The combining of the studio panels was interesting to me. Shows that animation is less important to them I think. Note Disney+ also gets its own panel.

Both Animation and Live Action were 2 hour presentations in 2017. There was also a controversy were several people that expected to get into Animation didn't get in.
While I could see that presentation going 3 hours, I'm guessing they won't do a full Phase 4 Marvel announcement there. They may do that a month earlier at Comic Con.
Usually the live action slate has an hour or so taken up by some of the lesser known (and often less successful) projects like Nutcracker and A Wrinkle in Time.
The live action movies we know about are as follows:
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (probably will close the show)
Black Widow (I could see them showing the trailer)
Marvel Phase 4 (We know it's coming...)
Maleficent
Mulan
Cruella
Jungle Cruise
Then there are a bunch of other live action remakes, and non-blockbusters in development

That's really a shame regarding animation. How do you ignore the thing you do best? Someone needs to give Disney the Regina George talk re: their non-Lucas/non-Marvel live action films.
Well, they don't produce that many animation features and their live-action studio produces mostly theatrical failures that only become financially positive in the post-theatrical window. And, anything those studios are producing for D+ will be presented at the D+ panel.
Remember, D+, is the corporation's top priority.

Disney+ has its own Panel though.

Pixar has Onward they can preview. I’m sure there are other projects they would talk about as well. Disney Animation has Frozen 2. There are always other projects they give those in attendance sneak peaks at as well.
Yes... that's exactly what I said... isn't it?

Sorry misread it. I thought you meant there would be Disney+ stuff at the Studios Panel.

Zootopia 2 is heavily rumored to be announced during the Animation segment. PLEASE, LET IT BE TRUE!

I heard the parks panel will be mostly Epcot-based, therefore I’m not expecting anything from DHS considering that SWGE will almost be open. Maybe an update on the status of RR, MV3D, or F!, but I doubt anything will come of it. Here are my predictions of what will be announced for Epcot:
•New pavilion(s)- if they were to announce Brazil they would do it now
•Guardians Coaster Name and Details
•Mary Poppins Ride (if real)
•Details on new entrance, play pavilion, and ratatouille ride
•BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: What to expect from the other pavilions, most likely Imagination. I could see them dropping the bomb and announcing major changes to the Imagination pavilion (hopefully non-Inside Out ones and the return of Dreamfinder) as well as what will happen to Innovations or the Seas pavilions.
•WHAT THE FRIDGE ANNOUNCEMENT POSSIBILITIES: Okay so nobody predicted Pixar Pier, therefore I’m making a list of things that nobody would predict on time or see coming.
-Coco being added to Grand Fiesta Tour
-More unwanted IPs coming to Future World
-Retaining the rights for Wakanda to be installed in World Showcase
That’s everything for Epcot I’m expecting. As for the other parks, I expect Marvel Land ride details for DCA considering Endgame and Far From Home will both be out by then and Phase 4 will be announced the same week, maybe new shows throughout the parks, and a tease of a new land/ride coming to Animal Kingdom or something.

I hope you're predictions of what will be announced for Epcot in D23 Expo to come true. I think that I would like the same predictions too!
I heard the convention will mostly be dedicated to discussing the coarseness of the sand in the WDW golf course sand traps.

Sand on the Palm course is nightmare fuel. We don't joke about that.
