Rumor D23 2024 WDW Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

[Big_Shakalaka]

Two attractions I guess is the standard for a land these days, but "Villains" deserves more. Maybe with enough filler shops, dining, etc it'll be alright but I'm not really sold on another coaster.

I'm sure they'll leave room for future expansion.

He said all of the stuff coming within the next 5 years…. does that mean all of this will be done by 2030? I’d be surprised

Half of it will never be built.

 

[HMF]

They really leaving DL Tomorrowland to rot

Once again it does not promote IP and that's all that matters to them.

I might be the only person who doesn’t care a bit about Villains Land.
What I do care about is if Muppets is leaving and the probable demise of Rivers of America. Boooo.

The important things are timelines and replacements?

I said this upthread yesterday.

They put on a good show…but nothing said prohibits that this is less than genuine.

 

[Sir_Cliff]

I feel less enthused about the announcements tonight than most.

For one thing, they were so vague on details. That goes for Villainsland especially, but also where the hell additions like the Cars area of Frontierland and Monstropolis are going. My suspicion is that they didn't want to say because those two things involve some unpopular replacements.

I'm also not down for Cars in Frontierland. If anything, the fact that Josh D'Amaro framed the new addition as part of Frontierland and part of a re-thinking of Frontierland makes me think they're going to screw it up and basically theme it to a contemporary Western tourist town.

The Paris Lion King ride looks like another mistake heaped upon an entirely mistaken re-launch of that park.

The Disneyland additions, though, all seemed good to me.

This was so funny

Heads up, this stuff will not be opening within 5 years lol. With how WDW builds?? Tropical Americas might hit 2030 at the LEAST.

Hey @peter11435 this held up well

 

[the_rich]

I mean it's all already started or starting next year.

Half of it will never be built.

 

[DisneyFanatic12]

Super fun stream to watch, although I only caught the ending portion fully. Amazing overall, got a lot more announced than I thought! Super duper happy!

I don't care that much about it either, especially if one of the major attractions is going to be an outdoor coaster without much theming/story (if the concept art is accurate).

But expansions are a good thing.

Didn’t Josh say that all of Tropical Americas would be finished by 2027?

 

[Tha Realest]

I feel like the villains castle will be a force perspective miniature thing like the Beast’s castle

You think they announced 2027 without the intention of speeding it up and getting it done?

 

[necott99]

I’m at Epcot and a very dark storm cloud is moving in. I feel the symbolism.

This ended up coming to fruition, huh?

 

[Moth]

I'd be genuinely shocked if that happens. Unless they're rolling crew out within the next few weeks I'll have a hard time seeing it right now.

 

[Andrew C]

Halloween parties in villain land…

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Half of it will never be built.

And that’s where they have eroded their own trust.

Management…this management…did that. Facts.

So I’ll sign up to celebrate accomplishments in parks. Right now…in blood.

But it will not be considered fait accompli…

 

[Coaster Lover]

This was so funny

Got quite the reaction from the crowd too!

 

[Moth]

The worst thing about EPCOT was the inaction more than anything.
