TheDisInsider site (which has been pretty reliable on the movie/tv front) has consistently stated that Chronicles of Prydain is in active development, but won't spill if it is for D+ or elsewhere.

I'm super curious to see what the next round of greenlights are for Studio. I was encouraged yesterday when Lucasfilm took on a non-Star Wars, non-Indiana project that really seems to fit the Lucasfilm brand. Disney is definitely due for a rough patch at the theatre. Although that can be...

In a strange way, this whole thing has become a test of how much of a non-local tourist draw DLR really is. It doesn't seem to have passed the test with flying colors...based on the 'panic' some folks are reporting. Which should mean more attention paid to WDW in the future. Also, it is...

I think this is one of two options after yesterday: 1 - if they had something super exciting to share that could be material to earnings, they would have done it during the earnings call to take some of the sting out of the earnings report. 2 - they knew they needed something to get wall...

Well. If the announcement is material to CapEx or OpEx, they would probably discuss it at a high level during earnings. If it isn’t either of those, then this is just some exclusive Funkos.

It is part of the original rumor.

Are you hinting at Aladdin?

Well. They already committed to discussing this the Epcot overhaul. So that isn't a surprise project either.

But it is a press conference beforehand and a 1 hour panel. So it is something that the mainstream press will care about and they want to hype and they have the back up for the hype. This is an interesting puzzle. Too much hype for a regular announcement, but it is only an hour panel.

True.

While I still think a 5th gate is possible someday, and I would love for them to surprise us, the only theme I could see them dedicating a new park at WDW to would be Marvel. And the contortions that would have to happen to make that possible are significant and would mean that Comcast made a...

The other thing outside of Parks, is that they seem to be staffing up their games division again with industry execs. But D23 doesn’t seem like the right place for that type of announcement. Disney Plus is already a main attraction and has already started to promote all of the year 1 and 2...

They do occur. But Brayden from MickeyViews has been hinting heavily before this was announced. So a little something has gotten out.

Which means no one has guessed correctly, or this is a well kept secret with few opportunities for leaks.

But hasn’t there been a large amount of land recently purchased for conservation offset? (As discussed elsewhere, likely not enough) No way is that Disney Air thing true. No profit margins in airlines. This does feel like a Parks project. The timing is too convenient, Disney knows what...

I think we should be careful about reading too much into this. The exec has had multiple HR complaints about a suite behavior. I suspect they will keep Blue Sky in some capacity.

Wakanda could be considered and maybe no trade necessary. We act like we know everything about that contract, when the amendments (which likely more effectively define ‘family’) are not public. We assume that BP is in ‘our’ definition of families for either Avengers or FF. But Black Panther may...

It is the same conversation. Just the people are different. And DAK attendance is looking pretty good these days. And it seems like every year about this time we get word that attendance isn’t meeting projections. I suspect that some of the inside sources translate Q4 goal pushes for bonus...

Did someone just copy and paste the ‘Disney management is panicked that Pandora is not busy enough’ chain from the summer it opened and just did a find and replace? If DLR management is concerned they aren’t busy enough, then maybe they just didn’t pay attention to what happened with Pandora...

I think you are right to a point. You can keep the settings and slowly and continuously update the attractions to mirror modern sensibilities. Disney has come a long way in learning how to treat Polynesian cultures respectfully since the 60's that should be incorporated and I think there is a...
