Here’s a wild card:

What about the link between AKL and AK? Martin has said there are plans, and we have several pointers elsewhere. Too early for an announcement @marni1971?

I know with the Skyliner they waited until the permits were filed and “our guys” had figured it out before they officially announced them. But maybe they’ll surprise us this time.

Between resort and park? Nothing I know of.

I've seen Marni abbreviate something with the letters TLF a few times. What does that mean? The Laugh Floor?

The Laugh Floor. It’s more family friendly.

The Space Restaurant was one of several cryptic clues that Martin gave us. So although it wasn’t widely discussed elsewhere, it wasn’t a surprise to those who were following on this site!

Yeah, cryptic clues... that no one understood until the actual announcement (the Mickey ride was another). Maybe he'll do something similar this year as it gets closer. But I wouldn't say it wasn't a surprise.

Ummm, no! The majority were solved. The Space Restaurant was one of the first (and I should know ;)). And I think a train ride with Mickey was also worked out. Maybe you weren’t following the clues thread, they were referenced from several different threads IIRC.

Does anyone have a (reasonable, not armchair) wishlist? I'd be interested in hearing it.

MK - more details on the 50th celebration (Tron, parade, etc.)
Epcot - more details on Space restaurant, more details on GotG coaster, timeline for Rat open, MAYBE UK ride & country expansion
AK - not a lot (chester & hester replacement?, Pandora expansion (doubtful))
DHS - RotR update, MMRR update

Just my ideas on what is realistic. I would expect something surprising no one here is aware of (except maybe Martin).

The main reason Zootopia doesn’t belong in DAK, in my eyes, is because of the setting. It’s a giant metropolitan city. It would be so out of place with how lush every other land in the park, and go against the idea that most buildings in the park are to stay below the tree line. Add on top of that the lack of a conservation message and characters that are more like people than animals, and you have a very poor fit for DAK.

Sorry to get off-topic again, I just had to get that out.

Just to counterpoint a little, but in no way in a combative nature, but the rumors (which could be 100% false for all we know) suggest Rafiki's Planet Watch to be the site of a potential Zootopia area, so sightlines would not be an issue if you have a metropolis animal city that far removed from the rest of the park. But wo know how real or not real those rumors are.

(full disclosure, I really like Zootopia, but I'm not trying to ruffle feathers)

Only problem here is having a brand new popular land only being accessible by a small train would be an operational nightmare

But this is Disney soo...

Toy Story Land - One way in and out
Star Wars Land (DHS) - One way in (out thru TSL? Who knows)

They clearly don't think operations through too much

Trying to be realistic*
Epcot: Brazil announcement w/o attraction + Mary flat ride and more details on the spine
MK: Maybe nighttime parade and some announcement about plussing some classics
DHS: That blackbox attraction that can easily have theme (IP) swapped in 3-6 months... I wish indy or animation courtyard redo, but it sounds like that might be a few years off.
DAK: DAK has been pretty quiet news wise. I wouldn’t be surprised if nothing is announced, but I want to be hopeful so i will guess that the new, revamped version of the excavator coaster that was mentioned several months ago will be announced.
+ of course new info about already announced things

That's about what thought... for MK I would add though the extent to which TL is being redone. As well as possibly potential plussing of classics for the 50th. Epcot as with TL at MK will redo FW and I think that may be the major thing they put up. DAK is lucky if anything but Dinoland getting a makeover is the most likely in terms of big stuff.

I didn't think a out that black box ride, but that could be announced. RotR and MMRR will probably be there but idk if it'll be too much of an anouncement.
