Guessing the 1st phase of changes being done by May but then extensive refurbs after that.

Thanks for the warning. Any idea when the premiere dates are usually announced?

If you want to go to the premiere, be warned, and be prepared to stand in one spot for a very long time, I spent 6 hours sitting and 6 hours standing in a space just big enough for me being pushed and stepped on and all other sorts of things that were rather unpleasant. Get a spot near the front, or at best you'll get a fleeting glance at Johnny Depp as he's rushed by. If you're just going to the park, it might not be that bad if you don't mind the pirate decorations. Everyone else will be saving their spot on Main Street, so lines might be short. And it didn't seem to affect the other days that much. At least not to me.

We really wanted to be there and it's still up there in top 5 least favorite experiences ever. But it was an experience I guess I'd rather be squished and get to see Johnny Depp, than be squished and have to watch him run by.
