I could see a San Francisco area featuring Shang Chi and Big Hero 6 at the studios at some point.

I get the sentiment, but Star tours should not be touched until the areas of AC, Indy, RnRc and Grand Avenue are all addressed. Preferably in that order too

Yeah he made it clear that his opinion of it going in muppets courtyard was purely speculation. His reasoning is pretty sound though, he cited the fact that muppets courtyard is the far cheaper option compared to animation. Just once, I’m asking for Disney to be cool just once and put this in...

So for the race rally ride, are we thinking trackless for the ride system? The concept art makes it look that way, but I wonder how trackless would work in a mostly outdoor attraction exposed to the elements.

This is just my opinion, but it feels like Cars is an answer to Mario Kart and Monsters Inc is an answer to How to train your dragon. Definitely open to interpretation though. But like you mentioned, there’s no denying the Dark Universe-Villains parallel.

The idea is to replace a 10 minute short that can be seen on Disney+ with a film that represents Jim Henson’s legacy and is a Hollywood studios exclusive. Would you mind clarifying how that’s a bad idea? Mickey Mouse can be found around every corner of every Disney park, including right in the...

Perfect name. Merges the two names of Mickey Avenue and Animation Courtyard plus alliteration!

If monsters is set far back enough into AC, you can theoretically keep mermaid open as a miscellaneous street with Walt Disney Presents and the current “Pixar Plaza” area that has the incredibles stuff (renamed by that point of course). I could see them making an effort to keep mermaid in any...

Sorry if this has been alluded to already, but if this is indeed going in AC, is there a plan to connect it to sunset blvd to remove the dead end?

An office behind RnRc is most likely also behind animation courtyard. That backstage space is all one piece. The area of the park you’re “behind” depends on which direction you’re facing

After all the disappointing news of closures this week we could really use a win. Just put it in Animation Courtyard so we can be excited about something

Yeah it’s the right decision in theory, wrong decision given Disney’s track record. I would bet my mortgage on animation courtyard not getting its “expansion” opened by 2034

One can only laugh.

You may not know, but do you happen to have a clue of how quickly they currently plan to announce what’s going into animation courtyard then? Could this be something we hear about at destination d23 next year or are we looking at the next d23 event (2026) or later?

My money is still on AC For monsters. Muppetvision may not be long for this world but it should have at least until the next D23 in 2026. By then they’ll be ready to announce a new muppets show somewhere on property, allowing them to transform grand avenue at that point to whatever the second...

and then next thing we know, animation courtyard is the exact same as it is now 20 years from now because all the following “phases” got cancelled. Seen it way too much for this not to be the expectation.

Honestly the second best option behind DHS for Zootopia would be on the Speedway site in MK, merged into Fantasyland. That would actually make some thematic sense given that the land is themed after fantasy.

If Monsters goes into AC, why wouldn't the Zootopia expansion just take over Muppets a few years down the line instead? DHS has two areas due for redevelopment and two IPs to make mini-lands for. Monsters will get the first area and then Zootopia gets the second a couple years from now. Is it...
