Out of all the IP stuff, the villains land or “shadow lands” has always been the most requested since the late 90s. Literally every Gen X, Millenial, and Gen Z fan has fantasized about “evil fantasyland”. Which is why it got the most cheers of the night.

The Marketing department at least was well aware of it even when Michael Eisner was CEO which is why the villains had merchandising together years before Disney allowed the princesses to be grouped together and they formed the backbone of the Mickey not so scary Halloween. It was originally going to go in the back of fantasyland with the main e-ticket replacing 20k subs. You would travel through bald mountain and because it was conceptulizdd in the late 90s the ride was really dark and edgy with several versions ending with the guests “dying” and either ending up in Hell with Hades and his minions lording over or witnessing Chernobug ending the world. It sounded really awesome.

The coaster in the concept art seems like it’s the coaster from Beastly Kingdom repurposed and instead of an original dragon it’s going to be about the maleficient dragon chasing you?

At the moment, a 5th park isn’t what WDW needs. The existing four need capacity.

They’ll have to remove capacity to add capacity, using existing parks. Disneyland has to do it because they’re landlocked, but there is room for 3 or 4 more parks at WDW. The sole purpose of having all of the land at WDW is so that they can keep building without having to remove things to do it. Removing Tom Sawyer Island, the Riverboat and the Rivers of America to build a Cars attraction is not adhering to Walt’s plan for WDW.

There’s literallly just no pleasing some people.

MK Night Parade

VILLAINS LAND AT MK as Phase II. The fact we’re even getting just 1 phase is a big deal.

Monsters Inc. Lans with the DOOR COASTER.

Avatar Land (not even a clone).

Coco Boat Ride.

Avengers E-ticket + small scaled ride for capacity.

Cars Land (not even a clone).

Indiana Jones Adventure & an Encanto Ride becoming part of a new actually thematically-integrated land (replacing Disney’s worst).

And that’s just at the American Parks.

100% expect additional announcement at future D23s/over the years relating to things such as Inside Out, Lion King, Moana, Frozen, and more.

Eventually, reality will catch up to you,

Things have changed at the company. The future is bright.

Not a single trackless ride. Real theme park rides are back, baby.

Could possibly the Encanto ride be trackless? There was handmade furniture eluded to in the presentation and the concept art ride vehicles aren’t very revealing. It was my daughters thought that maybe you’ll ride on this furniture and if you do, it might be trackless.

Has Iger always watched in person? Could this event sway him to pick Josh as the next CEO or ya think he will keep him in the same position?

‘this is he first time I’ve seen him sitting as a guest at the parks presentation. Probably trying to get a reading on how announcements are faring with the audience. Remember it was just reported a few weeks ago that Disney parks revenue has plummeted and the past few years the parks have been getting a lot of negative press over crowds, lack of capacity, price, and lack of quality.

What is this Broadway!?!

Broadway is a very special place, filled with very special people, people who can sing and dance, often at the same time! They are a different people, a multi-talented people, a people...who need people...and who are, in many ways, the luckiest people in...the world.

If you get the reference you get a cookie (N.B. Cookie will be a figment of your imagination)

BBT and Tropical Americas have been confirmed by D'Amaro to be talked about (only other things he confirmed are another Blue Sky segment and Video Games to be talked about).

(Emphasis mine)

I take it that the bolded part didn't happen, other than Fortnite?

There did seem to be major changes.

There was mention of them going up and down floors in the house. So there's some element of verticality.
