Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Permit Hints to Late 2026 Spring Opening - WDW News Today
I was hoping that BTMR would be open by our trip April 17th to April 25th, is it time for me to give up hope?

I wouldn’t read too much into this other than that it isn’t ready before March 13th. They probably extended the permit for longer than necessary to avoid having to renew again.
But how long they will actually need is anyone’s guess. So I would certainly not bank on it being open either.

That’s kind of where I am too. I have been stalking the wdwmagic news daily just in case… 
By the way, we have an April Liners topic in La Cava if you want to join:

So Disney announced early May for BTMR, any chance they do it earlier or offer previews the week of 4/18-4/25?

Possibly, although I certainly wouldn’t count/plan on it.
