Agreed. And honestly, I don't mind. The underlying premise of Tomorrowland has always been a fool's errand since day 1, so I don't mind the premise broadening from things that actually are futuristic or predictive of the future to things that we generally associate with discovery, technology...
Are we forgetting:
Rapunzel going to TDR via Fantasy Springs
Coco going to either MK or DAK (speculation but nearly confirmed)
Encanto going to DAK (speculation but nearly confirmed)
Moana going to MK (more speculative)
Zootopia at DAK (confirmed but timeline TBD)
I love DAK's theme, but I get why the general population and even a wide swath of Disney fans think the theme is just animals it's Disney's Animal Kingdom and not Disney's Nature Kingdom, after all.
I've always found the theme and its nuances hard to articulate outside of these circles. Even...

This thread took a hard right very quickly and I look forward to the post above this to be removed soon.
That said, my two cents is that I'm surprised Disney went back to posting on X if only because X is known to not really be a traffic generator for brands at nearly as efficient of a rate as...
It does look to be using the Shanghai tech. Based on the concept art, and if they put as much muster into the DLR expansion as they did Pandora at DAK and Pirates at SDL, this really could be something to write home about.
There are two pieces to this I think: one, the incomplete entrance which, to me, suggests perhaps they've said "hang on, let's pause on that while we think bigger" and then of course this new Autopia announcement, which is like "we're replacing the vehicles but we can't say with what or when."
