I know Disney wants Moana in every park, but I missed that one for the MK.

If I were a betting man (and I am lol) my money would be on Moana in AL being the big announcement for D23 2026 when it comes to WDW announcements--plus more information on stores/restaurants/rides for Villains Land
Construction should be well underway on Monsters Inc and Cars, so probably opening "years" for those as well.
Genuinely baffling to me that, with the new Moana movie and Polynesian Tower coming out this winter, that they didn’t prioritize new Moana attraction at MK over new Cars ride…but maybe they’re trying to time the release of a new Moana attraction with the 3rd or 4th movie in the series…or the next DVC tower on the monorail loop?
I think GMR was a joke tbh. No way they’d bring back GMR, and in EPCOT no less. It just makes no logical sense with how Disney parks are run. Also, it was in a general discussion thread, not a rumor thread, if that means anything. Like others have said, mix of truth and jokes imo. I think we all might’ve gotten carried away yesterday.

If Moana is a beloved IP, which I firmly believe it is, then it really doesn't matter when it opens.
I don't think the parks need to time things opening based on movies, or shows etc. etc. If they are beloved then they will work whenever they open.
Look at Monsters Inc., Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Winnie the Pooh, Snow White, Tiana, Finding Nemo... the list goes on and on, but the point I'm trying to make is these are all IP presences in the parks that came well after their movies came out.

They are going to re-unite for that?

I've kept my mouth shut, but I do believe that the majority of "insiders" on our beloved forums these days are just aggregators of different rumors they heard on the Internet who are trying to build up a reputation for themselves as an "Insider" for attention. Being a "Disney Insider" is a whole occupation for a lot of people these days (see YouTube).
It's a whole new generation compared to Martin and others who have been here for decades with solid track records, verified inside connections and a deliberate tendency to avoid attention.
how do you fit a whole land into an air conditioning unit?

Great Movie Ride was originally planned for EPCOT in the 80s. I think there's about a 0% chance any version of it is ever built there now.

Unless GMR means an IP-ification of SSE. But I don't think they're that stupid+Henry said before that SSE 5.0 won't be an IP fest.
btw Henry's track record is solid as stone, nobody should genuinely bet against him, one quick look at his post history and you can see he has not had one miss yet (things like adventureland Moana and DAK TLK have been backed up by others, those are not misses since he never said specifically they'd be at D23).

I enjoyed this comment. You might say I'm a big fan.

By all accounts Frozen Ever After in Hong Kong (and soon to be Paris) still has an extra minute and depth to the scenes that EPCOT doesn't have. With that said, the updated ride was rendered antiquated almost immediately when Tokyo opened.
Bringing this back to Monstropolis, my suspicion is that Muppets is the target because they don't need as much space for this. Animation Courtyard opens up a larger area of land that is likely earmarked for something else. Pure speculation on this, but there are rumors that Universal may be moving on from Marvel Super Hero Island, could this be pre-emptively set aside for an Avengers Campus?
These jokes are heating up now.I enjoyed this comment. You might say I'm a big fan.

There have also been test ballons around the Muppets area. Those also appeared behind the old ITTAB building not too long before it was shuttered for AC. Thats the giveaway IMO to it being Muppets.

Are you exclusively speculating or are you actually privy to all these things you are scatter shot saying?
Because you sure are stringing everyone along like it’s the latter. Then you made posts to say it was the former, which completely raised my eyebrow, because that’s not how you were presenting yourself for months… now you’ve started doing it again.
Not a repacking of things you’ve heard on the internet, podcasts or think makes sense
I have no trouble with speculation. I do it, heck I’ve even gotten some things right that go heavily against the current rumour mill. I could pretend those were more than my deductions… But I’ve never mislead people where those thoughts are coming from. From me. There’s clearly a whole lot of people who think your thoughts are actually coming from internal sources, they’ve already chimed in confused.
I just want to know what is speculation and what is something actually unique. If it’s a mix of both, please be more clear what is what.

I think it's obvious by now that nothing is real. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that this is an elaborate and subtle hint that a Strawberry Fields pavilion is coming to Epcot.

No disrespect, but this kind of response is the problem. You made a big deal a few weeks ago about how transparency from insiders (or “insiders”) is vital, and here you’re doing the complete opposite. Having legitimate information is totally different from just guessing based on trends. The fact that you’re obfuscating makes me think you’re just throwing things at a wall — which is fine! It’s just very mixed messaging.
