Rumors are like opinions…everyone has got one and they’re usually not very intelligent

oooh, that would actually make perfect sense...even though Duffy is technically DisneySea's character

My guess (and it’s just that, a guess, no connections or insider knowledge here,) is that it’s a symbolic move, to indicate something like “getting back to the Disney of yore.” Not literally, but in terms of how they think and operate. Horizons is a word that invokes the Disney of the 1980s but also the idea of expansion and new things. I think it’s meant to speak to their future direction. Horizons wasn’t built under Eisner but was finished right before he arrived. I noticed in the new “Behind The Attraction” series they make a point of romanticizing the Eisner years a bit. My guess is that they might be looking to that period in the past as a framework for the future.
Seems like a risky bet with fans though, as the first thing people will think is “They’re bringing the ride back!”, which I seriously doubt is going to happen. I could see some other kind of nod to it, like a restaurant or future play pavilion, but not the ride itself.

They’re redoing their SRS to Wreck it Ralph tho. Don’t the people over there love it?

The horizon is something way off in the distance, just like the blue sky cr@p they are going to shovel..

I think using "Horizons" is just some grave robbing for nostalgia sake...make everyone feel warm and fuzzy, then talk about the latest cupcake party or popcorn bucket or meet and greet. D23 has taught me that they are probably scrambling now to come up with content, and they have no idea what they are going to talk about.
We have ceased attending... I would love for them to prove me wrong and actually have a bunch of amazing announcements for WDW that are actually funded.....but....

This year’s blue sky is a Spaceship Earth: New Horizons. It will slowly develop over the next few years to Spaceship Earth starring Jonesy Fortnite

Random thought - remember awhile ago there was a new license on some technology that was like holographic type projections? I think the idea being that you could interact with them to some degree. That seemed like a cool concept but then disappeared, wonder if that comes back?
Was hoping the long rumored Haunted Mansion restaurant might be a possibility, but now with the lounge on the new cruise ship I highly doubt it. Still holding out a small amount of hope for a more general “villain” themed restaurant.
Another long shot possibility - hoping they’ll do something with the Starcruiser hotel.
Other than that, assuming the focus will be on Epic Games stuff, Disneyland, BBTM and the expansion at AK.

Horizons means nothing they will talk about will be anywhere in the near future...they are just on the horizon...like a perpetual "Phase 2" that never happens...always just out of reach.... and they will be using the word Horizon" because everyone is now aware that Blue Sky means absolutely nothing ... just throwing out artwork from cancelled projects and saying "Maybe one day"...when there is no funded intention of actually following through...

Yes, for both.
Using "Horizons" in a 80s/90s 16-bit type font will both elicit nostalgic conversations (as we are having) and provide a broad term for projects looming in the distance.

Whatever is announced for Epcot aside from TT details, has gotta be for SE, JII, or Magic Eye. I’m going to stick with a Magic Eye announcement, just to play it safe, though I wouldn’t be surprised seeing them combining SE & a Horizons adjacent theme for a brand new iteration of the attraction. Horizons ain’t coming back but I can see it living on in aspects through neighboring attractions

TRUE.
I have a photo of someone going "they're gonna expand the MK railroad across the property" to keep me humble
.Yeah I heard Duffy. imo it's whatever, a tokyo splash change is like Imagination 4, I'll believe it when I see it LMAOOOOO.
D23 is gonna be so good to weed out people in the grapevine... call it... weed cutting.
Honestly, im gonna go tight lips about D23 until the night prior. I'll probably do something then.
