Welcome to Daps Magic Disney and
0:14
positive stuff. It is going to be a very
0:17
exciting episode because it's going to
0:19
be a very exciting week with D23, the
0:23
ultimate Disney fan event, formerly
0:25
known as D23 Expo, happening this week.
0:29
And because it is an exciting weekend,
0:32
tons of content that we could be
0:33
covering, we are just going to speculate
0:35
instead. And to speculate with me, I
0:37
have my good friend Clocky, [music] who
0:40
is the host of Set from Disneyland. He
0:42
is also a host with me of Photo Nicks,
0:45
and he's an all-around good guy, and um
0:48
and we have a lot of fun together. So, I
0:49
figured this would be a great way to do
0:51
this. So, without any further ado, we're
0:54
going to get into this. Also, if you
0:55
haven't subscribed yet, good time to do
0:57
that. And if you'd like to leave a
0:58
rating, also a good time [music] to do
1:00
that. But it's an even better time to
1:02
talk about Disney. Welcome, Clockie.
1:04
>> Hello.
1:06
>> I'm I'm excited. This is This is going
1:08
to be funny cuz you just threw out a
1:11
random idea and then it turned into this
1:13
and I don't know that you knew what
1:14
you're getting into, but [laughter]
1:17
>> not at all. But now I'm ready. But
1:19
that's what we do with all of our ideas.
1:21
Um, so let's go through. On Friday night
1:25
is going to be the entertainment
1:26
showcase where they'll talk about
1:27
everything entertainment related. And
1:29
then Saturday night is the uh Horizon's
1:33
Disney Experience Showcase, which will
1:35
be entertaining in itself because Neil
1:36
Patrick Harris will be hosting this. And
1:39
I'm wondering if [clears throat] that's
1:39
a clue for stuff happening also at D23.
1:42
But um, on the fly, I'm thinking we
1:46
should start with Friday night. So,
1:48
entertainment, predictions, hopes,
1:50
wishes, whatever. Um, do you have here's
1:53
we two ways we could do this. Do you
1:56
have things or we could go back and
1:57
forth or I could put what I have like
1:59
how would you like to do this?
2:01
>> Let's let's go back and forth and see if
2:04
anything sparks and then you change your
2:06
list because you go, "Oh, I didn't even
2:07
think about that." [laughter]
2:08
>> That's a good call. That's a good call.
2:10
Well, since you're my guest, do you want
2:11
to go first?
2:12
>> Sure. Uh, so something that I forgot
2:15
about that is Disney related, that is
2:18
Disney Entertainment that we should be
2:19
expecting to happen between now and
2:21
December is Vision Quest.
2:24
>> That's on my list. We We have not seen
2:28
anything for Vision Quest other than
2:31
recently when they showed the timeline
2:32
of events because I went and saw the
2:34
Spider-Man movie. Great.
2:36
>> And I said, "Okay, well, what's next?"
2:38
And it was, "Oh, Vision Quest is next."
2:40
And I go, "Oh, I haven't seen a trailer
2:43
for that." Or even at ComicCon, I didn't
2:46
see any
2:48
>> poster art. Nothing. They have a They
2:51
have a a main logo and that's about it.
2:54
>> That's a start. And we have old artwork
2:56
from was it Wanda Vision? Right.
2:58
>> Um No, I actually had that on my list,
3:00
too, as a trailer. I think we get more
3:02
information about that. Let's stick with
3:03
with uh Marvel as we're doing this. Um
3:05
I'm hoping we get that. I'm hoping we
3:07
get a little bit of um context, I guess,
3:11
like what is this going to be? What does
3:13
it mean? Does it mean anything at all?
3:15
Because we're going into this new era of
3:17
Marvel and technically it's before
3:20
Doomsday. So, it's technically in the
3:23
old Marvel before they kind of do this
3:25
reboot thing. So, um I don't know. I I
3:28
think I think it'll be interesting
3:30
because we are heading into
3:33
I'm a little bit confused about what
3:35
we're heading into to be completely
3:36
honest because they're doing this soft
3:38
reboot but we still have Black Panther 3
3:42
and we have uh I guess Ghost Rider is
3:45
completely like that's a kind of a reset
3:47
but um
3:49
>> yeah I'm I'm very curious about that.
3:51
I'm expecting that. I'm expecting a
3:54
further deeper
3:56
whatever into Avengers Doomsday. Like I
3:59
assume we're going to get a lot of cast
4:00
members there or at least Robert Downey
4:02
Jr. Um and I actually think that will
4:07
and and I'm expecting another
4:08
announcement from Marvel of some sort. I
4:10
I bet the third announcement is uh
4:13
season 3 of uh X-Men 97 that's been
4:16
doing really well. There you go. And I
4:19
think it's I think it's the the the
4:22
retro little engine that could, which is
4:25
just we can keep putting these out.
4:27
People are enjoying them and everybody
4:30
likes them. I feel like
4:32
>> if you lived through it originally, you
4:33
like it. And if you're discovering it
4:35
for the first time, you like it as well.
4:36
And so, um, no, I totally I think that
4:39
one And is it is it Daredevil? Uh,
4:42
>> oh, Born Again. Born Again. I bet we get
4:45
something for that, too.
4:46
>> Uh, either
4:49
May. Yeah, maybe. May like maybe a soft
4:51
announcement like a Yeah, one more
4:53
person who's joining the cast or or like
4:56
a clip or something of like, hey, this
4:58
is a tease or Yeah, I could imagine
5:00
something like that as well. Um, all
5:02
right, we hit Marvel. How about we hit
5:05
uh Star Wars?
5:06
>> Do you have any predictions there? So,
5:09
we definitely we got some Last Star
5:11
Fighter. I bet we get more, right? Last
5:14
Starf Fighter. What? Or no, just Starf
5:16
Fighter. Just Starf Fighter. Just Starf
5:18
Fighter. Yeah, I think we I think we get
5:20
more Starf Fighter. Like a trailer or
5:23
not a trailer, probably like a tease
5:25
like of some sort
5:28
>> cuz it's a year out still.
