hi: i believe the official opening date is september, 2002. whether or not disney will do any pre-sales is subject to a lot of rumor at this point. they expect vwl to sell out by the end of the year, so they may start pre-sales a couple of months early. they did this when okw and bwv sold out before the january opening of vwl. we'll have to wait and see. as far as points go, we'll also have to wait and see. current speculation runs anywhere from keeping the price the same to over $80 per point. no use worrying; they'll let us know.
