Rumor D23 2024 WDW Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

[Sneaky]

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, same could be said about star tours. Def feels more quaint, and nostalgic. I honestly now could see star tours and muppetvision having a healthy coexistence tbh.

lol they just revealed a new trailer for epic mickey at THQ, I would guess the gaming section is going to be very tame or just fortnite this year.

Josh playing Fortnite for 15 minutes CONFIRMED!!!

Instead of Moana, they are gonna go heavy with a new tailspin themed area in adventureworld.

Seeing a lot of Tweets about people one getting one panel reservation out of all the ones they tried for in the lottery. Good luck everyone with your panels.

 

[BrianLo]

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?

They always say it’s 90 minutes long every year, panic ensues and it usually runs longer than that anyways.

Run time has zero correlation to content. We’ve had 80 minutes of fluff before and 60 minutes of announcements In Other years.

They aren’t cutting a parks project because they want to have a musical segment for the in person audience…

In addition, this year there is a sheer dearth of under construction projects - which often take up the bulk of time filling in details. We very much could get a quicker hit situation this go around as most (almost all) of these things will not be open by next Anaheim D23.

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

Except it's broken up in 2 minute videos with 1:54 of confusing animation followed by a single piece of concept art for a lounge. It's been a really weird launch.

 

[RSoxNo1]

Everest is not getting an IP overlay.


Like. Come on. Use your head.

Some nondescript coaster themed around India or whatever*

 

[RSoxNo1]

The fact they're announcing new things for Cruises and Downtown Disney which would be saved for the D23 panel last few years gives me some hope of new and meaningful announcements. That more just random dance numbers we don't want.

They need to devote at least 45 minutes for temporary meet and greet announcements.

 

[TheDisneyParksfanC8]

Another factor I think we are overlooking is the economy. It’s definitely slowing down and I wouldn’t be surprised if that leads to projects getting cut.

Wonder what projects could get the ax if this unfortunately comes to pass.

I'm sure I can guess........

Wish they’d play the long game and double down on investments in the face of potential economic downturn.

They are in a long game. Multi-year construction projects and attractions that may run for 20-30 years.

you can bet DVC construction won't get the ax

A company like Disney should always be looking at the long term but actually just looks at the next quarter

Question: does TBA even get mentioned by Josh? Given its unpopularity with some segments of park guests, and it’s embarrassing performance that even its most ardent defenders acknowledge is a huge problem?

 

[Nottamus]

I’m going to aim low to not be disappointed

Epcot- 16 new trash cans doubling as table tops for festivals

HS- something new

MK - more guests

AK - Indiana Jones head popcorn bucket

Overall- a free shuttle to Epic starting in 2025 with the tagline “don’t tell them we sent you “


This way- I can be pleasantly surprised with news. Hopefully not like last time “this is what we COULD do”

My guess is it’s not mentioned at D23. The quarterly meeting, though? It gets trotted out as a “popular retheme” that’s helping attendance.

The DL version has to be mentioned as an upcoming addition.

Great point, I forgot it hasn’t opened there yet.

one week remains.
