I can’t “like” that since it has the cockwomble that is Clarkson in it. But I appreciate the sentiment.

“Cockwomble” ? Is that like a negative slam of pen1s?

I wonder if they'll use the tech they are using on the new Cruise Ship. I saw a part where it looks like you're going around an icy cavern.

That site we don't mention says "cancelled or scaled back and won't be mentioned at D23". Any of you real insiders hear anything?

Sounds like it's time to roll in more planters.

Not an insider, but this doesn't sound like a stretch
It takes zero insider information to know this.
The landscaping in front of PLAY! hasn't even been started. And WDW has been having trouble with staffing, so, you can't have a M&G hall if you don't have staff for it. Also, Omicron variants. Also, it's not the type of attraction that will bring in more guests or provide an opportunity for an upsell.
The list of things that won't be announced at D23 for the parks is much, much longer than the things that will be announced.
Everybody needs to tamper expectations for D23.
True insiders have already told or hinted at the things they know. And the timing of the announcement of the things they know is a moving target controlled by Marketing, of which, they have few to no contacts.

Not surprised honestly, I have seen no progress in a long time
If this surprisingly doesn't get canned, I think it would have to be scaled down to just a few games and meet and greets with special Disney friends that aren't Mickey, Minnie, & Goofy(even if WDW treats their character meets since the Animation building's closure at DHS like "we don't get the newest animated characters out from the latest movie, we have the same variety")
So much for Animation Academy's return(other than the Planet Watch's Animation Experience at Animal Kingdom)

Ideally they're reconsidering the whole pavilion because they've realized it could be something far more substantive.
I'd rather have it closed for a few more years and eventually open as something potentially excellent than be the Play! Pavilion for 15+ years.

Aaaand Wonders of Life remains abandoned for another 10+ years lets go.
I smelled something fishy when they blocked the building with new trees.

They're obviously putting a pause on this to rethink the name for the pavilion and decide on it..
Supposed choices so far are..

Again, where those new trees are is not where the entrance is supposed to be, according to the concept art. They were going to move it to the right of the original location. Not saying it’s not on hold, but the trees aren’t really indicative of that.

Maybe reconsidering the whole Wakanda idea for the pavilion?

I heard they were leaning towards “Press PLAY on your remote to continue watching your favorite content on Disney+”

I wouldn't be surprised if this were to come to pass. They could finally finish the Avengers E-ticket and clone the ride tech at Epcot with a different video and preshow, add a walk-through "Wakanda to Earth" experience, interactive kind of like Innoventions, add a QSR and maybe TSR. They have the room, lets get building!
