Honest question... it seemed that they made it clear that you would enter the "attraction" by going through the front door of the Banks' house... would they really have such an elaborate entrance way to just lead you out the back to an outdoor flat ride? If it is just a flat ride, wouldn't they use such an elaborate entrance way to set up (at least) an indoor flat? I get if you don't have an answer... these are really more hypothetical questions anyways... since construction hasn't started (heck, demo hasn't even started), I'm sure it's possible that even Disney doesn't know 100% what this is going to be...
The ride might be indoors if they're going to utilize screens to enhance the carousel.
Or, the ride might be just a place to have a queue with fun interactive stuff, like for Peter Pan.
Personally no. But that’s the way it’s also been described to me.

Hmmm, since one of the alleged problems with Galaxy's Edge is that it's based on Disney's Star Wars and not on Lucas'...wouldn't it make sense that the Poppins ride be based on the original film and not on the Iger version?
Too much to be hoped for, probably...

I was looking at Google Earth 3D images of this area because I wasn't super familiar with the layout and found the images really interesting and helpful so I thought I'd post them here. I'm assuming the tree area/garden/stage is the limit of where construction will be, I would be pretty shocked if they tore out World ShowPlace or any surrounding structures.

Is it possible for this to be a enchanted tales with belle but just Mary Poppins themed?

Random prediction: the Cinderella quick change MnG from the original Fantasyland expansion reskinned to Mary Poppins.

Knowing Chapek it will probably be a glorified Meet and Greet. I hope I am wrong and they do a dark ride.

there's really no room for a dark ride building unless they tore down World Showplace , which is unlikely

There's plenty of space for a dark ride without removing anything.there's really no room for a dark ride building unless they tore down World Showplace , which is unlikely

God I hope not! What a lousy idea that would be...

For a dark spinner/flat/'tales', yes, there is plenty of room.
For a dark 'ride,' they'd have to take out some of the back lot (which belongs to the UK pavilion to begin with) short of removing Showplace.
And yes, we keep going through this again and again as people refuse to read a thread before posting in it.
Absolutely and the original Mary Poppins had better songs and dance sequences. If they wanted to integrate the two, it can be done by integrating the dance sequences to have both the chimney sweepers and lamp post dancing in an outdoor plaza show. I would love them to do a dark ride where you ride on a carousel to start and then each horse breaks from the carousel to the dark ride portion. It revives the original Imagination turntable in an updated ride approach.
Yep, too much to expect from today's Disney.
why is this still classified as a rumor for the topic?

Would have loved more deets, but I'm just happy Mary is getting some love.

Me too, but I'd settle for a carousel. A glorified Meet and Greet would be a huge letdown.

Excited for this, hoping it's some kind of indoor ride, even a souped up spinner.
Also, kind of off topic story but figured it best fit here. Has to do with Dick Van at D23.
During the convention we stayed at the Disneyland Hotel (first time there) and at night later after the parks panel a friend of ours went down to the bar outside by the pool and chatted with this bigger guy who was by himself drinking.
Turns out he was a bodyguard/assistant to Mr. Van and talked about how much he was affected by the reception and the standing ovation he got at the Parks panel, and how he cried backstage after claiming he didn't think he would elicit that type of reaction. Some family of his was also there I believe and were really emotional.
Thought that story was heartwarming. Apparently he was at that quick service/bar earlier but at that point it was around 10 pm, so he had gone back to his room at the hotel for bed.
