Predictions! Secret WDC Project — August 22 @ D23

[jaxonp]

Common sense is expecting something exciting out of the term "Secret Project." lol

Yea but listen to those select posters who know it all... lol.. you should have controlled your expectations..

If this is it, it’s not a secret project. It’s an unannounced project. Lots of things people don’t know about aren’t secrets. Lots of things that aren’t announced aren’t secret. They knew what they were doing and why? To sell some more books?

Disney is getting good at being underwhelming.

The irony is that this isn't going to get more people to watch it - it's just going to become a running joke (which is the last thing this company needs after the week it has had). Like Disney, you LITERALLY have a Disney+ panel.

5 years from now this will be an example in a marketing textbook.

It is, cobble stone streets, brickwork structures, small green spaces everywhere, canals the best chocolate with no preservatives. gorgeous place

a place that must be visited, and Amsterdam is just a short boat, train or drive away
oh and almost forgot waffles must have the fresh waffles on a stick dipped in Belgium chocolate

I was supposed to go in February, but my trip was affected by the strikes in Belgium Still got to be in Brussels for a day though

I once brought about $300 worth of chocolate back from Brugges. The woman at the specialty store asked me when we were leaving. She probably thought that if I stayed any longer, she could buy a boat.

Y'all blaming us for being excited about a "Secret Project" being a Disney+ TV show and book (and a basic one at that) when they literally already HAVE a Disney+ panel is truly ludicrous.

I don't care where the subsequent panel is held or who said what - you don't announce a secret project and not live up to at least SOME hype.

 

[Goodeone]

I had no expectations (other than being nearly 100% sure it was going to be unrelated to the parks, which I guess was wrong to an extent). I just think Disney intentionally put this out there in a way they knew would lead people to overreact and expect something huge, and I have no idea why they would do that because it just makes people mad (as you can see from the reactions here). It doesn't make any sense.

If this really was the original intent, then I agree that they definitely wanted to try to bring extra attention to this, but they should have realized fans would run too far with it. A better title for the "secret" panel would have been "Unannounced Disney+ Series Preview" or something along those lines. That would have helped guide/temper some expectations while still building some hype towards the goodwill they're hoping to gain with this series.

Having this as a purchasable book is just a straight up bad idea.

The price of the book varies between $109 to $129 per day depending on the exact date you intend to read it.

Or perhaps just spoke about it at the Disney+ panel.

Parks panel should be good. Lol.

Parks panel: now announcing a new disney + series on the parks no further announcements thank you goodnight

 

[The real rescueranger]

Hahahahahaaaa! This is so Disney! I was right. This was just a big old ploy to try to steal a little of Universal's thunder. However, it ended up backfiring by ticking people off. I had very low expectations but even I was disappointed in this announcement. A story about employees? Really? Just about anything else would have been better.

That would be amazing... you have to subscribe to Disney+ and watch a multitude of series over the next 6 months to find out what's coming to the parks.

Alrighty - back to being hyped about HHN 29!

 

[Ismael Flores]

I was supposed to go in February, but my trip was affected by the strikes in Belgium Still got to be in Brussels for a day though

sorry to hear that, you must go back. It is one of my favorite places. If you ever go to France also plan a day in Mont Saint Michel amazing town of 55 people on an Island with amazing views

 

[HMFan999]

I think the fact that this thread has me more excited about Brugges than the docu-series, I already can't remember the name of, really sums up this experience perfectly. Good night folks, I'm also available for birthday parties and Bar Mitzvahs.

 

[Irish_Mike]

Back in March.

 

[SweetDuffy101]

Alright nothing to see here , Lets just talk about something else like HHN, or Magic kingdom not Having nighttime parade for the 50th anniversary

 

[Brer Oswald]

What are you guys complaining about? This is huge news for people following the Mike Snyder bombshell from the beginning of the week. I for one am really looking forward to the chapter @TP2000 wrote for this book.

On the other hand, they didn’t contact me to contribute at all. I have some phone calls to make.

In protest of this nonsense, I'm not going to D23 this weekend. I mean, I wasn't going anyway, but now I'm DEFINITELY not going (unless someone needs a plus one, in which case I'm totally there!)
