Thoughts on D23 News? Parks and Attractions Edition

[Brandy J. Lewis]

Good evening, everyone!

Not sure whether this thread has been started somewhere, but let’s talk about the recent news from D23 and the additions or changes coming our way.

From cruises, rides, castle overhauls, and paint jobs, Sunday’s news seemed to be hit or miss depending on who or where you’re looking to. As a Disneyland local, I’m a bit unsure on how to feel—outside of Marvel, there’s not much coming to the parks that excites me, and the new Marvel land mainly gets me for its chance of adding new lands.

On the flip side, I’m pretty happy to be seeing all that’s coming to Epcot, having been a WDW-MK cast member myself not too long ago. The merchandise is a nice reference to both past and future Epcot, and the posters? Great designs!

What are your thoughts, worries, concerns, etc? Any favorites? Least favorites? Personally, I’m jealous on the Zootopia expansion coming rob Shanghai Disney.

I was there, can’t say there was a blockbuster announcement that wasn’t rumored before. DL is getting a new daytime parade. What about a nighttime parade for WDW? 50th anniversary will be held at all 4 parks.

This new fastpass/dining planning system has me a little nervous. I bet they will take the opportunity to monetize it, similar to maxpass at DL.

The Disney Store/Target news has me concerned for Disney Store CM friends. Phasing out the stores?
