Lol at those folks that went to th live action panel instead of the parks panel....

Gondola (formally "Skyliner")

 

[Legacy]

Well... shoot. I haven't been to Disney since, like, 2010? They hadn't added anything that me and the wife were excited to make a trip for. Telling her about these D23 announcements, she succinctly said, "Once the Star Wars hotel opens, we are absolutely going."

Good job, Disney. You got us.

New DHS name coming?

 

[Freak]

Pixar Play Parade is now at Disneyland……yay?

New DHS name coming?

Nah. They would've announced it by now.

Everybody seemed pretty excited about paint the night returning.

 

[WAJAS]

I bet the new flex theater at MK replaces Tony's and the Mickey/Tinkerbelle meet and great. Where else would it go?

 

[Freak]

Paradise Pier becoming Pixar Pier.

Eh.

 

[Scott W.]

Please don't close Carsland for the switchover.

 

[Freak]

OH SNAP HERE COMES THE MARVEL ANNOUNCMENT OMG!!!!

All they said was…."we're expanding Marvel! That's it!" Okay. I guess We'll have to wait for ComicCon.

Didnt, get a good quality grab of the Epcot Bluesky concept - but here's what i did grab.

Looks like the trees and new water features of Project Gemini for Future World.

Summary of announcements:
WDW: Mickey Mouse dark ride, Rat, Guardians, Space restaurant, Gondolas, Tron.

DL: Screw you. We're retheming Paradise Pier.

I really hope they release more details on Marvel at SDCC, because I feel a bit slighted as a DL local.

The Innoventions buildings essentially dont exist.

 

[Scott W.]

That was something special. For the first time in a long time, I'm feeling that Disney magic again.

 

[GadgetGuru]

I never thought I'd see the day where I'd refresh Twitter several times a minute and keep seeing new announcements.

Good time to be a fan.

You had it in the past with the DCA expansion and the fix. Bout time TDO opened the purse strings. Guess I buy my pass in about 3 - 5 years.

 

[Brian G.]

That seriously should make Universal really reconsider the whole "Holding announcements to the chest" plan they've been doing.

Disney just established the line.

So.. no idea what the Energy ride is - but it keeps the main building and solar panels and side columns - the front fountain gets reworked to be a sort of display with a see-through aspect which looks nice.

Can't tell if it's the coaster everyone wants or not.

The Space Restaurant seems to actually be inside of Wonders. It said "next to M:S" and so it pretty much can't exist anywhere else and in the BlueSky art Wonders is still there.

Also: They mentioned there was more to come for World Showcase. Woot woot.

Edit: I think the Mainstreet theater is in the bypass.
