Yeah, we'll find out that the return of the pin tables was such a hit that they're being brought back permanently to the Image Works. Applause follows, everyone forgets they're giving up on the rest of EPCOT.

You joke, but that’s kinda what happened at this D23 that just happened (nothing of substance). Maybe they will actually announce something at Destination D23.

at least fill in closed areas such as dinoland and stitch with some kind of attraction

Even if alot of stuff is announced, it wont be done till 2027, there is nothing planned for 2024 2025 2026 outside of moana opening, unless im missing something and thats for 2023.
I could be pedantic and say I’m currently researching a long dead proposal for the pavilion which could technically have a historic link to the poster.
Some have an idea.

Frog Mountain?
You can bet they’ll market it as brand new. For 3 years.

Notice the sidewalk the to WOL pavilion is gone…. It’s very sad. My kid and I went on body wars what could have been the very last time it was open to guests. There was just the two of us in the entire ride vehicle.
If they had a new ride to announce, they'd have announced it because they need something to keep interest up or lose day visits to their main competitor. Or perhaps you missed the announcement by Universal of a brand new theme park up I-4?
I'll take "How Long Can They Milk One Ride" for $1000, Alex.
Tron and Tiana's Salt Mine Adventures. Right now, I have doubts there's anything else concrete that will be announced, let alone built and opened, before 2027. What a dreadful outlook.

It's really a shame that not only do they not want to build new attractions, but they also shutter entire pavilions to reduce costs or maybe it is because they are simply creatively bankrupt.

They gotta stop this. They talk about the possibility of things that never happen.
They gotta take a page out of the Universal playbook, don't say anything until after you are ACTUALLY building something.

I tend to give them a pass for some things they announced before Covid and cancelled, but it's hard to take them too seriously with the Blue Sky stuff, which is exactly your point.
Now that Phineas & Ferb has a new series order, why not just put Agent P WSA back in Epcot and then use the newly-created Ducktales figs and that Ducktales game thing that was going into PLAY! as the bones of an entirely new attraction. Doesn't tie into EPCOT but it'd still be an addition.
Think PLAY! Pavilion is done? I wonder if they'll be using it's interactive elements elsewhere.

Probably not...I imagine Covid has severely limited their desire for touchables. But I know nothing lol

Pre Covid they were going to jam people in there with high touch surfaces and screens. I assume like each of their arcades, there'd be a bunch of things down at any given time requiring tech support to restart or fix. I'm honestly glad they canned it as the Pavilion would be better suited with almost anything else.
I think this is good news as well. Hopefully it will be something space related. Maybe a planetarium or something would be cool imo. I'd love that entire side to be outerspace themed but test track would prob cost a ton to remake into like a lunar rover indoor attraction. I'm just spit balling here

true I almost forget about that retheme, although thats not going to add any capacity compared to whats there today. And compared to universal or what we should expect from Disney to me isnt nearly enough.
