Are you ok? Do I need to send the paramedics with a AED over?Animal Kingdom: Indiana Jones Adventure, Encanto dark ride, Central American animals throughout the land Tropical America’s replacing Dinoland AND a Lion King ride for Africa, Zootopia show replacing “It’s tough to be a bug,” and a new night show with more fountains and drones.
Magic Kingdom:
Site work to begin shortly for what amounts to a Frontierland expansion and a new Villains Land the size of Galaxy’s Edge. Additionally, the Moana boat ride originally slated for Animal Kingdom will go in Adventureland between Pirates and Jungle Cruise. Tomorrowland Speedway will be different. Big Thunder Mountain receives an update. Stitch will not be in its current state for much longer.
Epcot: Test Track redo opens summer 2025, Spaceship Earth update likely announced and will start once Test Track comes back online. I’d expect to hear one more announcement for EPCOT. Keep a close eye on the Figment project on Disney Plus.
Hollywood Studios: New land to replace Launch Bay. Rock n’ Rollercoaster retheme as well.
Disneyland Resort: New, unique Avatar land using the Shanghai pirates boat technology at DLR. PeopleMover comes back in a new way at Disneyland Park alongside significant changes to the land. Hollywoodland will go away. A Disney Springs-esque shopping district will be officially announced alongside plans for a new transit configuration for the resort. The Avenger’s E-ticket gets an actual announcement.
Walt Disney Studios:
Gets its own Avatar land and a Lion King land. Other misc. project in the existing part of the park.
Disneyland Parc Paris:
A larger than Soarin’ sum, so perhaps Soarin’/Soaring 2.0, Indiana Jones Adventure, or even a new version of Rise of the Resistance. I’d fully expect either a new land or two new rides including an E-ticket in total.
Shanghai:
New Marvel Land, Toy Story Mania as well.
Hong Kong will get an E-ticket in Tomorrowland still.
Disney is paying Comcast/Universal one Epic Universe + some changeDid we get a final bill for hula?
I'm sure EU could pull from both (per-existing Universal) parks but I'm not sure it'll offset the number of people that'll take advantage of new multi-day tickets Universal is sure to start offering to entice longer stays.
Wait a minute…did that yutz actually say the piecemeal crap they did over the last 10 years is a “counter” to the gigantic new park the competition is opening next year?

I don’t really consider DVC an anchor.
You just have to buy at a very low price when Disney isn’t buying back points.
I have my Boardwalk points at $82 a point so even though the resale market is poo poo right now I can still sell and make money.
I don't know. I know reservations played a part but the last attendance report that came out Universal's parks had more attendance than AK and Epcot.This would be incredibly, incredibly unprecedented. All second gate additions have resulted in about a decade for their primary parks to recover their previous attendance peaks.
I’m just trying to set expectations that USF attendance declines are expected and totally fine. The resort will gain 25%-ish attendance year one and then slow roll the other 25% over the next 5-10 years.
I expect Epic will be incredibly popular, but half at the expense of the other two parks and the other half organic length of stay or new customers for the resort.

I could see AK and Epcot again being the parks that lose attendance to Universal. I get this is a Disney centric site with WDW being the main boards but Universal is not as bad as many make it out to be.
I'm not disagreeing with that. You make it sound like Disney will always be king Universal will always be second. People will continue to go to Disney and add on Universal for 2 days like they do now.It’s never happened before though. At either Orlando operator, Anaheim, Tokyo, Paris. All the original parks shed attendance for a decade+ to their subsequent gates, until the total resort attendance officially doubled. It’s really unrealistic to set that expectation on Epic. Or rather really unrealistic for USF. New gates don’t instantly fulfill their entire occupancy goal day one. I’m even being extremely generous by saying USF attendance could rebound to its previous peak within five years, it’s usually a decade.

Yes USF will lose some attendance so will AK and Epcot.
So... Coco there or no Coco?Animal Kingdom: Indiana Jones Adventure, Encanto dark ride, Central American animals throughout the land Tropical America’s replacing Dinoland
I just don't understand why they have to flip an attraction instead of just build a new one.Disney converted Splash into Tiana in less than 1.5 years, more than doable to fill that time with more than enough entertainment/festivals to entertain APs. My hope is that whatever additional attractions they have planned, come online quickly after that in succession.
There are plans for new parks at both Disneyland Resort Anaheim and Walt Disney World after all of these expansions (and a few others).
Where exactly are they going to fit this mythical new park in Anaheim?There are plans for new parks at both Disneyland Resort Anaheim and Walt Disney World after all of these expansions (and a few others).

The words “intend” and “soon” appear to be highly subject to interpretation hereView attachment 777433
While I don’t think Disney will be building a new park at WDW for at least 15-20 years, they do seem to intend to build one at DLR soon.
These are the “hypothetical plans” they submitted to the city of Anaheim and were approved. You can find out more about it on disneylandforward.com
Notice you picked 3 parks that were ill advised and you would not want to replicate?The Toy Story Parking Lot and adjacent Cast Member Parking Lot combined are about 75 acres. By comparison, this would be larger than Disney Studios Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland, and DCA. If they can find a place for a big enough parking garage to replace this lot, it could be a viable option for a separate third gate.
