Destination D23 2021

[Communicora]

It would have been nice if the presenters of the Walt ’70s World presentation had actually been alive in the 70s.

I hear you, but all of us have been complaining about TWDC’s short sighted, money grabs, slow moving projects for YEARS on these boards..

Then came the pandemic.

A lot of folks said, “this will teach them!”

It taught them alright. It taught them how to cut even more while at the same time charging more for everything.

I will say again what everyone hates me to say…

TWDC and it’s theme parks are invincible…

Oh, I agree. The delays me off. They are disrespectful to fans. Just because they CAN get away with these things doesn’t mean they should.

I would accept it better if, in the mean time, they were busy plussing the existing attractions and rolling out new, good entertainment. As an example, TRON in 2024 but Big Thunder upgrades in 2022 and Space Mountain in 2023 would feel a lot better to me.

So was the Titanic.

I'm not saying to spend at that level. Everyone has a lot of recovering to do but it hasn't stopped most other parks from adding new attractions post Covid.


How is that stock looking right now?

Year to date it up a little.
Three years to date it’s up a lot.

 

[Andrew C]

Is this confirmed or concept?

Planned pre-pandemic. It looks really cool.

 

[Disstevefan1]

So was the Titanic.

A lotta folks use the Titanic analogy. TWDC had a few Titanic moments and is still masking money hand over fist.

Even something catastrophic as a GLOBAL PANDEMIC could not stop them.

It just made them stronger…

Thanks to Beautiful Bob, I’m sure.

Yes, plastic grass, a bocce court, and a rectangle swimming pool at a Mediterranean themed resort overlooking the shores of the Caribbean.

I've actually stayed at the Hotel Martinez in the French Riviera. Styling was pretty similar.

Now sure there are resorts over there that are absolutely incredible looking. Disney can't afford to build stuff like that. They could fake it I suppose, and the resort could have been better, I admit. However, the way people talk about it you would think it was a Best Western...

Maybe they should put up a statue in his honor.

Only if I can rub the top of his head for good luck.

 

[Touchdown]

What is this?

A concept for a Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild retheme of Poseidon’s Fury.

Slap his face on a budda in china

If Disney can't afford to build fancy resorts, no-one can.

It will take some time, maybe 15 years, but the path they are on is headed straight for the iceberg.

I’ve been hearing people whine about this impending iceberg for more than 25 years now. I think it’s probably melted by now.

Let me guess from now till 5pm the 50th Entertainment part of this panel will be about 5 mins long and everything else will take up the 3 hours.

 

[brb1006]

Destination D23's Intermission Livestream is currently playing old school 80s era Epcot Entrance Music.

 

[Unbanshee]

Let me guess from now till 5pm the 50th Entertainment part of this panel will be about 5 mins long and everything else will take up the 3 hours.

[brb1006]

And they're playing Lesson To The Land

Going over how great Enchantment and Harmomious is? . Sorry forgive me for being a little salty today.
