Rumor D23 2024 WDW Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

Also loving that lady tremaines homes seems to be included in the concept art … indicating a possible dark ride with all of the villains?

 

[AdventureHasAName]

For everyone asking where these attractions are going to be built, I have inside information that a sizable portion will be placed in Hyperion Wharf. It is my understanding that they are already trucking in seed and mulch.

 

[MisterPenguin]

weren’t it going to replace rock n roller coaster

Only if you tear out the current track, or raze the whole building.

Can't put hanging ride vehicles on a track that RVs ride on top of.

Hey @marni1971 can you share us the concept art for the proposed Disney Villains Boat Ride from years back? Is that ride still alive?

 

[Captain Neo]

The space will be home to two major attractions, dining, and shopping on an incredibly twisted grand scale. “Be prepared, you poor unfortunate souls,” Josh teased. “It’s going to be a fearless new vision for what a Disney experience can be.”

Wait I’m out of the loop. The villains land was talked about and still planned??? I thought they were doing Cars Country instead

I haven’t gathered the bugaboo on monstropolis. This thread is like 50 pages longer than when I left it. Is it not going into behind the animation courtyard plot?

Did you hear the joker say that?

No one else did…

In fact…the only things proposed for Orlando that hinted at a spot was in DAK…

The ambiguity is suspect. There’s always “bad news” when they give up a nickel there

 

[brb1006]

Im not getting what I wanted. This just confirmed my worst fears.

What's wrong with Villains Land? That idea has been thought off decades now?

We’re getting a little out of hand with boat rides and trackless

Need to teach the doggies new tricks

Both. But Villains will likely be a phase 2 thing. But VL is as promised as promised can get with Disney parks. It was the very last thing presented.

Montstropolis he said early next year. Cars he said dirt was already moving. He didn't say anything for villains.

“Dirt is moving” to prep the MK expansion - there’s so many lack of details here that it’s hard to figure out what is happening.

If I wanted to be extra doom and gloom I’d say they are going to close a ton of stuff on say January 5th and part of these announcements are them making a huge operational budget cut.

Potentially all of Dino land which is 2 rides, small animal trail, restaurant, gift shop, and play area.

Potentially Tom Sawyer Island and Riverboat, along with the railroad (railroad would return after 1-2 years again?)

Studios has me the most confused - I’m not sure where monstropolis is going - so not sure what all would close for it.

That’s a lot to cut from operations.

They are doing both...villains was at the very end.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

That’s kinda myth

The boutique villains PARK is what was kicked around forever…and the fire mountain Eisner era thing

Cross them and it seems like “villains land”

But what we got that actually lies closest is galactic bobcruiser…the monument to mistakes

 

[SweetDuffy101]

I believe in the saying Fantasyland/critter country/ Adventureland at Tokyo Disneyland are the next ones to get new experiences

 

[Charlie The Chatbox Ghost]

It wouldn’t make sense to not put your villains area attached to fantasyland…so behind haunted mansion/small world really is the only spot that makes sense…if possible?

Plus the Fire Mountain plot isn’t big enough for a whole land. It’s just enough space for a major E ticket and a pathway to it.

 

[brb1006]

Monstropolis is fine -- the Door Coaster isn't. DHS doesn't need a coaster right now.

Jim Hill's been discussing about the Monsters Inc Door Coaster for years now. Can't wait to hear his reaction in the next episode of Disney Dish.

That’d make the most sense. Animation Courtyard is a ghost town, demolish it and put Monsters there. Move the new Ariel show to where the Beauty and the Beast show is and replace it.

Ok first of all I’m so annoyed I was going to make a joke about so can we start up a “Monsters Dood coaster rumour against 20 minutes post the show, or should I wait until tomorrow” when I thought the cars rumour was just endless recycling. It was facetious, didn’t actually expect them to pull that one out.

My minor gloating is that I had the cruise ships really nailed and as the president of the Carousel is NOT Coco club, I was vindicated on that one.

I’m not mad about cars. Inevitably my fear with these projects are they aren’t developed for the parks they occupy. WDW has an all too recent unfortunate history with this. Yes sometimes something like Ratatouille just kind of works out. As an ‘every parks fan’ I am just tickled how there was absolutely no clones in that whole presentation!

I think Coco and Moana for Magic Kingdom are dead. In so far as I really don’t think those are coming, it’s actually just way too much for Magic Kingdom. Especially since Villains land seems to be a 2029 project.

DCA, as mentioned, is just fire. No complaints there. I really would have liked a bit more substance to the 70th, but whatever. I am not surprised DLForward failed to feature as clearly Josh took the we are focusing on things that are solid only. I do feel bad for the coaster crew at DCA as I’m sure it was painful to watch both Spiderman and the Door Coaster, which I know they are pining for.

I’m still not sure what the temperature is here, but it seems not hugely one of disappointment?

The show was very good in person. Padded to high heavens. But extremely self aware. I told everyone Josh (unlike Chapek) is not stupid. He knows and references basically every forum complaint with a wink and a nod. Including the just tune in to the parks blog if you don’t want to see the musical numbers wink and nod.

Deadpool segment was hilarious. Talent was impressive. They really did ‘up’ the whole presentation into quite the spectacle. Not sure how much you all loved it from home per say, but it was delightful in person and they really used that mid floor stage so my seats were a lot better than they felt last night for the price.

 

[doctornick]

Is there any possibility that the DCA boat ride might find its way to BBTM in MK? It looks awesome.

I know there is no chance, but in my imagination, I'm hoping that the Coco ride is going to MK and the TLK ride is going to DAK and they just didn't say that because they didn't want to "steal the thunder" from DCA or Paris. Yeah, I know, not happening.

Land is relative…they’ve been shrinking the goal posts on those as they have on quality in dvc…

And e ticket means nothing when we use them as a label, and not a measurement of achievement. We have many recent examples there.
