I am in the same boat, got a trip planned for closing of muppets and basically holding for those dates and MNSSHP dates.

I wonder how much this and test track are affecting summer bookings? I have a few friends & family who are holding off on booking summer tickets till they announce the test track & starlight dates.

Just personal speculation since Universal is planning a massive grand opening celebration for Epic Universe. I expect Disney wants their golden news to make a wave in the community after Universal has their moment.

3 more Weeks? I get it but Sigh.

I’m speculating here, so I could be wrong, but I'm not expecting the debut date for around 3 more weeks at this point. Disney could easily do a massive media push after Epic Universe opens by announcing the debut date for Starlight alongside the debuts of Villains and Mermaid at DHS. I also wouldn't be shocked to see the BDX droids arrive at DHS on the 27th. Starlight will get its own focus before Test Track opens.

I don’t remember what they said for Pandora but they definitely “promised” more than they delivered for Star Wars land. Roaming aliens, droids, and personalized interactivity were all touted by the company. Those were the things that were really supposed to set it apart too. I dunno what they’ve said for this parade. But I hope it’s good and we get to enjoy years of quality evening entertainment.

Our bookings skew so heavily towards Disney I'm sure this isn't an exemplary breakdown, but I've only noticed one or two Universal cancelations in our group for the summer. However, funneling Epic tirekickers into actual bookings was very challenging as well. We didn't have that many more Uni booking than last summer. I think Epic's impending opening may have pushed some Disney people to "hold dates" with a deposit thinking they'd to a WDW trip and squeeze in Epic. Pricing and access challenges - along with economic factors - kicked off a cluster of cancelations. Disney expected an Epic bump this summer, but there's no indication of that happening.

Patience. It’s something you need a very healthy dose of. Your incessant posting about needing to know an opening date is like rubbing 32-grit sandpaper on… places sandpaper shouldn’t be rubbed.

Both resorts or just the one without a new theme park opening this month?

I agree but I'm not so worried about it now. Since MK finally changed HEA's Schedule! :)

Soft and getting softer. The cancelation wave is wild.

Based on summer crowd estimates I bet they wish they had this ready to go by Memorial Day

Don't get me wrong. I understand the sentiment of wanting to let them have as much time as they need to perfect this, but it would be nice to know the date of when it's debuting.
