Disney Insider hints at D23 Expo "sneak peaks"

Of particular interest in the 3rd paragraph: We’re also going to be doing sneak peeks at upcoming projects – including Disney Springs, the reimagining of Downtown Disney at Walt Disney World Resort. There will be teasers for new attractions based on Avatar and Star Wars that we’re working on now for the Disney Parks.

That article also mentions that they will be showing off their DISH (Digital Immersive Showroom). I had never heard of this until last week when a permit was issued to convert at office at WDI at Epcot into a DISH.

Very interesting. First I'd heard any actual confirmation on any Star Wars attractions from Disney.

 

[JCtheparrothead]

Um sweet!

 

[Mr_Incredible]

Yes! Yes!

Just to clarify, this cited blog is an official Disney site, right? I would think so based on the domain name, but just curious...

If so, then this would indeed be the first official confirmation that Star Wars is coming to the parks.

No, Iger said they were working on Star Wars stuff for the parks a month or two back. I want to say it was during an earnings call or something, but I'm not 100 percent sure on that.

Cool, Star Wars and Avatar.

The real fireworks for me is this :

And we’ll have some old models on display – things we rediscovered in the Imagineering warehouse. Some of them were mislabeled, so even we didn’t know what we had! So they hadn’t been seen in a long time, and they’ll be on display. Those include a Western River Expedition attraction intended for Magic Kingdom Park, and an early model for a space pavilion at Epcot that was worked on by Ray Bradbury.”

Seems like what may happen is they hype the Star Wars stuff with very vague ideas for an attraction(s) and then within weeks they pull out the full blown announcement. Hopefully this is how it goes...

Isn't that just Disney's version of Microsoft's Illumiroom?

Yeah. It's kinda what CAVE has progressed into.

It would be sweet if Disneyland and WDW get a completly different suite of Star Wars attractions but I doubt it because Disney loves cloning to save money

Yes, Disney Insider is a monthly newsletter from disney.com - an official Disney site.

Will the jail time and restraining order be worth it?

It may also be worth noting that it says they are working on new attractions based on Avatar and Star Wars for "Disney Parks," not saying specifically which park(s).

I noticed that too. It could be any park worldwide.

Luckily for you he meets guests every single day at Islands of Adventure!
