Rumor D23 2024 WDW Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

[Coaster Lover]

It absolutely is smart to focus on Disneyland. Disneyland has always been the forgotten resort, and it’s starting to show in the parks. A lot of big stuff coming to Walt Disney World. We know that. They need to be putting the same amount of attention on Disneyland. If this is Disneyland time to shine, I’m all for it.

WDW has twice as many parks (three times as many if you count the water parks), WDW probably gets twice the total attendance, and has (I'd guess) 10 times as many hotel rooms to fill. If it was just about "equity" WDW should be seeing (at least) twice the number of major attraction announcements as DLR, but there's more to the decision of where to add new stuff than that...

If there was ever a Disney Television Animation show to get one, it would be P&F.

If they want to retheme Rock N' roller coaster to anything, make it Phineas and Ferb please!!

So are Kermit and Miss Piggy going to be life size this year?

 

[duncedoof]

Great moments with Mr Disney incoming!

I don't know what the consensus on this is here. But I really, really don't want this to happen.

It just feels weird, but maybe it could be done tastefully?

I’m not sure if they capacity limited this convention….

Tickets sold out crazy fast and early - and there was no way to actually transfer them after July 10 so I wonder if there are a decent number of no-shows? I would have been there if tickets had been available like they had been in the past - month or 2 out.

One of the best things would be to give faces to Frozen Ever After in Epcot!

 

[SweetDuffy101]

This is probably a wild take from me.
But i think we might see a worldwide celebration for Disneyland’s 70th birthday.

 

[BrianLo]

Is it though?

The conference is set adjacent to Disneyland…

But fear not. It will strongly still focus on WDW, as it always has and always will.

Lest we forget the last time we were expecting Tomorrowland and instead got the out of the blue beyond big thunder.

After Tiana’s bungled adventure who cares what they announce.

Those of us who don’t let a single ride dictate how we feel about an entire group of theme parks. If you’re not excited great, fine.

Now don’t make me separate you two damn kids…

I’m not saying anyone should get their hopes up too high for WDW, but its interesting how many of you don’t seem to know the meaning of the word “many.”

That fence post is gonna leave a mark if you stay on it more than a few minutes

With the current state of things, it feels like there is a lot more riding on the park announcements at this D23 than any other, as well as what is actually delivered (reality) from the announcements down the road.

I also hope they don’t plan to announce/do stupid things just for the sake of announcing/doing something

Reasonable based on the record of late. But try not to say it so “not magical like”, please?

Cosmic Rewind and Fantasy Springs are proof that WDI still knows exactly how to build rides when allowed to.

How about the others on the list? How many are bad? How many don’t work? How many already need to go?

You all must be so much fun in real life

I find it amusing that anyone is “insulted” for having the ability to separate immature wants from realities and try to keep things on even keel…

That’s not even remotely what I said

One of the extremely worth while attractions I listed was built in the swamps

And what else has been going on these last couple of decades?

would you like me to talk in rainbows and unicorns and say what they announce will all be fastracked and "turbocharged" to open soon and be everything and more we want....or do you want me to be real

Let me know when you lead Bob to his rainbow connection? Hopefully right after he’s ousted…

Being negative and pessimistic at every turn is not being “real”

No ones opinions affect events as they occurred or situations as they are

That’s just the thing, reality isn’t always positive. You are correct about that, but it’s not always negative either. And you ARE being pessimistic.

No ones opinions affect events as they occurred or situations as they are

Focusing on only the negative aspects of something is without a doubt negative and pessimistic.

We know things will take time and will be years away. It doesn’t really need to be stated constantly or be used to diminish the announcements and people’s excitement surrounding them.

So don’t state reality? That’s how we make things “less sad and stuff?”

You’re not raining on my parade at all lol. My expectations are solidly based in reality.

But you are being negative and pessimistic. You should at least be able to realize that. Even if their past projects have led you to that mindset… that’s still where you are.

Did Phil see his shadow or not?

Just ignore the broken records. It makes threads more enjoyable.

 

[Moth]

just read ab a monsters inc coaster at Hollywood studios replacing frozen ever after and just so happened to see a recent permit for the area, so throwing this out there if no one has yet

This would be left field, but I wouldn't be shocked if they finally decided to make the door coaster idea work finally. They can fund it thru Monsters University hat sales.

 

[Streetway]

hmm, so they’re open to reviving unbuilt dhs concepts? (/j, I know you know what is dead and is never coming back)

 

[Streetway]

Really though, are we sure dhs needs another coaster, and a potential one ride land rn?

 

[Chef idea Mickey`=]

Is it though?

Not for when it comes to Anniversary Celebration's like the 50th vs Disneyland. Magic Kingdom vs Disneyland Food. What we WDW would want is some stuff like Disneyland meanwhile, Disneyland folks wish to want get what we get.

 

[BaconPancakes]

Some of ya'll need to get outside to touch grass.

 

[Streetway]

Some of ya'll need to get outside to touch grass.

Yeah. If I’m dissapointed ay d23, it’s not like I’m gonna die. Sure it’ll suck but it won’t ruin my day.

Well you'll darn be wrong when Reflection's Lakeside Resort grows from the pits! 2025

 

[Mr. Sullivan]

Is it though?

Yes. Look at the amount of stuff that WDW has that DL doesn’t. I don’t even just mean attraction wise. They don’t even have up to date Magic Band capabilities yet.
