Any big rumors we are expecting for D23?

[IDislikePulp]

I remember around last D23 there were rumors flying for a ton of stuff. Some came true (Rat in Epcot, Guardians) some didn't (Haunted Mansion restaurant) but I seem to remember lots more discussion and big rumors being thrown around. Granted we are still 6 months out. Is there anything big we're expecting to be confirmed this time around?

Personally would love to see news of a Stitch replacement for MK, or confirmation of new Monorails. However, I definitely would not mind the big announcements being surprises!

I haven’t seen much beyond more info on additional work at EPCOT (SSE refurb, more with Spine, etc)

I assume more for Star Wars Hotel ... probably opening date for Galaxy’s Edge at DHS

My D23 predictions:

Walt Disney World
-Update on Epcot Spine and Future World
-Future of Spaceship Earth
-Gotg Update, more concept art and story details
-New concept art on Rat entrance and backside of France pavilion
-Brazil pavilion announced
-Uk attraction probably a flat ride
-Resort wide 50th anniversary enhancements
-Update on Tron
-Update on Hollywood Studios SWGE
-More concept art and details for Reflections resort
-Yeti getting fixed, only one can hope
Disneyland Resort
-Mickey and Minnie Runaway Railway gets announced
-New concept art and details on Marvel land
-New Halloween experiences at DCA like Halloween WoC
-Maybe a hint at future fantasyland expansion
-Probably a new festival like Pixar fest for late spring/summer 2020

I would guess some more details on the new cruise ships, since the first of them will likely have its maiden voyage before the next D23 in summer 2021. Teasers and possible footage for the last of the new Star Wars Trilogy and Frozen 2. More info on Ratatouille, Tron, and GotG, and some more solid details on Play Pavilion and other areas of Epcot. I would bet the monorail fleet as well; that seems to be pretty solidly "unofficial but everyone knows it's a thing" so there's not a huge point in keeping it under wraps past the opportunity to make one of the big expo announcements. They've been tossing out so many pretty big projects in recent months as press releases, I'm having a hard time thinking of things that would be actual big not-before-official rumors that they could confirm.

I don't know if we'll get anything about the 50th further than all the new rides and refurbs we already know about. We got nothing about Disneyland's Diamond Celebration in 2013, about the same time frame out. But then again, D23 has grown enormously as the company's venue for big announcements since then, so we could hear something.
