Somehow those Lutz updates nailed it down exactly, even though some on this thread don't care to acknowledge it.

Al Lutz accurately stated exactly what would be happening this June, right down to the exact day of the month, when it came to AP Previews, media parties, soft openings, and final preparations for Nemo. But he told us all that on Miceage back in February. People can't remember what they were told three months ago, and they can generally only remember things in quick three second sound bites. Al Lutz spelled it all out, did it accurately and correctly, and did it all months in advance of anyone else talking about it online. Some people just can't deal with things that happened more than a week ago, or that take more than 3 seconds to explain or understand. ;-)

Some remember Mr. Lutz confident assertions that Finding Nemo couldn't possibly open according to the June 11 timeline; others recall his statements about the AP preview dates. As long as prognosticators keep throwing stuff out, a certain amount is bound to be accurate, and a certain amount dead wrong.

Yes, things change, and Disney is known for making changes in their plans many times before they are finished, but trying to claim that Al Lutz was just making things up and it was a "lucky guess" is just plain WRONG.
