Jim Shull is the ultimate disinformation merchant so I wouldn't really listen to him. And yes I know he is an ex-Imagineer.

Even his 'factual' tweets are full of errors.

I love how he spreads 'rumors.'

Wait, Jim, you're an ex-Imagineer and you don't know?

Ok.

Wonder what the bus drivers are saying...

Hoping to get a release date for Lincoln, would be cool considering they've been working on it for a while now.

For something really unlikely and left field, would they look at the Main Street theatre idea again?

I still think there is a chance of something random and left field being announced not yet mentioned or hinted at here.

Imo if they wanted to do something a little cheaper than the constant Broadway level shows (which would be awesome either way) I could almost see them moving over One Man's Dream to Main Street in a theater/museum like building. So they can fully take the space of Animation Courtyard + One Man's Dream with whatever they're going to cook up for Hollywood Studios.

Honestly all this stuff about the Disney Destiny are announcements that I would expect from the parks panel.

Yeah definitely strange to be announcing it 9 days before D23. I’m hoping that means they talk about DCL less but probably not.

Maybe they really do have things this year

1. What IP would Everest even be rethemed too? Because there's not a single IP that would make sense/is popular enough to do so. Plus they are already doing Tropical Americas, a new nighttime show, maybe Zootopia replacement, and maybe a lion king show. I doubt they would have the energy or budget, especially for a ride that continues to post consistent wait times, not outdated or showing age, and popularity is still high.

I don't think this will happen....but if Everest was turned into an IP, I can only think of Frozen fitting. It doesn't fit DAK theming, but they could put Elsa's castle at the top of the mountain and then you would be chased by Marshmallow.

I'm still assuming they have a new class of ships to announce instead.

3-4 of them for 2029-2034 range.

Monsters, Inc. has a yeti.

The Disney Adventure is also, by far, their largest ship and they haven‘t said much about it. I imagine the DCL time will be spent primary on the Adventure with potentially a small amount of time announcing a new class.

My heart tells me they know Disney cruises are filler and this surprise announcement shortly before D23 means they have a serious amount of large announcements in store

My brain tells me they are making room for more entirely random musical performance filler no one cares about

 

[Gusey]

Can definitely see a World's Fair medley sung at the panel (Small world and CoP mashup)

 

[bmr1591]

I can only imagine a retheme of Everest to Ice Age would be most appropriate, if it were to happen. With that said, I don't see a world where they retheme Everest.

Exactly. My expectations couldn’t be any lower

He prefers to be called "Adorable Snowman"...

Everest is not getting an IP overlay.


Like. Come on. Use your head.

Anyone see the Aquamouse thing with the Villains and immediately think Villains land in Magic Kingdom?

No.

Yes, and I thought of as confirmation of villains land. (Even though it's not and probably means nothing in relation to villains land)
