Nah…just figure it’s time to lay down with the dogs when you’re on the decline?

Announcements don’t matter…execution and timeframes do.
I will celebrate success in the latter two as much as anyone

Seeing the short parade for D23 day just reminded me how much the Disney Company is divided - a short parade with vintage vehicles, a live band, vintage characters, and true Disney Legends is the complete opposite of what corporate Disney seems to want or do.

When I’ve been there in person even Chapek made me a little optimistic! It’s a really fun experience and I’m sad I’m missing out this year when I didn’t end up working this weekend anyways.
Disney is in a strange place right now - as a fan, very little that modern Disney has done interests or impresses me with a few exceptions like Encanto. But I love the history of the company and it’s clear that some within imagineering and parks understand the nostalgia factor.
It’s a very strange time to be a Disney fan. Haha

Sorry if this has already been mentioned.
Part of me hopes (wishes) that if Villains & Moana were to come to Magic Kingdom then they would get their Attraction/Land naming as Fire Mountain (Moana) and Bald Mountain (Villains)

Moana in particular will likely be just one attraction, so I don’t know that it would make sense for it to be named as if it were a sub-land. They could resurrect it for the attraction name, but Moana is also more typically associated with water. For name changes, if they end up going the Fantasyland route of subdividing Frontierland into zones, I’d honestly love seeing everything along Rivers of America folded into one thing that encompasses Liberty Square (same boundaries), the River Delta (Country Bears, Tiana, Harpers Mill), and Thunder Mesa (Big Thunder Mountain, Coco).

Some other site is reporting that two secret rooms at D23 will open during the event featuring upcoming projects.
The 1980's. The 1990's. The first 6 years of the 2000's (because nothing was added after that until the 2010's).

That’s been discussed here. Bruce said that when he introduced the WDI pavilion

To be fair that’s Disneys own fault, they’ve created a fairly reliable pattern of announcing and then cancelling, or downsizing, half the projects they’ve announced over the last decade.
If someone consistently says they’ll do things, and then they don’t, it shouldn’t be surprising when people stop believing them. I’m excited to see what they announce but at the same time I’ll be shocked if half of it ever breaks ground.

Yeah, Bruce Vaughn's speech to media on Thursday confirmed 2 rooms will open on Sunday after Saturday's panel, likely showcasing some of the announcements. I know us DLP fans are also speculating that they may add the next land to the Disney Adventure World model on Sunday too as there is a lot of empty space

So Mission Space, PhilharMagic, soarin, Everest, Primevel Whirl, Triceratops Spin, Magic Carpets of Aladdin over…
Flight of Passage, Navi, Ratatouille, Cosmic Rewind, Journey of Water, Runaway Railway, Smugglers Run, Rise of the Resistance, Tiana, Tron, Alien Swirling Saucers, Slinky…
I just don’t see it.

again… outside of Covid related cuts and changes the vast majority of D23 announced projects have come to fruition.
And it’s not new for some things to get announced and never happen. Otherwise I’d be riding The Muppet Movie Ride before my LL for Dick Tracey’s Crime Stoppers, having dinner at David Copperfields Magic Underground and then heading back to Disney’s Eagle Pines Resort for a goodnight sleep. Maybe tomorrow I’ll go check out the new Soviet Union Pavillion at Epcot and visit Disney’s Buffalo Junction Resort.
