See, now when they mentioned the milestone highest piece being signed at WDW in mid November, I was taking that as a solid 3 months behind.
And then I just realized, when did they INSTALL that piece in WDW??? It went up in August in DL and it was covered extensively by the media. There has been coverage on the signing in DHS and I took for granted it went up immediately. Maybe they just signed it before the holiday season. I found a questionable source (though with crane pics) indicating in wasn't actually installed until this month.
What is different between the two models? Besides the entrances? Is it significant enough to affect timelines?
(Have I thanked you lately?)
I think everyone knows, I would MUCH prefer the two lands open together.
Even that milestone doesn't mean a lot since it doesn't mean it's the last piece of steel, the remaining steel work could have been vastly different between the two lands at that point.
