I don't believe there is anything park related at this, but would love to be wrong!

Wouldn't any new National Geographic stuff about the parks fall under this? And, presumably, any new specials filmed in the parks that we don't know about either.

How about the fifth rename for the Agatha series? There’s still time to change its name a few more times before release!

 

[Brian]

Maybe they'll announce the Cake Bake Shop closing date.

Looking forward to seeing the Figment film/special be announced and this forum's rage when the however million they'll spend on it isn't funneled into revamping the ride

I still remember the mysterious photos of Figment arriving at Disney Animation Studios sometime last year.

Yeah - more of The Bear, and nothing about Country Bears Jamboree. Promotion about American Idol, and no reference to The American Adventure.

I believe the rumor is that all of the names it has gone through are actual episode names. If true, I actually think that was a pretty genius marketing idea to keep a name of a character that isn't well known outside of the Wanda show in the cycle over the years.

Also, they already did, lol:

Guess it was just Agatha All Along

Guess it was just Agatha All Along

I’d like to see the name change again in July.

It doesn't seem like anything consequential for the parks.

This was newsworthy:
"The presentation ended with a fiery roast from Jimmy Kimmel, a staple of Disney’s Upfront: 'Remember when Netflix thought they were above all this? They came in — destroyed commercial television — and now — guess what they want to sell you? Commercials on television.'"

Keep track of the popular Disney content... it may become the IP of next year's ride!

Yeah - more of The Bear, and nothing about Country Bears Jamboree. Promotion about American Idol, and no reference to The American Adventure.

More of the Avengers, and no reference to Avengers Campus.

More of the Muppets, and nothing on Muppet Vision.

More of It's Always Sunny, but no It's A Small World

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Time to bring this gem out for anybody thinking we'd expect park announcements..

 

[Mireille]

Guess it was just Agatha All Along
