WDW and UOR (as well as SW) were all talking to each other throughout the closure. WDW absolutely knew what UOR's reopening plans were ahead of the official announcement. Were some CMs/TDO execs surprised that UOR was going to open VB? Surprised yes but not blindsided. I'm not sure what insiders you're referencing but the original source of the "blindsided" rumor was pretty far off on most of his reopening predictions.
I'm not talking about any rumors. Very trustworthy, long standing insiders simply stated after the reopening plans were announced that Disney was caught off guard by how quickly Universal planned to open.
