I doubt they'll say anything about Tomorrowland, or that anything substantial even happens with it this decade. My guesses for announcements this year are more details on Avatar, an update on the Avengers timeline, and the Eastern Gateway. Then it'll be onto talking about the WDW expansions...

UO apparently, but I'd rather they not touch Spaceship Earth until everyone involved in the pre-Covid decision to re-theme it from discovery and technology to a history of storytelling (translation: send in the IP!) has moved on to other things.

The queue seemed a bit more interesting to me. The ride itself felt a little longer and faster, though I may have lucked out being further back. And I like the rolling effect during the earthquake, and how you pass through the town during the ride rather than at the end after you've slowed down...

My UOs Haunted Mansion is better at MK than DL, hitchhiking ghosts and all (when they work). I also think MK has better versions of Big Thunder, Space, and Jungle Cruise but opinions on those seem to be more evenly split. I don't miss the Skyway one bit. I do miss the Studio Backlot Tour, even...

If I had to pick one from each park: MK - Carousel of Progress (all of the others I consider "untouchables" still have versions at other parks) EP - Spaceship Earth HS - Rise of the Resistance (yeah it's at Disneyland too, but with Great Movie Ride and the Studio Tour already gone, there's...

I wouldn't mind Staggs, and of those in the conversation he seems to have the widest breadth of knowledge across the portfolio, but isn't this primarily the same board that already gave him a vote of no confidence once? Sorry, D'Amaro, I don't see them again going for someone from the Parks...

Elemental gets its theatrical release and performs decently, but Wish is delayed to at least 2024. Avatar 2 box office does not meet expectations; Avatar 3 continues as planned but 4 and beyond postponed indefinitely. James Cameron gives bitter interviews blaming comic book movies for dumbing...

I'm guessing next year will be an enormous price hike, now that people will be stirred into a FOMO panic. "No time to think twice about that $2,000 pass, the queue's already at 12 hours!"

What's next, cabana tents next to Space Mountain? Oh wait...

You don't have to be a D23 member to get into the expo, but you do get a discount on tickets if you're a member (and the earlier in advance you buy, the better the discount). The basic membership is free, there's also a "gold" tier that includes a quarterly magazine and a few other random perks...

While Virgin Galactic's an interesting choice, he could've done worse. Wonder how Kevin Mayer's feeling right now at TikTok, which seems on the verge of being banned in the US.

I'm leaning towards no :( I'm not sure how long the planning takes but I'd think Disney would need to know well in advance, like sometime this year, whether California will allow conventions by that time. If the state sticks the original 4-phase plan, conventions wouldn't be allowed until...

Hmmm... they could have Kermit and friends take over Pooh. Start in the bayou/swamp with Rainbow Connection, and then in later scenes incorporate the other muppets... some sort of Muppets Take Mardi Gras adventure or something. Plus, they probably still have all those Muppet Vision 3-D lobby...

Don't want to be a downer but my hunch is N/A (at least until Labor Day), if the unions have appealed to the Governor to stay closed.

Ms. Campbell sure got a nice promotion. Didn't even have to put in time in Orlando, straight to an exec role reporting to the CEO in the only division even close to fully operating at the moment.

I definitely remember Superstar Limo/Who Wants to Be a Millionaire/Soap Opera Bistro - era DCA, and yet I had no idea about Le Feet! I agree that Trolly Boys (and Girl!) was pretty bad, at least the music was. The dance club beat, and something about the harmonies on a couple of the songs...

Chapek's dream acquisition -- Target! kidding... mostly...

Best I can hope for is that Parks and Products get split into separate divisions again.

Interestingly, I was Group 70 on Friday 1/24, and was given a 2 hour window to return (I got the notification around 2:45 I think and had until 4:45). I'd just assumed they reverted to a 2-hour return like WDW, I didn't even realize it is still usually a 1-hour return here.
