Rumor Brazil is the frontrunner for a new World Showcase Pavilion

Wakanda? That sounds funny at first but you know that somebody somewhere is talking about some sort of IP tie-in with a movie that's going to make $200 million plus in its first four days...

Plus it might help drive business for a demographic Disney doesn’t excel at bringing in.

That normally happens last.

The person asked a simple question and I answered their question. I wouldn’t want to get their hopes up and say things are progressing but I can’t say anything........yet.

And as we've seen again and again (but very recently), an official announcement still doesn't mean it's going to happen.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see other things quietly forgotten about.

Because of scaling back or because of reprioritization?

Scaling back.

Scaling back.

Of more things already announced at D23? Or other stuff we, (as in on this forum) kinda know about?

I cannot in all honesty "like" your post, but thanks for the tip.

For WDW: Tron, the MK theater, the M:S restaurant and the new film in China are the only projects announced at D23 that are not well into construction.

Beyond that it could be cutbacks for projects already under construction.

Scaling back.

It has to be the Space restaurant or the new film in China. I can’t imagine what else they would be scaling back.

So when's that new pavillion starting?

...it's always "something" with those - it seems...

Armchair wishful thinking. How’s the new attraction over at thw UK coming along?

Epcot Spine redo?

 

[Haymarket2008]

Shouldn’t the Space restaurant start construction soon to meet the 2019 goal.....?

Space restaurant is co-sponsored. China has begun its scheduled process but could still be pulled.

God Save The Rat, perhaps?

No announcement from Disney. Things could change. Maybe.

@marni1971 is the UK attraction still happening? Mary Poppins?

The last I heard was a UK attraction should still happen. Though I admit that was before a conversation I had last week about revaluation of capex.

Should we start fearing that what happened to the Coco attraction might happen as well to the UK attraction?
