News Destination D23 2023

Doesn't sound like any park announcements to come. I know it's not unusual for a Destination D, but still feels like there's an obvious void needing to be filled.

Agreed. There was definitely hopes of some things getting announced. Now it’s not looking so great.

They’re finances aren’t great and Iger is in danger of being “retired”

False hope may be the correct term here

That trick worked great last year - heck, the threads discussing what it will all be and how they're going to be doing it are still going strong - but if they were to try it a second time without having moved any dirt from last year's "announcements", fans might start to catch on... maybe.

I can't imagine they'd announce anything at this inbetween event. They need to save anything big for D23 Expo, especially after the last lacklustre year.

If anything, they would use this platform to provide updates on existing projects, and or announce some smaller WDW related projects.

At this rate Universal executives are going to start having parties every time a D23 event comes around, they're making it too easy for them

... Which is kind of the problem with setting up a business to charge your "most loyal" customers to hear about what you plan to do. The creation of the D23 Expo with parks announcements set in motion this idea they'd actually have something new to announce for someplace, somewhere like clockwork every two years.

Last year, bupkis. So from two to four years, they sure better have something, eh?

I don't know why they bother with these, except another excuse to charge a boat load of money. Everyone keeps buying into it I guess.

3 new attractions they’ll announce for 2025:

- Hollywood Studios Tram
- Epcot Tram
- both water parks being open at the same time

The trams are like the moving Yeti.

The longer they're down, the less likely they're ever coming back.

If nothing is announced this fall then we can certainly write off anything new coming for 2025 and likely 2026 IMO.

That wdw nighttime parade glimmer of hope just became dimmer.

Well they're going to have to announce the Epcot show details by then so there's some hope there will be other entertainment news.

It’s amazing to me that three months of closure for Covid slowed progress on all attractions being built to nearly a year and a half later than anticipated. It amazes me more that it may be ten years between new lands showing up at Disney. An entire decade of barely anything new. And they wonder why numbers are down.

Following three months of closure was two years of labor shortage and supply chain disruptions. Not to mention nearly the first year of enforced distancing and widespread justified fear of crowds.

You know that in September of 2020, everything was not back to the way it was in January of 2020, right?
