D23 2024 Disneyland Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

[mickEblu]

Man I wish we had these boat rides at DCA the last few years. DCA with a child under 40 inches is rough.

 

[mickEblu]

I believe it’s on the right side of TSMM. Entrance would roughly be around the band stand area.

oh interesting. So that probably wouldn't impact Paradise Gardens or Goofys Sky School then?

I wish I knew exactly where that spot is. I don't see any space back there. Behind the TSMM building?

Yes, there was the rumor for a long time that an entrance for a dark ride would be placed here -

 

[mickEblu]

Yes its two rows for the one at SDL, but that is still low capacity compared to other ride systems. Plus as @C33Mom point out it has the same issue with disability transfers.

Yeah that's probably why it isn't being considered for anything. Too bad doesn't give me a lot of hope for my Aladdin ride.

That assumes it goes back behind the Incredicoaster/TSMM. But I could see them putting it in the Gardens area replacing Goofy also, so I guess we'll see.

No offense but I don't see them building an Aladdin attraction. But then again I didn't see them building a Lion King attraction either, but look what we got. Lol.

There are the parade and other service buildings back there, but they could be moved elsewhere.

Yeah I can see that too and because Paradise Gardens is my favorite spot in the park I can almost guarantee it.

The parade building was always temporary from what I remember, as it was always rumored to be the spot for a dark ride.

I would love an Aladdin dark ride on a magic carpet (would also be a cool family coaster, I think)—but imagine if they themed it to the live action remake.

What a meme for Disneyland lol

Damn you to those hotels and that 7-11 on the corner of Harbor and Katella. That’s prime expansion real estate for DCA. Sell your land !

Oh God no. Thankfully Will Smiths slap heard round the world may have spared us from that.

On a long ago visit to Disneyland I saw what I took to be a poster announcing an Aladdin attraction coming to Adventureland. Imagine my indignance went on my next visit it turned out to be a restaurant!

@mickEblu not to bring down your mood. But what are your thoughts on Critter Country being renamed to Bayou Country?

I didn't see anything about that. Where was it announced?

It was announced during that montage of all the opening dates for existing projects. It was the same time they announced Tiana opening Nov 15th.

I wasn't watching the livestream at that point. I think it makes no sense and I hate it if true. Like for sure or was it an offhand comment about Tiana being out in the bayou? Bayou country? Featuring a ton of Pine trees, rustic charm, the Country Bears and Winnie the Pooh. Man, they are forcing Tiana into that side of the park in every imaginable. Doesn't Critter Country make more sense considering everything the land encompasses?

It is true, and confirmed in the Parks Blog I linked in that post.

And as I've been saying all along it makes the most sense for it to be an extension of NOS, which it appears they are leaning into here.

"Bayou Country is situated on the edge of New Orleans Square with shady trees, mesmerizing music and a vast collection of enchanting surprises. Guests will discover a land filled with friendly woodland animals, from a trumpet-playing gator and an adorable bear who craves honey to a musical cast of bears, frogs, and other critters."