5:30
>> Uh maybe we get a full announcement for
5:33
a um
5:36
was it the Jude Law? I'm blanking on the
5:38
name of the
5:38
>> Oh, like a skeleton thing.
5:41
>> Oh, I didn't even think of that.
5:43
>> I mean, I we just get we get it
5:45
announced. Skeleton second season.
5:47
>> Second season 2028.
5:49
>> I would be all I would be all for if
5:52
we're lucky.
5:53
>> Yeah.
5:55
>> Remember, it's all about quality, not
5:56
quantity now, which I'm all for, but uh
6:00
>> that's [clears throat] it's a good
6:01
choice. I hadn't thought of that one. I
6:02
think we're going to get also something
6:04
for Ahsoka season 2,
6:06
>> like that that for sure is going to
6:08
happen. And then um
6:11
I would guess something animated like I
6:14
don't I don't know what. like another
6:16
mall, like something
6:18
>> left field.
6:20
>> Yeah. Or even Yeah. I feel like there's
6:22
lots of possibilities that they go with
6:24
that and I think they're pretty good at
6:25
it and more than pretty good. They're
6:28
very good at it. So, um
6:29
>> maybe like a young Yoda series.
6:34
>> That's That's strangely a lot like The
6:36
Mandalorian, [laughter] right?
6:39
>> Except he's raised by a Wookie. I don't
6:42
know, right? Um
6:43
>> that would be funny. Uh, how about
6:46
anything else? You think Star Wars is
6:47
coming out?
6:48
>> I don't think so. I don't think they're
6:50
ready to announce a new trilogy.
6:54
I think Starf Fighter is their Well,
6:57
didn't they like announce a bunch of
6:58
stuff? Was this at D23 two years ago
7:01
where they did announce the new movies
7:03
and currently like none of them are
7:05
happening? It seems like,
7:06
>> right? Yeah. I I would say under the
7:11
current regime and what they did last
7:13
time with the announcements for the
7:15
parks of like all of this stuff is
7:17
happening.
7:18
>> I think they're pretty good with that.
7:20
>> They're trying to avoid um giant was no
7:25
>> was it big?
7:26
>> Uh yeah, I gigantic.
7:29
>> Gigantic. Gigantic.
7:30
>> Was that it? Yeah.
7:32
>> I think that smart we looked at the
7:34
other day. I remember going like what
7:35
was it? because it they had a great
7:37
poster and then they said, "Oh, we're
7:38
noping that."
7:40
>> Maybe it'll come back though. Maybe
7:42
someday. We can always hope. Um
7:45
>> yeah, I I think I would love if they did
7:48
announce another movie, but only if it
7:50
is well thought out. And I think
7:52
whatever does come next is going to be
7:56
like it has to be a home run because
7:58
it'll be the first complete movie in the
8:00
Dave Filona era
8:02
>> and uh you just can't mess that. Like
8:04
that has to be a home run for the future
8:06
of the franchise. I mean, do they have
8:08
to wait for Space Balls to to do what
8:10
they do?
8:12
>> Maybe then they go just so they don't
8:14
accidentally go like, "Oh, well that's
8:16
the plot of Space Balls." [laughter]
8:19
>> I'm sure they already know Josh's
8:21
involved.
8:22
>> True.
8:23
>> Like they're all working together. Um I
8:26
think also we'll probably get some
8:28
announcements from uh Walt Disney
8:31
Animation Studios. Uh, I'm expecting a
8:34
Frozen two and or three, whatever that
8:36
thing is going to be. No, Frozen 3 and
8:38
four.
8:40
>> Yeah, I fro Frozen 3 for sure.
8:43
>> And I think we get a clip of that. Like
8:45
they're going to be like, "Here's your
8:46
first look at at Frozen 3 and and
8:49
they'll talk about it and all of that
8:51
fun stuff." I'm assuming we get more
8:53
about Hex. I'm assuming we get more
8:55
about God from Pixar. Um, I would not be
8:59
surprised at all if we get a Moana 3
9:01
announcement.
9:02
Maybe a Zootopia 3 announcement
9:05
and
9:08
a new movie of both Pixar and and
9:12
Disney. Yeah. Like or whatever is next
9:14
in the
9:15
>> whatever. Yeah. Well, I mean, have they
9:18
announced Incredibles 3
9:22
like officially?
9:24
>> I don't think so.
9:25
>> Or maybe that one could make sense.
9:27
>> That one could make sense. Or I could
9:28
also believe that we just get dates
9:29
attached to the the Pixar and Disney
9:32
movies that we do know.
9:34
>> So we get like, oh, Frozen [snorts] 3
9:36
will be this specific.
9:39
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean th because
9:41
those things can shift. That isn't a
9:43
promise. That's a that's a promise of a
9:46
date that it can be like a oh production
9:48
or oh uh you know Christian Bell was too
9:52
busy or Josh Gat was too busy doing you
9:54
know something else. So, well, now I'm
9:56
thinking of we're doing a sequel from
9:57
The Muppets, uh, or Muppets Most Wanted,
10:00
and I'm like, "Oh, maybe they're going
10:01
to announce Toy Story 6, too."
10:03
[laughter]
10:05
[snorts]
10:06
>> Just saying.
10:08
>> I I I think if we were to be like rating
10:11
predictions on like probable, plausible,
10:14
and not at all, like whatever the
10:16
option, the negative one would be,
10:18
>> I feel like that one actually is
10:20
probably plausible.
10:22
>> Plausible.
10:23
>> Yeah.
10:23
>> Yeah. I was like, I could see it maybe
10:25
happening. Um, debunked. Would that be
10:28
the other one? I don't know. Because you
10:30
can't go busted because then we're just
10:32
Mythbusters, but Right. Yeah. Just uh
10:36
does there is no way there is no way
10:39
that this is happening.
