I'm thinking today's news might change December 7th a tad. Or at least I'm hoping so. Some surprises would be nice for a change, as opposed to all of us Disney nerds knowing everything ahead of time.
maybe not just an attraction. but a landI think you're right on point with this! I can't imagine they wouldn't have some kind of attraction planned around this deal. Sheeezee I'm flabbergasted right now.
Perhaps Avatar and Carsland on December 7th, Star Wars land at the D23 Expo?well there is that little bit about people expecting NEW NEWS at D23, not old news. Dress to impress.. not disappoint with a secret that is over 10 months old.
still think carsland will happen now?Perhaps Avatar and Carsland on December 7th, Star Wars land at the D23 Expo?
At this point I have no idea.still think carsland will happen now?
And how are you so sure about that? Besides John Lasseter said he hope it does come to DHS.Cars Land is cancelled. John Lasster will be pleased
I met John Lasseter today at Epcot. He and his wife are doing beverage seminars for their winery as part of the Food and Wine Festival. You can meet him yourself if you go to the Festival Center where he should be signing bottles of wine (priced at $30 - $ 50), taking pictures, and answering questions from 3pm - 3:30pm on the 17th. They sell the wine directly for $24 - $40 so pricing isn't ridiculous. The seminar is from 2pm - 2:45pm and anyone can watch in the back, though space has long since sold out. He talks mostly about wine, but adds in some stories about Walt, Disneyland, etc.
Anyway, I asked him, "So is Cars Land coming to Florida?" His response was, "I sure hope so."
Take from that what you will. He also talked for a brief moment about New Fantasyland, which he was not aware was open to guests yet.
One final point of note is word that the Harry Potter attraction will possibly now span both the Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios. Rumor is that discussions are underway considering the possibility of a blending of the two parks to allow for this larger Wizarding World of Harry Potter area (and possibly eliminating the Jaws ride)
Considering how aggressive Comcast is being with the Universal parks, I think it's very realistic that Avatar, Cars, and Lucas get represented in the parks in the next 5 years. There are also several other possibilities for Epcot, and to a lesser extent Magic Kingdom as well. It seems that so much is being discussed right now that Disney just has to make decisions (or publicize decisions that have already been made).
I do agree with this. But I don't think any of this wil be announced(at a push Carsland or maybe new details on this supposed avatar land). With Star Wars remember, only a few officials knew of this deal so immagineering had no time to do anything. If a star wars land or Lucas land will open i would expect this to be announced at D23 expo 2015. As for December 7th I'm just holding my breath to see what new designs of benches they've got![]()

What are the odds Star Wars attraction is talked about.....Disney needs to make a huge splash and continue the momentum
