I agree.
It's only really a headliner, IMO, because Epcot generally has such a weak line-up of attractions. It's still the only thrill ride that almost certainly won't make people sick.

So now we can bring our awkward, lacklustre, cringeworthy presentations to a MUCH bigger audience!

Indy 5 was always going to be the last one, at least the last one they would ever truly link to the ones before. 5 didn’t destroy anything other than its own box office.
People still do and will continue to love Indy.

I’ve never been is there enough people to fill that stadium? I also think I’m going to make an effort to go for the first time next year.

ah, I never liked 1.0, 2.0 was such a great refresh for me, way more futuristic feeling and not stuck in the mid-90's anymore with nothing "EPCOT" feeling at all

It’s sad commentary that the bar is now set so low that this presentation seems better than D23.
I am happy with a few of the announcements, but it is nowhere near enough to reverse the downward trend.

Makes complete sense. Expositions are to showcase and preview new products and attractions.
Since nothing of note is on the horizon, reframing as a fan event appropriately sets expectations.

…just no one younger than me.
Hey…opinions vary. Here’s one: Disneys running of Lucasfilm has been so disastrous…it’s like that’s what they’re trying for…
Like the soon to open concrete storage shed behind mgm…
But I don’t try to convince anyone of anything anymore.
Because:
1. It won’t work
2. I fight dirty when the throw down starts

So they’ve nixed the Zootopia land altogether and sticking a show in to replace its tough to be a Bug? Not sure how that’s going to work.
I’ve heard the track layout is the same as dinosaur but they won’t be able to clone it will they? Doesn’t the Indy ride have a massive hall area with different levels?
Encanto makes sense in this South America area but there was never mention of a ride for that land? So again, a nice update to the area but it doesn’t add capacity.
For behind BTM they are better off making the whole area a Villians land.
I dont doubt that they will be adding the most additions than they have ever done but when it’s all spread out over the international parks too, while more than Epic universal is adding with 1 park, it won’t feel significant enough in WDW whatever they add.
Edit: also I know I am alone in thinking this but I guarantee that Disney are letting the right side of Hollywood studios (animation courtyard, RnR etc) have a slow death for when they will probably get the rights to Marvel in the parks when that whole area will be come an Avengers Campus

Casita has to be an attraction of some kind. What quality of attraction is up in the air, but they wouldn’t build the facade with space behind it and do absolutely nothing with it.

Young people watch older films. Same with listening to music. But yes, if you’re not a fan of Indy that’s ok too. Many many are fans

I am still so upset that they showed the puppeteers for the muppets. That was…shocking and such bad show. Just….what?!?!
They should just have taped segments with a narrator to segue between them. Everything live was an utter s**t show and an embarrassment for the company.

Same with me. I'd run to Tokyo before even considering dropping serious money on a WDW vacation. and my husband loved Universal when we went last year so we are eagerly awaiting the new park.
Well that was better than D23 and the last Destination D, though to be fair, the last two had literally nothing, so stuff of substance that wasn't restaurants and meet and greets being announced is good. Still could have been better, it could have been shortened a lot and the muppets segments were pointless, but at least there seems to be some stuff on the horizon as opposed to literally nothing (even though said stuff is extremely sparse). Hope EU is successful as nintendo land was on the west coast to force disney into actually building stuff again, because while there are some prospective things, it isn't nearly enough to combat against EU.

When was the park focused more on Animals than the IP's?

At least it didn’t go lower than my already low expectations of no commitment to anything substantial at WDW for now. Some ‘ideas’ for the future but that’s about it. Country Bear refresh was a bit of a surprise though.

I was kidding about the character warehouse. Just shocked at the price. But as ive learned from some of my hobbies, some things are just expensive. Whatever people enjoy they should do.

I feel like things are teed up very well for D23 proper.
Since none of these will be surprises next year, just most likely fuller concrete plans of the exact details, that leaves them the opportunity to “surprise” us with the Imagination redo. I am willing this scenario into existence!