10:40
>> Yeah. I mean, that that'd be like, you
10:42
know, gigantic. They're like, "Oh, we
10:45
revisited back like and it's a musical
10:47
and Alan Min's doing the music with Lin
10:50
Manuel Miranda." Right. [laughter]
10:52
>> Um I would like to see that movie
10:54
actually. Do actually So that that would
10:56
be my question on Frozen. Yeah.
10:59
>> Do we get a song?
11:02
>> Oh, that's possible because they did do
11:03
a lot of song and dance stuff last time.
11:07
So, do we get, you know, I think that's
11:09
possible of a song
11:12
>> and do we get more of
11:15
like this is a side step, but last time
11:18
we got the greatest showman moment where
11:20
they announced that for going to the
11:22
stage. I'm like, do we get something
11:23
with that or you know in that realm from
11:26
uh Disney theatrical productions or
11:28
something and their new leadership? I
11:30
think we get I think we may get an
11:32
announcement of Hercules coming to
11:34
Broadway in an official date or a
11:36
theater if it comes to Broadway. I hope
11:39
it does. Yeah, it seems to be I mean it
11:42
seems to be doing well enough on on the
11:43
West End. I'm rooting for it. I would
11:46
love to be able to just go to Broadway
11:47
instead of all the way because I think
11:48
it's wrapping up very soon if it just
11:50
>> Yeah.
11:52
>> Um yeah, I think that's all my guesses
11:54
for uh animated stuff. Uh, Walt Disney
11:58
Studios.
12:01
Do you have any thoughts? I have a
12:02
couple ideas. I I mean, the hard part is
12:06
I think we get a live action something.
12:08
>> Yes.
12:08
>> I just don't know what.
12:10
>> I think there will be an original live
12:13
action movie that we didn't think of
12:14
that might end up having The Rock in it
12:16
for all I know. Um,
12:19
I wonder if this is the year we get a
12:21
Pirate 6 announcement. Like there's been
12:23
lots of of
12:25
>> I feel like every few months Jerry
12:27
Brookheimimer is throwing out a tease
12:29
about working on what like they seem to
12:31
have two movies they're working on. He's
12:33
also going to be a Disney legend this
12:35
year, right? Yeah. And um
12:39
>> and I'm like I could imagine maybe this
12:42
is the time you try it again. I also the
12:45
the other side of me is maybe this is
12:48
also the time to just walk away and try
12:50
something new.
12:53
>> I mean they should have done that with
12:54
Pirates 4.
12:56
>> Just just do Pirates.
12:58
>> Yeah. Like I I think there's other
13:00
things you could do and like um there's
13:04
lots of I don't know. I feel like
13:06
there's so much creativity throughout
13:08
the company both in the parks and in
13:10
entertainment all of this stuff. There
13:12
should be other ideas that they come up
13:13
with. Um, I expect us to get another
13:16
update on Princess Diaries 3
13:19
>> because that would make sense,
13:21
>> right?
13:22
>> I would also expect more information on
13:24
Lilo and Stitch 2.
13:27
>> Oh, the live action Lilo and Stitch 2.
13:29
>> Yeah. Yeah.
13:29
>> Yeah.
13:30
>> Yeah. Yeah.
13:30
>> Um, and I'm sure we'll get like that.
13:33
That could be the live action
13:34
announcement though.
13:36
>> Yeah, you're right.
13:38
>> I mean, it's already announced though.
13:39
Like it's not a new project.
13:42
Yeah, but maybe we maybe we get story
13:45
elements or maybe we get Yeah. Or maybe
13:47
we get the reveal of the the actor
13:50
villain.
13:51
>> Mhm.
13:53
>> That would be fun.
13:54
>> Um or at least a log line. Like I'd be
13:57
okay with that. Um I think a big part of
13:59
this just from the restructuring that's
14:01
been happening in the company in the
14:03
last few months, I would not be
14:05
surprised if there's a fairly
14:06
significant Epic Games portion of the
14:09
Entertainment Night. um because that's
14:12
been a huge priority it seems like for
14:14
Disney. Uh the announcement I would love
14:16
to hear that I don't know we're going to
14:18
hear because it seems like everything's
14:19
been radio silent is the Muppet Show
14:22
getting picked up for a series
14:25
here. Uh my hopeful is we hear that we
14:29
getting a Muppets Christmas special this
14:33
Christmas.
14:34
>> This Christmas. That would be amazing. I
14:37
mean, if you think about it, of of the
14:39
things that they can throw together, I'm
14:41
pretty sure they could write, record,
14:44
and produce a Muppet show
14:47
in
14:48
>> So then with 10 weeks,
14:50
>> then with that announcement, I would
14:51
like to see the moment that that's
14:53
announced by Neil Patrick Har. No,
14:54
that's not Neil Patrick Harris at night.
14:56
But the moment it's announced, I would
14:58
like to see all of the Muppets take to
15:00
the stage and sing one of the new
15:02
original songs for uh
15:04
>> for a Muppets Christmas for the new
15:06
Muppet Christmas special. Yeah,
15:08
>> I could I mean, which is strangely a lot
15:10
like Home Alone? No. [laughter]
15:13
>> Well, I mean,
15:14
>> they are doing the Mickey Mouse Home
15:16
Alone version. Yeah, I was say they're
15:18
already doing that. Otherwise, I'd go
15:19
like, "Oh, that'd be hilarious. Neil
15:20
Patrick Harris is stuck in the theater
15:23
>> and the Muppets are trying to break in."
15:25
I mean, you could kind of do uh what
15:27
planes, trains, and automobiles
15:31
or or you could do the opposite kind of
15:34
like what the one of my favorite Muppet
15:36
episodes of the original Muppet Show is
15:38
the John Cle of him not wanting to be
15:40
there.
15:40
>> Uhhuh.
15:41
>> But but you flip that and the Muppets
15:43
are trying to do their Christmas special
15:45
and you have someone trying to break in
15:46
to do a song and dance and Neil Patrick
15:49
Harris fits that mold of I just want to
15:52
come in. I just want to do I just want
15:53
to sing White Christmas. I just want to
15:55
do this one thing. I just I really got
15:56
to do this.
