News Disney plans to accelerate Parks investment to $60 billion over 10 years

At the risk of scouring 167 pages .... can anyone tell me if there is an actual acceleration? If so, how fast? If not, why not?

After today, they’ll have to cut down to $54 billion. Let’s hope they’ve stockpiled everything they’ll need for construction for the next several years.

Just because it’s accurate doesn’t mean you have to point it out like that!

I would rather get fewer announcements and everything be built then get many announcements and not have all of them be made, that said if they announce more and build it all I will be very happy.

Unrelated when are we gonna get some drones in WDW shows?! Even Universal is about to do it.

Go back 20 pages to your last post in this thread and read.

Iger should become a thesauriseur.

I fully expect most of this to be cancelled. Disney is about to face a tremendous fiscal crisis along with every other domestic theme park and leisure operator. There’s a reason the Disney stock is in the 80’s now with likely much farther to fall.

On the other side, crowds should be low for the foreseeable future, so it’ll be a great time to visit.

Bare minimum: we will get Tropical Americas. We will see about anything else…and they could always slow-walk Tropical Americas and open the rides a year apart for marketing purposes. I would guess Monsters, Inc. is too far along to cancel but I certainly think the odds of Villain Land are falling. Ugh.

We’re going to get the portion of Tropical Americas that replaced the half of Dinoland that is already closed, and that may take years. Anything else that can be cancelled will be. Dinosaur and ROA are likely saved.

The economy collapsing being the reason some of these attractions get saved was not on my bingo card.

I’m m fairly certain it wasn’t the day to talk about “acceleration”

…it still shouldn’t be

 

[Surferboy567]

They better not cut anything, they need these new additions and even the proposed ones are the bare minimum.

Do not put Monsters Inc back on the shelf or cancel Villians land. Universal isn’t stopping

Avatar at DCA will happen as well but that's because James Cameron would push to make sure it does. I'm more curious what will happen to the second half of the 10 years parks plan that I expected to be announced at D23 2028. By 2029 there could be a new administration in the White House that will get things back on track with the economy.

With villlains, maybe some dreams are meant to never come true….

Could be…?

If we stop electing a POTUS, they will have 46 AAs suddenly available in MK that can be used to give us an Encanto AA tour de force at DAK! They could use a larger DVC lounge at MK anyway.

I mean if Disney did ax things I think rumors will trickle out. we shall see.

Could be…?

Will be considering how much the economy will go in the toilet. Heck some in the GOP think they might be locked out of power for decades to come...

…so what if they do cancel things? What will change?

IDK, but considering what they promised with the 10 years parks plan, Disney will have some explaining to do at D23 2026 and D23 2028.

Disney will simply repeat the same cr@p they said at the last D23.

Disney talks about projects for several years before dirt moves.

I hope they do just continue to talk about Cars in MK instead of destroying RoA.
