Remember that figure is a MINIMUM over 10 years not a maximum. So they can spend more if the projects they have planned warrant it. For example I sort of expect that a lot of that $1.9B number will be spent on Iger’s pet project of Avatar at DLR. So will need more for other things during that same period.
Lets be honest a majority of that was cancelled due to the pandemic when spending was cut to pretty much zero and just never revived. So I'm not disputing the fact they have cancelled projects previously. Which also has nothing to do with anything we're talking about since no projects have been announced yet as part of DLForward, other than maybe Avatar.As a lifelong Disney fan, I've been burned too many times in the past decade or so by that thought process.
They've proven they are no longer trustworthy or believable, until the day after the bulldozers arrive.
Even if they announce big splashy ideas at D23 Expo this summer, and put snazzy HD artwork on display for people to ooh and ahh over, that's no guarantee any of it will ever get built. They're using the $1.9 Billion figure on purpose, but let's remember all the stuff that Jay Rasulo or Bob Chapek or Josh D'Amaro announced for the American parks at previous D23 Expo, and then was summarily cancelled and forgotten and buried....
New Fantasyland at WDW!
New EPCOT coming to WDW!
Well imo I get the fantasyland letdown but with epcot I'm happier without the table and like the communicore plaza area, Mary Poppins being a spinner would be an ok addition but way off the mark of what a proper mp ride could be and play was just gonna be meh anyways so hopefully something cooler comes out of it insteadAs a lifelong Disney fan, I've been burned too many times in the past decade or so by that thought process.

Indeed.
We have no idea what may happen with The Walt Disney Company in the next few years. In the 90s they got approval to expand Disneyland with a new park and made one of the lamest low budget themeparks ever. There are many factors and throwing money at things isn't always the solution.

Sounds like they're doing everything they can to stay on the up and up, avoiding any obvious appearance of impropriety. I guess some people still remember that Angels deal that didn't go over too well.Ahead of the City Council vote tomorrow, the City of Anaheim has released a notice with an overview and a couple things to keep in mind:
If DisneylandForward were to see approval on Tuesday, a second vote would be required at the Council’s next meeting on May 7. If approved at that time, the proposal would require another 30 days for changes to take effect.
Tuesday’s meeting is expected to see a large number of attendees and public comments.
For planning purposes, the item may come before the Council somewhere around 6 or 7 p.m., with the potential for three hours or more of public comment before the Council itself begins to discuss the item.
