*Cough* Mr Toad *Cough*

You won't make a dent if you have no hope or do not possess the urge to speak. If anything, that attitude gives the company a pass to get away with letting a Great Ride dwindle and just scrapping it without trying to save it. At least speak up and hold them to that mistake. Most everyone remembers Mr Toad as a huge loss.

They should do more than fix it, they should plus the heck out of it. Make it as great as the Tower of Terror. Since DCA seems to be abandoning its Hollywood-That-Never-Was-But-Always-Will-Be aspect, WDW should adopt it with a vengeance and thus offer something DCA doesn't have and give people a reason to choose DHS' Hollywood over Universal's Hollywood. DHS should OWN the Old Hollywood theme, not diminish it. DHS used to be my favorite WDW park because of its Old Hollywood theme. The more it discards it, the less interested in the park I become. And I don't think I'm in the minority here.

That's what I meant by fixing

Clearly Zootopia belongs in Future World.

My apologies if this information is somewhere earlier in the threads (and please feel free to link to it), but is it possible to watch any of the panels/announcements online either live or shortly thereafter?

I remember seeing a live stream for parks and resorts from a website linked by a random WDW Magic user.

Nothing official has been announced yet, but that may change.

You can stay tuned to the front page of WDWMAGIC for updates however. We will be posting the announcements as they happen.

For those that have been to past D23's, do you think I'd be able to make the 10:30-12:30 movie panel and then run over to get in line for the 3:00-4:30 Parks panel?

And yes, I do plan to spend most of the day in a line or presentation lol

I did the 2011 expo and was able to do the Disney Legends and the Movie panel...I was hoping to get to the parks panel but, it was completely blocked solid...

An update from USA Today. Although it's a bit painful to listen to the "official" D23 spokesman, Jeffrey Epstein, as he mis-pronounces Pirates of the Caribbean and generally comes off sounding like a scripted corporate shill.

Well, D23 has certainly gotten a bit more intriguing in the past 24 hours. In particular, I like this nugget...

I know of 12 WDW specific announcements. Which ones make it to the day is anyone's guess.

If we get that many announcements will it satisfy people or will folks still ask on Monday... What else is next?

Depends on how many of those annonecements are actually interesting.

It's about time they announce the Now You See Him, Now You Don't overlay of Test Track.

In 2015 there was no problem going to both of the Saturday presentations. Even had time for a bit of lunch in between (hope the food trucks are out there again in the plaza this year, that was a welcome addition). Yep, a good deal of line time, but usually worth it (at least for me). Thinking of joining the movie line around 5:30am, though. I sense there will be a lot of overnighters in that line.

Question is how many of those announcements do we already know about? The parks and resorts presentation will probably be underwhelming... but we can always hope for some surprises.

Martin said possibly 12 announcements.

Hope one is the SW hotel!

The site that shall not be named has an article posted saying that it's CONFIRMED that the Tron Coaster will be replacing the Speedway in MK. The trustworthiness of that site is always questionable, but I'm surprised that no one here has even mentioned it as a possibility for a D23 "announcement"...

Except @marni1971 says it won't replace but be near the Speedway.
