Notice the “everything you heard about will be delivered in five years” was communicated on background, and not said on stage.
and Dreamflight...even though just within a building that was already there.Disney MGM Studios, Typhoon Lagoon, Pleasure Island, Grand Floridian, Wonders of Life, Norway, Splash Mountain (DL), Yacht Club, Beach Club, Port Orleans, Old Key West and more were all built at the same time.
Yeah he just seems like a merch placement. It’d be better if he had like a walk around or something but idk. He feels like a industry plant to me. And i know he has history in the past but still. Country bears and figment are the REAL wdw original characters to me.
Those were the days! I’ll add that all 5 of those resorts listed got boat / watercraft service. The Grand didn’t require much more than a dock but I’m pretty sure the others required some if not quite a bit of significant waterway construction?Disney MGM Studios, Typhoon Lagoon, Pleasure Island, Grand Floridian, Wonders of Life, Norway, Splash Mountain (DL), Yacht Club, Beach Club, Port Orleans, Old Key West and more were all built at the same time.

No, it was on stage too. I noted it while watching the recording the next morning. Not your exact words above, but very similar.Notice the “everything you heard about will be delivered in five years” was communicated on background, and not said on stage.
It won’t all be finished by 2029 and definitely not well before 2029. Villains isn’t even excepted to begin real construction until after cars land is built. That’ll likely put it 2030+. I’ll also be shocked if they complete cars, monsters, and dinoland replacement in 2 years and open in 2027 with their track record.Here is the announced timeline for WDW attractions to be completed:
2025 Sum – MK night time parade, Starlight2025 ???? – MK – Pirate’s Lounge2025 ???? EP – Test Track refresh reopens2025 ???? EP – SSE Lounge2025 Wint DAK – Zootopia in Tree of Life, “Better Zoogether”2026 ???? DHS – New story to Smugglers Run feat. Mando and Grogu2027 ???? – MK Cars mini land, 2 rides, / Start: early 2025 /2027 ???? DAK – Tropical Americas: Indy, Encanto, Carousel Start 2024
So, there are only three WDW new attractions that don't have a date. One of them is "underway" and the other two start next year.
???? ???? – MK Villains Land / Start Aug 2024 (“underway”) /???? ???? – MK DVC Lounge (former shooting range) / Start 2025 /???? ???? DHS – Monstropolis – hanging coaster / Start 2025 /
Unless Monstropolis take 4 years to build, and Villains, 5 years; everything mentioned above will be finished well before the five year mark of 2029.

I just went and re-watched the panel. At the end Josh D'Amaro says after recapping 'The New Lands, Attractions, Shows, Ships, and A Whole New Digital Universe'
"I can't wait for you to see these projects start to come to life over the next five years"
The ships won't be ready till 2031 but they are among the things starting to come to life over the next five years.
We’re talking about the announcements at D23. Not FantasylandWhere are you getting that from? There is no reason they need to wait until Cars is done before starting on Villains. And they even said at D23 that "work has already begun" on Villains (though who know what that really means).
The beauty of working on currently unbuilt and backstage land for Villains is they have a lot more flexibility in their construction timeline.

If villains opens in 2029 I’ll be in complete shock. Would like to see it happen, but I’ll be shocked (unless it’s scaled back and then rushed just to open something)I assume that is is meant as some sort of humor but they will be working on Villains at the same time as Cars.
If it breaks ground in 2026, 2028 should be doable but they like to work slow and the longer the time passes the more changes can be made to their original plan.If it breaks ground in 2026 ... 2029 doesn't seem crazy to me.

From an online source:There’s two different points here. When does Disney expect/plan to open Villains land vs when does it actually open. Right now, the intent and expectation from Disney is for it to open by 2029. Obviously things could happen that would delay that but it’s certainly reasonable they could open the land in that timeframe. It’s five years away.
