I agree, however I think Disney is working through finalizing ideas for what a new Tomorrowland will look like before shoving something into Stitch. (I think Stitch gets a replacement prior to major overhauls in Tomorrowland to boost capacity) Epcot I have a feeling will get additions in...

Quick Summary: *Please let me know if I'm missing any credible rumors. 2025-26 will be Universal's to take with Epic Universe. Beyond, it's a tight race and I think Disney is giving Universal a run for it's money beyond that. Not defending Disney's inaction to have something ready to go these...

If you had a corporate mandate to keep them (and... Monsters, Inc. is deadlocked for Muppets) would you prefer Imagination or Liberty Square. My hope is for them to retain its current location, but Disney seems insistent on keeping them around in the parks somewhere.

The issue with Gringotts is that Universal made the mistake of selling this as a coaster, not a dark ride. It's meant to be more of a dark ride than a coaster. It's a dark ride that just so happens to use coaster track. Tron is a better coaster, but Gringotts is a better attraction IMO

+Keep Muppets at WDW (if Monsters, Inc. replaces it) +Continued Muppets Merch Sales +Muppets Themed Restaurant to increase interest at Liberty Tree Tavern +Removes the need to update HoP every 4-8 years +Increase interest, therefore added capacity to MK (while technically not a capacity...

Yes, Disney will be able to compete... after 2027. For the next 2 years, Universal will be the "gold standard" in theme park experiences because of Epic Universe. However, WDW as a whole will hold up to UOR overall since USF at the moment is dragging down the resort unfortunately. However, we...

Just for reference, not trying to be exact here.

Yes - I mentioned that in my last sentence. My hope is that we see more 12AM closures. We shall see.

Better than nothing, my hope is that Epcot returns to focus in the latter part of the decade (2028-30).

Yeah, later park closures will be the new normal next year. With 12AM closures more likely. Only thing that could prevent that is still running night parade at 11PM, but the park still closes at that time.

Excited for the parade, but this is truly what I'm looking forward to the most. Close at MK right now is absolute mayhem with HEA at 9:20 & park close at 10PM during the summer.

I'm hopeful that it's a replacement for the Tomorrowland Speedway. It just makes sense long-term to find a replacement for it while providing future expansion space for Tomorrowland/Fantasyland. Not a fan of the current Speedway, but it's popularity/nostalgia factor for children/parents is a...

We really need TEA to release their attendance report for 2023.

Just as a reminder, a necessary part of this expansion is the Kirkman Road extension that will include bus lanes for UOR hotels to connect to Epic. While not technically required, it is needed to reduce traffic congestion in the area.

My biggest hope is for realistic timelines for whatever gets announced. Not expecting anything Beyond Big Thunder prior to 2030, but the DAK/DHS additions should come before then and we should get a year attached.

Even with Universal's rabid expansion plans... they haven't done much to convince folks to visit this year and their recent additions are not "attendance drivers" like VelociCoaster or Hagrid. Minions Land, outside the Cafe, is just a poor addition. This year's entertainment lineup is...

I'm leaning towards the podcast team not getting the memo. These things are recorded/planned in advance... so I'd have to imagine someone forgot to update the graphics. Universal has the worst internal communications in the theme park industry. They just announced today a scare zone for HHN...

Because the majority of people who would watch this panel are already subscribers to Disney+ I also prefer to watch an unofficial livestream since it can capture audience reaction... which Disney cut last time Chapek was on stage and booed.
