Rumor D23 2024 WDW Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

[HMF]

Oh god is Lion King based on the 2019 film?

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Josh said "animated" but the concept art showed "live action" versions of those characters.

 

[EeyoreFan#24]

Center lake with portals to different lands! Sounds EPIC!

 

[MagicEye99]

Why is this not based on the original animated film? Are they on drugs?

They spent too much money on this show for the majority of people to watch it through other people's phones.

 

[zemmyz]

oh look a book report splash mountain...hmmm....

 

[tanc]

where is North west singing?

 

[Captain Barbossa]

If there’s not a 5+ minute musical performance when they announce they’re putting a DVC stand and a churro cart beyond Big Thunder I’m going to be very disappointed.

 

[Speedy71]

Eww live action lion king.

 

[doctornick]

So.. Did the show writers have ADHD here or what? How do we go from Epcot we go on, to Disnyland Paris to the lion king splash mountin?

IT was strange that they said they would talk about Disneyland and then about entertainment... and unless I missed it they didn't actually announce anything for DL. I thought they at least say what they are going to put on for the 70th

 

[cr3346]

Why couldn't they have re-themed MK's splash to this?

 

[Thelazer]

What part of lion king did they ever go down a waterfall in? Someone remind me here. I'm lost.

 

[UNCgolf]

Wow, the LIVE ACTION lion king for the ride????

That's a choice.

That feels like a big mistake. The animated version is the classic; that's what people will want to see.

Blue Fairy, Peter Pan, Frozen, yep, all good....but what's with the obsession with Encanto? A flop film with a song that enjoyed a brief fad, and that's about it. Oh well. The art looks good overall.

 

[Tha Realest]

This all feels very off. There’s so much filler and people get restless.

Then, there’s no buildup and Josh’s like, “here’s a new ride.“ It gets a tepid response because it was either expected or theres scant details, and then…they just move on and do a weird version of a known song. Then, that’s it.

 

[Casper Gutman]

Saw Deadpool and Wolverine today. You have to hand it to Marvel, they are incredibly good at knowing what the audience wants to see.

Maybe they should tell the theme park division how they do that.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Oh god is Lion King based on the 2019 film?

That CGI Animated film has the largest box office of all animated films worldwide.

 

[Charlie The Chatbox Ghost]

Only 20 minutes left everyone….

 

[disneylandtour]

The music format is falling flat. People last night were way more in to the presentation. A lot here are clearly bored.

 

[Tha Realest]

That feels like a big mistake. The animated version is the classic; that's what people will want to see.

Given a choice of options, WDI goes with the less intuitive one (sequel trilogy, Tiana: The Series, and now this)