15:58
>> I love it.
15:59
>> Call us. I'm calling Disney now.
16:02
>> There. There you go. Um I don't know
16:05
that I have anything else big that I
16:07
like there's other things I think we
16:09
could probably guess about cuz they'll
16:11
obviously cover TV shows and um other
16:15
specials and National Geographic. Like
16:18
there's stuff happening, but I don't
16:20
know that we need to get into all of
16:21
that. And I would like to get though an
16:23
only Murders in the building
16:25
announcement
16:27
>> cuz usually by now we know when the next
16:29
season's coming,
16:30
>> right? We probably get a date. We
16:32
already know some people who were in it.
16:33
Yeah. No, I was thinking if
16:36
>> if they could bring Steve Martin and
16:38
Selena Gomez and Martin Short in even
16:40
better,
16:41
>> right? The other one I was thinking of
16:43
and then we mentioned I think this week
16:44
on Geek's Corner or or maybe After Dark
16:47
uh is the Oswalt. Do we get an Oswald
16:49
trailer?
16:50
>> Oh yeah. Oh, that was my first thing on
16:52
the list. [laughter]
16:55
I I moved down further and then I forgot
16:56
about it. I think we get Oswald news.
16:59
Yeah, I I think you're totally right
17:00
because they've been so silent on it. I
17:02
just it was funny because the other day
17:04
uh he was watching you watching one of
17:08
the old um not old one of the uh MCU
17:11
movies and I I was like oh yeah wait
17:13
wasn't John Favro working on an Oswald
17:15
thing at the parks where is that
17:18
>> uh that was everything that was a while
17:20
ago and so part of me wonders will they
17:23
have animation enough or will this be
17:25
the um the the Sonic the Hedgehog Lilo
17:29
and Stitch Stitch tease of what Oswald
17:32
looks like. So if everyone goes no, they
17:36
go we well it's going to come later and
17:39
and this Oswald may not be around. It
17:42
may be a new Oswald.
17:44
>> I I think that would be very cool. In
17:47
fact, that would probably be a highlight
17:48
for me of the Entertainment Night. Um
17:51
yeah, I'm all for that. Yeah, we need
17:54
more Oswald. Okay, so let's pivot to the
17:57
parks because that's actually where
17:58
we're most passionate I feel like in
17:59
many regards. And uh I'm thinking we
18:02
start with Disneyland cuz that's the one
18:04
we go to all of the time.
18:06
>> Uh do you have any predictions for
18:07
Disneyland?
18:09
>> I think we get I mean the big one's
18:12
going to be Avatar. We've already got to
18:13
look for it.
18:14
>> Mhm.
18:15
>> I I bet we get a maybe a timeline
18:19
or maybe a ride detail. Maybe we find
18:22
out what our version of Flight of
18:24
Passage is going to be if it's not going
18:26
to be a a cookie cutter version of their
18:28
>> Well, and we know it's We already know
18:30
it's a boat ride. We know that there is
18:32
a boat ride and it's Yeah, it will be a
18:35
boat ride.
18:36
>> Interesting. [snorts]
18:38
So, I think it's going to be very
18:40
fascinating and and this is going to be
18:43
fun uh because we have a few days before
18:45
this happens. But, uh up until this last
18:49
week, people have been
18:52
very insistent that it won't even happen
18:55
and it'll end up being Zootopia. Um
18:59
well, that's the hope.
19:00
>> I think there Yes, that's the hope. Um,
19:03
I think there's two parts to that. Is I
19:05
think a lot of I'm going to call us
19:08
traditionalist Disney fans would prefer
19:10
a more traditional Disney franchise in
19:14
that space. Allah Zootopia, Alla
19:17
Monsters, Inc., Alla, something, you
19:19
know, something that feels more classic
19:21
Disney to us. But on the flip side, if
19:26
I'm an executive and I want to bring in
19:27
new people to the parks, uh
19:31
there is an argument to be made for
19:33
using one of the biggest franchises of
19:35
all time to draw in those crowds that
19:38
are like, "Oh, I love Avatar." And
19:42
so I could see I could see there being a
19:44
definite business
19:47
reason for continuing on with Avatar.
19:50
Um, also when we were in the meeting
19:52
with Thomas Masloom earlier this year,
19:54
they were pretty insistent that Avatar
19:56
was still happening and that the
20:00
the change of the closure date for
20:03
Monsters Inc. was really just to
20:06
accommodate young families and that they
20:08
could still stick with their internal
20:09
timeline, which they weren't going to
20:11
announce to us. Um,
20:13
>> I think it's going to be fascinating
20:15
because I do think a week from today
20:18
we're gonna walk out knowing, oh, this
20:21
definitely is happening or it's not
20:23
happening. Like, if we're getting
20:24
details or a model or all of those
20:26
things, I think that confirms what every
20:30
indication I have is still true. Um,
20:35
that it is still happening. And, you
20:37
know, we might also be eating crow next
20:38
Sunday. I don't know. [laughter]
20:41
But
20:41
>> so, so I did a quick search and looked
20:44
at [clears throat] Shanghai Disneyland,
20:46
a place that I have been.
20:49
>> Do you think the p the water ride for
20:52
Avatar will be a cookie cutter but
20:55
overlay of Avatar of that Pirates Ride?
20:58
At least the mechanism if not the whole
21:01
attraction.
21:02
>> That would be the direction I would
21:04
assume. And and you think they we
21:06
already know they're ripping out the
21:08
that transportation hub behind it,
21:11
>> right? So you've got not just the area
21:13
there, not just the backstage area there
21:16
and the buildings next to it, you also
21:18
have a ton of space back behind it as
21:22
well because the bridge
21:24
>> really comes in closer to the the
21:28
Montreal going back into the park track
21:31
than it does the like that's a big space
21:35
>> and you you would you would gain a lot
21:38
of uh Harbor Boulevard space with that,
21:43
which I think they have to hide now
21:45
>> really
21:46
>> because I think part of Disneyland
21:47
forward is they'd have to make the
21:49
exterior look as visually appealing as
21:51
it is or more that direction as it is on
21:54
the inside. Uh because they wanted to
21:56
make like not just a wall,
21:58
>> you'd have to make it look, oh, there's
22:00
mountains or you know, whatever it ends
22:01
up being. So that would that would
22:03
actually be pretty interesting. a little
22:04
bit more like a completed version of uh
22:08
Cars Land where Yeah, you can see the
22:10
tops but they want to cover all of it.
