Yeah it's definitely a bit strange they waited so long, I mean even mardi gras or something to me was like the perfect date to announce a release date. I have no idea why there were so hesitant for so long.
Nah, you don't want to promise it and have people schedule a vacation and then construction issues push it out of their visits
Land's is still a ways off (Halloween season, I think?)
I feel like Disney tends to give more solid reopening dates for their other refurbs, or at least more than a month's heads up
Fair
Yeah maybe wait a few months. Splash Mountain's lines were several hours long before it closed. I expect it to be similar for the first few months of this ride's life at least
They want the opposite of that tho lol. They're near capacity almost every day in the spring and summer so they gain nothing from telling people to postpone their trips to what will be their busiest few weeks of this entire year.
