It is kinda wild that ILLs finally showed Disney executives the light to adding capacity to the parks.

I really can’t see them backing out of Encanto. Is Coco really that popular?Villians is a no brainer, but the other…

I just think that is the wrong spot if they are going to do that. I’d rather them theme the Mexican pavilion at Epcot and use the open spot next to it and add a new ride maybe.
Villansland needs a large area and focus with so many things they could do with that.

I would say so. Seems like a good amount of Coco merch in the parks. It regularly is one of the top streamers on D+. Def one of the biggest modern tearjerkers.

I agree. A fully-fleshed out Villain Land with a couple rides, show, dining, and walkthrough would be SO cool.
Best they can do is one ride and a QSR…

That’s what I’m afraid of. That could create a huge win for Disney and knock it out of the park (figuratively speaking lol) if done right - think Harry Potter x2.
It needs more than a land. You could build a whole theme park dedicated to that so at the very least give us a huge land with expansion room and more opportunities down the road
…but they won’t
Popular enough Disney on Broadway is apparently developing the story into a live stage show.

Why are we thinking they are going to be announcing and expanding WDW so much when they just announced $5.5b in cuts and $700m reduction in capex

I don't see any announcements of any new rides. I could see the reskin of Dinosaur (which I will hate no matter how good of a job they do) but I would put anything new to be at least one to two years down the road. Probably once they have staunched the bleeding of Disney+ and sorted out a few other things.

Because Bob said they are adding new lands.
You think he’s lying to shareholders?

Isn't Moana coming first?

No, but that doesn’t mean things won’t be cut before they happen. Did he say they are adding new lands specifically to WDW…Only thing I saw was about DLP and Disneyland avatar stuff.

Wait, DLP stuff?
Is it referring to the Pixar show or is there new attraction details?

While I freely admit to having no inside knowledge, I doubt it. I think that they would freeze new builds but could reskin Dinosaur for far less. I wish, truly wish, that Moana's ride would be built but I doubt it. Now, if I'm wrong, I will happy to have been wrong.
Unless you are talking about Moana: Journey of Water, in which case, yes it will be first.

I thought I saw something about Avatar stuff there as well but I may be mistaken

They certainly do, I’m just not sure sure EncatoCocoland is = Epic Universe

IIRC the last thing I read on the DLP forum regarding Avatar was a post a week or two ago stating that Pandora had been ruled out as a possibility for WDSP.
