Ahhh it would be great to know the exact date as we are hoping to book last week of January 2017 and would dearly love BTM to be open seeing as Pirates and Star Tours will be closed.

I've seen the 16 December 2016 reopening date in a few places, but the official site still says 'January'. I guess Disney won't commit to a date 'til they're confident on hitting it, but I'm really hoping the sources that say 16 December are accurate. Having BTM reopen for the Christmas rush will be a big coup.

Hello I've been told on the Dlp Facebook page that BTM will be re opening February 2017. : (

It has just been tweeted that BTM is not opening in December as planned due to a delay. Main street station also delayed by a week.

BTM was opening in Feb 2017 so hopefully that means 1st Feb?

Disneylandberry tweeted the following on July 19th:

December 16th? Do you guys think it's possible???

In the just released video about the refurbishments (watch it here, quite interesting shots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuPOlIwkwOs)
Beth Clapperton (Art Director, WDE) says "I can't wait for the guests to discover it at the end of the year". So that does point at a date sooner than somewhere at the start of 2017.

Awesome!  I really hope so!

Ok so here's a July 25th article from disneylandparis-news.com:

http://disneylandparis-news.com/en/big-thunder-mountain-the-wildest-renovation-in-the-west/

Mine explorations will pick up again on 17 December 2016. Big Thunder Mountain's reopening will mark a new step in the experience enhancement plan of Disneyland Paris, with the refurbishment and enhancement of 10 attractions and shows by 2017.

Let's hope everything progresses as planned and it'll be open for Xmas!

Amazing to have written confirmation of the plan to have BTM back in action by Christmas. This has cheered me up after a long day in the office

I'm so excited by BTM opening for Christmas.  I've just booked a 4 day trip.

YASSSS!!  I'm gutted it won't be open for Halloween but I wasn't expecting it to be open at Christmas either so I'm chuffed!!

[EmmaH]

OMG I'm so happy to read this!!!
