News Destination D23 2023

I really don't get who is behind planning these presentations but whoever it is is certainly not doing any favors.

Honestly I feel sorry for whoever is in charge of these things. It has to be a pretty terrible gig having to always try and put lipstick on a pig. Then have everyone mad at you all the time.

Is that where they are planning to relocate the Tree of Life show? These Blue Sky projects are just one big carousel.

Oh no, that was canceled from EPCOT

I think it's been suggested quite a few times that new parades and whatnot are on the horizon.

Well the last comment that was said about a night parade was that it’s to early in the process and they are not ready to talk about it. Suggesting it’s not happening in the near future and more blue sky or a couple years.

I watched a famous disvlogger talk about it, he overall was a pretty positive person, and to hear his thoughts was pretty interesting. He basically said that the way Disney presents is why D23 is so disappointing to some people. If Disney were to just straight up say that they consider meet and greet "big announcements" then I don't think people would be nearly as disappointed. Then of course bringing out actors of some of these characters just seems like setting up something monumental, only to just say a meet and greet is happening. I really don't get who is behind planning these presentations but whoever it is is certainly not doing any favors. People tune in to see new concrete 100% in production ideas, not "take a look at this concept of something we COULD make".

They’re in a bit of a bind

They had zero intention of adding anything for a decade after the last couple of years of slow roll openings

Bobism…

But the business is in trouble…Bob is in Trouble…and significant economic issues are hanging over all of it.

I don’t think they can afford it considering the stock pressure they’re under either.

But they caused it all. Bad management philosophy for way too long. You reap what you sow

Now if you excuse me I have to stock up on melting candies at the MK.

Updates on the Play! Pavilion and Mary Poppins? If not, the rest of these announcements should be taken with a
grain of salt.

I thought you said the last time that “this is the LAST time”?

Whatever they decide to do beyond thunder mountain I can’t get excited about because we are a minimum of 7 years away whatever will be opening there.

Projects big or small are taking longer and longer and now with CFTOD involved it’s going to take even longer.

Used to be one of our favorite restaurants the pricing of the prefixe is a challenge for us especially now that two of my kids are "Disney Adults"

Miss getting a bunch of flat breads, sushi, and apps and just sharing things

For sure. Overwhelming guest reaction is negative. But today $$ matters more for Disney.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

You literally just explained exactly why they did it.

They don’t want families sharing apps and taking up a table when we you can sell out the restaurant forcing them all to pay full rip for multiple courses of increasingly mediocre food.

Oh, I get why they do it ... but it has resulted in a restaurant we used to do quite often to no longer do .... but if they are still filling it up obviously don't need me and we will eat elsewhere or save it for a Date Night or something

You sure? I've been assured by several people on this forum that the company is in great shape, and there is no risk to the business. D+ tis but a scratch and will definitely be profitable by October*. Stock is preparing for a massive jump (off a cliff). The Studio side is about to hit an unprecedented string of box office hits. The Parks can be ran into the ground and people will still go.... Actually this one is probably true.

…I’m sure…
That they are wrong.

That is the current conditions. And a rebound right now is not indicated

 

[Jrb1979]

It's pretty obvious with all these blue sky ideas that they don't really have any plans for major additions to WDW any time soon.
