I'm guessing D23 next year will be the big one for MK and AK.

We’ve got concrete confirmation they’re building billion+ projects. We just know earlier than normal, and don’t know the plans. Normally plans just get designed all the time to see what sticks, but here there’s an expansion mandate and design is coming second. This is exciting, even if we don’t have details.

They could’ve said, “here’s blue sky in Hollywood Studios” or something else that’s crazy this year. But they didn’t. They doubled down on their large expansion plans. This is a win. South American continent plans look gorgeous

If this goes all Villains it’ll be the second thing I’m actually looking forward to alongside the new Test Track.

I think there is enough demand for an entire villain themed land. Mixing villains with both Coco and Encanto made no sense.

My gut reaction is that Encanto would be more appropriate at Epcot than Animal Kingdom. HOWEVER, it could work if the focus is on Antonio and his ability to communicate with animals.

Since when have they kept IP to just one park?

This is true, but seemingly the casita destined for AK (if it happens) would be the ideal focal point of any Encanto based area.

I wonder if they've shifted focus with BBTM and they will look to extend Frontierland with BTM in that direction with NOS taking over the original land as I assume it's only a matter of time before Tiana's Palace arrives. The rest is Villains and Coco?

Depending on execution, a Coco (Mexico-ish?) land that has a land of the dead element could be a perfect transition between Frontierland and a villains land. And HM on the other side (with restaurant?) works well as a transition from Liberty Sq - and could be even better with some sort of Sleepy Hollow attraction there

Coco segueing into the Land of the Dead segueing into Nightmare seguing into Haunted Mansion would flow really nicely although it makes me worry about how long we actually will get to take a riverboat cruise on the Rivers of America.

I don't give a dang about blue sky water color paintings. The ONLY thing that I care about are projects that have an ACTUAL financial green light from Disney finance. Without that,...these fantasy ideas are worthless.

Announce that the budget and money have been approved and...get a real "break-ground" date!

Only then....can we get excited and wait for construction to finish in 5-7 years.

They have billions in capital expenditures allocated for the parks. That’s not a lie. How/where they spend that will depend, but they have the green light for big projects, just perhaps not specific projects. All this cynicism is silly.

Was wondering if they took this approach, they might be able to keep the Rivers of America it it’s entirety? I guess the trick would be to have the path of travel go to the new land behind Splash and BTM, then all away around. Does anyone think this is possible?
