The thing I'm mostly looking forward to now is Kevin Feige and Bob Iger being asked about Spider-man.

This is a pretty interesting week to be a Disney fan

The only one I know any details about are BTMRR, and that's that it includes new on-ride special effects. HM isn't going down long, so that leads me to believe it will be smaller. Once I hear either who heading up CoP or the budget, I'll know more... or if voice actors are involved.
As for D23, I'm not expecting to hear much about these yet. The focus is very purposefully on Epcot, and from a PR perspective, deviating to other future announcements dilutes the focus and steals from making future buzz.
Always important to keep harmony in your presentations.

Having just rode several times each...the quality of Disneyland’s space and big thunder over wdw is shocking.
They are such better rides. As are pirates and haunted mansion.
It’s actually sad. At least wdw has the better splash....I guess??
Hyperspace mountain is the best pure Star Wars fun ride they’ve ever built...because Isaac Newton has his say and it’s OT. Just some pure fun. Which is a bit of redemption for the akbar character - considering as well.

I doubt it. This management is way too “accounting” when it comes to parks. It makes the whole division stale and far less visionary.
I agree with the board that the con likely to be “DCL-centric”...which along with DVC (to a lesser degree) is a borderline sycophant market (over spending) nearly detached from reality at this point.

All of those except Pirates are subjective and some beg to differ.

Nearly everything is subjective...
However about 50% of people are still wrong on each discussion. The earth is also not flat
Do you go to Disneyland much?

“Harmony” must be the name of the new DCL ship. I know~ I’m a bit slow at times.

I get beat up over this every time I post it but I like WDW Small World much better. That and Splash are the only 2 though. DL Pirates, Thunder, and Space more than make up for it though
It actually doesn’t, but some are too thick to see that....
It's not like we haven't had previous, though- D23 2017 was far more exciting than how this one appears to be shaping up.
From that list, I'd guess we're going to hear that WDW is building a huge parking garage where the racetrack used to be, and turning the TTC parking lot into Disney's Florida Adventure...

I actually like DL small world...but it’s not as clear cut.
I for one like the IP dolls...I never saw the need for the “sanctity of repetitive singing dolls”
and the Wdw version is a tad long in my view

Fair...but I think both Star Wars and the 2017 slate was entirely a response to Comcast’s 10 year effort to revitalize their parks...and they conceded.
Not sure the variables are the same right now?
That was the name of the western town in The Prisoner series in which the main character was forced to become the sheriff...
Really?
Note that "One Little Spark" is all it takes to burn down a forest in California, too...

The last one was nothing but catch up from stagnation...even though there were victory laps and backslapping galore here and at Dis...
Ain’t that right, @Phicinfan ??
In retrospect...that stuff in 17 was what it was - makeup from flatfoot bob under real pressure from Comcast.
Remember: they don’t want to build you rides. Rides are losses.
They begrudgingly do it to get people to pay $149 for DAK after dark...that’s all.
What did I see today? People praising that for riding Everest 6 times and dinosaur 6 times?
Good grief...no words for that.
love to be remembered!!If I remember correctly, you clearly stated they would not do any of the adds, including GotG, Theater(which in your defense did get killed), Rat, Tron and a few others. And you took your punishment like a champ so Kudo's to you!!
I agree that before was make up, but not sure what may be announced for this one isn't even more of that. Even you have to admit that they were woefully lacking in developing the US parks. Finally "trying" to address Epcot, and an add at AK(still don't buy this by the by) and maybe an add to DHS or MK is just making up again for lost time.
My only question is how big any add will be. Are they really going to react to Universal officially announcing their 3rd gate in FL or not.
If anything, the competition's stronger now, given that Universal have announced a whole new park.
I don't think Disney need an answer to that right now, but what's being described is more than a little weak in comparison.
