What will Disney announce for Disney World at the 2022 D23 expo?

I would argue those were necessary and beneficial. Both attractions had popularity and demand that drastically overpowered their capacities. Adding new attractions to those parks would have been great but it wouldn’t have fixed that problem. Guests at Epcot don’t suddenly stop wanting to ride Soarin’ just because they can now ride Ratatouille.
Depends on the theories of guest decision-making you subscribe to. It's very complex, and I do vacillate back and forth on what the right decisions are often. I do think you had compounding problems in both of those parks where those were the only E-ticket attractions added to these parks on either side of what? 7 years or something like that? WDW expansion in the Iger era was almost exclusively reactive: attempting to address the capacity crisis of a park, locking down a third party rights agreement after losing the Potter rights, adding capacity to existing attractions instead of planning new experiences, and wrapping up with the Galaxy's Edge expansion being a complete clone of the Anaheim version for a park that, to the surprise of no one who has followed the development of DHS, was woefully inadequate to handle the marginal demand to get in that gate.

The construction of DAK was the last proactive effort to grow the Florida project, which makes sense, because that was the last time proactive leadership had the necessary understanding of what the division is, and the power to convert that understanding into action.

I'm in for more prehistoric theming. Even the ice age would be good, but I don't mean the movie lol.

They should also update Soarin' to "Soarin' through Time" and then you could go back in time and fly around roaming dinosaurs, packs of mammoths, etc. No more fake Taj Mahal.

I said it looks dated, not that they should remove Marvel from the parks entirely. Spider-Man is obviously one of the best attractions in Orlando, and the Hulk is wildly popular as well. I’m aware of the contract, but I don’t see this as an excuse to leave this area untouched in the next few decades. The need to update Marvel Superhero Island theming isn’t as dire as, say, Toon Lagoon, but it could certainly use a significant refresh. Oversized cardboard cutouts don’t elevate the theming of this area for me, ymmv.

RE: Disney I’m not a fan of Avengers Campus & you won’t find me comparing it favorably to Marvel Superhero Island. MSI has the superior ride lineup but it’s still an eyesore imo and again, “Disney’s Marvel-themed land is lackluster” is ALSO not an excuse for Universal to let it rot untouched for the foreseeable future.

But on that note, I have no issue with the ToT to Mission Breakout retheme & was never especially concerned about the same overlay coming to DHS, since WDW has the blessing of size DLR lacks. Love Cosmic Rewind but as others have said, it doesn’t belong in Epcot, so this isn’t a 100% win in my book either.
I was a huge fan of avengers campus. It just needs the e ticket to be fully complete.

Eh it’s just eye candy. Substance is weak from what I have seen. I obviously haven’t gone since it’s been 3ish years now since I have given disney parks money.
you don't think one of the reasons it lacks substance is because there is no anchoring attraction to tie the land together?

I think the spiderman attraction is great but it shouldn't be the main ride. There were so many small details in the land. Pyms restaurant was delicious and themed impeccably. The sanctum looks great at night with its lighting. The show they put on is fun. It just needs the e-ticket.

Obviously but I feel like they put so much effort into how things look period…..look at galaxy’s edge….it looks amazing but there’s really not much to do unless I want to spend additional money. The forest area near rise is also very….empty. I also can’t really count a ride half of the day guests won’t get to ride as some substance 😂

Look at pandora I love FOP and I also love the look of pandora but there’s not much else to do? The second ride is trash tier and the land looks good but again just ok now what do I do?

I wouldn’t call it trash tier it has some neat effects but like most things the budget got slashed and we ended up with a meh ok attraction. Avatarland could use something else I just don’t know what that would be unless you could do a coaster with that type of theming

What about something underwater since the new movies are all water based.
