Predictions! Secret WDC Project — August 22 @ D23

[pdude81]

I hear it's not related to parks, products, or services - it's more of a feel-good thing for employees and the company.

Taco Tuesday confirmed!

I suspect this was a typo, but I think Disney will announce D24... it’s just like D23, but it costs twice as much!

No, I meant that they'd actually spend time in D23 promoting D24's cupcake party. Lol. Kind of like a DVC kiosk right in the middle of your vacation.

News reports say a new airline is highly unlikely to be the secret Disney project. So it's more likely that they'll announce they'll be looking at acquiring tech companies like Nickelodeon, EA, Netflix and Feld Entertainment or something related to Bob Iger's retirement in 2021.

Star Wars hotel details reveal?

It’s a pay rise then?

Or free cupcakes on a Friday for all “eligible” CMs.

Or a new recognition award / system.

Holding out hope that it's a revival of Up with People, called Up with People+ / Up with People Forever / Up with People's Reflections.

What / when was that? Obviously a recognition thing from the name.

Higher Up with People
Up with People Ever After

They came to my elementary school when I was very, VERY young! Was that really Disney?!?

They were sorta like evangelicals but from the secular church of feel-good-can't-we-all-just-get-along-humanism. Great tunes and movies, I must say. Veeerrrry 70s.

I had one of the LPs! Didn't think it was Disney, though. Maybe Len is hoping the organization is still around and will be acquired by Disney, ha! As my kid would say ... cringey!

JJ and Bad Robot signed an overall deal at Warner Brothers.

Disney buying Warner Media, confirmed!

Yeah, Up with People definitely wasn't Disney.

 

[ImperfectPixie]

Yeah, Up with People definitely wasn't Disney.

Even though I was only maybe 7 or 8...I remember that the whole thing felt kind of "off". I didn't realize until I was much older that that feeling was "cult-ish".

 

[larryz]

Oh, thanks a lot... now I've got that stupid song stuck in my head...

Guess what? They're still around, and one of their songs is ... not kidding ... "Guardians of the Universe"

For at least one summer in the 1980s, there was an Up With People show at Sea World San Diego. I saw it several times, unfortunately

"1 MONORAIL CONNECTING ALL 4 PARKS!" because they've upgraded every other road way and piece of infrastructure on property, and even built the Skyway which would be a lot more practical if it connected to an expanded Monorail at the Studios... and are building a bridge to connect the Grand Floridian to Magic Kingdom, which would be a access point for people staying at the GF to get to an expanded Monorail System... they would new to move the Transportation Ticket Center inside the MK parking lot, but luckily the MK parking lot is currently under construction

Why not go all the way? Monorail connecting all Disney Parks around the entire world!
