News D23 Expo 2022

Epic Universe is just going to expand the market more than taking share from Disney. I'm sure comcast execs are still feeling good after today though.

Biggest unspoken announcement from D23 is that TWDC is apparently engaging in a massive money laundering scheme.

I’ve said that for years

 

[danlb_2000]

The future is boundless, but we aren't going to spend the money to get there.

 

[GhostHost1000]

Yeah. They took the time to figure out how to make everything cost more

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

If you can dream it you can do it ... if someone else will just pay for it.

 

[Doberge]

Uh oh. Yeah, I'm nervous.

 

[Gringrinngghost]

Blue Sky Development... aka Cancellation Station...

“Way early in the creative process”

Projects that will NEVER happen

 

[trainplane3]

Good on them for the long explanation.

We waited 3 years for this.

My goodness, this company has lost its way and is no longer even trying. Everything feels low budget, minimal effort.

Epic Universe is going to absolutely crush Disney attendance in a few years and WDW will have zero answers ready.

As much as it hurts, they deserve it. They're digging their own grave.

As much as I think Epic Universe will be a great draw and bring in big numbers, I just do not see Universal beating Disney attendance.

Magic Kingdom is the most visited theme park in the world and will remain so. However, Epic Universe stands a chance at eating into the numbers of the other three parks, for sure. But even there, I’m skeptical of a “crush.”

Just means people may do Disney a little differently and/or give Universal more time.

Man, Josh is gonna show how they lay people off?

 

[CaptainAmerica]

If it's VR, we riot.

That's not really how it works. People don't go to to both Universal AND WDW in the same year.

We used to never consider Universal but will once Epic opens. Disney may go to a once every 2 year trip.

 

[danv3]

More filler...stuff they know has about 5% chance of happening.

 

[MisterPenguin]

 

[MadderAdder]

Why did you make this last? What the hell?

 

[Doberge]

He can't say in so many ways what he's going to share likely won't happen.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Dinoland rebuild, suck it, Cap was right.

 

[ToTBellHop]

Let’s chat about new ideas we will cancel next year!

Real-talk: smart to put a caveat on this stuff so we don’t flip when it changes. But flip, we will!
