This is an EPIC failure by Disney.

Yep, what universe do they live in?

People will pay to go if there's a live stream. It's about the experience of being there. being in the moment.
My local hockey team, the Chicago Blackhawks, did not televise their home games for a LONG time under the idea that if they are on TV, no one will go to the game. So what happened? An entire generation of fans who never cared about the Blackhawks because they couldn't watch them. Owner died. His kids put the team back on TV. They win 3 Stanley Cups.
I'm not saying it's the right decision, but I think this is the reason. They need to keep an air of exclusivity to this if they plan to do this again. Anyone who has a so-so experience this year may be very tempted to skip it and livestream in the future if it were offered.People will pay to go if there's a live stream.

Then why are they live streaming the Fortnite portion? That's where they completely lost me.

I get it, but that is an old idea. The experience sells the tickets. There are other ways to make the in person experience worth the price.
They should do both, especially with D+ sub opportunities.

Smiling Friends is GREAT! Disney does not have the talent or the guts to create something like Smiling Friends.
On D23, my expectations are, no expectations at all.
The real interest in Unreal Engine for Disney is that it's the heart of "The Volume," a 360 degree LED filming environment being used for many Disney movies and series (and being used as much by other studios, too, now).
They aren't live streaming any of it to the public. The Fortnite stream is delayed by 90 minutes.

Right, that is probably a big part of it. As much as I dislike Fortnite...I LOVE Unreal Engine, especially since it is basically free to use for personal use...if you sell something using Unreal they get a percentage, but it is a super powerful tool for realistic CG stuff
It's a good thing that all Fortnite players are paragons of virtue and won't record the livestream and repost it on the Internet anywhere!!

I figured out my expectations of D23 -
Being shown stuff that -
May never, ever happen.
If it happens its many, many years off.
If they complete it, it is a greatly cost cut of version of what we were shown at D23 six years prior.

Went to D23 in 2022. This is why I'm not currently in Anaheim. I wholeheartedly understand the desire to prevent more people coming to this conclusion like I have.
What were your main issues with 2022?
Someone will record it and post it on YouTube.For those that do not own gaming systems and hardly know, or care, what fortnight is lol, how would one view this?
Oh, wait... do you know what YouTube is?

My church live streams almost everything. But we had a specific event one time which required tickets for admission. Obviously, we didn't live stream.

True. I do hope there is a video copy released somewhere though as a later date of the actual annoucements. Sometimes, the actual panel showcases concept art that is then never officially shown on the parks blog (2019 Avengers E-ticket announcement had 3/4 pieces of concept art although only 1 or 2 were actually released). Also, purely for an archival reason, Disney has recent been deleting Disney Park Blog posts from anything pre-2021, so details of some of the attractions announced previously can no longer be found unless you go back to the original panel (Again, 2019 Avengers E-ticket's whole story was revealed at the 2019 parks panel and can no longer be found unless you find videos of the panel)
