Refurbishment schedule changes and conflicts

[Lora]

I got a DVC member email newsletter today with some refurbishment info. that conflicts with the Disney site's info. Also, I noticed some changes in the schedules. Here's what I have:

From the DVC newsletter:
Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park
Festival of the Lion King - scheduled to reopen September 30

Disney-MGM Studios
The Magic of Disney Animation - September 30 - November 23
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ - October 13-18

Magic Kingdom Park
Swiss Family Treehouse - scheduled to reopen October 25
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - scheduled to reopen November 22


From the Disney Site:

Will you be arriving Sept. 21? Or the 20th? When will you be leaving?

It looks to me like the two lists have a difference in only the Festival of the Lion King, unless you're arriving on Sept. 20 or staying until Nov. 22. It may be I'm not looking at it from your point of view. I'd go with the Aug. 25 - Sept. 19 refurbishment dates for the FOTLK until further notice. Hope that's good for you!

Edit: also check here http://www.wdwig.com/rehabs.htm but the official site is "official" (until it changes!).

Sept 30th for FOTLK?! Wow, I'd be pretty disappointed if that was the case. I'm really excited to see this show and I know my girlfriend is too. Hopefully they are just over anticipating. We aren't doing AK until Sept 28th.

Best news I heard in a long time, if it does open on Sept. 20th. We are going for a long weekend Sept 24th - 28th and will be very disappointed if it is still closed!!