22:12
Interesting.
22:12
>> Yeah. Okay. Or or maybe even like uh
22:15
Galaxy's Edge from like Galaxy's Edge
22:17
from the outside. You do see the
22:19
>> the spires and trees hide the lower
22:21
part. So, I could imagine trees or
22:24
something and then the tops they
22:25
actually,
22:26
>> you know, put together or whatever. But
22:28
um no, I I kind of think we get a a
22:30
pretty big Avatar announcement. Um just
22:34
so Disney's again controlling the story
22:36
and if it's not an Avatar announcement
22:38
and it's Zootopia or Monsters Inc. or
22:40
something else, um I think they make it
22:42
a pretty like this is what we're doing.
22:45
I just I don't think they're going to
22:47
change it that I think they're far
22:49
enough on the process. Um I think we're
22:51
going to get a pretty indepth look at
22:53
what Avengers Campus uh expansion is
22:56
going to be. like that's probably also a
22:59
timeline for opening that because that
23:01
will be the next well those two
23:03
attractions will be the next ones that
23:05
open in the resort and um and I wouldn't
23:08
be surprised if it's it's sometime later
23:10
next year. Uh just looking at the
23:12
progress we get those before Coco.
23:15
>> Yeah.
23:16
>> Okay. So, uh, those have already gone
23:18
vertical and the buildings more or less
23:21
have taken complete shape and they're
23:23
already doing filling and stuff and and,
23:26
um, and it's it's like you can kind of
23:29
tell the footprint or what it's going to
23:31
be looking at it from the the inside
23:34
versus what the concept art showed us.
23:36
Was that two a year ago, two years ago,
23:38
whatever it was. And then um, the Coco
23:40
is just dirt right now. And I think
23:42
there's
23:42
>> I think there's a lot more prep work
23:44
that has to happen for Coco. So, I would
23:46
expect that a year or so later, maybe
23:48
even two years later. And then, but this
23:51
is also where you start thinking of
23:52
Avatar is if that's
23:54
uh Avengers Campus 27,
23:57
Coco 28 or 29, like that gives quite a
24:02
bit of time for Avatar to come in. Maybe
24:05
that's one of the things that's part of
24:06
the, you know, 75th anniversary or
24:10
something. I don't know.
24:10
>> Yeah, I was going to say that that
24:11
that's the other thing. I think we're
24:12
going to get a a a Wink announcement at
24:15
this at 75.
24:17
>> Mhm.
24:19
>> And or do we get a Mickey 100?
24:22
>> This was the hard thing.
24:24
>> That was the hard thing about
24:25
celebrating the 70th is I go there's so
24:27
much happening.
24:29
>> Yeah,
24:29
>> that's a that's a bigger
24:32
>> rounder number.
24:34
>> 75 is big. Mickey's 100's big.
24:38
>> Disney 100 wasn't as big because it was
24:40
like, "Okay, great. as 1923 to 2023.
24:45
Great. And that's good for the company,
24:47
but like for an individual park and for
24:49
what happens there.
24:51
>> So, here's a question for you.
24:53
>> Mhm.
24:54
>> Going back to entertainment, Disney or
24:56
Mickey Mouse 100.
24:59
Do they do a special, a movie, a
25:01
cartoon, like something big
25:05
entertainment wise with Mickey Mouse
25:06
again? or is it one of those things that
25:10
they they kind of
25:13
go the merchandise route instead?
25:15
>> I think they go merch. I I do too. But
25:18
>> the the I think the I think the
25:20
challenge going going back to the
25:21
entertainment the challenge with Mickey
25:22
is the Mickey that we're seeing now is
25:25
that
25:27
>> uh version we see in the back of the
25:30
park in Toontown. The D thinkop is now
25:33
>> even though that's gone a couple years
25:35
now,
25:35
>> right? But that's the last that that
25:38
Well, or maybe the maybe it's a teaser
25:41
or a tester of doing the um Home Alone
25:45
version
25:46
with Mickey.
25:47
>> Well, they're putting out the the
25:49
claimation ones come out basically every
25:52
year now. They have the uh Mickey
25:55
Clubhouse
25:57
franchise that, you know, it keeps
25:58
getting different names and reinvented
26:00
and moving forward. So, there's a lot of
26:03
um I'm going to call it Disney Junior
26:04
programming coming out with Mickey
26:06
Mouse. And so, they're doing a good job
26:10
of connecting young ones with Mickey
26:13
Mouse. And I wonder if in this day and
26:16
age where nostalgia sells so well if
26:19
there's a
26:21
>> I don't know even like a a through the
26:24
years Mickey short or movie or something
26:27
I don't know like in um Mickey Mouse
26:30
this is your life.
26:33
>> Yeah. Or or they somehow come up with a
26:35
way to explain
26:37
you know his story through the last
26:39
century. I don't know like Yeah. I mean
26:41
that well and see that's the challenge I
26:43
think with with the Oswald thing coming
26:44
out. Part of me was like oh wouldn't
26:47
wouldn't it work out for Mickey to have
26:48
a Mickey finds Walt movie
26:52
>> where he's like I've always wondered who
26:54
who he who he was and I learned all
26:56
about this and we find out about that
26:58
suitcase and a dream.
27:00
>> Right. [laughter]
27:01
>> Okay.
27:02
>> Mickey's Mickey Mickey's on the train
27:04
going from New York back to to LA.
27:06
>> Yeah. I Yeah, that'll be interesting.
