News D23 Expo 2019

[Disney Analyst]

This thread is hilarious. The dramatics. My goodness.

There is going to be a D23 two months or so before the 50th... I would assume that D23 will talk all about the new entertainment and celebration, which I’m also sure will have lots of info released by the blog from now until then.

When has Disney ever announced a new parade or spectacle for an anniversary 2.5 years ahead?

Since it started taking them at least 3 years to create anything new besides cupcakes.

Agreed, too much negativity. I don't like everything, but most of this is going in a positive direction.

Of course it's negative - it's a WDWMagic Forum. Anytime I'm feeling upbeat or optimistic about WDW I come here to be stripped of it...

 

[Brian Swan]

The answer is that I don’t have an opinion on how epcot was before because I was never there.

If you've only know someone after dementia has set in, you can never appreciate how amazing they were in their 20s or 30s...

 

[kevlightyear]

Hold up. D23 made a live stream of the presentation available to at least one media member at an AMC theater. So they had the infrastructure all in place, they just chose not to give the public access to it.

My current theory for why they didn't is either 1) copyright issues with music in the show (especially unreleased music), or 2) streaming would increase appearance fees for celebrities who are part of the presentation. The same would apply apply to the Disney Studios and Disney+ panels.

ah, now we’re talking. i come to this website for perfect, not-weird-at-all analogies like this one

Im not trying to be negative but it was just soooo weak in terms of the new. Please tell me you’re overwhelmed with joy about the new Target partnership and the World Celebration hangout place.

 

[Brian Swan]

Is this pretty much Touring Plans?

Sort of, except this one will crash all the time and create a plan for you that is at least 50% shops and bars...

I still believe Brazil was on the docket and was pulled this week. Such a Disney thing to do.

My info was that it was a no-go, but only in the past few days did signs point to it possibly happening.

 

[wdwmagic]

Perhaps, but this rumor has been going around multiple sites with insider information for years. No other anticipated attraction has been talked about as much as this and not been announced officially by Disney. Why so much smoke and no fire? (pun absolutely not intended, even I’m not sick enough to go there)

Sponsorship.

I’ll fight you for a spot when it comes time to view the fireworks from there. It’s been awhile since I’ve been in a good slap fight

I thought the Celebration place looked nice overall. If they are going to keep doing festivals, might as well have a dedicated nice place (ie not a decaying pavilion) for a festival center. The concept art looked interesting with the tiered levels. I hope they were serious about the trees on top. That’s be cool and dare I say... futuristic.

I wasn’t super excited about any one piece of the Epcot presentation but I liked the ‘whole’ of it very much as well as the direction they seem to want to go with the park. I look forward to more cohesiveness and less hodge podge

I agree with you entirely about the presentation, but not everything that changes things from the amazing EPCOT that wowed me in 1983 is necessarily bad.

No one has answered the Poppins question since the feed dropped. Dark ride or carousel dark ride hybrid?

They never said. You'll enter it by going into the Banks' house, but details will be released later. Maybe a dark ride, or maybe an indoor carousel...?

I’m not saying it’s not cool but we basically knew about this Friday night. My disappointment is not with the quality of what we’re getting but the superficiality of it all. It’s very pretty and unique (in concept) but at the end of the day it’s just a cool hangout spot.

Imagine waking up before Dawn and waiting over 6 hours in a sea of people for that panel. No wonder the guy with the live stream I was watching started screaming F-bombs with the Target announcement.

 

[Brian Swan]

Ah so that's were they stuck Joe.

Actually, I think it's a perfect fit; it sounds like exactly what he did with Africa and Asia for AK, but this time with the Bahamas.

To anyone that does not stay up on the boards and every rumor like most of us here this was a lot of info and new things from the Disney company this week. Parks got some big news even if we all had a pretty good idea of it all prior to event.

We got a lot of news about Epcot and I am also hoping they did not say imagination yet because they cannot close everything at the same time. I hope. That is the reason.
