Rumor D23 2024 WDW Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

[MagicEye99]

Let’s assume that’s true. So let’s take a look

DAK: removing 3 attractions primeval (done), dinosaur, spinner for likely only 2 rides
DHS: removing 2 attractions

This is not what I call expansion of any kind

It's more timeless, more relevant, and more Disney

It’s definitely the new Di$ney.

More is inaccurate

Rides that will be more visited with greater guest throughput plus animal encounters as an additional attraction.
DHS, yeah who knows!? I don't think the park is being featured this D23. Bluesky.

 

[James Alucobond]

Maybe it's just me, but Cars is also one of the least appealing IPs Disney has insisted on shoving down our throats. Maybe they'll invite John Lasseter back for the dedication as the film was really his passion project?

I think Zootopia is actually worse because it never blends well with anything.

Mickey Views said there’s a third attraction in DAK(concept art shows it). According to him it’s a carousel.

We knew it was a carousel but conflicting reports on theme. Some say Coco and others random IP animals themed. With Coco likely gone from MK I’m saying coco carousel for tropical Americas.

Right!? Which means it'll either be shoved in the tree or given a fully-fledged standalone land. Take your poison?

 

[Lilofan]

There isn’t a villains land planned at DHS as far as I know, but there is talk of something related, but not in a large scale.

The Fantasmic theatre areas is completely under utilized during the day. Perhaps get rid of that show and put Villians there.

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

I was placing my chips on Coco for sure - it’s the 8th highest grossing Pixar movie (Rat is 12 by comparison), it’s not well represented in the parks, and it checks off the cultural inclusion box while also fitting well as an addition to the big thunder area of the park.

Money wise - Moana makes the most sense if they are doing encanto in DAK. Moana is crazy popular and Moana 2 is going to do great.

We don’t know yet so there is still hope!

Tree is best because it's at least out of sight. The architecture of Zootopia is too distinct to ever convert into anything else. By contrast, a show is more easily swapped out, plus there is a way to make Zootopia at least sort of work in the Tree of Life even if the chances of them going that route are slim.

 

[Ichabod Crane]

The MK project seems to be going in a different direction than most of us thought

I tried warning everyone about Coco in BBT awhile back (and Cars)…..

 

[JenniferS]

That mickey views guy seems like kind of person Disney would leak fake info to just to make him look like a fool. That is if he actually has sources at all.

I do not get all the Brayden hate here. He's had correct scoops in the past.

It's crazy to think that the two biggest shoo-ins might be shunned. Coco especially. At least Moana somewhat has an attraction.

DHS, yeah who knows!? I don't think the park is being featured this D23. Bluesky.

So imagine if they built net new attractions with additional guest throughput with the other attractions there which have additional capacity and throughput? MPLL selections and value would be better too.

expanding with net new things is so hard for Disney to do now because it costs them more staff and maintenance…they don’t care that the guest experience would be better…its all about the money. Plus the more need for LL’s, the more they likely sell. They can’t build too much now because it benefits us more than them

So long as he is wrong about Muppetvision this time

 

[gerarar]

HEA return was actually announced at Anaheim but I see what you mean. The crowd will go wild for Murphy's return.

Oh shoot it was!

Dang, really shows my lack of memory lol. I remember it being in a small convention room, so thought it was Orlando.

 

[ednamodedarling]

The Fantasmic theatre areas is completely under utilized during the day. Perhaps get rid of that show and put Villians there.

This would be the worst possible decision. However a daytime show for that area would be so very "fantasmic"

 

[Nland316]

I don’t have consistent sources by any means.. but somebody (who would know) recently warned me about Cars..

Didn’t really get any details beyond that.

 

[KingMickey13]

Honestly I’ll be upset if they add cars to Frontierland. I say this as someone who usually likes whatever (like Tiana).

 

[KingMickey13]

I’ve met Brayden, he’s a really nice guy, but I really hope he’s wrong about this and this is just pre-panel hysteria.
