News D23 Expo 2019

[solidyne]

Which of the four convention spaces is biggest? Hall 23? The "arena"? I am assuming the one with the "secret" announcement ("stage 28") is a smaller one. (I've never been.)

We need another cryptic list of expected announcements from @marni1971, a la 2017. That generated several pages of speculation and was a ton of fun.

Can someone link that post?

I’m not going out on a limb here. There’s too many possibles and potential queue jumping.

I’d be shocked if nothing Epcot was announced put it that way.

From everything you’ve heard how much do you think we will hear regarding WDWs 50th?

Here.

Ahhhhh! Who knew Nostradamus was a Disney insider! I knew they hired him for consulting with TDS’ construction but I didn’t know he had that much access! Wow

 

[PymParty]

Is there any chance they talk about the expansion projects of the international parks during the P&R presentation ? We only know they will talk about Marvel in DLP and HK.
I would love to have more info on HKDL's expansion, Zootopia Land or Fantasy Springs

I like it.

My guesses in order:
Brazil
Spaceship Earth
Black Box ride
Indy land / Animation Courtyard to RnR (wishful thinking on my part)

None of them (other than SE) are related to anything that they’ve started announcing, like the Epcot Spine redesign, so as far as Disney’s concerned they will count as secret.

After all there can’t have been anyone who visits Orlando who didn’t knowBUniversal were going to build a new park, yet that was billed as a massive announcement.

My guesses in Order
Space Ship Earth
Brazil
The Incredibles to replace RNR
50th Birthday Daytime and Nighttime Parade for the Magic Kingdom

that is my guesses for the announcement for Disney I hope!

A new daytime parade is definitely not happening for the 50th, if anything FoF might get 1-2 new floats.

Ehh. A park has rides.

The hotel will have "rides"... to SW:GE. And probably some simulated stuff going on inside, too -- klaxons, rumbling, screens showing the "ship" under attack or seige...

I don't consider transportation a ride. It will have interactivity like Galaxy's Edge, but its not going to have an actual attraction.

I predict it'll be just as much an "attraction" as the monorail.

why is the Disney Cruise ship in the Disney Parks logo for D23?

Cruise Line is within the 'Disney Parks, Experiences and Products' segment.

Who will be doing this presentation? Iger or Chapek or neither? The person who delivers this message my provide as clue as to how big the announcement is.

Correct. And I consider the monorail as only transportation. I have no affinity or nostalgia for it other than getting me from A to B.

Is the purple triangle the Tron coaster?
