We will be there also at POP. We ought to all get together at the AOA pool lounge one night after the parks close. We will be there until the 10th but the 9th MK will be a late night since it is open until 11. Maybe we could get together the 8th??
We'll Go On....Off To Neverland

I was just at the Magic Kingdom on Thursday, Nov. 14 and I'm sorry but I really think it's going to be awhile before the mine ride is ready.
I would be surprised if it would be ready for a preview during the Holidays. But that would be nice for those of you who are going.
I wish it would have been ready when I was there. I think it will be a fun ride!

My 9 year old son asked if we are going to WDW this year. I said no, not this year, we were just there! And he said, "but Mama, I know you want to ride on that 7 Dwarfs Mine Train!"
He knows me.

While I'm sure the park wants to get the ride open as soon as possible, remember that the ride is both a family coaster and a dark ride. Even if the coaster portion is testing, without inside information it will be hard to guess when the show part of the ride is ready for the public.

Don't get your hopes up for any guest ride tests or soft openings in December... Instead, look for MAYBE January, mid to end of the month (February could be more likely though)... With a possible official opening sometime in March/April time frame...

Sounds like February 7, 2014 may be a date to look out for...

A quick footnote on why they use test dummies. Our pastor's wife grew up in Orlando and said they used test dummies on Space Mountain. Some of them were coming out decapitated.
She also pointed out that on tours, a lot of people would get dehydrated from the heat and pass out and here she is at 17 trying to tend to them.
Ok, back on topic-- we'll be there on Jan. 16-21 with our Mom's so a test run would be awesome.

We were there last week and it didn't look close to opening.

Because it is not close to opening... Look to Feb 7 as a possible date for soft openings with official grand opening in the Spring...

If the date is Feb 7, that would be the soft opening date target, not the grand opening... Soft opening does not guarantee a ride on the attraction, nor does it guarantee a complete experience... And it is luck if you happen to be around for the soft open testing...

Based on the way it was looking when we were there and knowing the snail's pace at which Disney works I'd be pretty surprised if it was ready for even a soft opening on the 7th.

More walls have been removed from the back side of the hill (sorry, cannot call it a mountain cause it is not one)... The waterfall feature is current on and being tested... Not sure what the inside of the queue looks like, or even the one/two indoor show scenes, but it is a little further along than what meets the eye...
