Anything you can shed light on? Anything you feel positively about in terms of their cancellation? Looking for silver linings here haha.

I’m waiting for Martins answer to this but my guesses would be Mary Poppins and possibly Moanna? And spaceship earth? Guardians seems too far along and too big to stop but then again... it would be serious $$$.

I don’t know what’s been permanently cut. I do know Rat and SSE have not been. I’d be shocked if the rollercoaster in the box wasn’t completed eventually.

Tron and Ratatouille have been photographed recently with construction back underway.
There is no way rat, tron, and guardians aren’t getting finished. Like you don’t even need an insider to tell you that.
It’s just that we’ve heard some things are getting mothballed. Hopefully they’re not foolish enough to let their enormous investment in Tron sit there.

I'll go as far as to say there's no way in the universe they'd leave something that obtrusive in their flagship park so obviously undone.

What's been done is just too much. This isn't leaving the fantasyland skyway station there for years. At least that looked nice.

That doesn't even make sense. Rat/Tron/Guardians were greenlit by the board YEARS ago, money was allocated and budgets approved years ago, announced to the public years ago, and are in the near final stages of their construction. It would make 0 business sense to not finish and open them. They will need new signature attractions to promote for the next five years especially when faced with increased competition from Universal Orlando.

What is more likely to be cut are projects that haven't even started yet (SSE, any hope of a new tomorrowland for Disneyland) and smaller ancillary projects (Mary Poppins, Moana).

Nothing about the last four months make sense.

Imo, people wondering about the state and continuity of new proyects, regardless of how advanced they are or seem to be, is justifiable under the current circumstances.
