The very end of the presentation
"Just look around you at everything we have shared. As I mentioned at the top, I am so excited for everything we are doing. I can't wait for you to see these projects start to come to life over the next five years."
We can definitely parse words. But, Josh is not Chapek, he chooses his words quite clearly. He even corrected Scott Trowbridge at one point who very innocently said 'may' with "no, we 'are' doing these things".
Though I would also say end of 2029 into early 2030 counts as five years.
Is this the presentation that included the ships? Tokyo's ship is 2029, that's five years.
If they're moving dirt now, as Josh said, Villains should be one of the first mini-lands done.

Oh, you think it will be on a faster timeline than 2029?
But yes, notably the ships extend to 2031. Though I feel like that’s understood empirically, since that was dated. Everything else struck me as within 5 years from his comment.
But Cars and TA were specifically mentioned to be done in 2027.

Sorry… I’m actually lost on what your position is? What are we talking about?
I’m saying I think all the major parks projects should be done within five years. I think I misinterpreted what you were arguing.
I don’t remember a date on cars, did that happen after the fact?
My read on the date menagerie is that Tropical Americas was called out specifically because it was first. Coco was called out because it was starting up later than everything else.

I'm sure it will do just fine. Now with 3 parks and a water park it makes them 3-4 day visit.

Bring him back!!!!!!!!!!
I’m sure it’ll do fine, but is fine good enough? We don’t know how much it cost, but it likely cost a ton. It’s going to need a lot of consistent success if we’re hoping for future expansions at Universal.
Here's all the dates mentioned in Disney's online materials. I was asking where a 2029 date showed up for Villains. Some part of it already "underway."

Come to life in 5 years doesn’t mean open in 5 years. It means legit construction is taking place and over 5 years projects are planned to open and continue to be constructed.
That’s my understanding.
Villians is early on - they couldn’t start building today if they had flat land and wanted to. “Earth is moving” yeah they are prepping for work around MK that will allow for lots of construction that will prep the land to build a villains land on top.

Because this is how WDW handles popular IP. The mistreatment for such a huge franchise should have been obvious, and I raised the point about Frozen needed to be a bigger scale, if they really wanted to move the attendance needle of the park it was in, but many people latched onto the "but no one rode Maelstrom," narrative to counter criticism about Frozen going in that space. Same as what is happening with these projects.

At least DLR has the chance to get a proper frozen land.

He is one of the stable of Festival mascots. Along with Figment, Mickey & Minnie, Spike the Bee, Remy and more recently Encanto. Plus, some occasional references to Adventureland.

Ah! Deductive reasoning. Underway means the lay down yards and site prep, that was a clearly crafted fib.
ROA doesn’t actually close until next year, seemingly. Cars will be an approximately 3 year project and we’re at best looking at early 2028 there. Villains land will come in the second phase.
None of this is official, but I certainly wouldn’t conclude Villainsland is imminent, based on everything we know. It doesn’t make sense from a marketing perspective to go faster than sequentially opening the six major rides two at a time.

Is there a reason why Disney construction takes as long as it does? I’ve seen giant Manhattan skyscrapers with over 400 units be built within a span of 3 years.
I know Florida weather is more dodgy but it doesn’t really compute why a multi billion dollar company like Disney has issues with expedited construction.

They slow roll it…period
You’ll get a million excuses…but the reality is if it takes double to build now with superior technology what it took them to build 40 years ago…that’s a matter of choice, tactics, mismanagement…or likely all 3
