Either way this goes, We should bully buisness executives more often. They deserve it. I do wonder though what the potential future of grand avenue is. Cant sit like this forever.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

The space doesn’t need much - just reopen the closed shops and meet and greets to make the land a bit more alive.

2 years since Dinoland was announced to close, 1 year since Tropical Americas was announced. Not to be confused with 3 years
If Monsters is supposed to start construction next year, this is the first and only D23 they could announce Monsters. Same with Cars and potentially Villains. Especially if they have to announce the demolition of an attraction

I don’t know. It could easily share a kitchen with a Harryhausen’s (unless they don’t think the park needs a new TSR and just convert it and rework the entrance).
It is so frustrating that for anything new at WDW something guest facing has to be torn down.
They have an expansion pad next to RNR with access to Sunset that could easily be used.

Get a couple Muppets out there for meet and greets and traffic will pick up. I'd line up to meet Sweetums for sure. And they've still got that Dr. Benson Honeydew and Beeker roaming animatronic from Epcot sitting around somewhere, right? Put it to use in DHS.

I never said three years. The last three D23 events - 2022, 2023, and now 2024.
I hate to bring them in to this, but Universal demos attractions and doesn't announce a replacement until later. I'd say that method helps build the hype.

It’s hard to have hype for attractions opening so long after the movies. Monsters inc. was 23 years ago!!!!
The only Pixar movies that seem timeless to me are Toy Story and Ratatouille. That’s a personal feeling only of course.
AC is a wasteland. It’s good that it is going. And I’m sure that space will be used soon. I do wonder what happens to the old mgm studio arch potentially. Knocked down?

It’s only a wasteland because Disney let it become a wasteland though.
That area should be tied into one man’s dream and be a large animation experience similar to the one in California with the drawing academy etc.
But yes, as it is now, we are losing nothing.

Surely they could still use the arch? Theme it differently on each side. Like they did between Adventure Land and Frontier Land.

Didn't say that you said 3 years. I said that 3 D23s shouldn't be confused for 3 years, especially as it's only been a year since the words "Tropical Americas" were mentioned by Disney
The only issue with Universal's approach is when they close an attraction before their ready for construction. Sinbad and Poseidon could probably still be operating if Universal hadn't kept changing their mind about a replacement
Yet, Disney does have a habit of announcing projects too in advance, but a year before construction isn't too bad for Monsters. I think this year's D23 was also them announcing most of their plans for the next 5 years as their "unofficial response" to Universal (Epic, Texas, UK?) The next D23 in 2026 would probable have more details on what was announced rather than have many new announcements.
DJ and LM are unrealized or unused capacity.

Actually what of Club 33? That's part of both buildings since it was the Catwalk Bar. Obviously it's not going away but C33 in the middle would probably make construction interesting.

I wonder if they will leave Mermaid and OMD dumping out into Monstropolis or somehow rework the exits of both:
