Just based on past history, the “big model” at each D23 is for a project that will be opening around when the following D23 happens two years later. And it is normally for a project that was announced around two years prior. Carsland, Shanghai, Pandora, Star Wars. This is the pattern.

So, I suspect the Big Model this year to be the new Future World (along with its new name, maybe?) Another possibility would be Marvel Land at DCA, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s there at D23, but as a secondary smaller model (it is a smaller project than Epcot’s, after all).

Beyond that? Nada mas as far as models go. But we might get some announcements/concept art regarding things that will be finished in 3-4 years time. Those will most likely be things we’re already aware of because of these boards, but you never know about the dark horse that sneaks up from behind. <CoughPixarPierCough>

Agreed, there is no 'one project' in North America or even worldwide opening in 2021 that warrants an isolated display.

I'd love a round the world model lineup: Marvel Land DCA, Epcot entrance, HK's Castle, Zootopia and the B&TB model for Tokyo. They can showcase the Frozen model for HKDL too and WDSP can just sort of straddle DCA/HKDL.

I think there will be a lot of international stuff. However in terms of huge WDW anouncememts it's up in the air. FW like we've talked about, but everything points to them not stopping the updating so DHS and DAK must get something eventually... I would not count on it but would not be surprised if one or both had some news.

Yeah, Indy makes much more sense in Hollywood. They even already have an attraction that can be reused as part of the section (ala Toy Story Land). Why retheme a whole land when you have already some building blocks?

I never liked the idea of putting it in Animal Kingdom too. What would the Animal version even be themed after deadly animals and gross bugs?

I've seen suggestions range from Dinoland being converted to South America to just making it Indy VS Dinosaurs

Studios with Toy story land and now Star Wars G/E will not need any more help with attendance. Neither does MK. Animal Kingdom is the park that needs help, even after Pandora. The newest idea/concept they have had for AK sincePandora was rivers of light and that was a flop. Indiana jones themed land would help that park (AK).

Pretty sure that went silent. Indy would do better at DHS. There are ways you ciuld shoehorn Indy into DAK, but at that point, why even bother.

I have never liked that, however. Prehistory should in some major way stay with DAK. Replacing that theme with Indy would be a huge loss to me. But luckily from what I have heard here it seems that the dino theme shall stay.

Big focus on 4 things this year, Epcot, Galaxy Edge, Marvels Movie slate, and Disney Plus however there will be stuff for all the parks.

I think we will see a big EPCOT model of at least the Future World side and perhaps a smaller model of Brazil or at least Concept art. Likely the Mary Poppins attraction as well. More info on new shows and parades. This will then move into the Odyssey as a walk through. The walk through may include stuff from One Man's Dream.

Animal Kingdom will get shows and parades announced I think it's too soon to reveal other plans.

Magic Kingdom will highlight attraction enhancements, a possible rework or two and new shows, mostly pixie dust. Maybe return of the theater from last show.

Studios will be a big push for Galaxy Edge and Mickey's ride. They can't afford to miss the big opportunity to grow excitement. Don't expect much to be shown in this park because of this. They know they have a problem with capacity but they will do some very simple things with low cost entertainment to distract the crowd for a year or two while they prepare to change out shows and add a few more attraction.

Possible cruise ship and travel announcements along with DVC plans and Star Wars hotel.

More accurate list of opening dates.

Marvels slate of new movies. Disney wants this to be their version of the San Diego con and will use the show as such.

Big reveals and clips from Disney Plus. Maybe even a special advance order gift and discount for signing up.
More propaganda about how smooth the transition between Fox and Disney is going.

Is other shows, even parades in the works for AK???? Or are we just wishful thinking??

Maybe a big update for ROL if the public rejects ROL: WAO?
I liked it, but I know most of the bloggers don't, be interesting to see where the public sits on ROL:WAO.




Wrong Resort here, but I'd love to know a more firm date for HKDL's Castle/Castle Shows

Yep, that definitely is an option.

I'm just saying adding lands and rides may not be enough in 5 years. If Universal's getting people to book just Universal vacations.

I understand I would love to visit a new build Disney park to, but with Iger's/ Chapeks 2 rides is a land policy. We then get another heavily under build park, phase 2 rides are canceled and we have DHS, DCA, DAK, WDS, HKDL all over again. Plus they missed the ship, Star Wars should have been a separate park with like 15 rides. DHS infrastructure isn't

Star Wars should not be or have been the theme of the second park. Even Marvel would be a bettee idea and that shouldn't be it either.

You need a more massive appeal. Many people have not watched SW and do not care for the idea of the franchise.

But yes a 5th park in Orlando would be hell. They'd divert even less resources to what they have and equally few to what new they're building.

I agree about Star Wars, I think Disney messed up on both coasts.

It should have gotten it's own park in Florida and it should have at least went in the less popular one in California. Putting Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland park is like putting it in Magic Kingdom. It already is too crowded, what's it going to be after the opening?

I agree about Disneyland.

DHS is where it belongs at WDW though.

Agreed, but I do think the point that SW could use more than what it is getting is valid. A second land in DHS would make a lot of sense, especially if they set in in the time of the original trilogy to allow using different characters.

I agree with this... they need to EXPAND the parks they have now and not just replace attractions with different ones...ADD attractions...however the crowds are also getting bad so a 5th park (although not likely in my lifetime) at some point could help this.

The one thing I would LOVE LOVE LOVE them to make an official annoucement about is what they are going to do with the Imagination Pavilion. Ideally it would be to tell us Dreamfinder is coming back in an all new dark ride with Figment in tow, some Blue Sky concept art and to tell us that while it's not happening this year or next, that in a few years they will break ground on this long awaited refurb for like a 2025 opening or something thereabouts. I am patient. I can wait. Just please tell us you're doing right by the Dreamfinder and Figment and bringing them back together in a new and amazing way.

If we got an announcement like that, the rest could just be new coke bottle designs for all I care. 🤞🤞
