There's a Zootopia panel going on right now. Anyone has a link to live updates/periscope or something? I know this isn't the priority right now, but I'm really into animation as well lol

I second this!!!

I'm following along on twitter #zootopia

2020-21 is a safe bet

I think they'll push hard to have to ready for the 50th anniversary. But one can only hope

No doubt they'll want it open for the 50th

I'd put money on everything being announced being the big things for the 50th.

When is the Shanghai park meant to be opening?

Sounds good, 2021 for me, is reasonable for everything to be ready.

I LOVE the idea for Star Wars land. I really can't wait!

But I hope they don't they don't take 5+ years.
I know there is a different between quality vs. quantity but Universal's brilliant Harry Potter areas took far les than five years. (At least as far as I know.)

Personally, I love DHS and hate the thought of it being as sad little half closed park for the next five years.

You have a good point, but WDW wasn't a sad half closed park when the new Fantasyland was being built. I wouldn't worry about it!

T-minus 45 minutes 'till P+R. Anyone know of any people who may be live for this?

I'm in the process of scouring Periscope, but no luck yet.

Question, Bob Iger said that DLR is getting 14 acres specifically...at least from the quote I read on this thread. Did he not specifically say how big WDW was going to be? Btw, more excited than I can express!

The Disney parks blog says each Star Wars land will be 14 acres.

It actually says 14 acres EACH. So I'm assuming they will be identical.

DHS a much smaller park than MK. MK lost one ride and a couple of meet and greets in one small area.

So far DHS has lost (or is rumored to lose): the animation building, One Man's Dream, the Backlot Tour, the Pirate's of the Caribbean thing.

Yes identical which is interesting in itself I don't think Disney has ever done that before

A little over a half hour until we find out more on all sorts of things

Someone on periscope just said they weren't allowed to scope the presentation. Will have to see if anyone can sneak it.

D23 have been very tight on this, this year. Mind you, what don't they want to leak at a presentation about the parks? What footage will be shown?