27:09
Um, I do think going back to Coco, as we
27:12
jump around a little bit, I think we get
27:13
more information about that, maybe more
27:16
specifics on, you know, what the
27:19
storyline for it's going to be and what
27:21
we're going to experience. Like, will it
27:22
just be going through the movie? Will it
27:24
be something new? You know, like I think
27:25
we get more about that. Maybe more
27:27
concept art for Well, definitely more
27:29
concept art for the attraction. I'll be
27:31
curious if we also find out more about
27:33
around it. Um because it kind of makes
27:35
sense to me to transform all of the
27:38
boardwalk pizza area, you know, like all
27:40
the way around back towards Goofy Sky
27:42
School um to be a little bit more
27:44
cohesive and that'd be cool for Plaza de
27:46
la Familia and all of that fun stuff.
27:48
Like I could see you getting something
27:50
like that. Um I also would not be
27:54
surprised if we get in either a new
27:56
attraction that we aren't expecting
27:58
maybe for Disneyland. Um, that's kind of
28:02
that tease of like this is coming and
28:04
everybody will freak out and and be
28:07
speculate speculating about where it's
28:09
going to go and how and all of this
28:10
stuff and um and then maybe I wouldn't
28:13
be surprised if they're saying uh
28:15
whatever the next parade that's going to
28:18
be offered or something, you know,
28:19
because I I feel like they need a
28:20
daytime parade.
28:23
Yeah, I bet we get
28:26
again. I I bet it leans towards the
28:29
the 75th,
28:32
but also maybe something interim that's
28:35
like we might even there's always the
28:37
rumor of magic happens coming back too.
28:39
And so, you know, it might even be
28:40
something like that and just be like,
28:42
"Hey,
28:43
>> here, you know,
28:44
>> we know you love it. Here it come." You
28:46
know, like I don't know. Um, mainly cuz
28:49
I think a lot of what this D23 is going
28:52
to be is way more flushing out things as
28:56
opposed to really big announcements, you
28:58
know, like Coco and Avatar and event
29:02
like I don't think we're going to get as
29:04
many huge announcements like that this
29:05
time. I think it's going to be a lot
29:07
more like, oh, we told you about this
29:09
two years ago. This is this is where
29:11
we're at now and where it's going. And I
29:13
think they'll they'll throw in a few
29:15
surprises along the way, but I'm not
29:17
expecting it to be one of those um
29:21
you know, irons dropping from the sky of
29:23
information and you can't catch them all
29:25
because there's so much information
29:26
coming out. Uh which is what we got two
29:28
years ago.
29:31
This is a bold prediction.
29:32
>> Okay.
29:33
>> Because it's a Tomorrowland prediction
29:34
for the
29:35
>> Oh, I like this.
29:37
I think we find out the sponsor and we
29:40
see the new look of the Autotopia cars
29:44
for the electric.
29:45
>> Oh, that's I could see that. I think
29:48
that's a very that's a very good
29:50
prediction. It
29:50
>> It's bold cuz it's a Tomorrowland end
29:52
prediction that I go I don't know. I
29:54
think I'm going to smell gas for another
29:55
20 years. No, I I actually think you're
29:58
right on that. Uh I think it's also one
30:00
of those ones that have been right in
30:02
front of our faces that we're all
30:03
overlooking.
30:05
And that could be that would be a good
30:07
Neil Patrick Harris.
30:10
>> Let me
30:11
let me reveal the car underneath a giant
30:14
sheet.
30:15
>> Oh, I was thinking he opens the like has
30:17
this this curtains open and Bob drives
30:20
out. [laughter]
30:23
>> That'd be so fun. Um, all right.
30:26
Anything else for Disneyland?
30:27
>> Uh, hang on. Let me think. Nothing over
30:30
there. Nothing over there. We've we've
30:32
already got
30:34
>> maybe a timeline for the parking lot. I
30:36
mean, I don't think parking lot is
30:38
necessarily news you want to be giving
30:40
during this, but it's news.
30:42
>> No, no, but I would say this. It's uh I
30:45
think you unveil the new transportation
30:46
hub. How are you going to get from your
30:48
hotel to the parks slash uh the
30:51
esplanon? Yeah. Yeah, I like that. Okay.
30:55
All right. Let's move on to Walt Disney
30:58
World where I think a lot of the news
31:01
will be coming from um for this D23
31:04
experiences panel. And um you want to
31:08
start off again this this one? Um
31:12
[laughter] there's no shortage there.
31:13
Yeah, there's uh
31:16
I think I think we get
31:20
Oh, man.
31:22
He's not going to be Indiana Jones right
31:24
update. Yeah, absolutely. I'm gonna I'm
31:26
gonna blanket that under tropical
31:28
America's update because I think it's
31:30
going to get that I think we're going to
31:31
get uh the Encanto ride update like that
31:34
whole area. I think we get
31:36
>> we get a 3D map.
31:38
>> Very possible.
31:39
>> Like like kind of got a little ride
31:41
through or something or maybe the model.
31:43
Yeah.
31:45
>> Okay,
31:45
>> I can totally see that.
31:49
>> Uh this the sad stuff. Uh, do we do we
31:51
get the full cars?
31:53
The Piston Peak. Yeah, I think we get a
31:56
Piston Peak. I wouldn't be surprised if
31:58
that's the model that they teased on the
32:00
Walt Disney Imagineering Instagram the
32:02
other day.
32:03
>> Like
32:04
>> I I was like, "Oh, that kind of has a a
32:06
national park feel to like I could
32:08
imagine that being a national park from
32:11
the one two trees that they were putting
32:12
into the model or whatever." But um
32:15
yeah, I think we get an update on that.
32:18
Maybe they even show us
32:20
like an updated with the the ride system
32:22
that they're testing or something and
32:24
and so we find out what the actual ride
32:27
system is going to be. Um it would be a
32:29
major winner if we also found out what
32:31
the second attraction is going to be.
