News Destination D23 2023

[jrhwdw]

We'll probably get some announcements - at the absolute minimum details of the new Epcot show. Seems likely we'll get some news about a light parade if one is happening.

I'm less convinced we'd hear anything about any new rides/attractions/lands. some are suggesting perhaps stuff about DAK but generally Destination D23 hasn't been used for that sort of stuff and so until it does I'm skeptical.

I'd be good with the New WSL Show, WDW Night Parade and the end Date for WallCOT..


Hopefully the good news will be way earlier thank the last Second like 2021 when Adventure Friends, along with the return of Friendship Faire & FOF was announced at the last possible Second......if I remember correctly.....

Not so sure they are going to want to talk about that yet.

Problems??? Also, what Park are we thinking?

How likely do you think we hear about AK? With all the executives walking though that area. Do they save that for D23 or is the timing not a coincidence?

Just still fairly early in the process I think.

The DAK project would be a major announcement, and I don’t think would happen at Destination D23.

Do you think they would wait until D23 next year? Or a ParksBlog announcement?

Please let it be greenlit.......Please let it be greenlit.....

So probably not a 2024 thing?

Is this a new parade we are talking about? They have to be out of touch to announce PTN moving at a California expo next year, unless they'll just post it on the blog.

It better be......

 

[Disney Analyst]

Anything big will be saved for D23 next year. I'd expect minor announcements.

 

[Bocabear]

After the disastrous 50th it would be nice to see some positive excitement coming out of Disney...especially after the gaffe of making announcements and having almost all of them cancelled...

Brayden said on a live stream he's expecting a dinoland announcement at or near DestinationD

Lots of people here are expressing 'expectations' for several announcements.

Doesn't mean it will happen.

What matters if you have a reliable inside source who will tell you "they will announce X" at D23. Unless they have that, expectations are just guesses that anyone can have. Including people with a YouTube channel.

Which means no announcements until next year. Groundbreaking 2025 at the earliest. We’ll be lucky if anything new before 2028.

Speaking of actual D23 proper, we are all in agreement they have to announce the dates at this event?

D23 2024 has not been properly announced yet as many have said.

From what I have seen during past announcements usually it's around March/April when they give out the official date for the expo.

So the addition of a Moana-themed land is too big for a D23 event? Interesting. I know things have been announced at D23 in the past. Maybe not something as big as one or two themed lands.

Too bad. After the political quagmire of bad news, all of the attention Epic Universe has been getting, and the other bad press items about Disney of late, some positive news would be welcome.

It is funny how Disney decides to make park announcements at times. Way back in what seems forever ago, I remember these odd announcements that came out during the week. The Night Safari, Harambe Market, addition of the Harambe Theater District all came out during the week when I was at work. Same with the redo of the Caribbean Beach Central Market and The Gran Destino.

Was really hoping that this would be announced soon so we could see the high res, budget cut versions of what the land will actually look like.

I'm all for if they talk all about fantasy springs. Maybe more insight into Tiana would be cool, but I hope they don't bring up blue sky ideas.

It'd be cool to see what Disney has in store, and I guess we'll find out soon enough.
