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

And forget about that family from Denver???

Bob will be gone soon and maybe the new guy thinks skinny jeans are passé

The big question is will they turn to the APs again.
Could be a very good time to be a theme park fan in Orlando for the next 6 - 7 years if you can afford to be there

In what ways are you thinking? I don’t know what they've done in the past in that regard.

Heres hoping this could mean more passholder geared stuff in the parks.

In the past they have offered many discounts to APs when times are slow, brutal for the CMs but if you have the means it can feel like a blast from the past

To continue on topic, some years ago on this forum I was talking on another thread and it was mentioned that COVID had nuked a bunch of Disney investment in the parks. Then revenge travel kicked in and the whole
family from Denver comment and reservations and surrounding situation… But with all of that gone, and especially with a new park from Uni, it wouldn’t be good for Disney if they don’t expand or innovate too much in the parks, specially after all the announcements. Not that Bob would care, but Dana might (maybe not Dana but PLEASE NOT JOSH!!)

I'm an out of stater. I could be persuaded to purchase an AP if I was offered multiple tiers...if you're listening Disney.

Did something get canceled and I missed it, or is this just the daily rhetoric as usual?

When was the last time Disney announced the cancellation of a project?

Hint: they don’t. They just quietly shelve it.

But no, you didn’t miss an announcement.

Fair.

So we are speculating, heck making assumptions about a non announcement. Got it.

Nothing official, but hoping the destruction of RoA gets quietly cancelled

They haven’t even officially announced or revealed details on half the things people say are being cancelled.

Nobody has said anything’s been cancelled, have they?

We’re speculating about how the current world economic situation might affect their plans.

what projects that haven’t been announced are people speculating may be cancelled?

Many have said this will be an excuse to cancel things, including spending the money at all even on things that haven’t been revealed. Searching this thread + “cancel” yields over 100 resultant posts.

Yes it’s a Disney rumor board !!


A rumor is an unverified piece of information that is spread by word of mouth. Rumors are often a mix of truth and falsehood

I doubt even Iger himself knows for 100% certain what is going to happen.

It’s fun to speculate what the future holds!

What unannounced projects are people speculating have been cancelled?

Nothing cancelled. I speculate things could be delayed.

 

[James Alucobond]

What unannounced projects are people speculating have been cancelled?

I literally never said the word “project”. I just said people were speculating that over half the proposed funding (which we can assume was allocated to currently unrevealed things) would be taken off the table.

I wasn’t trying to criticize what anyone was saying, just pointing out that things that will get the axe will likely be things we haven’t heard about yet. Reading back, maybe I worded that poorly.

Yes. Speculating that things might get cancelled and, if they do, which one. And many hoping that the trashing of RoA is one of them.

No one has said “I heard that Monsters is cancelled”.

It’s a discussion. On a fan forum. No one so far has gone beyond speculation.

Except for Cars (for my own personal reasons), I hope work on everything in WDW starts ASAP, get the walls up and get going!

2025, 2026, 2027 is the perfect time to work on this stuff.

Disney can then blame the plummeting revenue and attendance in WDW on the construction and not the real cause which will be EPIC.

I don’t think the current situation counts as an “excuse.” “Reason” is more fair.
