Rumor D23 2024 WDW Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

[DCLcruiser]

What if the reason why it's not being live streamed is because something or SOMEONE is on the chopping block and they don't want the live reaction to it online? Hm....

Just turn off comments, or don't unveil THAT at D23.

As we won't be getting a 5th gate, anything less than an announcement of a significant expansion with multiple attractions (not spinners) on the scale of something like a villains land (just an example) with legitimate creativity, an expansion of galaxy's edge to the product we were promised, and something of merit for the WoL pavilion will be unacceptable.

 

[DisDude33]

They haven't started any form of land prep for Beyond Big Thunder, so honestly? I expect Courtyard development at HS before it.

I fear that you’re right and that bums me out because HS have gotten so much attention in recent years and MK needs it more.

But I do remember hearing something about some work permits being filed for water work or something along those lines. Does anyone know anything about that?

Bob Iger is going to be fired? Or are you talking about a purple dragon in Epcot (I highly doubt they would get rid of Figment I'm just guessing)

Seems to me that if this was going to be a WOW moment you would want as many eyes on this as possible, especially influencers like many in this forum. By not streaming, it sets an underwhelming tone for the reveal(s). Why wouldn't Disney want to choose a media vehicle that offers free advertising for their most ambitious projects. Hopefully this doesn't mean that Disney too feels like this D23 won't live up to expectations so they want to better control the narrative rather than offer a free stream. IDK, but this approach feels pretty mid.

You dont think that through bloggers, instagram feeds, x(twitter) posts, that WDW is going to get the sound bites and highlights that they want? And to a much broader audience than anyone who would be watching on a live stream? That’s to say nothing of the other media outlets (ESPN/abc) that Disney owns and can use to leverage any big new news they want to announce.

Again personally I would watch the live stream depending on work, but I am a Disney fan who spends time on message boards about Disney. Disney is much better served controlling the narrative to its mainstream audience, which has the added benifit of protecting ticket sales for the event itself.

This year we're getting bread* and circuses.

*Bread available for a very reasonable upcharge. Virtual queue for grain-based purchases opens at 7am, with bread-ing parties being called throughout the day. A limited number of deluxe butter packages will also be offered. Limit two per guest.

Oh god is figment on his way out?

 

[FigmentFan82]

Oh god is figment on his way out?

why would you speculate this? nothing leading up to this has given any indication Figment is in danger. in fact the opposite has been posted many many times, that Figment is safe.

 

[Sneaky]

I dunno, maybe execs demand it? I wouldn’t put it past Disney.

Probably not what Moth meant, but that's the danger of vagueness.

 

[FigmentFan82]

Probably not what Moth meant, but that's the danger of vagueness.

Unless I'm remembering wrong, Moth has said Figment is safe. We don't know what will become of the pavillion, but the dragon will remain is what has been said again and again. So, again, why wildly speculate Moth might have meant Figgy?

 

[FigmentFan82]

I dunno, maybe execs demand it? I wouldn’t put it past Disney.

But why? to what end? Whomever Moth was referring to, and it was all a vague comment to begin with, in no way seemed to indicate Figgy.

If it's not a Disney major Exec (which could have fans CHEERING ((an embarrassment for Disney)), then the next logical conclusion that could have fans seemingly upset / booing live is Figment.

Moth's comments didn't indicate ANYONE, so the jump to this conclusion isn't all that wild...

Or worst case scenario, a demonstration or walk out.

 

[Advisable Joseph]

It was probably just a wink, wink, nudge, nudge say no more joke gone awry.

 

[FigmentFan82]

Based on previous comments it does seem wild. But as we've come to know all too well, things can change at anytime, so...fret away

 

[The Chatbox Ghost]

Bob Iger is going to be fired?

I'm going to pretend that this would be the worst move ever so that way it becomes true

 

[BrianLo]

However, you won't be missing any new announcements. People will be posting to social media throughout the event.

If we don't talk about the 5th gate with a pinky promise, they'll give us more Portos. I, for one, will comply.

 

[The Chatbox Ghost]

Drew has blessed us with some good news- The Pirate Lounge isn't bluesky, it's happening!

Inside out made billions of dollars at box office. Idk I just feel like it’s not impossible
