Rumor D23 2024 WDW Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

[wdwmagic]

Festival of Fantasy deserves to be put to rest at this point. The current state the parade is depressing compared to its first few years. Also they better not announce on bringing back MSEP to MK for the millionth time to MK!

It is not MSEP

Honest Opinion: If the COP update is confirmed, the song "Now Is The Best Time Of Your Life" better come back or I am going to throw a fit of rage.

I’d be okay if that was in a small capacity. Think Grandma’s radio that “she keeps going all day long.” I don’t want to lose Great Big Beautiful for it again.

The 1964-65 Worlds Fair panel was probably one of my favorite panels I attended.

Festival of Fantasy could be fixed. They just won’t. Covid gave them an excuse to screw a lot of things up.

Or because FOF is over 10 years old! Not even Share A Dream Come True/Disney Dreams Come True/Celebrate A Dream Come True lasted this long.

I'd rather Moon Knight be back for Moon Knight Season 2.

if I recall they reused alot of old floats for those?

I wonder how many miles that castle crystal float has by now? lol

It's a true Nighttime Parade, Correct?

MK Isn't just replacing the 3pm Parade and running that Parade again before HEA.......

What do mean in the last sentence? Preserving TSI could mean a "shortcut" path behind it. Is that overly long?

Sorry, I know this was pages ago since the topic’s moving quickly, but I meant that regardless of what they do with RoA, chopping off the top of TSI makes sense if they want an efficient walking path from the west side of the proposed new land to the Haunted Mansion. Presumably, one goal of the expansion will be to improve traffic flow and eliminate the existing dead end at Big Thunder. I personally don’t think retaining all of current TSI would be worth the inconvenience of a much more circuitous path to the northeast around which it would probably be more difficult to puzzle in attractions and shops of a suitable density on the way to the Haunted Mansion as you approach some of the current backstage facilities. I think ideally, they’d just turn RoA into a loop with the Liberty Belle still running, perhaps sailing between a new northwestern port (with access to the new land) and the existing southeastern one.

Thanks! Makes sense.

yes

I haven't heard for sure that Cars booted the Coco proposal, but there's a lot of smoke. In any event, it's not necessarily RSR. Cars moves a lot of merch, and the proposal was put together to "more effectively" counter EU's offerings.

The Mesa artwork - if or when it gets released - is gorgeous. Wish we were all seeing it tonight.

The idea that Disney is pivoting a year before EU opens to "more effectively" counter it is really funny. Maybe they should have thought about that like six years ago when it was clear Mario was coming to Orlando.

I remember coming across this image online a few years back that mocked the amount of "Farewell Tour" Disney gave the parade for both WDW and DL.

Also can somebody make an edit of this pic of Wolverine holding a picture frame but featuring the Spectromen from Spectromagic? I'm still not over how WDW treated the parade!

All these marvel announcements, I don't even get how people have the time to watch it all and keep up with it lol. Marvel really fell off for me after end game, just way too much to me to get interested again.

This thread has taken an unexpected turn, and add me to the list of people who is unhappy about this. I swear, everything coming out of D23 feels like leftovers or a frozen dinner. It may be edible sustenance, but not the eye candy stuff that keeps you checking in on, "How long until dinner, I can't wait."

Ugh.

Well lets see what actually happens.

We've seen VERY late changes in the past, like almost "day of" - so at this point we still don't know the details with any certainty.

I will say that although I think Cars sound like a terrible idea for the Magic Kingdom, I also thought the rumored Coco flying simulator was a bad idea.

I like Coco in general at the Magic Kingdom, though. Just not that specific rumored attraction.

Agreed. Definitely wasn’t thrilled about the potential for a third Soarin’, so that’s one positive. I could also see it being okay if the cars themselves are generally obscured from my view while riding Big Thunder and there’s some sort of transitional logic and/or connection to whatever is replacing Villains (assuming it’s something else).
