Originally Posted By Manfried Oh, and Al got it semi-right. Though they're not behind schedule on filling the river. They are on schedule as it was originally supposed to start filling on May 7th according to the rehab schedule I saw.
Originally Posted By Westsider Manfried, I think you are confused a bit. May 7th is the day the River attractions, except Mark Twain, are all scheduled to reopen. The May 7th date has been published in CM and Guest sources since January, and is still on Disneyland.com today as the reopening date. But things are running just a tad behind now. (Disney Disney lie to everyone?) The original River refill date of 4/30/10 has been pushed back to late on May 3rd. Since January, Mark Twain has been scheduleded to reopen one week later on May 14th. But that date may slip another 7 to 10 days now.

Here's the archived blog of all of the River stories from 2010 on the Register website. Maybe they employ the same archive altering software Al Lutz has been accused of using? <a href="http://ocresort.freedomblogging.com/page/2/" target="_blank">http://ocresort.freedombloggin.../page/2/</a> Regardless of what the OCRegister blog may or may not have said before their archives were secretly edited, the stated schedules on guest-facing materials on disneyland.com and at City Hall, as well as internal rehab calendars on The Hub and CM Reference Guides all winter long, have always said Canoes/Rafts/Columbia reopen May 7th, and Mark Twain reopens May 14th.