32:32
That's the family attraction. Um I think
32:36
I think that's possible. And then while
32:38
we're in that area of the park, I
32:40
wouldn't be surprised if we also got an
32:41
update on Villains Land um all what we
32:45
used to get with Star Wars Galaxy's
32:46
Edge. So maybe it's just the fact that
32:49
it has a name. Maybe it's the these are
32:52
the attraction or the main attraction in
32:54
it. Um I kind of
32:57
I don't know how much information
32:59
they'll give us. Like I would love lots
33:01
of information, but maybe the focus is
33:03
Piston Peak because it's coming first. I
33:05
don't know. Right.
33:08
>> Yeah. I bet I bet we get more of that or
33:09
or may maybe we get a a couple Yeah. a
33:12
couple villains showing up. I don't
33:14
know.
33:14
>> Oh, yeah. I I wouldn't be surprised by
33:16
that at all. Maybe a song and dance
33:18
number even there. Um
33:20
>> but uh I I think it'll be interesting
33:25
because it it looks like it's it's going
33:27
to be very much a
33:31
Maleficent centered land.
33:35
>> And it'll be fun to see how they get all
33:39
of the other villains in this. Like
33:41
what's the story? Like I'd love if we
33:42
got the story for why they're all there
33:44
and um and then how that story continues
33:47
out through the parks. Um because you
33:49
know it's going to be it like what it's
33:51
going to be and um and my hope is that
33:53
it's not a oh we're having a day where
33:56
we invite everybody else into this
33:59
realm. Um because I feel like that's
34:01
what they're leaning on a lot right now.
34:02
Whether it's, you know, Monsters Inc.
34:04
over at Hollywood Studios or um where
34:08
you're going for Human Day or like I
34:10
just feel isn't that what the Zootopia
34:12
um idea is too and um I would like a
34:15
like let's come up with a different
34:17
thing for that because I feel like it's
34:19
getting used a lot. Um I think right
34:23
next to it there's been a lot of chatter
34:26
about the building that's going in kind
34:29
of next to um Haunted Mansion and I hope
34:33
we get an announcement about whatever
34:34
that is like is it extended queue or
34:37
like a new Q space? Is it um you know a
34:41
Haunted Mansion lounge? All a Beacon
34:43
Barrel. Uh like I I could I could see
34:46
that if Beacon Barrel is doing that
34:47
well. And if the Cruise Line
34:51
>> Haunted Mansion is doing that well, then
34:54
yes. I Why Why wouldn't you over there?
34:57
Other than if they do do that, I hope
34:59
they make it distinct enough and
35:01
different enough that
35:04
if you've been in one, you don't want to
35:06
go to the other, you know, like like
35:09
kind of the oh, I already went on on the
35:10
cruise. This one isn't as good. Like I
35:12
would rather be I'd rather be like the
35:15
difference between Haunted Mansion in
35:16
California and Haunted Mansion in in
35:18
Florida where it's like, oh, this is a
35:20
distinctly different attraction with the
35:23
same kind of through lines, right? Um, I
35:26
wouldn't be surprised, uh, speaking of
35:30
similar things that they could update,
35:32
uh, Star Wars Galaxy's Edge at Hollywood
35:34
Studios. I think they get the music in
35:36
the expanded timeline.
35:38
>> Like, I think that's just a matter of
35:39
time. I wouldn't be surprised if that's
35:41
announced.
35:42
>> There's no rights issues coast to coast
35:45
for for that because Disney
35:46
>> There's no Marvel issue.
35:47
>> Yeah. No. Yeah. No Marvel issue.
35:49
>> Yeah. Um, back at Magic Kingdom, I
35:53
wouldn't be surprised if they get a
35:55
Space Mountain uh announcement.
35:57
And do you think they get Tokyo's?
36:01
No, I think I think they do their kind
36:04
of what they did here, which is do you
36:06
remember in like 2004
36:09
>> where they ripped out the entire inards
36:11
of
36:12
>> and then put it back in basically
36:14
>> but 10 ft lower whatever it was and and
36:17
it was smoother and and like I think the
36:19
attraction gets updated inside and gets
36:22
modernized but basically stays the same.
36:25
Like I I I'm assuming you get like the
36:28
>> the um speakers in the attraction, you
36:31
know, in the ride vehicles now. Maybe
36:33
you get the double over so you can fit
36:35
more people on it.
36:36
>> And um but I I don't expect it to be a
36:40
completely different
36:42
thing. I'm I'm going to I'm going to I
36:44
don't think we get that yet.
36:46
>> Okay. I think we or or they get it gets
36:49
talked about barely because I think
36:51
they're going to have to finish the
36:53
other side of the park before they work
36:55
on that side with that attraction.
36:58
Here's my counter logic to that.
37:01
What if it becomes too popular on that
37:04
side of the park and you need to draw
37:06
over to the other side of the park?
37:07
>> Yeah. No, no. I I I think I think you
37:09
do. I I think time li time time
37:11
timelinewise construction costwise
37:16
they're not going to do that much
37:18
construction at the same time.
37:20
>> Okay. Okay. But but I I would say I
37:22
would say this. I bet it it would mirror
37:24
the villains area being built.
37:27
>> I can see that. But yeah.
37:29
>> Well and and I think even if it's
37:31
announced, I would not be surprised if
37:33
they're like go on the old version now
37:35
because it's going, you know, kind of
37:36
like they give us the nice announcement
37:37
before. Um, and it's a year or two out
37:40
uh for closing. Um, I think just from
37:43
the nature of everything we've heard
37:45
about this this evening, there will be
37:47
uh
37:49
>> at least one major carousel of project
37:51
progress announcement. Maybe it's that
37:55
>> he's in the attraction.
37:57
Like part of me expects to walk out of
38:00
Saturday night going like, "Oh, Neil
38:02
Patrick Harris is the new father." You
38:04
know, like new John or something. Yeah.
38:06
Um, I have Yeah, I I feel like it's
38:10
either that or they might use him
38:12
somewhere else, but um I think we'll get
38:16
some sort of an announcement or maybe we
38:18
even hear the new version of the um
38:22
Great Big Beautiful tomorrow or we we
38:24
get a first look at like a completed
38:28
Walt like I don't know. Yeah, I think we
38:30
get something for that.
