Destination D23 2021

I’m sorry to be posting their crap here, as they do often make stuff up, but this is funny, according to them this was disneys response:

Yup, that tone should absolutely put any questions to rest. Not defensive at all. And it makes total sense that a scheduling conflict is keeping the CEO of one of the worlds largest entertainment conglomerates away from one of the company’s premiere events. Awesome job PR team!

Maybe if they promised Bob he could kick a golden retriever or tie Disney’s name to sports gambling he’d show up.

I'm so old.

I hate that virtual reality is the most likely future of rides. It sucks.

I'm relatively young and I hate it too lol

An event that's been on the calendars for months, mind you. It's absolutely hilarious.

That’s not fair. Southwest canceled his flight, too.

That they scheduled.

Rumored Universal Epic Universe ride that appears to have been moved to Universal Studios Florida, occupying the existing Fear Factor Live theater spot (which is adjacent to Diagon Alley).

Supposed to be a "mass VR" broomstick riding attraction.

How cool! I knew plans had shifted. And Potter is now also going in EU and not Fantastic Beats?

A hopeful moment of Schadenfreude doesn't make a baseless speculation (by a site that declares itself at war with Disney) true.

The D23 crowd are hyped about Disney. Things announced in the past that left most of us on this forum puzzled or saddened got big cheers at D23.

As long as Chapek doesn't announce any bad news, he'd be cheered over and over again for any good news. Announce FoF return date? Cheers. Announce a night parade? Cheers. Show off footage of Cosmic Rewind? Cheers.

Then he leaves the stage not mentioning DG+ or ILL or trams.

No boos.

Mostly… it’s a little confused. It seems EU will feature Potter Paris but in the time period of the original films, not FB.

So the story is now on several sites. And at this point is doesn’t even matter what the real reason for him pulling out. The damage is done.

In fact I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if Chapek shows up after all, in an attempt to silence the laughter.

IDK...............With all the effort Disney's trying to cover for Chappie here, let's hope the same effort goes into PTN's Announcement!! It'd be nice to finally end that Fiasco at WDW! Even if DHS gets it! An End date to the Small World Holiday Flood might help TWDC as well! I'm not as anti Chappie or anti That Other Site as some are on here so forgive me but you can't tell me D23 wasn't on the top Chappie 's list for months!!! And now Disney's going after TC for the sudden lack of Chappie at D23! Come On!!!!!

Unless Chappie has a Family Emergency(which is always possible, let's be honest here)there's no excuse for this!!!!

Honestly I think the real reason could be that he's just not a good presenter. Nothing wrong with that. Leave it to those who can do it better. There's no reason the CEO has to be at every Disney related event.

 

[kevlightyear]

Be on the lookout for someone who looks like this, though....

They could do a Lina Lamont and a Kathy Selden type solution! (Singin' In The Rain)

Can’t wait for them to preview a new cupcake that’s a dollar to show they really don’t care about our waistlines. Boom kool aid jug refilled until the next up charge. Genius!

Flight of Potter?

I'm bringing this image back ....just in case we get disappointed..

I really don't believe there is a scheduling conflict.

I'm thinking it will be similar to the Mario ride

He has his knitting group on Friday evenings. They’re doing a turkey pattern this week. It obviously can’t wait.

 

[RSoxNo1]

He has to tell Brie Larson that she's not getting paid for The Marvels.
