News Destination D23 2025

[Tha Realest]

Well now we know who would play dreamfinder.

On the current JII you can’t see either of them

Compared to past Destination D events they seem to keep expanding more and more into D23XPO2....

If I had to guess, I'm guessing we'll hear more details of the Tropical Americas attractions like what specifically the stories will be for the Encanto and Indiana Jones attraction plus more concept art for those rides as well, the Monstropolis land at DHS will probably get more details there including that show that's going to replace MuppetVision 3D, and I guess more info about Villains land and the Cars mini-land.

As for new attractions and shows (at least for WDW), maybe? Idk what to really expect in terms of new things

Hopefully there is also info on Avatar at DCA,

It's secretly a plan to get their most dedicated fans to have one last ride on all the attractions since EU has forced WDW to completely shut down.

[Disneyfanatic30]

I personally want to hear more about villains land

 

[larryz]

$800 for high-end seating is only half of an unrestricted* annual pass, so it looks like they're showing some restraint in their pricing this year. /s

Of course, that's after you paid at least $100 to be a Gold member (or $300 to be a Super-Gold member), and airfare, hotel, and food for the weekend...

* Some restrictions apply. See Terms and Conditions for details...

There will be lots of discussion on how Epic isn't hurting attendance. They'll brag about finally getting rid of Frontierland and all of the 'problematic' imagery associated with the American frontier west. There will be some fuss about creating another DVC hotel that looks surprisingly similar to a typical mid rise Marriot. There will now be an upcharge to ride the monorail and/or gondola transportation systems

Thanks for the prophecy, sunshine!

Thanks for the prophecy, sunshine!

it doesn't seem so far off track...oh yeah and a new charge for parking at Disney Springs....

 

[jmuboy]

I have to say the panels SOUND really good. I'm actually like - wow - this sounds good!

 

[Disnutz311]

So maybe a stupid question, but is there going to be a mini parks panel session this year. Not expecting big new things but, at least updates of what is coming to WDW. I am sure they have more to announce, but I don't see a big Parks session/show in the main room announced yet. This would be a deciding factor in my attendance.

Excited for this one, thinking there will be a lot of unveiling of plans (Tropical Americas, Villains, Lakeside Lodge, etc.) As someone mentioned in another thread, fair chance (I hope) they kept back a Moana ride announcement for this event. I don’t keep up with the cruise lines as much but I think there’s plenty of room for announcements there as well.

Really curious to see if anything semi concrete is announced for Villains. Restaurant, rides, layout, etc.

According to the site there is more to be announced and hopefully would be streaming again like last time ..

I fully expect there will be - it doesn't really get into any specifics of any panels planned for during the days yet, more the evening events

In 2021 they had "Connections: A Look at the Future of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products"

in 2023 they had "A Celebration of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow"

both were the first panel, Saturday morning and both led by Josh d'Amaro

Looking for this, the full schedule didn't come out until within a month of the actual event

I finally pulled a really good slot in one of these. Had an initial 3 minute wait. Ticket bought.

These events have been all over the place in years past. You just never know what you’re gonna get. I think even if they announced one new attraction it would be a victory in most eyes. Epcot is the one park that doesn’t have any big announcements after Test Track opens. All Disney needs to do is announce a Figment re-do involving Tony Baxter and it will be perceived a home run.

I think they are still waiting for that circlevision with the seamless screen for china that was supposed to happen..........And was announced in 2021....
