Wouldn’t it be funny if this is where they announced figment 4.0?

Will there be updates on 2025's Projects Tomorrow?

"The Future of World-Building at Disney"

Blue sky it
Announce something else
Budget cut it or cut it completely
Deliver something unlike concept art
Celebrate and hand out bonuses
Ignore attraction uptime issues
Rinse and repeat

Invent cool technology that is only ever used once at an event not open to the public (Fantasyland Dragon, Galaxy's Edge X-Wings) or is locked behind a huge pay wall (Starcruiser lightsabers)

Will there be updates on 2025's Projects Tomorrow?

I’d say we get an announcement about some minor plusing at some of the parks, maybe a slightly more narrow timeline on expected opening/closer dates for current projects and probably a tease of bigger announcements to come at future events (Destination D/ D23)

Holy moly, the PR team that came up with the wording for this drivel had to be confined to a hyperbaric decompression chamber for a couple of hours just to be able to breathe normally again.

 

[wannabeBelle]

A tight pants convention if you will

Absolutely. Zac Efron in HSM Anyone?? https://tenor.com/view/zac-efron-da...utton&utm_medium=Social&utm_content=pinterest

I don’t think we see any new updates or projects announced tomorrow. You’ll be lucky to get a new piece of concept art for something already announced.

I didn’t think they were going to say anything about any upcoming projects until they said something about surprise announcements. So the question is how lame will the surprises be and will they be announcements about parks or studio stuff? I would imagine it’s a mix of both and really lame stuff but we’ll find out tomorrow.

I just want Start Dates! LOL!

You know, that might not be out of the realm of possibility. A lot of pending permits have been straightened out over the last couple months for both WDW and DL. So… maybe?

 

[TTA94]

Like that thing coming to MK this summer lol.

Well Disney are hammering the message out across all their socials so they seem to think they have something worth sharing tomorrow. Should be interesting.

I’ll be happy if they show a sneak peak at the Walt Disney animatronic, which they’ve said will be the most lifelike human figure ever created.

My guess would be a new piece of concept art for Test Track 3.0 with an opening date... eh maybe an opening month, like "September"

Test Track isn't tied to a major studio IP so I doubt they have any interest in showing it off to anyone other than an audience of parks fans

LOL!!!!!! Thanks!

The whole concept of the panel and who is on it, how it's being promoted quite a bit, and especially that interview Disney just posted where the majority of focus is discussing their prior park-based films, really is giving me the tease they might be announcing some new tv/film projects based off their park rides.


And if you've been following you may know what those might be.

So much novel interacive tech that gets shown off, but never makes it into the actual guest experience.

Maybe it's different this time, but the whole spiel about "a company of story tellers" and callbacks to Walt are a tired troupe that has been done many times before and never yielded anything extraordinary for the average guest. (assuming this has anything to do with parks at all)

I hope I'm wrong.

Notice someone who's very absent in this?
Where's Walden? I mean she's the head streaming honcho and former? top contender for CEO.
