That article was incorrect. Bob Iger corrected the CFO on the earnings call. It will open in fiscal 2020.What do y’all think about the recent announcement the it’s scheduled to open “later this fiscal year”. Article I read said new Disney fiscal yr starts 10/1. I know originally it was said late fall but now just says fall.
Oh good to know!That article was incorrect. Bob Iger corrected the CFO on the earnings call. It will open in fiscal 2020.
They are saying "late fall", so anywhere up to 12/19. Seeing they opened booking for Riviera already starting for 12/16. My guess is any time between 12/16-12/19. People can be very technical and WDW knows this, so they would likely not be advertising "late fall" if in fact the open in either early fall (oct time frame) or technically in the winter - on or after 12/20.
They want to make sure they have enough rooms available for the grand opening so how better to do it than with the large Riveria resort. How grand would that be -- people get to be some of the first to stay at the resort AND they get to be there for opening of SWL.
People will come whether they open in October, November or December. It’s not anymore advantageous to open in October than November for them because it’s all in the same fiscal quarter.Would be smart for them to open early October simply because it will bring more people into the parks that time of year.
All other times the parks will be packed and filled already
By opening earlier it brings more people into the parks for even more revenue
I really think it will be after F&W. Between that, Halloween parties, and the transition to Christmas decorations it would seem more likely the it will open around Thanksgiving. I'm betting on a soft opening Thanksgiving week.
I read somewhere 2nd or 3rd week of Dec I believeMaybe there should be a poll: When do you WANT SWGE to open. That's a totally different question!

The fiscal year for Disney begins October 1st.When does fiscal 2020 start? January 1, 2020 or October 1, 2019.
I'm a stock holder and have no idea.
I seriously doubt Disney will open a brand new land during a peak crowd week such as Thanksgiving or Halloween... my guess is they pick an opening day like Saturday Dec 7...its after the Thanksgiving week, and it's a full 2 weeks before the Christmas new years crowds arrive... these 2 weeks will give Disney the ability to fix the inevitable tech glitches that will occur after SWGE is fully operational...
for WDW? yes, 100% sure it will NOT be openIt's safe to assume that we have close to a 0% chance of this being open for our trip in August, right?
