IF it's true that the only stream of the Parks panel will be for CM's, and IF they only release information through the DPB, that would be an attempt to control the narrative, would it not? And that would happen when there is reason to be concerned about reaction to the content, no? I admit I could be 1000% wrong about all that, but this is all striking me as some rather odd decision making.
Meanwhile, Universal waits in the wings... ready, willing, and able to usurp a lot of attention with an announcement around some little thing they are opening next year, if they so desire.
