This is more of an OLC announcement than a Disney announcement

I just am saying stuff like the autopia electrization, the olc stuff with buzz and the cruise ship, the little mermaid announcement, all are stuff they would use as filler in usual d23’s for parks, yet they are coming out now.

And all I’m saying is that they don’t usually make Tokyo/OLC announcements at D23

Animal kingdom needs more than that and a decent night show that can perform multiple times due to space

I agree....and the very last thing that the WDW Resort needs right now is a 5th gate...All of their parks except maybe the Magic Kingdom are in desperate need of more attractions. EPCOT needs an attraction in every country pavilion...and then a few more in World Future-nature-bration or whatever it is called...there should be no shuttered pavilions or closed attractions...It is such a shame to see what a mess that amazing park has become. flex space.... lol

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 is to begin shortly for what amounts to a Frontierland expansion and more distantly, 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 might not be in its current state for much longer, but it probably will not be announced at this D23. New Night Parade is pretty much a lock at this point.

Epcot:
Test Track redo opens summer of 2025, The Spaceship Earth update will likely be 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. I've heard Inside Out will find someplace to go at EPCOT, but remember, some of these projects aren't as far along as others.

Hollywood Studios:
New land to replace Launch Bay. Rock n’ Rollercoaster retheme as well. Falcon mission update at HWS and DL.

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 modifications to the land. Hollywoodland will go away. A Disney Springs-esque shopping district will likely 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. Space Mountain will be back at DLP!

Shanghai Disneyland:
New Marvel Land, Toy Story Mania as well.

Hong Kong Disneyland:
Will get an E-ticket in Tomorrowland still, but I doubt they'll mention it at D23.

Plans can still change, but a lot of this should be announced by or at D23, some of this is long-term, though, and will not be included. Edited for clarity.

Mystic you're not getting nearly enough credit for how comprehensively you nailed almost all of this

EPCOT is my favorite Park followed By Magic Kingdom; Epcot needs to add more. It is a cool concept with enough room to grow and expand. Mayne they just have to use their Imagination, Right Figment

Honestly, I think that Epcot would benefit from some smaller scale additions - just putting some dark rides in WS pavilions would help to spread out the "things to do" in what is a very large park.

Of course, putting something in the old WoL space as well as making Imagination something good again would also be nice.

D'Amaro on Walt Disney Imagineering:

“Our creative communities, including Imagineering, is always alive and bubbling with ideas and concepts and brainstorming. In fact, Imagineering, I don’t think, has ever been more alive and more excited about the future than they are right now,” D’Amaro says. “What that basically means is that there are ideas that are being thrown on the table all of the time, and we’re debating which of these ideas will resonate most with our guests. Which of these can we translate into something that’s going to bring that story to life in a new form, or take it in a new direction? What are our fans asking for?

“And we deliberate that, whether it’s with Jen Lee or Kevin Feige or [Lucasfilm chief] Kathy Kennedy, we debate those things vigorously in a healthy way, and then internally, even at WDI, to make sure that we’re landing on the best possible option to tell the stories that we want to tell,” he adds.

I want to add--Texas is a serious contender for a new resort for Disney in addition to India and Brazil.

The plans do ALL exist.

HKDL is going to get its cruise port as well.

You're welcome.

I first read this as national pavilions for EPCOT and not places for new gates.

I chuckled thinking about a Texas pavilion in World Showcase!
