D23 Expo 2015

[Chef Kronk]

MY PRAYING WORKED!!!!

 

[Pick145]

I was told it was gonna be big, but this is huge! Hoping this rivals Potter

 

[LuckyOswald]

Not sure if I am more excited about the Star wars stuff or that they are actually upgrading HS!!!!

Either way, it's a fantasmic day.

As someone who just got back from WDW and spending barely half a day at HS, I'm having this dilemma as well.

 

[LudwigVonDrake]

I'm assuming since it's so big that it's going where the backlot tour was?? Or does this mean The Muppets movie and Streets of America are toast?

I think we officially need a LOVE button please.... I am beyond excited for this. The art looks so amazing and detailed... I can not wait!!!

 

[captainmoch]

Awesome, iconic movie franchise that everybody loves? Check.

Extreme, Diagon Alley levels of immersion confirmed from the get-go? Check.

The size and scope of Cars Land, but even a bit bigger? Check.

Actual confirmation of attractions meaning we're not gonna have to wait seven years like Avatar? Check.

SIGN. ME. UP.

It has to be on the same scale or better!

14 acre land !

...and the internet melts in its wake

I think the goal at this point is to blow Potter out of the water. I don't think all of HP in both parks even comes close to 14 acres.

Adios Lights! Motors! Action!

 

[LieutLaww]

that is going to be a huuuuuge land ! I am so freaking excited right now

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

And just then....A faint scream can be heard from Universal.....

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Adios Lights! Motors! Action!

Can't say I'll miss it.

 

[DinoInstitute]

Ahh this is awesome!
I have two questions, maybe someone can answer... Do we know (yet that is... Like said more details later) whether or not it is the same land coming to each park, or varied slightly? Not that I'm complaining at all, just curious.

Also, just how big is 14 acres in relation to the rest of the park?

 

[flynnibus]

I gotta say this... We can debate the eternal WDW vs. Disneyland issues until the cows come home. But one thing Disneyland generally does very well is pick official Disneyland Ambassadors every year from the Anaheim Cast Members. The two Ambassadors covering D23 are perfect examples of that. Disneyland generally gets these very attractive, perky, fun yet gracious young ladies to be their Ambassadors. Whoever is on the judges panel in Anaheim knows what they are doing.

The sad part is you can find people like the one girl who will still work for peanuts as she tries to get established.

 

[Chef Kronk]

I'm glad that Disney finally came through for its guests. This is a huge announcement, and I'm beyond excited!!!!

 

[LudwigVonDrake]

As the old saying goes, "The devil is in the details" so let's see what they say at 6:00.

 

[flynnibus]

And the doom and gloomers all crawl back into their holes because as usual they are shown they were wrong about "nothing is coming"

And who said StarWars wouldn't come?

Wait till they get to the dates... and you might have to do some crawling of your own.

The fact that they dropped the Star Wars Land bomb not even in the Parks and Resorts panel can mean two things: Either
1) The Parks and Resorts panel will be huge, and announce several more bombshells for every resort.
OR
2) The Parks and Resorts panel will be a bit disappointment since it used it's Star Wars Land bombshell at a different panel.
I'm definately hoping for the first.
