Do you mean Destination D? That's like a glorified merch stand.

It does say "there is always a surprise or two in store!" but I'm guessing we won't hear anything about this attraction.
disney has spent more money in the last 2 years on park improvements and rides than almost any other time in history. I dont get why so many people complain. Almost every US park has/is getting major upgrades and I guess im in the minority but I appreciate it. Also purely speculation but I bet they announce the new Avengers rides for CA and HK sooner than later.

That money is being poorly spent. The parks still seriously lack capacity despite the obscene cost of recent projects.

I’ve also been spending a lot of money over the past few years, and just like Disney, I have nothing to show for it.
They mean unexpected merch in their shop.

That is something that crossed my mind. Doubt it’ll really make a difference but for the stingy accounting people it does help them see more of a direct value on theme park additions.

Except that it only reinforces the current problem of focusing on expensive marquee attractions that can drive revenue but will induce too much demand, not smaller experiences that increase capacity and add to a day.

That’s where Bob C. announced that ToT in Orlando wouldn’t be changing. More projects have been denied than announced at Destination D.

If you watch the Behind the Attraction episode on Tower of Terror, they pretty much explain Mission Breakout as a rushed, cheap retheme where the lead on the project is distracted by a bigger project he's managing in Florida. You almost have to wonder if the people behind that show were trying to be subversive because some of the stories aren't that flattering for Disney or Imagineering. The segment on Galaxy's Edge underscores how they were basically flying blind because no one really knew almost anything about the upcoming movies they had to base it on.
What are you referring to? Smaller and older attractions will remain to absorb the park capacity. The problem is those attractions will also face huge demand since some are quite popular like Pirates and Haunted Mansion. As long as the smaller attractions aren’t new, they won’t face significant demand, but doesn’t Disney reduce capacity of those older attractions (one train for Casey Jr Circus Train, or fewer Storybook boats). That’s what was argued in these forums before.
Disney released another Eternals trailer and 2 weeks remaining before Shang Chi finally opens in theaters. Feige is in China begging for China to allow Shang Chi to open there. Did Feige forget about Black Widow that didn’t open in China?
Did Feige know that marketing Eternals to India is a turnoff to China who are in a border war with India? China won’t appreciate the Bollywood sequence on Eternals.
Shang Chi is China’s Song of the South. The replacement of Fu Manchu for The Mandarin is not likely to fool them as the omission of Uncle Remus from Splash Mountain for US audiences.

Spider man 3, Dr Strange 2 and Thor 4 coming in next 10 months. All 3 should be huge hits.

I think the movies will be pretty good... it's still the distribution model that is not working. People don't want to go to the theater yet, but also seem somewhat unwilling to watch at home.... it is confusing.

If you believe Scarlett Johansson, the only reason they put Black Widow on Disney+ was to drive subscriptions, so they're not interested in separating the purchase from the subscription.

That makes the most sense to me, but there is still this idea that they are leaving money on the table by not being theatrical only. Theater owners and production houses are all betting on a return to the theater-only model and Disney (or really the rest of Hollywood) isn't ready to commit one way or the other.
I think the theater owners are eventually going to have to come to reality with the change in the landscape, but it will be years before they can change, and the major studios are ready now.
