Rumor D23 2024 WDW Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

[Sir_Cliff]

DCA was the real winner of the night. Its makeover is stronger on paper than any of the major WDW ones last decade, even DHS.

Yes, all the talk of expanding capacity at WDW seems odd in light of the announcements tonight. It seems the Monster's Inc. coaster will replace at least one existing attraction (if not two) and Tropical Americas does involve one major new ride, but is also a makeover of an existing land. That leaves Cars in Frontierland, but even that looks like it will be one major attraction and perhaps some kind of flat ride that may also end up taking a few existing attractions out of action.

DCA is pretty much all growth, and in some big ways.

Im kinda disappointed with their entertainment lineup. I mean Disneyland’s 70 is just around the corner and no concrete announcements regarding entertainment has been made.

Also Whats up with them and Disneyland paris not getting new offerings at all. No original attraction announcements no parade. and TDR yeah, Thats a no brainer since they need to get an approval from OLC just to announce new offerings like tomorrowland and the new cruise being built.


Hongkong Disneyland never received an announcement on the Avengers E-ticket and not Spiderman ToT ride. or new parade being planned.


I feel like theres an another big event coming after this and this is just the beginning of announcements.

Maybe villains is taking the plot behind Adventureland and cars is bbt?

It wouldn’t make sense to not put your villains area attached to fantasyland…so behind haunted mansion/small world really is the only spot that makes sense…if possible?

I haven’t gathered the bugaboo on monstropolis. This thread is like 50 pages longer than when I left it. Is it not going into behind the animation courtyard plot?

We know nothing about replacements as it stands. Anyone declaring otherwise is dead wrong.

Why? Because these two idiots - and they’re still idiots - keep pulling this crap in Orlando.

We all do know the angles at this point, correct?

In my eyes, Disney has redeemed itself.

EVERYTHING IS AWESOME- WHAT COULD GO WRONG

For those wondering where monsters goes- it’s actually both muppets/star tours *and* animation courtyard according to their concept art.

Each of the two concept arts show each location. So it’s one of those… whichever one is the newer concept art.

Just like encanto now not being a boat but still using old boat concept art and cropping it out.

From Schmoozy singing life is a highway to the totally non confusing concept art… production knocked it out of the park tonight.

The suggestion is that, from the artwork, it looks like it may replace Star Tours and/or MuppetVision.

That comes from Brayden, but he seems correct that Grand Avenue and the Muppet courtyard pavers seem to be in the pic.

"You know that Door Coaster from 20 years ago that circulated the deepest corners of the Disney superfan community? If we just pull that off the shelf the fans won't be happy. It won't be enough, so we'll need to pull out the Villains Land card."

"If we actually do it, they'll be happy. I’m sure they’ll be!!!"

 

[ednamodedarling]

Also loving that lady tremaines homes seems to be included in the concept art … indicating a possible dark ride with all of the villains?

 

[AdventureHasAName]

For everyone asking where these attractions are going to be built, I have inside information that a sizable portion will be placed in Hyperion Wharf. It is my understanding that they are already trucking in seed and mulch.

 

[MisterPenguin]

weren’t it going to replace rock n roller coaster

Only if you tear out the current track, or raze the whole building.

Can't put hanging ride vehicles on a track that RVs ride on top of.

Hey @marni1971 can you share us the concept art for the proposed Disney Villains Boat Ride from years back? Is that ride still alive?

 

[Captain Neo]

The space will be home to two major attractions, dining, and shopping on an incredibly twisted grand scale. “Be prepared, you poor unfortunate souls,” Josh teased. “It’s going to be a fearless new vision for what a Disney experience can be.”

Wait I’m out of the loop. The villains land was talked about and still planned??? I thought they were doing Cars Country instead

Did you hear the joker say that?

No one else did…

In fact…the only things proposed for Orlando that hinted at a spot was in DAK…

The ambiguity is suspect. There’s always “bad news” when they give up a nickel there

 

[brb1006]

Im not getting what I wanted. This just confirmed my worst fears.

What's wrong with Villains Land? That idea has been thought off decades now?

We’re getting a little out of hand with boat rides and trackless

Need to teach the doggies new tricks

Both. But Villains will likely be a phase 2 thing. But VL is as promised as promised can get with Disney parks. It was the very last thing presented.

Montstropolis he said early next year. Cars he said dirt was already moving. He didn't say anything for villains.

“Dirt is moving” to prep the MK expansion - there’s so many lack of details here that it’s hard to figure out what is happening.

If I wanted to be extra doom and gloom I’d say they are going to close a ton of stuff on say January 5th and part of these announcements are them making a huge operational budget cut.

Potentially all of Dino land which is 2 rides, small animal trail, restaurant, gift shop, and play area.

Potentially Tom Sawyer Island and Riverboat, along with the railroad (railroad would return after 1-2 years again?)

Studios has me the most confused - I’m not sure where monstropolis is going - so not sure what all would close for it.

That’s a lot to cut from operations.

They are doing both...villains was at the very end.
