Rumor D23 2024 WDW Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

Fortnite is advertising a separate scheduled event from the same arena at 8:30 / 11:30.

I don’t think that will actually be a seperate event. Just a replay of a portion of the experiences presentation

As a visually impaired person who has a cane (but really only uses it at Disney), he's holding it wrong!

He sure is!

It is not. It's the same event, just tape delayed.

It literally says "Live". (I'm not necessarily arguing with YOU, but if this is indeed the same event on delay then they need to collectively get their act together in the marketing departments of Disney and Epic Games).

I honestly feel like sooner or later, Tokyo’s gonna lose its “perfect everything no flaws” reputation with Disney parks fans from America.

Why? Tokyo is brilliant. Its latest addition "Fantasy Springs" is breathtaking. Compare that to Avatar and Galaxy's Edge. Both fall very, very short by comparison.

Anymore of those 'Beyond the stars' type 'we might build' nonsense from Josh, and you all need to walk out with a collective BOOOO.

Read the room.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Maybe if the entire world had actually SEEN Elemental in theaters

They did. Half a billion in Box Office.

It's advertised as live. I think games will be last and start around that time

 

[MisterPenguin]

What? Audiences have been migrating towards sequels and original IP’s since before the post Covid release strategy shift.

If audiences supported original films the same way they do sequels the studios would respond accordingly.

Indeed. Just look at what made Universal number one at the BO last year... Minions/Gru, Puss in Boots. And they're making Shrek 5.

"Cramming IP into parks" and "no original stories" isn't a Disney thing.

(BTW, there are original stories, but, they too often don't do well... so, back to the sequels!!)

 

[MisterPenguin]

Have you forgotten Monster Jam already?

I'm trying. Very hard. Trying.

I'm dead.

So will the entire presentation including park announcements not be live streamed?

 

[MouseEarsMom33]

I’m very impressed with the level of production they brought to the Honda center - I was expecting the same level of production just with more seating - but they took it up quite a few notches!

Watching clips that showed up online, it looked amazing. I'm not trying to complain about no live stream for parks panel right now (got that out of my system already ), but if tonight's is similar, it seems like Disney really lost out on a let's 'wow' our fans opportunity. The standing ovation for Iger alone last night would have been great PR to show live.

Games portion will be livestreamed on Fortnight.

 

[brussell623]

Games portion will be livestreamed on Fortnight.

So it is confirmed that nothing else will be live-streamed?

 

[peter11435]

So will the entire presentation including park announcements not be live streamed?

Only the games portion will be on fortnight

There is some big talent lined up to be part of the parks presentation, you can probably guess who.

Sonny Eclipse and the Swamp Boy Trio?

 

[todd23]

So it is confirmed that nothing else will be live-streamed?

I don't think so. I thought for sure we would be able to count on fans in the Honda Center streaming, but I was surprised there was no one who I could find streaming last night's event.

 

[MisterPenguin]

There is some big talent lined up to be part of the parks presentation, you can probably guess who.

The cast of Encanto, Coco, Moana, Frozen, Zootopia, and Lion King.

It'll be a world-wide celebration of animated musicals... but mostly Disney's.

And good ol' Harry.

 

[todd23]

There is some big talent lined up to be part of the parks presentation, you can probably guess who.

Big talent in terms of Imagineers? Or celebrities? Or both?

 

[OSUPhantom]

There is some big talent lined up to be part of the parks presentation, you can probably guess who.

Is it the CEO of Target?
