That definetly wouldn't be right. I just don't think they'll do it.

It stayed up over at the other site.

They are also prolonging the rehab of Typhoon Lagoon again. So I wouldn't count on the March 22nd date listed.

I actually meant to say recent trip, but I guess resent could work there also.

If that's true, that's just terrible. These students very likely already took the quarter/semester off from college to make room for the college program, and will be at a big disadvantage even if they are able to do late registration.

I've heard this as well ... I've also heard they've told many internationals to just stay home.

Anyone with more info? Em?

What Spirit predicted that TL might not open until May or June? Hmmm....

I do know that 95% of the Professional Internships were cancelled for this Jan and its not looking good for a June round either..
