Route 66 has been postponed until 2021, and it will have the Dinoco Truck in Catastrophe Canyon as it has already the colour scheme for it on the watertower. Studio D has been constructed and will not open in 2020 and is as well postponed until 2021.

So far Avangers is still on schedule to open in 2021 with Hotel New York: Art of Marvel in Q2 2021. However I don't believe that DLP will open any major new attraction or hotel unless they can have full press coverage for it. As we have seen with Ratatouille in EPCOT, the ride is finished but they are waiting for the right moment to actually open it with the best media coverage for it.

It is rumoured that the full price tag announced for the expansion also includes an expansion for Disneyland Parc, most likely Mickey and Minnie's run away railway at the former Beauty and the Beast location. But there is no evidence thus far that supports this. Or the rumoured expansion at Indy.

We had this conversation back in July if you want to go back and re-read it. General opinion is that Alien Swirling Saucers was included in the artwork but was never actually announced as part of the build and will not be included.

Do you have a source for "not all the 2 billion euros have been spent"? - I don't know where that figure has come from? Believe me, right now they will be holding back whatever spending they can and not seeing how fast they can get through that money.

Over at Avengers Campus, the first support pillars for the Iron Man Coaster entrance canopy have arrived:

The Art of Marvel update on the hotel is coming along nicely.

Testing in progress tonight at Disney’s Hotel New York - The Art of Marvel on a second red LED strip for the front facade, and a new white light box on top of a “tower”. When complete, the red and white reflections on Lake Disney should look impressive!

October 3rd, 2020 : Building Permit still not filed. Shall we consider this area will open with Frozen + the lake? (in 2023 instead of 2022)
