Rumor D23 2024 WDW Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

[HauntedPirate]

People may not be in love with the newer wish class but as a die hard theme park guy, DCL is a better product for us and will move to do more cruise trips

I'd even recommend checking out other cruise lines. The difference in quality and offerings between DCL and others has shrunk to the point where the DCL premium doesn't make sense anymore. Basically, Disney has fallen backwards in terms of service and others have stepped up their entertainment and service games. Granted, we're doing a Disney cruise next month but that's with friends, old and new, and the last one currently planned (although our daughter wants one more cruise before she turns 18 for the Edge experience). Other cruise lines are calling, and they are wanting our business instead of expecting it.

Chat, the panel is like an hour long, and they've now said both merchandise and gaming will be apart of it apparently.

How much of the "experiences" panel will be... parks?

Take it back

Whatever we get it better be impactful, fulfilling to fans, and numerous in quantity. Disney has to bring their a game in 8 days.

Did anyone else see the video of the Flying Hiccup Dragon Animatronic being tested last night over Epic Universe?? Absolutely insane!!! Universal is bringing it hard.

Timelines will be long, and if the economy, which has been slowly suffering for 2 years, goes further south, this will be Disney's response:

Take it back

Trust me, those are words I'd never thought I'd utter.

I thought it was an hour and a half?

 

[Moth]

I thought it was an hour and a half?

Is it? I heard hour, maybe I'm confused.

 

[Jedi14]

Parks probably has an hour of that.

On the schedule it’s listed as an hour and a half.

Alternatively, debt is about to get cheaper and could make it easier to finance projects

It won’t matter if the economy grinds to a halt. They can’t keep interests rates low for long (if at all) with $35 trillion in debt.

Hour and a half, and they've already confirmed that Fortnite is getting a mention (probably like the Target ad in the middle of 2019?). From the poster, it's safe to assume the panel will be majority parks related and split between all 6 resorts

YOUVE GOT A MINUTE AND A HALF

 

[Jedi14]

There’s games, products, parks, and musical numbers so I feel like the announcements will need to be rapid fire.

 

[Starship824]

They always go over the scheduled time anyway. I wouldn't be too worried about the runtime. I have my expectations low.

 

[Brer Oswald]

Nono. Gen Z does. We grew up on the absolute peak 2011 Muppets and Most Wanted, giving us connection to the characters. Just because the theaters aren’t full doesn't mean they’re empty. I never have to wait for the show, but the theater is never close to empty. It usually gets decently filled.

And besides, you need attractions that never have waits for capacity. I know that your excuse as to why your baby should’ve never closed is that it had long wait times, but I don’t wanna tackle that discussion.

What’s the staying power for these? I went to see Muppets for my 11th birthday and I recall enjoying it, but I haven’t thought much of it since.

Last D23 the parks panel was also supposed to be 1.5 hours, but I believe it went over and was nearly 2 hours long.

Man or Muppet alone is stupidly popular

A lot of queer Gen Z loves the Muppets, but they definitely don’t have mass appeal anymore. Man or Muppet seems to blow up on TikTok every few months at least, as well as Twitter posts inspiring people to recast movies with Muppets. Christmas Carol gets some love around the holidays. Muppet Babies was a modest success on Disney Jr a few years ago, but other than that they’ve struggled to find an audience outside of already established Muppet fans.

I don't really see the Muppets leaving anytime soon. They recently added new seats and projection mapping effects. Is it somewhat dated, yes. Will it eventually go away, probably. But I'd say it's several years out still.

You do need the high capacity, low wait attractions to balance all of the high demand, long wait ones, especially at Hollywood. There is not much available that does not typically have a lengthy wait. It needs more fill in attractions, not taking them away.

MuppetVision has become the modern Tiki Room or Lincoln show. As the world gets more and more high tech, it’s going to feel more and more quaint. And frankly the Studios needs all the nostalgia it can get these days.

Honestly that a good way to describe it. Hope it stays around for the long haul.

Im sure they will still have cast members performing fluff for the presentation
