It is weird though. Do we really believe they're saving that spot for Avenger's Campus East? That would require moving mountains (agreement with Universal). It seems so bizarre to earmark that spot for something when there's no guarantee it will ever happen.

I don’t think it’s very likely for Avengers. The 2 possibilities I’ve heard the most are Zootopia and Springfield. Universal is not likely to give up the Marvel rights but the Simpsons rights do expire so if a part of UnI moves down the street that one is much more likely. There‘s already a Zootopia land in Shanghai that would fit in AC location.

I’ll be over at SWL eating at the sit-down restaurant, interacting with all the roaming droids, and enjoying the deep, intricate RPG linked to my Magic Band.

Something I forgot to mention for @Casper Gutman is that there is still the developmental agreement with Florida, which provides mild guide rails for the next CEO. In and of itself it doesn’t guarantee these projects, but the announced slate is still not even 8B worth of work. So some sort of shades of this plus more has to be done by 2034.
I’d estimate we only have about 5-6B of capital expenditures announced on the very generous end.
Be careful, you don't want to miss there being too long a line for Baby Herman's on Sunset Blvd before hopping over to Main Street USA for an indoor theatrical performance.

The ten year plan is just a spending expectation. That’s it. There is no actual design plan that just hasn’t been announced yet. It’s also not a plan specific to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Nor is there an obligation.
And even if there was, a decade of inflation does a lot to billions.
Zero direct connection to anything g like Animation Courtyard at this point.

There is an obligation over 20 years. Inflation probably puts us in a position where it’s better than Bob’s first decade, but worse than his second.
Only carrying through in a tighter ten year cycle will actually yield a bigger post inflationary investment cycle than 2014-2023. By about 150% or so.
Ha. Not better than the time period that solidified the stagnant neglect.

No, that was largely Bob’s first decade coming off of erratic choices from Eisner’s.
Last decade did not solidify neglect, perhaps insufficiently dug them out of it?
There was some serious infrastructure, Disney springs, transit, refurbs of all the parks entries parking and spines. Including a good amount of generous attraction spend, whether you liked the product or not. The resort is not as neglected as it was feeling in 2014. Do not confuse me with giving them a good star that aspects of WDW are still below standards. But it was significantly worse, it also used to be significantly better before Eisners downturn.

100% agreed. That’s why we are talking about pie in the sky concepts of what may go to AC and not concrete plans. For all of us we see a stagnant area of the park ripe for improvement but there’s no guarantee it happens and as you said no guarantee anything goes to DHS at all. We also all assume that if DHS gets an allocation of funds it will be spent on a project in this area but they could opt for echo lake instead. Indy has costs to operate and Star Tours could be rethemed. Seems foolish to go that direction since the park needs more capacity but they’ve done foolish things before.

It'll be interesting to see how well the animatronics in Epic will be (There's 14 in the Monsters ride and at least 2 in Potter).

The Monsters animatronics look amazing. I'm happy there's a decent amount in that ride, but it's still a far cry from how many are in something like Pirates. But the thrill aspect of that ride should make that less noticeable at least.

Even the Peanuts characters are being used there....So, even having six flags parks in the mix
Nice to see the two old cranks, but does Waldorf sound very off to anyone else? Statler sounds spot on, but Waldorf sounds very "Impression-y" in a way.

It's been rough like that for a bit now...
The Matt V effect bht more that Dave G is probably aging.
Personally I find it to be the rougher with Statler most of the time. Since no more Nelson and Steve W.

Dave goelz is sadly aging. old gonzo in haunted mansion made me realize that and I didn’t like it lol. I don’t want him to retire yet, but if he does decide to do it soon it would be more than well earned.
I would love the Simpsons at dhs. I can somewhat get where people are coming from in AC, but me personally, I still want Springfield to come to dhs. Although if Disney doesn’t want a full big land, I still think Simpsons could fit in at dhs. Maybe a more smaller, “muppets courtyard” like area with a smaller supporting ride, and a shop and a moes and a krusty burger with a donut stand somewhere. That’d be nice.
