We so desperately need some more concept art, official announcements, etc. for Pandora, DHS, Frozen in Maelstrom. Just something. So much is happening but the lulls between big announcements can sometimes be unbearable.

I suspect this is so they can prove the value of D23 events once again.

Pandora has plenty of concept art and had a big announcement and ground breaking ceremony. Frozen was announced but no concept art. And who knows what they are doing with DHS. Although I think something will be happening come the new year.

They are definitely saving some good stuff for D23. I bet we'll get some big updates next summer.

This ruins my advanced planning of empty park castle pictures with my hard to get Crystal Palace ADR on a non-EMH day. Guess I'll just have to stay until 3am and get empty shots then.

Exactly the same situation. I am really bummed about it, too.
