News D23 Expo 2022

[dreday3]

Will there be a list of all the wdw announcements? Every refresh of this thread gives me worse angina.

here's your list:

HEA kind of.
Tron Spring 2023
Epcot stuff maybe end of next year

that's it.

 

[Animator_Alex]

Alright. Now that they said all that ON STAGE. If they dont follow through with that, it'll be the biggest blunder in Disney history. No way they show that on stage at D23 and legit have no plans for it. I think them saying it was just concepts was all for show.

 

[wutisgood]

The power of epic universe everyone. Disney is scared, so they're boasting now.

I wonder what if Disney knows the first expansion land is going to be Lord of the Rings?

 

[Kevin-brownie]

Remember, these are no longer themed parks made by Disney but parks themed to Disney.

That makes me incredibly sad.

 

[BubbaisSleep]

While the AK & MK additions sound exciting, they literally are so blue sky they were literally throwing things at the wall to see if they stick. It was like a “What if” seminar for new imagineering students.

WDW:

New fireworks show in 2023 - goodbye Enchantment! Will likely be something like HEA, and will reuse the anthem
A new figment Meet and Greet
Goodbye Harmonious! Something new coming 2023
Two major projects. One behind BTMR either Coco, Encanto or Disney Villains. One in Dinoland either Zootopia or Moana.

Except only the first three items on your list were actually announced. The other two were some ideas they chatted about for 10 minutes.

 

[SoFloMagic]

I guess we're no longer the magic? This video feels like an easy spot for that song

 

[fgmnt]

Going beyond the longstanding practice of announcing greenlit projects that will later get cancelled by his predecessors, Josh is forging new ground in announcing ideas that will never get greenlit into projects.

 

[Overlordkitty]

That last segment felt like it was mocking Disney fans.

 

[Magenta Panther]

Blue sky flag is flying. Who's going to salute?

I know what I'd salute it WITH...

WDW:

New fireworks show in 2023 - goodbye Enchantment! Will likely be something like HEA, and will reuse the anthem
Tron early Spring 2023
A new figment Meet and Greet
Goodbye Harmonious! Something new coming 2023
Two major projects. One behind BTMR either Coco, Encanto or Disney Villains. One in Dinoland either Zootopia or Moana.

Neither of those two projects were announced at all. They were spitballing if they did make those changes.

 

[SirLink]

You see at this point I could even see in the next year them doing a vote via Disney+ to see which land you want built - then if its bad they can just blame it on 'their biggest fans'

 

[aladdin2007]

was the end of harmonious a blue sky maybe thing or a legit announcement?

 

[UNCgolf]

I think we've reached a point where I'm afraid of Disney announcements instead of excited about them. Not just because of some of the nonsense today, but other things they've done over the past 5+ years. It's like, "oh no what are they going to potentially remove and/or ruin now??"

This company had constantly announced things over the years that never happened. It won’t matter one bit.

 

[WonderWab]

What about Fantasmic?

 

[CaptainAmerica]

was the end of harmonious a blue sky maybe thing or a legit announcement?

Legit

 

[MadderAdder]

was the end of harmonious a blue sky maybe thing or a legit announcement?

Real.

 

[danlb_2000]

Except only the first three items on your list were actually announced. The other two were some ideas they chatted about for 10 minutes.

... and the first three are just undoing things that arguably shouldn't have been done in the first place.

 

[wutisgood]

Not even announcing fantastic reopening probably means they aren't improving much.
