No, IF it gets mentioned anywhere it will/would be at Chapek’s park talk later this month at the Mickey related D23 event.

Next week!
The TV special was filmed weeks ago in front of a live audience. If they had announced anything we would have known about it then.
There will be some announcements made at Destination D, but I have not been able to confirm if DL’s MMRR will be part of it. The ride is also now slated for Paris.

How sad that DHS had to lose GMR for a ride that is now slated to be cloned in two other locations...

Today's Disney is all about putting the same things in as many parks as possible to save on money, whether or not it makes sense. Why is the DCA Storytellers statue in Tokyo DisneySea?

The Disney of yesteryear would rethink attractions to have them fit better in each respective park.
For example, each iteration of Big Thunder and Splash Mountain are stylistically very different.
It's a shame that today's Disney believes copy/pasting attractions, and in some cases, entire lands regardless of whether or not it makes sense.

It cost more money to do things like that. Disney can't possibility afford it.

I mean, don’t they still technically do this?
TSMM/Soaring are each very different installations, even if the contents are the same. Very little things they have done are truly 1:1 copies.
The problem seems to be mostly born out in Florida.

I agree about modern Disney cloning everything. I think its a wasted opportunity to make unique parks and resorts but its been going on since Magic Kingdom kept the same fantasyland dark rides as Disneyland and added pirates rather than western river.
As for Tokyo Im pretty sure Disney gives copies of its statues to the oriental land corp as gifts every so often. As well as storytellers there is a copy of theMK Roy Disney statue at the entrance to Tokyo Disneyland and a copy of the sailor mickey statue from the cruise ships in the cape cod part of diseysea

I didn't know that, actually! Very interesting.

I don’t know what’s worse frankly, Disney owning DLRP and turning it into the clone fest or the thing limping along on life support... probably the latter.
I still see WDW as ‘the real problem’ though. The co-owned Asian parks are all pushing aggressively for diferentiation (a good thing). OLC is so fed up that they don’t want to pay for other resorts projects, that they want everything developed custom for them (also a good thing). DLR still seems to mostly have their projects custom or at least designed for the park.
It’s WDW that is opening a crap ton of things... and almost none of them are unique. SW:GE lifted from DL, Tron lifted from Shanghai, Ratatouille lifted from Paris... maybe I’m just so annoyed with that mentality that I’m turned to bemusement the one thing DHS was getting to ‘catch up’ - DL is now also going to get.
But as much as I hate duplicated projects, at least a Mickey ride feels appropriate to enter more than one resort.
Ratatouille really irks me though. Not because it’s amazing, but it was the one thing WDSP had a claim to. Tron less so as Shanghai has quite a few other signature attractions.

And let's not forget GotG which as I understand it is basically just a clone of what Avengers was suppose to be in DCA.

That’s the only thing I’m looking forward to as ‘unique’ now. I don’t think the DCA concept will be totally the same, if nothing other than room.
Although to be fair I am looking forward to Runnaway Railway, it’s technically WDW’s.

There are currently five Disneyland imitations around the globe.
I don’t care about repeated attractions anymore at this point. I used to, but not anymore.

Well since the DCA version appears to have been scraped so they can build it with better capacity, I'd say yeah its now completely unique. All I meant was that TDO basically just took Avengers coaster and used the GotG theme on it.
As for Mickey, WDW can claim to have the first Mickey attraction in the world. It might not be unique anymore in a couple years, but at least they can claim to be the first.
