To follow up on recent threads, I have just had a nice chat with a Disney CM and asked what was up with JT and GFFA.
For JT, despite it now being scheduled starting on the dreaded Sept. 29th, there supposedly is no plan to cancel it or make it seasonal or anything. It seems like it’s just not scheduled yet but will be soon. I have a good feeling about this. 
For GFFA, they still say it will only be out for 5 weeks but there are no guarantees and no date yet for its come back. I have a bad feeling about this.
