Hey I know this is off topic but does anyone know why the thread suddenly has a medal next to it in the park news section of the site?

Personally speaking, I really hope these tariffs don't screw over any project at WDW (and just any theme park as a matter of fact), especially with the fact that Disney really needs them to compete with Epic Universe. I would personally be fine with them delaying TA to 2028 if it means we can see the Indiana Jones and Encanto rides without and cutbacks as I think both rides do sound really interesting to me at least. But I guess we can hope for the best wait and see what happens.

I don’t think this is going to be a good year for WDW… not just because of tariffs but that will most likely be part of it.

Regional parks will probably do better since families will still have some spending money.

Disney has some very interesting cards they could play, but I’m not sure if those cards are actually in the deck! Haha. There could be some very creative ways to spin budget cuts on construction projects “because of unprecedented demand” of fan favorite attractions.

Preemptive cuts have already been done. Now it's just a matter of what can be cut without negatively impacting the company. Though like anything else, they'll just pass any increases straight to the consumer. There's more to come and they now have an excuse to justify it.

I'm fun at parties, honest!

we don’t even know what the replacement is at all!

This could be the one time Disney could cut something and people would PRAISE them.

If anything will get cut unfortunately, it’s probably that AC replacement, and they’ll space things out with what they have now. That and increase prices again.

Could this cause the Rivers of America project to be cancelled?

That one is more complex - completely cancelling that project also cancels the existing plans for 2 announced expansions at MK.

If they are determined to fill in the River… it’s also good timing when big thunder is down.

But honestly…. So much has changed since the D23 announcement - I’m kinda surprised they went ahead with more info on monsters when they did. I feel like everything has to be in question marks right now.

Probably not, worse case is that it might end up being shelved for the time being along with Villains Land until there's a better time to start construction on it, but I doubt it'll be cancelled as Disney does seem kind of determined to get RoA filled up and replaced with the Cars mini-land and Villains

The only thing they’ve firmly announced is the closure of Muppets, which saves them money. That will happen. Everything else is subject to change.

I don't consider my self a fancy pants economist, business person, or knowledgeable theme park operator, but in my opinion, it would seem short sighted to delay/cancel projects that you know are going to taken 2-4 years to complete (if not longer) for an economic situation that is likely to have the most effect in the next 1-2 years...

So what you're saying is don't listen to all the pretend experts on these boards?
