In addition if figment isn’t at destination d23 this year (some whispers saying it could be the case), hate to be this guy again but I could see figment being saved as a “one more thing” in the next two major expos

We are definitely getting closer and closer to that being a reality! I know everyone has been saying that for so long, but it has to be soon!!

I feel like D23 2026 will be mainly used for more 'close to final' details on Villains Land.
Opening date for Monsters Inc. Land
And probably more details on the Cars ride as well. Maybe an opening 'vague year' like *In 2029* or something like that.

I'm holding out hope that they have another big announcement-like maybe that Moana ride in Adventureland, or whatever they are doing with Animation Courtyard. Even if it's as vague as the first Villains Land announcement was. Would be nice to see where their heads are at on that!

I’d put my money on 2026 announcements being pretty heavy on International parks and Disneyland Forward stuff with most of the WDW stuff being more concrete information about previously announced projects.

Moana for MK AL seems like a safe bet, considering how it was purported by insiders to have been pulled at the last minute from the 2024 slate.

The plans for Animation Courtyard and the first phase of the DL Forward (I think its going to be the Simba lot) are clearly in the second half of the ten year parks plan and that seems more likely to be announced at D23 2028.

If HOP and Liberty Square were turned into a Sleepy Hollow area, the ride would have to be pretty small unless they really expanded the building on the "market" seating area side and the opposite... I never actually heard anything about a sleepy Hollow Ride other than conjecture on here...

They need more actual E attractions. Not attractions they call E but are actually a bit meh.

honestly going to have to agree with this, with the extra assertion that said Es should be (or should've been) truly unique headliners rather than copies of other parks':
  • Fire Mountain in the southwestern Adventureland expansion pad
  • Frontierland could have either Western River Expedition or Geyser Mountain
  • the New Fantasyland project could've used at least one Hunny Hunt-caliber wow-inducing dark ride (whether it be a bigger and better Little Mermaid or something else), in addition to some more medium/small-scale traditional ones
  • Cosmic Rewind instead of TRON in Tomorrowland (not entirely sure what to do regarding that big box, but the least they could do is build two major attractions around it to hide it better)

Great points. I've been saying Cosmic Rewind and TRON should have been flipflopped this whole time.

The reason to have cosmic rewind in MK instead of Tron is because why?

Is cosmic rewind a higher capacity attraction?

I think the thought is that the themes of TRON fit a bit more readily into EPCOT than the superhero fantasy of Guardians. But I suspect a major reason things ended up the way that they did is that the desire to preserve and repurpose the UoE building meant the TRON canopy would have been difficult to incorporate.

The most significant theme in Tron is the conflict between man and machine. Tron tells a story that cautions the world about technological control and presents a dystopian vision of the future. EPCOT presents an optimistic vision of technology whereby technological progress marches us closer to utopia.

Tron’s dystopian story doesn’t fit in EPCOT.
