Predictions! Secret WDC Project — August 22 @ D23

[tparris]

You can roll your eyes but what I've been saying has continually turned out to be true. So that's fine. I warned there were delays and issues a while back ago before anyone else did

...except you’ve been telling us about the delays AFTER everyone finds out...

 

[thenerdbaker]

This announcement was rushed to the table in response to something outside the company. They don't want to announce something massive and then backtrack on it later.

Darn Universal trying to goad them into knee jerk reactions.

Whether or not what you say has been true or not, it's comments like "I told you guys... there are issues. I can't say what. Well I could, but I won't" that make me roll my eyes. Cool, you're in the know. Stick to stating facts and less about lording over that you know what the issues are.

If they reveal it, it'll make sense. If they don't, I'll say what it was going to be.

If you’ll say it if they don’t announce it, why not say it now?

Oh wait.

So it IS Greenland?

MOS...

 

[DCBaker]

Not for nothing but he/she hasn’t done anything wrong on here yet. I wouldn’t call them a troll.

A lot of wild claims this week so we will see soon enough. They were right about missing 8:00.

You must have missed this..

Just one question: where is Troy Porter in all of this mess?

He's doing the presentation, of course.

 

[Notes from Neverland]

Disney backed themselves into a corner with this one. Unless the announcement is truly enormous, people will mock the whole "secret announcement" hype. There are very few scenarios where this will play out without disappointment and social media heat.

Considering this was added to the schedule the day after Universal's new park announcement. Not sure how this is a surprise to anyone at TWDC considering Universal buying the land for a new park was the worst kept secret in the industry...

Tom Holland has just tweeted that's he's very excited to play the new Marvel superhero Man-Spider and thanks Disney for the opportunity.

 

[ToTBellHop]

So it IS Greenland?

Yes. Five parks will be built at once in Disneyland Greenland.

 

[ChrisM]

So it IS Greenland?

It’s treason then...

 

[thenerdbaker]

So it IS Greenland?

They are backtracking and trying to make a deal with Iceland now. Waiting on the approval.

 

[GhostHost1000]

Oh this is getting good. Where’s my refillable magical popcorn bucket

Either this is gonna be good or they are announcing something like new paint on Swiss family Robinson’s tree

They'll also get mocked if it's pulled last minute, so at this point just click send on the press release so we can all start ridiculing them and their PR team.

Cold Feet.... this confirms what i was suspecting.... they were/are going to announce that Mickey is FINALLY going to marry Minnie... and the ceremony is Saturday.

This makes sense. Even Marvel had cold feet about Peter Parker marrying Mary-Jane Watson (I mean, come on, Parker was way outside of his league there, there shouldn't have been any doubt he was going to marry her) and ended up erasing history.

Can't do that with Mickey + Minnie.

Another fun random guess - could have something to do with looming copyright expiration

The Danish prime minister was nasty to Trump because she already sold it to Disney.
