God I'd love this. It would not fit with Kali's location At All in the park currently but, I really think there's potential for Apes in WDW.

The first “alternative world showcase” pavilion at Epcot?

I see no way this can make Epcot worse. Let's crowdfund this.

I'll join the fun. My guesses lean on Steve saying 2025 will be an entertainment-focused year.
I've also thrown in some wildcards. Those are items with my lowest expectation of happening; but would be very interesting/exciting/controversial if they do. I've tried to pull from what insiders here have said in the past.

W #1 would depend on how much they alter.
I’d be okay with most of this.
Gonna be honest: I don’t think Frozen Singalong is the problem in DHS. People tend to.. like it? Would love wildcard 2.
Does someone have Joe Rhode’s opinion on LK in DAK?
Things have been quiet about the lobby. Last I heard, the most recent work was in the club level lounge.

Not saying it’s a major problem, but it’s been there a while and utilizes a facility that is capable of a lot more than what it’s used for.
At the very least, it could be utilized for a different IP’s sing-along. Though my family and I wish they aimed higher than sing alongs with their entertainment offerings lol.
Prior to ITTBAB, an LK show was considered for AK opening day.
…it’s also already there as Festival of the Lion King. Whether you need that show and a ride is a bigger question in my mind than the IP itself.

AK really needs a Lion King attraction IMO.

What do we think the odds are that they announce that these are returning?

With all due respect, keep this and the IP as far away from Animal Kingdom as possible.

If Gustin's tweeting about it, it's more than a 0% chance. That guy is very tied in with WDW & strikes me as someone who's very calculated in what he editorializes about.

I guess I'll be giving another day to Universal in 2025.

Planet of the Apes, especially the newer films fit AK like a glove. Apes matches the three main themes AK. The intrinsic value of nature (Take a look at Kingdom, which just came out, to see this modelled). Psychological transformation through adventure (Dawn especially had this with both protagonists coming to understand a different culture through interaction and adventure). A personal call to action (every Apes movie is political or social commentary. Rise especially discusses the perils of animal lab testing.).
I get the immediate dislike of IP in the parks but it really does fit like a glove.

A Hagrid’s like coaster for Luca would be awesome.
A 4Town concert/show at the Canada Pavilion could work.

I thought this was basically gone forever because they can't do projections on the castle with the lights there? Or, can they just turn them off and project for the fireworks? I've never seen them in person and would LOVE to.

It's been hinted by those in the know that they *could* return.
