Oh got it! I know the site but not the name behind it.
This is what I expected as well.

They could have, but I’m believing they’re saving it for another time. It’s very possible that a Tomorrowland re-do is years and years away from opening. If that’s the case, then I can understand why they wouldn’t announce it now.
Wasn’t it announced randomly on Twitter lol? I remember Josh hinting at it on social media, then it was announced the same day on Disney Parks Blog.

I think we got the longer end of the stick here. We got the better deal, even though it’s not that much better. Still, it’s better.
We are still the favorite child.
Meh I’d say equal. Basically both DLR and WDW are getting two new nighttime shows next year. Remains to be seen if MKs Happily Ever After returns as it was or new version. I guess Magic Happens returning makes DLR slightly better.
Nighttime parade wise? I guess no MSEP or PTN in 2023? Big unanswered question.

Or maybe they've learned their lesson not to put stuff out there because of the backlash when things don't happen or change.

I mean how on earth did we not get a treehouse update.

Well, apparently they’re in the Blue Sky phase still so I obviously can’t answer that but I think it’s inferred since Josh said the announcement would cause us to feel uneasy.
Considering DINOSAUR is literally the only thing worth holding onto in that area, I can’t see why they’d say this if it wasn’t on the chopping block. I sincerely doubt if they were removing just the cheap carnival area, anyone would care. I know I wouldn’t. I just love dinosaurs in general and want them to be represented in the park in some way. I think many children and adults would agree with that notion.
If they kept DINOSAUR and got rid of everything else, I wouldn’t bat an eye. Have at it and build away.

Oh haha you could be right. It might have been a just parks blog post.

Great:
Portos
WDW shows being removed
Good:
WoC Replacement
Neutral:
Sanfrantokyo
New Fireworks
Weird:
Kevin Fiege on Stage
John Favreau on Stage
Awful and Awkward:
The "brainstorming" concepts that are real but not real that somehow took what seemed like a half hour of time with awful dialogue.
Most Brutal:
The Figment Fakeout
Biggest Loser:
Tie between WDW fans who wasted time watching this and DL fans that were convinced Tommorowland was getting an overhaul
Biggest Winner:
Me because I like portos and I dislike the 50th WDW shows, can't wait to see them gone and can't wait to grab a box of pastries on our way out of Disneyland.

I agree with this except for the new fireworks show. I’d put that under “Good” at least. I’m not a big fan of DL Forever
WDW:
-Hatbox Ghost, which we’ve had for six years now
-Figment
-new nighttime show for Epcot
-return of HEA
-a bunch of Blue Sky stuff that may or may not happen
DLR:
-meet & greets, one of them being an exclusive Mando and Grogu one for SW:GE
-new Avengers ride (lack of details, but still)
-San Fransokyo replacing Pacific Wharf at DCA
-Porto’s (best news of the day, without doubt)
-Magic Happens, which is essentially still new, returning
-new World of Color show
-new firework show
I wouldn’t call this equal at all lol, but one thing is true: there is disappointment coming from fans on both coasts.
I can also see this being the case.
Now that some time has passed, I’m no longer disappointed about the lack of Tomorrowland announcements.

Somewhere at DTD not exactly sure where. Am I wrong to assume that there may actually be shorter lines here than other locations due to the amount of other options in the vicinity?

Somewhere in Downtown Disney. I'm guessing more towards the DL hotel...perhaps they bulldoze the ESPN building or if they close Tortilla Joe's, maybe there?

For the nighttime show at Epcot, are they taking out the barges or just a new show utilizing them? I don't think I picked that up OR they didn't clarify.
It’s also possible that Tomorrowland will be a 70th anniversary present, which is three years away. If we are getting stuff for the 70th anniversary, I definitely wouldn’t expect any lip about it now.
Lots of potential reasons why nothing was mentioned about Tomorrowland.

They really didn’t talk about it much. I just heard something about a new show coming. To be fair, I tuned out for most of the WDW announcements, so it’s possible I missed something.

In line for the Amazon booth (spin the wheel, get something relatively expensive!) so caught up in the thread/can answer questions from in the room I guess. One thing to note: the Enchantment mention from Josh laughably got silence from the room, completely iced him.
More confused than anything. Heard lots of “huh?” in the audience.
The treats we got leaving the panel (mango cookie, churro croissant, and cheese roll!) were easily the most substantive things we got the entire panel.
I love Porto’s. The treats would have made me happy.
Their cheese rolls are good, but their guava cheese rolls…yummy in my tummy. I need to try this churro croissant, sounds tasty.
