Exactly. People love to say “this person was wrong” when in reality Disney just shifted gears. If someone had said “they’re gonna make a Mary Poppins area at Epcot” and Disney hadn’t announced it, people would call them a liar even though reality is that Disney cancelled it quietly
Yes it get every messy, because things do frequently change. One of the biggest had to be the complete shift of Galaxy's Edge from Echo Lake to Backlot.

I think the community needs to realize this happens- no announcement is 100% set in stone. No rumor is a proven lie if it never happens (see: concept art for Moana Tiki Room surfacing after the rumor was claimed “a lie” and the project was internally cancelled)

Wouldn’t be shocked if the Woodys Round Up replacement for CBJ is whatever this Woody show is for BBT, if that rumor is true.

The fact that you said they don’t need more is baffling to me.

They could make changes to the existing rides to be more “new and improved”…what Disney needs however is net NEW attractions and people eater queue lines. The park experience would be better for everyone, with more to do, and LLs wouod be easier used as well.
I just don't see them expanding beyond "enough to do to fill a week."

They don't gain guest satisfaction (or profit) by making too much to do where families can't get to everything.

This would be the worst possible decision. However a daytime show for that area would be so very "fantasmic" ;)
It is amazing Fantasmic has been performed for years and that huge area is dark during the day. This is certainly an area that could generate more revenue if something happened during the day.

Oh thank GOD. I’m happy if it stays. Tbh I’d be fine with star tours. Not that I hate it, but you know how sometimes it’s just “time” for something, yknow? I respect star tours and what it did for theme parks.
I would be very surprised to see Muppets go. It has high GSR ratings, high capacity, is in good condition, and low running costs.

So if the company's movie announcements are anything to go by- how positive are we feeling about the parks? Seems like Disney is "turbocharging" sequels and spin-offs and "live action" remakes and just doing literally anything but make more than one new idea every year. Any chance the parks announcements could be positive and refreshing at this point, or are we likely just going to get "this IP goes here" and "this IP goes there"?

If memory serves, I think Imagineering pitched a Woody coaster at one point as well. I wonder if they've dusted off those plans.

We'll see, but this thread really took a turn in the past hour or so that really diminishes my interest in the panel!

My gut is saying the latter. There is an entertainment-based IP mandate from upper management, and until there are changes in that realm, I expect nothing different.

No, it's not just you.

While Cars Land is one of Disney's best theme park experiences, Cars is easily Pixar's worst franchise.

Children under a certain age adore it, though.
Both can be true at the same time. Cars, Tron, Avatar, [Song of the South] all make excellent theme park attractions no matter what you think about the respective movies.
