Comparison is the thief of joy. I don't see any dissonance in enjoying the great theme parks Walt Disney World offers while still being excited about the new theme park being built down the road.
Did anyone else notice this description for Starfall Racers? OUTATIME!? Flux Capacitor perhaps?
I’m leaning toward a “spring” opening, but of course spring is technically anytime before June 22…After watching Alicia’s new video, one question remains, when will Epic Universe open? They don’t mention summer 2025 anywhere anymore, are we thinking a slight delay on the opening date and will now open in Late 2025 or even open before schedule (an even bigger blow for Disney) and open in Spring 2025? Any thoughts?
I'll be honest, I went the 2nd week of September of last year and it's the quietest I've seen the parks during the day in years.April-May is now the quietest season for Orlando and the weather hasn't become unbearable just yet, so ideal for opening parks.
Quiet season used to be September, HHN ruined that. Then it used to be January, but all the Run Disney events along with the festivals/corporate events make January one of the busier periods now.
I'm still thinking Dave's @Disneyhead date....ie June early....but, with all the new stuff, probably soft openings of some sort (cast, AP, or hotel guests) in late April , early May. They really need to run full tests on the rides, and get the operations running, before the official opening. This is too complicated to just throw the gates open overnight. Those early hotel reservations might be a bit of a clue. Good source of test dummies.June 2nd is still Spring.
Absolutely. Would be an easy way to pull people into those hotels.I'm still thinking Dave's @Disneyhead date....ie June early....but, with all the new stuff, probably soft openings of some sort (cast, AP, or hotel guests) in late April , early May.

Are we getting a nighttime show or fireworks?
They didn't hold off, the one pan thru shows fireworks going off behind the hotel, which is what should happen most nights. My guess is shows won't be announced until later as some things like fireworks may be seasonal.We should be. Guessing they held off for now.
I agree, early June which is technically spring so they removed the Summer.I’m leaning toward a “spring” opening, but of course spring is technically anytime before June 22…
Get what you’re saying, but to me “announced later” is “holding off.” We know they have the fireworks strip and that concept has fireworks. But they haven’t announced.My guess is shows won't be announced until later as some things like fireworks may be seasonal.
The other two are not directly connect and integrated into the park like Helios isThe other two will be so why not Helios?
We are talking about the matter of securing a door/gate. I seriously doubt they will wait for the park to open to open the hotel. They will have to work out the kinks somewhere along the line.
