Rumor D23 2024 WDW Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

[GhostHost1000]

I hope AK and HS do get actual capacity increase not just replaced capacity… It is so desperately needed

I have a bad feeling AK won’t get capacity increased other than more square footage (land). They already removed the Primeval coaster, next they’ll remove the spinner and Dinosaur to replace with 2 rides. AK needs about 5 more (additional) attractions right now and a night show.

There is no second event on the schedule

It's literally right here, I don't know what to tell you.

They're going to do all of the Parks stuff first, then that'll end and they'll start doing the Games stuff.

The bloggers reporting that the Fortnite stream is going to show the Parks announcements are wrong.

 

[Tha Realest]

Yup, it was his first time ever on a D23 stage. Harrison Ford was actually NOT there last night, by contrast. Though we know he has to be there by Sunday.

I think @Tha Realest ’s list is quite predictably solid. We’ve known Jim was going to three-peat for a while.

Thanks. Also, maybe LMM will triple (quadruple?) threat as it relates to Moana and Lion King (he’s doing music for Mufasa).

Why are these panels starting at 11:30pm?
Don’t they know we’re old?

 

[Tha Realest]

Oh PS, I think you should all be able to find an influencer doing a periscope or whatever just fine for tonight. The policy very much seemed to be the same as other years, recording the parks panel should be a ok.

Yep.

It's literally right here, I don't know what to tell you.

Some footage has already leaked of Harrison Ford doing the intro of the Fortnite x Disney footage.

Wonder what Incredibles 3 will be about!?

Hopefully the Underminer gets his moment to shine.

The rights-management issues associated with sizzle reels and that sort of thing are impossibly complicated.

No it’s not. Not streaming was a decision someone made. Which is fine - but they could have done it if they wanted to.

The Parks Presentation is at 7pm PT, I believe....

Let’s knock out Entertainment early, OK?

I’m saying there is no second event in the Honda center.

Your screenshot is just referring to the Fortnite “show”

You are correct that the Fortnite stream will not show the park stuff

 

[MaximumEd]

Any chance Tony Baxter or Rohde will take the stage?

 

[bwr827]

Capacity issues are their own making, especially when they close but don't replace.

Who else would have made their capacity issues? Water is wet, news at 11.

 

[Tha Realest]

Any chance Tony Baxter or Rohde will take the stage?

No idea on the former.

As to the latter, I think it’s certain we hear something about Avatar, and I’d be shocked if both Cameron and Rodhe weren’t on stage for that - if nothing else than to give a tribute to Jon Landau.

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

Any chance Tony Baxter or Rohde will take the stage?

Always a chance but I would say unlikely.

It would be a great move for the fans to have them both involved

That’s 9pm CST and 10pm EST

I should live in Hawaii…

Here's what I think will be announced for WDW today...

• Beyond Big Thunder Phase 1
• BTMRR Explosive Finale
• Tropical Americas
• MK Nighttime Parade
• Test Track update
• Pirates Bar update
• Bluesky for Epcot and Hollywood Studios

I'd expect Disneyland Forward details to be announced as well, as well as further details on DLP, TDR, and SHDR updates. My gut feeling is that Tokyo will be getting Country Bear Musical Jamboree, no doubt about it.

 

[BrianLo]

I saw countless videos of “exclusive” content from last night’s panel mere minutes after each announcement. It’s safe to say that we’ll be able to find everything

They were policing it, but harder in Honda as figured. Now that said those were clips, but I think uninterrupted streams for parks will actually be “allowed” as annoying as that might be for me. No one in my immediate vicinity is an influencer it seems like, but an old man managed to record several of the trailers and they had a hard time flagging him down in the middle of our section. But eventually nailed him with a flashlight.

If a new dragon is indeed in the works for DL's Fantasmic!, an announcement here would be a home run for the local crowd there.

Similar to how HEA's return announcement at the last D23 was a home run for the locals there.

Haven't seen this mentioned on many people's predictions, but I think it's likely/given.

What was the official rule / announcement? No streaming? No video?

You're a friendly fellow ain't ya.

I was hoping for an appearance by Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow to announce a new Pirates movie last night, sadly it was not to be.
