News D23 Expo 2017

[Princess Leia]

Sorry Leia! Any way you can come sooner?

I wish

Real Quick @marni1971 so a few things that were discussed as possibilities for the parks over the past few months weren't really discussed at D23; have you heard of anything hitting the chopping block recently?

Chopping block as not happening? No. Schedules may have slipped here and there but not cut.

 

[JimW]

Am I the only one who was like "duh, @marni1971 already told us this" during most of the presentation?

Cheers, Martin!

 

[Princess Leia]

Same. I'm now actually considering a quick unplanned trip in early August to ride that and Ellen one last time...

I really hope you can do that. It just isn't feasible for me

The 2017 Disney Channel version of Mickey???? Are they out of their minds? 99% of Disney fans don't watch the new cartoons and if they've seen it they avoid them at all costs.

I'm shocked and would have booed had I been in the hall.

Love the idea hate the character design.

You mean 2013 Disney Channel version.

New China film! (did we know this?)

Unless they add chairs I don't care.

So **GE was Galaxy's Edge. Looks as if we still gotta wait for the rest.

Yeah, this was me through the whole thing basically - although the Pixar fireworks were a surprise.

 

[Brer Oswald]

What was Martin's hint?

My thoughts exactly

 

[bclane]

Earth orbit as opposed to Mars. Less intense ride makes sense for more of a sightseeing trip than a mission.

Thanks! And the orange mission basically stays the same just with upgraded screens right or is there more to that?

 

[jpeden]

It is an ironic location. The interior looks fabulous though. As does the way you'll get into it if they don't cut it.

I'm assuming some sort of air lock system or something of the like?

 

[DisneyJayL]

I'm satisfied.

I'm hungry, 220 was Space Restaurant.

That an announcement was pulled. It seems to be Brazil.

So I know most people here will be bouncing off the walls about something. Me...I just feel left behind. With the rest of the old WED crew. Not that I didn't know that already. This feels like cotton candy fluff. Lacking depth, texture and that sense of wondrous satisfaction that comes with reading a really good book, or watching a really good movie, or eating a well-crafted, well-presented five course meal. I always worried about the day when Disney would no longer mean Adventureland, Frontierland and Tomorrowland without IPs, and this was just more nails in the coffin that that day passed a long time ago.

I do like the concept art for the Space restaurant. But any pleasure is wiped away by knowing that reservations will be gone by the time I know when I'm coming, therefore the price must be raised sky high. I haven't been around much in the last year, but figured I better pop in to see what is up. I think I'll go back to pricing out a Hong Kong vacation (Our 20th anniversary is next year, and the traditional gift is China...so I thought it was a cute variation...without needing the visa to go to Shanghai). Mystic Manor is really good, right?

No it was the 220 one, I remember! Thanks!

 

[Disneyfan1981]

Pixar Pier? Really? Wow. Even Disney doesn't care about DCA.

Given how far DCA has come since it opened, I'm over the moon with anything. Especially knowing we're getting a Marvel infusion sooner than later and Paradise Pier hasn't had a lot of love to it for a bit, buildings looking faded and the whole place a little out of sorts, at least it will tie together better with TSMM and feel like a "land" to itself.

And WC.

Wow, what a first D23 for me. Mark Hamill and a great Parks panel. To top it off I have the option of doing Fantasmic! tomorrow which I needed as we're not doing Disneyland today.

Woohoo!!!
