The monorail is an iconic attraction. It was once an E-Ticket ride. It most certainly counts as a ride of the park!!!
So, then that means WDW can count the Skyliner and all the Ferry boats as rides in the DLR v. WDW ride count?
The monorail is just transportation.

All I will say is that for a long time the Disney Channel and Resort's commercial shows would highlight that the "fastest attraction at WDW was...the Monorail @ 40 MPH!" I get that it's transportation, but it's more of an immersive experience than the buses.The monorail is an iconic attraction. It was once an E-Ticket ride.

Hey, where's the poster you mentioned Brayden was on? Could you find it and post it on here? And the tweet about Disney having big secrets about Universal?

Few guesses...Disney+/Hulu Live to replace DirecTV in hotels/resorts.
Paid Security clearance (ala TSA precheck)
As others have said, a VR type experience
or something transportation related, such as new monorails.

Iger said no VR in park attractions.

Was thinking more along the lines of a strategic partnership with The Void
That already exists. They have Disney IP scenarios and are doing it Disney Springs.
But Iger has made it clear that VR won't be in the parks as an attraction.

It's amazing Disney and Universal's announcements are so well-kept secret they might even be connected to one another. Their announcements on the same day really is an odd move. I wonder what it could really be.

Universal's new park was the worst-kept secret in the theme park industry for over a year before it was announced, and they gave the public (and therefore Disney) almost a week's warning of the press conference date before they officially announced it. It's not like Disney had no idea this was going to happen last Thursday.

Partnership? Disney owns I believe 50% of The Void. It started in their incubator and they invested in it in 2017.

A year? They bought the land way back in 2015. Its been almost 5 years since people have 'known' they wanted to build a park there.

True. I was starting the clock from April 2018 when Universal's actual plans for that land started leaking.
And the only reason for the very vague announcement was that the next set of permits was going to reveal the name of the park and so they got ahead of that and made it into a media event which revealed nothing new (most people new the lands from leaks) except the name.
And I don't blame Uni for the event, but, that means the timing of the announcement had nothing to do with what Disney was doing.

This might be a dumb question since I'm on the Florida side of these boards... but is anyone actually going to the Expo??
