false. He didn't know about the Wednesday media event and his explanation was rather lame: he didn't want people to either "mob" the few web masters who gained access, but only wanted it to be understood as an opportunity to photograph the castle at night. Lame.
He could either have remained quiet, or have made it clear that something was up on Wednesday, but less significant than implied by Teebin's cryptic comments at the time. (Of course, to all of us, it was actually huge and a new chapter in information slowly being released about the attraction, food and general theming.)
I had been very excited about SAS's posts and truly believed them. I wanted to believe them. I don't anymore.
