I'm waiting for the " When Disney gets the rights to put Marvel in WDW parks " argument to start up :)
Might as well go for the preemptive strike now ;)
The Disney-owned Marvel movie brand was conspicuously absent from plans to rehabilitate Hollywood Studios. Although Disney bought Marvel in 2009 for $4 billion, the Florida theme park rights to Marvel characters like Spider-Man, the Hulk and Captain America continue to be held by Universal under a long-term contract.

Asked in an interview in July if Universal would ever sell those rights, Thomas L. Williams, Universal’s theme park chairman, answered with one word: “No.”

No one's talking about if rnrc is safe. And if indiana jones stunt show decides to stay for like 15+years will their be enough room to add an updated version of the Indiana jones,adventure? If you would have to choose would you make it more similar to Paris version or Tokyo version? I'm leaving out disney land ca version.whats the best indiana jones ride of all the Disney parks around the world if anyone has experienced it. I don't understand why people won't talk about IJ on this forum. It's a pretty good franchise.

RnRC stays.

And people do talk about Indy here...he's losing his stunt show.

We may call it a waste, but, I would bet my retirement on the fact that it will probably be the most used and occupied piece of land that Epcot and World Showcase, in particular, has ever had.

That sort of hysteria would have happened if they put it anywhere, instead they took a plot that might have otherwise been a country some day. Now I don't think the theme of countries will ever occupy the expansion pads in world showcase.

Although I understand you sentiment, let's get real. That piece of land has been vacant since 1982. That's 34 years! If it doesn't have a country in there by now, it simply would never have one. The years following the opening of EPCOT, they really were active in trying to get other countries in there, and that was during the time when countries actually spent money for that type of exposure. That ship sailed a long time ago. Social media and the internet became the go to method of getting the word out and it was practically free. It was a great idea in it's time, but, it's time has long passed.
 
When is the next d23expo? Is it every other year? I assume disney will reveal more of the Disney hollywood studios extreme makeover for the near future and when indy 5 starts filming maybe we'll know more about IJESS. Hmm should've thought of that earlier. It's not all about Indy I know but to me he holds a place in Disneys heart.just like star wars. Question is do you move him to MK? Or AK? Keep him at dhs? Obviously epcot isn't a fit unless they add a Pavillion of him at world showcase lol.
 
Might sound a little dumb and it probably won't happen but I think disney should consider bringing some of their lesser known films to life even though to me they're great! The great mouse detective, the rescuers, brave little toaster hamm not sure if that's disney or not, the jungle book, the black cauldron!!!?? Sword in the stone...Ward!!!! Ward!!! Sorry I couldn't help it.

Only Adventureland in MK and somewhere in DHS would make sense and both parks definitely have the space for it.

I'm waiting for them to re-release Song of the South.

First, it's "Wart" not "Ward". They call him that because they want him to HOP TO IT LAD, like a frog or toad would. Second, the Sword in the Stone IS represented, because it's RIGHT there in front of the carousel. The Jungle Book has meet & greets, which not much, but hey. Brave Little Toaster was distributed by Disney, if I'm not mistaken, but not produced by Disney. The Black Cauldron, regarded by many as the worst Disney animated feature ever, will never ever EVER be in WDW again unless there is a massive shift in popular culture and mainstream tastes.
