I really hope they'll announce the Marvel land that's due for DCA. It would be nice to confirm some rumors.

Section 1: Looking to the Stars
You'd begin automatically on one of the most anticipated elements of the convention, remind people that there will be a section on the show-floor that will reveal the entire design of the land for both coasts, along with a reminder of the Star Tours addition coming in the winter; but announce that it'd be arriving for Paris and Tokyo as-well.
You would then allow a representive of Lucasfilm and WDI to come up and talk a bit more of the land; revealing the official name and giving a first look for the Battle attraction; and that it'd confirm that Daisy Ridley and John Boyega would have a role on the attraction.
At the end of the video of the Battle Attraction, the new name to replace DHS is there along with Disneyland Park.
Section 2: Traveling around the World
This would be a moment for Disney to talk a bit more of talk for stuff like DCL, Adventures By Disney and what-not, but that they would also talk about the new Soarin coming to DisneySea and Ratatouille for Epcot. I do think Ratatouille is going to be announced, and that I don't think it'll take as much time.
Section 3: A realm of Fantasy
You would talk more about the upcoming expansion for Tokyo Disneyland, giving a new brief glimpse to the Fantasyland expansion, along with that there would be an announcement for the potential Inside Out attraction that'd replace Figment.
There would also be a new look of Toy Story Land; along with an official release date/window for the land, along with a new look of the Slinky Dog coaster.
And, if the Mickey Mouse Great Movie Ride replacement is still happening; I can see it announced along this section.
Section 4: A Marvelous Future
This would be the final part of the conference, as it would announce multiple Marvel-related projects for all Disney parks world-wide.
You would have the Ant-Man HKDL attraction represented, as it will be the next one up; Mission Breakout is announced for Studios Paris; DCA Marvel Land is officially announced; and Guardians of the Galaxy is officially announced for Epcot, but nothing else is officially announced about it.
Kevin Feigue and Joe Rhode would be up on-stage, to talk about the new projects under-way for across the globe; re-affirming their stance on that "Theme-Park Verse" that they talked about.
from what i heard this year will focus on star-wars.both trying to build hype for the movies games and the new land.Also ea will be at d23 this year.
Just to add onto that: Gondolas.
Yes, I'm not joking.
Literally the only thing I am counting on actually being announced: opening date for Toy Story Land at DHS.
Everything/anything else is completely up in the air.
A Zootopia land in DAK could be one of the most thematically inappropriate lands ever. DAK is a lot about how man interacts with nature, conservation, etc. Zootopia has none of that. Zootopia is how animal interacts with nature and the cartoonish look of the film would clash with the rest of the park.
I assume it would be replacing Conservation Station, so probably, but tbh I haven't paid much attention to the Zootopia rumor mostly bc I didn't think it was serious in any way.Wasn't one part of the rumor that Zootopia would be essentially isolated from the park, and the only mode of transportation is the train seen from the film?
I'm only okay with it if it not only replaces Conservation Station, but also occupies much of the land to the right that was originally intended for the Tiger Rapids ride. That way they'll have enough room for a proper land and dark ride. Just re-theming the Conservation Station from Rafiki to Zootopia will have no affect on the park whatsover.I assume it would be replacing Conservation Station, so probably, but tbh I haven't paid much attention to the Zootopia rumor mostly bc I didn't think it was serious in any way.
It'd be a pretty far hike... but they can probably also connect the land via the back of Asia, creating a second entry/exit to Zootopia, making the train ride optional.I'd be amazed if the train concept sticks. That train has no capacity at all. It would be an unbelievable amount of work to build a themed train with large capacity for that small of a journey.
I would love to see all of this happen. Kind of doubtful, with WDW track record, but who knows. Perhaps, with ESPN having major subscriber issues, Disney is deciding they need to up their theme park game to increase corporate revenues from that source....Whatever happens, the other bright side of this, if it all happens, is that Universal will also up their game in Orlando, and push forward more expansions (and fourth park) on a faster time train....Sounds like lots of wins for the Orlando theme park goers if this all comes to fruition. :thumbsup:There's a ridiculous amount of stuff rumored for the theme park side this year. My gut feeling is that WDW will get all of the stuff for the 50th and the other resorts will be almost entirely ignored. Maybe some updates on the new cruise ships too?
So what else is new.Should be an interesting weekend. I'll be at a wedding when any announcements are made so I can see myself being very anti social
So what else is new.
Yes, I understand. Once the haggis is gone, the reception is over. ...Whoops, back to topic. D23 news alerts.Looking at the times, I'll probably be looking at my phone with 1 eye open anyway. It's a Scottish wedding after all. :look:
