I'm sure Comcast sees this as a real opportunity to put a dent in Disney's dominance. Disney is obviously going in sleep mode, and acting in a negative way to guest amenities and AP holders, thus they are vulnerable. Attack, attack, attack should be Comcast/Universal motto. While the WDW fat cats are tucked away in their castle tower, comfortable in easy profits and a selfish deluded short term business strategy, the castle walls are crumbling from lack of maintenance..

Such a long wait for so short a ride. Seriously the most disappointing E-ticket I experienced in Shanghai. PotC on the other hand is a masterpiece and what Disney should’ve brought over. Great and petty dig by Universal, I love it.

Well, there it is. If all goes to plan 2025 is a massive year in Orlando!

I'm guessing they'l start previews of the park around spring then hold an official opening for the 35th UOR anniversary in June.

The delay is from the COVID show down and suspension of the project.

Sorry I should've explained more. I was using the information about this being the theme parks most profitable quarter in all history despite the pandemic to suggest that Comcast would plus the upcoming park since it seems people really like the parks.

Probably not EU but I imagine it has greased the wheels for improving the existing parks more.
