Watching the announcement, I don't see this as being anything but a ride.
Looking at the concept art, this looks like a facade.
Then again, if it is a ride, there's zero chance that they're going to not have a sign out front of the house or they've looked at the success of Diagon not needing one.
The rumor I was hearing was a carousel that as you turn the surroundings turn into a cartoon. Hence carousel+I could see a highly themed Carousel (that maybe doesn't go in a traditional circle) through the Banks home where instead of a pole we hang onto its Mary Poppins umbrella
Yup, that's exactly my feeling. Why hide it if you think it's some amazing thing? Because they know it's lame. So like I said, they didn't wanna hear the boos, so they showed all the good stuff now and then they'll dump the bad news on the Parks Blog.Enchanted Tales is a facade over a show building too. Not sure how that proves anything.
Hopefully it’s a ride. But I feel like they mighta said it was if it was.
I like it. It’s great. But Disney was never coy about what it was before it opened. They oversold the Poppins thing if this is what it’ll be.

They changed a bunch in 2017 as well. Poppins, Coco and Brazil were either supposed to be announced or on the cusp of being announced in 2017.It seems like there were a bunch of things changed last minute this year, which is very un-Disney like. Wonder how much got cut due to jitters over Star Wars lack of delivering so far.
There’s still a rumored big Animal Kingdom addition that wasn’t announced today too.They changed a bunch in 2017 as well. Poppins, Coco and Brazil were either supposed to be announced or on the cusp of being announced in 2017.
Coco always getting shut out. Me vuelve un poco loco.. un poquitito loco..
That's really all I care about as I suspect he knows. If he'll say anything is a different story.There’s still a rumored big Animal Kingdom addition that wasn’t announced today too.
Back to Poppins, I wonder what @Marni1971 has to say on the subject.
The poster they released has Emily Blunt on it:Looking at the Concept art again, this looks like it almost might be based on Mary Poppins Returns. Either that, or it will focus on both. That lamplighter sure looks a lot like Lin-Manuel Miranda's character Jack. The Mary Poppins right next to him also looks a lot more like the Emily Blunt version than the Julie Andrews version.
I swear to god if Disney slaps two preshows and installs this carousel in a show building...
Mary Poppins Returns wasn't that good BUT it did have some "magical" moments. Enchanted Tales with Belle DID have some impressive technological moments when it first opened. We could probably do some Google Earth and temper our expectations right now. Chances of a show building for anything major fitting back there are slim to none.
Obviously a ride would be better but we shouldn't hate on an indoor effects-driven walk through show. Not in this heat...
