What part of "expect no announcements" do people not get?

"expect no announcements" is too boring to think about.

Set very low expectations. I don't think we have solid precedent from anything of merit ever coming out of the Destination D23 events in the last decade.
Maybe a video or more concept art from Guardians Coaster as the 'highlight'. An updated plan for the Epcot hub is probably expecting too much.

If I remember correctly they do not allow streaming of the presentations at Destination D23 unlike D23 Expo. Announcements will still be posted on social media but likely not pictures, videos, etc.

Entertainment? The updates coming for F!, maybe parades? Not everyone would find this news exciting though lol.

See, that's setting yourself up to be disappointed. There again is zero precedent. These things usually have a sprinkling of repetitive details we already know (like the same details on Galaxy's Edge for the millionth time). I can't recall a single instance of anything ever being announced.
That's more likely on a random Tuesday on the Disney Parks Blog, Josh's Instagram or the actual D23.
I'll be happy to be wrong, but it would be a first. Granted, actual D23 was delayed from this year.

Any other year I’d be in 100% agreement with you. But with the delaying of the actual D23 expo I think they’ll throw a bone or two in here as some announcements could be time sensitive. Agree on not getting hopes up though. All I’m really expecting is maybe some concept art on Guardians and a date or two for stuff close to done. Like Galaxtic StarCrusier or Tron.
(Insert joke about paying to listen to Chapek “speak”)
Looks like D'Amaro will be speaking.

I don’t recall Bob Iger speaking at Destination D, so it’s interesting that Bob Chapek is doing so. Maybe he still has a deep rooted love for the parks that he just can’t let go of! Maybe he longs for the applause he receives after prompting the crowd to clap for him! Just busting your chappy chops, in all seriousness I have nothing against him deciding to speak.
