There’s a fine line between making educated inferences or deductions (and being right) and outright misleading people that you actually are privy to something they aren’t.

We seem to have a swath of people who are stepping over that line willfully for attention. I don’t love it because it clutters up the facts with fiction.

Worth remembering though that (one of) this site’s best known and trusted sources was also not an insider - his own words not mine.

He did however have multiple contacts that were insiders, and was able to make educated and informed decisions over which rumours were reliable and likely.

Henry’s pre D23 comments were more accurate than mere guesses were likely to have been. I therefore am inclined to think he has some kind of reliable source (s).

Haha wait, he’s not an “insider?” I don’t spend a lot of time on the WDW side of the forums. Gauging by people’s interactions with him I assumed he was.

I just think that the sheer amount of rumors feels like there are a few accurate and a few red herrings. When you look at everything that he's said, some of it doesn't make sense:
  • "I want to add--Texas is a serious contender for a new resort for Disney in addition to India and Brazil.
    The plans do ALL exist. HKDL is going to get its cruise port as well." - [Here]
  • "Inside Out, The Incredibles, Mysterious Island, Frozen, Figment, Captain EO, Tangled all have unannounced projects being worked on ATM. " - [Here]
  • "A Weather pavilion" that "got in the development process some time ago as well." - [Here]
  • "Coco and Wall-E too. Toss in Wreck-It Ralph and Big Hero 6. FYI Frozen Journey is coming to disneyland." - [Here]
  • "Tokyo is the trial run for the American coasts. Oh and the OG Space Mountain is coming back to DLP. They're getting a Speederbike coaster I believe in a Tomorrowland mini-land for Star Wars + Star Tours." - [Here]
  • " Daft Punk will be doing the music for TRON: Ares." - [Here]
  • "I believe Back to the Future is getting a Hill Valley land at USF. Simpsons is going to likely end up at the Studios in the 2030s." - [Here]
  • "Agreed. The Moana log flume in Adventureland will finally complete it. I've heard Stitch will have a corner as well. What if Inside Out takes over Stitch's Great Escape? JK Alien will." - [Here]
  • "Alien is happening, just not at the Stitch's Great Escape location AFAIK." - [Here]
  • "Flynn's Arcade is going to make an appearance alongside a large water feature in Orlando's Tomorrowland." - [Here]
  • "Autopia will get an update at both resorts and will be massively improved in Orlando." - [Here]
  • "CoP is returning to Disneyland. That's why they never tore it down. " - [Here]
  • "Great Movie Ride coming back, but in Epcot" - [Here]

I’m not going through all of them point by point.

But ignoring new parks, a port at HK makes 100% sense with the one at Singapore & Tokyo.

Some of the IPs will probably be in the Oriental parks. Eg My guess is Captain EO could be Tokyo, Mysterious Island likely an addition there too.

The DLP stuff is as legit as they come, albeit the Star Wars coaster is one of three potential coasters - and they may get 1 or 2.

Speedway at WDW was going to be upgraded back when Tron was a rumour. So maybe it’s simply resurfaced.

Moana’s announcement for MK seems to have been cut from D23 at the last minute. A big water area is maybe to replace RoA.

I took the Daft Punk as a joke!

CoP and GMR do seem unlikely.

Will they all happen? Probably not. But the plans for most might well do.

Ya know, tomorrow would be the perfect day with everyone focused on the hurricane for Disney to announce the destruction of Muppets 3D for Monsters.

I'm still very excited for DHS to get a sushi place if that's what Harryhousen's boils out to be. Price be damned, I want some simply stupid on paper but delicious in execution rolls.

I still cant believe door coaster is happening. Interested to see the lift thing.

I tried to move this subtly to a diff thread I made but it got deleted by someone. We really need a thread for stuff like this, because topic derailing has been VERY out of hand.

Is the consensus that Moana for MK is dead completely or still alive but will be announced at D23 2026?

If I were a betting man (and I am lol) my money would be on Moana in AL being the big announcement for D23 2026 when it comes to WDW announcements--plus more information on stores/restaurants/rides for Villains Land
Construction should be well underway on Monsters Inc and Cars, so probably opening "years" for those as well.

Genuinely baffling to me that, with the new Moana movie and Polynesian Tower coming out this winter, that they didn’t prioritize new Moana attraction at MK over new Cars ride…but maybe they’re trying to time the release of a new Moana attraction with the 3rd or 4th movie in the series…or the next DVC tower on the monorail loop?

I think GMR was a joke tbh. No way they’d bring back GMR, and in EPCOT no less. It just makes no logical sense with how Disney parks are run. Also, it was in a general discussion thread, not a rumor thread, if that means anything. Like others have said, mix of truth and jokes imo. I think we all might’ve gotten carried away yesterday.

If Moana is a beloved IP, which I firmly believe it is, then it really doesn't matter when it opens.

I don't think the parks need to time things opening based on movies, or shows etc. etc. If they are beloved then they will work whenever they open.
Look at Monsters Inc., Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Winnie the Pooh, Snow White, Tiana, Finding Nemo... the list goes on and on, but the point I'm trying to make is these are all IP presences in the parks that came well after their movies came out.
