The execs absolutely don’t consider fans in those terms - and, frankly, most fans will just forget anyway, especially if Disney dangles the next shiny object in front of them and just “delays” the project indefinitely rather then cancelling. Villains was trotted out in the same “blue sky” manner as Coco beyond BTM in 2022. Villains was in the same segment in 2022, not coincidentally.

I respectfully disagree. I can't not see it happening.

Can’t we be a little rational and admit they’ll build all of these areas?

But, we will hate them all.
If anyone tries positivity:

I wouldn’t hate it if they spare Muppets and put Monsters in the launch bay.

Hey it’s Friday AND we are in the new fiscal quarter for TWDC, do we think they are going to sneak in an announcement later today?

I mean, we can look at the facts.
  • 2022 - Coco, Encanto and Villains were announced as Blue Sky plans for Beyond Big Thunder. Moana and Zootopia as Blue Sky plans to replace Dinoland
  • 2023 - Tropical Americas was the new Blue Sky plans for Dinoland's replacement, with Encanto and Indiana Jones. Beyond Big Thunder was mentioned as still in development with nothing set in stone
  • 2024 - Tropical Americas is officially confirmed to be happeneing, opening in 2027. Cars in Frontierland and Villains Land are officially confirmed to be open by 2029. These projects are no longer Blue Sky

in our own minds, yes, but Disney continues to tell us they don't care what we want....

Yeah, I disagree with that assessment. If they didn't care, they would never have announced it in the first place. It's clearly fan service, as is the Monsters Inc. door coaster.

In any case, we'll all know in a few (or maybe more than a few!) years' time whether it'll happen. I'll readily acknowledge my mistake if I turn out to be wrong.

I wouldn't call any of those nearly as big a deal. A Villains-based land or park has been the holy grail among fans for years now.

Has it really, though?

I mean, maybe it has. I don't follow any kind of Disney fan social media (or listen to podcasts about Disney, watch YouTube about Disney, etc.), so I'm far from being the most plugged in regarding stuff like that -- but I don't remember seeing/hearing much about it until it was floated as a possibility a couple of years ago.

I'm admittedly ambivalent about it, though. I'd rather see individual villains used in attractions that tie into their IP. I have a hard time imagining a Villains land that doesn't either feel like a strange mishmash or like it's really themed to one specific IP with other villains just randomly scattered in, especially since it's just one land with a couple of attractions. It's not something I'm especially excited about.

Definitely. I’ve never been a Villains guy but I think the love/desire has been there for a long time, especially post-Oogie Boogie Bash.

I edited my post, but I honestly think it's going to be disappointing compared to whatever hopes people have for it. And I'm not saying that because I think Disney will go cheap or whatever -- I just don't see it as a great concept for a land. Disney's villains have no real connection to one another and come from wildly different settings.

It feels like the kind of thing that sounds great as an abstract idea in people's heads, but when it comes to actually designing and building it, well... that's a different story.

All it needs to be is a vibes-land, really. Something like a dark/spooky Fantasy Springs would please most people.
