I love how posters here always have to slam vloggers. Who cares? The best part is it sounds like there is a lot of rumors out there with more to come! This reminds me of of the constant slow roll of rumors that happened during the 2010s. That was a wonderful period to be a WDW fan: NFL, Pandora, death of the Hat at DHS, Riviera and Gran Destino, Skyliner, TSL, SW:GE, Tron, GotG, Moana Walk Through, Ratatouille, FEA, DVC expansion, Epcot Central Gardens, Communicore Festival Center, addition of the Festival of the Arts.

History will be repeating itself over the next decade.

I want a Villians Mountain coaster and a Nightmare Before Christmas dark ride 😎

I can't see them going full New Orleans Square like Disneyland since the whole point of leaving it out of Magic Kingdom was the Florida proximity to New Orleans.

Maybe just a bayou/Critter Country type area around Tiana's. Almost like this area could become more like *neighborhoods* in Pixar Pier. Or *squares*

Liberty Square
Bayou Square
Frontier Square
Dark Kingdom (villans land)

Cars behind Big Thunder could be cute. Then Big Thunder is an abandoned mine in the same landscape as Cars.

Unfounded rumors are awful. They exist for the click bait and income. They rile people up and cause unnecessary drama (I prefer *necessary* drama). They get mixed up with people's wish fantasies and spin out of control. Next thing you know, people are rioting over a supposed removal of Haunted Mansion.

BTW, I love how *some people* always have to defend vloggers. Who cares?

Considering the popularity of Nightmare before Christmas... I'd imagine something in the Villains land will be dedicated to it.

Walt Disney World doesn't do the Haunted Mansion overlay, so this would be a great way to give the Nightmare Before Christmas some recognition on the east coast. And I think, 30 years after it's initial release, it's safe to say that Nightmare has stood the test of time and isn't likely to fall out of fashion anytime soon.

I really hope whatever they are planning at MK includes a 2nd entrance and a likely skyliner station somehow. (Hey it gives them more DVC validation, remember Reflections/FW DVC).

The park is going to be absolutely massive and they can't have one chokepoint to leave and enter.

They also need to make the firework show enjoyable from BBTM in addition to the castle.

The Star Wars soundtrack overlay for the Disneyland fireworks tell me they're interested in the concept of offering "different" shows with the same pyro.

well... the carsland "look" I guess would continue the look of the big thunder rockwork at least instead of transitioning directly into coco/encantoland there

I still don't believe we are going to get confirmation/commitments of all these things coming to WDW in AK, DHS, and MK all at the same time. Some will be announced, others will be blue sky'ed maybe... and then plans might change again (along with budget cuts).

RSR coming feels like a bait rumor to track down insiders, though my intuition to this is because I don't want Cars in MK (MK is for more old school style IPs), feel like the Coco rumor has more truth to it as its already in Phillarmagic and a woody ride is just the country bears being replaced by toy story rumor again.

Cars is turning 20 in two years, and the style of Radiator Springs is old school. I hate to call out the passage of time, but Cars is old IP now.......

The idea of yet another Toy Story attraction is hilarious. They already have an entire land at DHS plus another Toy Story attraction in Tomorrowland.

I guess I wouldn't put it past Disney, but that really doesn't seem realistic.

Hence why I think its a bait rumor. Disney is dumb enough to do that, but I feel like aside from villains land, the parks leaders (and Iger) want to focus on newer IPs as the additions for Beyond Big Thunder, Toy Story is popular, but it already has representation in multiple parks. The rumors that Zootopia is coming to MK honestly seem more realistic than that as they can reuse a lot of the development work from Shanghai to save costs. Similar reason to why RSR is unlikely to come, Cars on the Road didn't do that well on Disney+ (its showrunner was laid off) and its approaching 20 years now (which makes me feel old).

Also realistically, most of these won't get announced at once, Tropical Americas and BBT are confirmed to be shown off by Disney at D23, but I don't expect anything to get announced for HS near term unless it is something small, like an update to Smuggler's Run or a flat, or the BBT to be going into greater detail, the Tropical Americas will probably the only one we will get a ton of news on.

I still think it's weird to have two Test Track style rides at WDW, especially if there is an outdoor portion. The only way I see them adding RSR to WDW is if the entire thing is indoors. And it is a terrible fit for MK. "Desert Land" sounds really dumb, but unfortunately this seems to track perfectly with what my source told me a few months ago.

An attraction based on Cars (a terrible film franchise) just doesn't excite me as much as an attraction based on Coco, which is without a doubt one of the best films Pixar as ever done. Regardless, it's quite thrilling to hear the rumor mill churring again for all the parks.

It feels like Disney is very eager to build Toy Story attractions everywhere except TSL, which they were determined to fill out to the minimum possible degree.
