Updates
- Removed Fantasmic! premiere due to completion
- Removed New Orleans Square flattening project as I believe that's done now too

Not a lot happening at the resort anymore that we know about... The only announced major projects in the parks now are Runaway Railway/Toontown and the PatF Splash re-theme which still hasn't started.

Hopefully we will get more info on the future of DLR at D23 this year.

Does anyone know when Uva and Catal are closing to become Centrico and Paseo? I was trying to make ADRs at Uva for our trip in September, and no dates and times were available.

Thanks for this! I'll include in the OP.

I think it has a good chance of happening, if Disney is willing to agree to things the city wants in return for the deal.

We are just in the early prep stages, lots can change during the process.

As they say, only time will tell.

Hi Darkbeer, haven’t heard from you in a while. Hope all is well.

Any news regarding the proposal

Thanks. I'm planning on waiting until at least the parks panel on Sunday to update so that I can do one big bulk update. So thread will be a little outdated for the next two days or so.

Minor Bit's N Bobs:

GiveMeTheMusic has stated that a small retheme for somewhere is planned, but couldn't go into detail beyond that. My personal guess is a Frozen overlay for the Matterhorn. [source]
After the Avengers E, Tomorrowland is the next big project in the DLR [source]
Tomorrowland redo was changed again due to Lightyear bombing, likely got pulled from D23 due to "Some Other Site" stealing Disney's thunder [source]
Pacific Wharf turning into San Fransokyo. Will include shops, restaurants and a meet and greet, but no attraction. [official]
Pixar Place Hotel officially announced [official]
Wondrous Journeys is back [official]
The Quinjet has morphed into an entirely different ride likely using something like Minions at Universal. King Thanos is the villain. [official]
New version of World of Color [official]
Mandalorian and Grogu coming to Disneyland (and only Disneyland) [official]
Porto's is coming along with other restaurants [official]
There is also a Hulk meet and greet coming to Disneyland that was also announced at D23

EDITED: Big Hero 6 is not a Pixar film

Im hoping this Avengers attraction opens in 2025. Disney might wanna do a new attraction every year kinda thing with Runaway Railway opening next year, Bayou Adventure in 2024 and Avengers in 2025. Three years to develop and build a ride can be a stretch for Disney so most likely 2026 because DCA will have its 25th Anniversary that year.

By the time that Avengers ride opens, the multiverse will be so last year + 2 more years.
