…well they are chasing Comcast now

Did someone at Comcast say that recently?

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

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

no one said what they announce will suck... no one knows yet... I hope it's awesome. The parks need it... badly.

I just wait to see reality when something officially opens before I get too excited

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.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

The Vaughn comments were…interesting…

 

[FutureCEO]

A lot of people are really optimistic

 

[JD80]

Bruce Vaughn is certainly turbocharged. I'm here for it.

 

[Moth]

Fortnite leakers are now claiming Gargoyles, Sora and Darkwing Duck are coming to Fortnite and will be announced tomorrow.


Nobody tell them about D23 leaks.

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)

Not sure if this article was posted today:

Bob Iger previews D23, shares what's next for blockbuster movies 'Moana' and 'Inside Out'

Iger is headlining Disney's annual ultimate fan event in Anaheim, California.

That would be cool. We need to add to the mountain range after loosing Splash

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.

Rise of the Resistance is an amazing dark ride. Guardians is one of the most fun coasters on the planet. Pandora was very well done. Tiana is a good update of Splash.
Tron is a fun coaster.
Name another Disney decade with a better attraction lineup.

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

Oops, sorry about that.

 

[Vegas Disney Fan]

I was about to say that it doesn't matter what they announce as it will be followed by post after post saying nothing they announced will ever happen. But, I was beaten to it.

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

The first 6 years of the 2000's

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.
