News Destination D23 2023

[J4546]

I thought this was a pretty good announcement imo if things go through. Indy and Encanto going to a rethemed South American land taking over Dinos is cool imo (though i love dinosaurs and would love them to stay) but adding a new continent and it seems their will also be animals as part of this is a win to me.

Saying they were taking MK to overdrive for beyond big thunder make it sound like they are gonna be doing something really big in MK soon and Im all for that.

Pirates tavern is cool even though I dont drink I like it. Hatbox ghost is cool, opening dates for things are nice to know....

Avengers E-ticket getting mentioned makes me happy, could be really cool imo if they go all out with it like Rise or something.

TestTrack came outta nowhere imo, but I like it. TT is a cool but very dated ride so a massive refresh is great

All in all Im pretty happy with the announcement I didnt expect much cause this isnt the big d23 but what we got Im happy with

Seeing the small Remy animatronic again brought back memories of this photo from the early 2010s taken inside "Les Chefs de France" where Marie from The Aristocats peeking against the window where the Remy AA was located in.

Oh no, a bad sign. The EPCOT presentation is introduced by Disney World ambassadors. That typically means light presentation.

Still no sign of Zach Riddley.

Still no sign of Zach Riddley.

At least Epcot's VP is in attendance.

 

[disneylandtour]

Still no sign of Zach Riddley.

And one of these people is an operations exec. I think the highpoint of the day is now behind us.

 

[kevlightyear]

Yeah, I wouldn't expect much more than some extra details.

Marty Sklar archive coming in hot in stage right now…..

These storyboards below were for the famous ‘Epcot film’ Uncle Walt was in.
They are showing us the entire thing…
Marty kept everything, they tell us.
Time for another book!!

P.s., when have Epcot fans been referred to as ‘Epcotians’….?


Marty notes, stressing some goals in mind for EPCOT Center.

"Concrete is just trying to be what it is." This doesn't look well rehearsed.

Interesting some of the things that are not that far away which were still not mentioned today.

Josh better tighten up his pants!

But of course it’s laughable to think Josh will be affiliated with Disney in a year or two.

He’s the next to go. Better lock himself in bobs shower the next day the stock drops 5%

Astounding that Disney will retheme or alter any show or ride on property except the ones people have been begging for years to get updated (Carousel of Progress, Imagination, the stale BatB show at DHS etc).

You noticed that?

Looks like after October 16 it's going to be a long time before a new build attraction opens at WDW.

I’d say from the looks of it the clock has already been ticking since the spring

Anything actually happening worth mentioning?

D23 next year for the parks could be WAY better than the last one.

Y'all I don't care about Epcot because I'm from LA. I'm just responding to that guy's asinine comments about IJA with equally asinine comments about Epcot.

1. I’ve been to Disneyland several times. I like it. So I have an opinion or two on it.
2. So you went to Epcot when? Were you born with someone named “bush” in the Whitehouse?
3. IJA is a ride. A nice ride. They should keep it. But has zero effect on the needs of wdw. None. If they bother to do it…you know? After Harrison ford’s funeral
