I’ve seen others suggest $17bn for Florida, which isn’t necessarily WDW
A portion of the $60 is designated for new capacity.
Were they going to buy Gatorland?

Stop defending Iger the bull$hitter.
I know we are stuck with him, but he is just throwing out sound bites to see what sticks.
As for 17B for WDW, I will believe it IF I live long enough to see it.
I'm not defending Iger. I'm opposing misunderstandings and outright lies.

Probably not going to see a change in sentiment amongst these parts. The earliest a major substantial offering occurs now is 2027... probably exceedingly looking like 2028. By major, beyond Big Thunder, which is I think the type of substance that people want to see.
I'm sure plenty of other stuff will happen before then. Just not the big boundary expansion. My crystal ball says people will complain about it the entire way.
There will be more reskins and rethemes as well as new attractions that add capacity.
We don't know if the new capacity will take the form of "a land." For example, Ratatouille added capacity without building a new 'land.' TSMM and Soarin' added capacity just by adding a new 'track.'
Iger was saying that there is enough space to for seven new lands in order to make the point none of the parks are not 'land locked' from expanding capacity.
Which is a very tough thing to do because everything that came out of his mouth was carefully crafted to be misunderstood, ambiguous, contradicting, confusing, etc.
No offense Penguin, but that doesnt Float with me, as everyone or most Adults alive today understand what Walt bought and a good idea of how much. It was the reason he did it because he was Landlocked in Cali. They have sold off some of it over the years and I do agree that some of the land is meant to be left as natural habitat, which I believe was part of Walts wishes. It does not excuse the fact that Capacity has not increased in any way shape or form to address the added Hotel spaces and overcrowding of the parks.
God dont say that they will try and do that.

The movies & shows were doing good back then. Now they're depending on ol' reliable to make money.
God, that'd be insane if DLR gets two additions & WDW only gets one...
Give us the relevance that movie has maintained since it debuted.
Hint: It's a number less than one. Unless you're a furry, then it's off-the-charts.
Formulaic TV police drama expanded to fit a feature-length movie. Which is what it is when you take the fuzzy blinders off.
Right??? Disneyland has SO MANY ANNUAL PASSHOLDERS, they don't deserve anything!! In fact, offerings should be cut back to teach those freeloaders a lesson. Look how well that has worked in Florida!

DLR deserves expansions too. But those two parks are in a much better state than most of WDW.
I know. And "new capacity" was worded very vaguely for a reason. A new resort is "new capacity". A new cruise ship is "new capacity". Adding a single ride is "new capacity", as long as it isn't on the footprint of a ride that already existed. Two of those are very, very attractive financially to Bob. One isn't. I will remain skeptical until there is actual expansion work being done in the parks and not platitudes and words spoken in financial meetings.
