Now that I've caught up with everything...
Well, that was one of the more awkward parks presentations. Now I am in the boat that I do appreciate that they were honest that most of what was pitched may or may not happen, since Disney is rather infamous on announcing things way too early which can lead to things getting cancelled for a variety of reasons and/or people wondering if something did get cancelled since it was announced at the early stages of development and there's been no updates for years.
That said, I think it's safe to say folks were hoping for some concrete new attraction announcements. Since beyond what is confirmed to come such as Tiana's Bayou Adventure, it's a bit of an unknown. And you don't necessarily want the unknown when a certain park is well in construction up north and knowing Disney's pace...if it's not under construction now or firmly announced now, it's not going to be open when that park does. That window is closed.
So yeah, I definitely didn't have "Blue Sky Pitch Meeting" on my bingo card for the presentation. And because it was a Blue Sky Pitch, you really can't go into them too much since they may not happen at all! What I will say is it's concerning that most of the pitches were for MK, the park which kinda' needs them the least. Epcot and Studios still need help, so does DAK but technically there's a pitch for DAK, even though it sounds like yet another replacement and not a full-on addition so it could still be back to square one on what it needs.
Someone on twitter mentioned it best, this felt like the result of them losing a lot of US-Based WDI over the pandemic and the whole move to Florida situation, so they're pretty much gauging reactions to ideas while they hopefully try building WDI back up. But if they're gauging reactions to the ideas, it's not a good sign when the biggest cheers in the whole presentation were for Porto's and Din Tai Fung coming to DL's Downtown Disney.
Now as for the actual announcements, both Enchantment and Harmonious closing are admittedly good news...with a tinge of bad considering it does show how much those whiffed along with the 50th.
Though speaking of shows, really no word on when WDW's Fantasmic is going to reopen. Out of all the things I thought would happen, that was it and they didn't even give a general season. (Edit - I know it's on the timeline slide under 2022, but to give no mention of anything else is just weird.)
For a presentation with the moniker of a Boundless Future, it felt more uncertain than anything else.
