Alrighty, went in with low expectations and I was pleasantly surprised by several of the announcements!
- Coco ride at DCA. That got a legit scream out of me, and while I'm a little bummed they're not starting construction until 2026, at least they gave a year it's starting.
- Monsters Inc. Land with the Door Coaster. I'm very happy that coaster concept was resurrected, it felt like it was downright elusive at times. Now the big question mark is where it's all going, for if it replaces Muppet Vision and Star Tours, I'm not gonna' be happy with that placement. However, if it goes into Animation Courtyard, I'm perfectly fine with that!
- Cars in MK. I initially thought they'd be putting in DHS right after the Monsters Inc announcement, so I didn't expect it's not only going in MK, but with different rides than Cars Land at DCA. So this was a nice surprise!
- Indy/Encanto/Zootopia at AK. Out of all the announcements, this felt like the absolute given due to what was teased/announced earlier. I do love the sound of the Indy ride dealing with a Mythical Creature, gimme that cryptid chaos, please. And at least they confirmed the Zootopia show is actually happening and coming late next year.
- Villains Land. Even though it's clearly going to be a while before we see this, I'm glad it was officially announced and not some Blue Sky B.S.
All in all, some good announcements which gives me something to look forward to, and that's what I was honestly hoping for!
