Disney opening a brand new resort? Right now? I'm very skepticalDo you think they’ll announce another park in South America? Brazil is the 7th most populous country in the world, has a burgeoning middle class, a largely untapped consumer base. This satellite event in São Paulo might be such an announcement.
My money is that one (or both) of those blue sky projects is very likely to be green lit. I’m assuming Dinoland is green lit first.Maybe it will have a full reveal of the South America expansion of Animal Kingdom? I can't see them announcing a new resort there....right?
What do you mean, untapped? They all seem to have no issue getting to orlandoDo you think they’ll announce another park in South America?

IMO it makes sense for Universal to do it. Adding a 3rd park makes them 4-5 night stay. Their hope is it takes away from Disney.As a DVC member, I completely agree! I’m just saying, hey, they dumped a ton of money into that Shanghai park because it was an untapped consumer base and they knew there would be return on investment in a new park. They had much more to gain by a new park in China than in a new park in WDW. I often wonder if Disney’s consulting firms and their feasibility studies show that there simply isn’t enough remaining market to tap into to support that investment. Same criticism Universal is getting regarding their new park… no new market to tap into, Epic Universe will just siphon from the visitors who already visit Orlando, not increase the volume.
Very interesting. Why go there except to announce a Brazil pavilion? Or provide more detail about Tropical Americas in AK.
It’s getting harder and harder for them to not announce things. Plus they now have that capital expenditure budget they are going to use, if they start building soon it won’t be ready till about when they say the budget will start to be used.Will this just be more “we have thought about this” and “we could maybe do this” blue sky plans or do we think they will actually commit to something? The last two years have been so disappointing.
That's where my head went.Very interesting. Why go there except to announce a Brazil pavilion? Or provide more detail about Tropical Americas in AK.
Oh, I guess not.
Hello, Brazil!!Very interesting. Why go there except to announce a Brazil pavilion? Or provide more detail about Tropical Americas in AK.
Maybe english isn't your first language, but "ultimate" is most used in the meaning of "best" or "most extreme". So they're not claiming it's the last disney fan event, just that it's the best disney fan event.The *ultimate* Disney fan event?! So, there won't be any more ever, it's the last one?!
Oh, I guess not.
psst... it was a jokeMaybe english isn't your first language, but "ultimate" is most used in the meaning of "best" or "most extreme". So they're not claiming it's the last disney fan event, just that it's the best disney fan event.
There's no contradiction in their announcement
