Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun - 2023 Edition

[Sweettears]

They weren't going to put a rollercoaster in this space or something like that. So if it was between greenery + a water walk-through and just greenery, I'll take the former. It should at least be fun for the little ones!

Or cement

This fact bothers him? Paint chipping?

Maybe Mr. D'Amaro needs to talk to the guy in charge of the Parks division

At Universal.

This guy does a good job. Really good update. Can't wait.

First new park here in like 25 years I think?

This is promising! What do we think the chances of this being ready for guests in mid-September are? My husband's first time at Epcot was February 2022 and he was...underwhelmed. All of the walls everywhere just didn't sell him on the vibe. I'm excited for him to see it a bit more open in a couple of months!

I'm thinking it would be ready by September. Maybe even August. I'm hoping August because that's when I'll be there...

They may have a month of AP and DVC previews before the grand opening.

Do you think this is interesting & exciting enough for DVC previews? Honestly, I'll just be happy if the walls around it are down. I don't even need to go in.

It’s an easy way to give DVC owners and AP holders a little extra magic.

Yea but couple that with the paint chips being redone, it becomes a pretty irresistible one two punch combo.

September feels very promising. Also, there's a high chance constructions been done for a while, but, Disney's probably holding it back?

I mean, that is exactly what happened with Remy so I wouldn’t put it past them.

They did hold Remy back just so something would be open in time for 50th anniversary September would fit the Fall time frame though

Are they afraid we, the general public, are going to play in the water? I was really hoping for a surprise summer opening.