38:32
>> Um
38:34
I think
38:36
Do I have anything else for Magic
38:37
Kingdom? Uh, do you have anything else
38:39
for Magic Kingdom?
38:41
No, I I I even forgot about the the uh
38:45
Carousel Progress getting the new
38:47
>> Well, and and that's Yeah, I think
38:49
that's going to be a through line
38:50
throughout the entire evening, too, is
38:52
like I think I will be shocked if we
38:55
don't hear him at least sing that song
38:57
at one point during the night, if not
38:59
multiple times. Um because I wouldn't be
39:02
surprised if that's the story or like
39:04
that's what they use as their progress
39:06
of Disney experiences. Um I think we
39:11
kind of already hit on Hollywood Studios
39:13
like we're going to get a Monsters Inc.
39:15
update like the land the the
39:17
restractions.
39:18
>> I think I think that's all we get. Well
39:19
that and then you said the um Star Wars
39:21
Galaxy's Edge stuff but I don't get the
39:24
show too in the Monsters Inc. area.
39:26
>> Yeah. But I don't think we're going to
39:28
get anything big,
39:32
you know, that's new. Yeah, I agree. Um,
39:36
and then finally, Epcot. I think there's
39:38
a chance. There's actually chances for
39:41
three things, and they're all a little
39:43
bit of a fool's hope with all of these.
39:45
Um, the first one I think this week got
39:48
a little bit more possible is they do
39:51
have the um I think it's a pilot order
39:54
for the Spaceship Earth series.
39:57
And
39:58
>> so that makes me wonder if we'd go back
40:01
to 2019 and be like, "Hey, we're going
40:03
to update Spaceship Earth." And and
40:06
anybody who's been on Spaceship Earth
40:07
the last few years knows it needs some
40:09
love even after it's gotten
40:10
refurbishments. like it needs it needs
40:13
to be really uh worked on and um from
40:17
what I understand this is um I think
40:20
it's kids or teenagers from different
40:21
time periods coming together to kind of
40:24
save humanity but they go through the
40:26
story of of Spaceship Earth through this
40:28
if it gets picked up as a series and um
40:30
if it does get picked up I mean maybe
40:33
it's too early for an announcement but
40:35
maybe this is coming out because there's
40:37
going to be an announcement I don't know
40:39
but I'd love it Um, the other thing I
40:43
think that's the big elephant in the
40:45
room that everybody keeps um, every D23
40:49
speculating about and hoping for is uh,
40:51
Journey into Imagination. Will it get an
40:53
update, a refresh, redone, whatever.
40:56
Will it still be Journey into or a
40:58
Figment Ride or will it be uh, Inside
41:00
Out or something? But um I think
41:04
>> I think there's a chance that there is
41:07
an announcement this time and this is
41:09
where Neil Patrick Harris comes in again
41:11
is he just did the how not to draw with
41:13
Figment and he was the voice.
41:16
>> So what if he was Dreamfinder?
41:20
So I don't like him as Dream
41:21
Dreamfinder. I don't either. But but
41:23
what if but yeah [clears throat] I mean
41:26
or or is he someone else?
41:29
[snorts] is he someone else and they
41:31
have someone else's dream find he's
41:32
dreamfinder's assistant or whatever it
41:34
might be and does the Q stuff and then
41:37
you we get again that it's everyone's
41:39
dream just like I want adventures of
41:41
enter space back and the people mover
41:44
there's always that hope that like oh
41:45
can we get Dreamfinder back as a you
41:49
know uh not a non-D Disney character but
41:51
a but a catalyst for imagination yeah
41:54
and and a parks character you know
41:56
that's
41:57
>> we have a lot of fun with those
41:59
characters And and if they were to bring
42:01
him back, maybe that brings in more park
42:03
characters that we, you know, either
42:06
know and love or haven't met yet. Yeah.
42:09
Well, and Figments,
42:11
at least in the last few years that I've
42:13
seen, is is more popular than ever. And
42:18
you think of the um
42:21
the merchandise, the meet and greet,
42:24
which was, you know, the announcement
42:26
last time. And I feel like he's more
42:30
popular than ever and everything else
42:33
has gotten updated except for the
42:35
attraction. And so I wouldn't be
42:36
surprised if we got a completely
42:40
like like what they're doing with uh
42:43
Carousel of Progress like they've done
42:44
with um you know Walt Disney Magical
42:48
Life. Like there's I think there's a
42:51
they keep talking about how they're
42:53
reinvesting in the classics and I wonder
42:55
if this is the time to reinvest in the
42:58
imagination pavilion and really make it
43:00
about imagination in a new way because
43:04
we now have ways to access and to tap
43:07
into imagination if we want to more than
43:09
ever before. And um so I'd be curious to
43:12
see if they could come up with a new
43:14
story for that. If they could come up
43:16
with a new um concept for that, like and
43:20
if and if it still uses Figment, which I
43:23
assume it would because I just think
43:24
he's more popular than ever right now,
43:25
so why not?
43:30
>> Only other place I have Oh, I have two
43:32
actually more on this list for Walt
43:34
Disney World. Um, do they decide they're
43:37
going to do something with Wonders of
43:38
Life, which has been empty for a few
43:41
years now?
43:42
>> Um, I would love to see something happen
43:44
there, having just listened to the uh
43:47
soundtrack for it or it's area music
43:49
recently, and I don't know what that
43:52
would be. I don't have any thoughts. Um,
43:55
it's also in kind of a weird spot, but I
43:57
feel like you could you could make it
43:59
into something. Um, even you could even
44:04
probably make it fit into something with
44:07
Wonders of Life, with some character or
44:09
something. Um, the other thing that that
44:12
seems like it's been talked about a lot
44:14
that wouldn't surprise me at all is if
44:16
we get a new hotel announced for Walt
44:18
Disney World.
44:20
>> Maybe by Epcot
44:22
because that seems like that's one
44:24
that's talked about a lot. Or maybe
44:26
it'll be another one that they're like,
44:28
"Oh, we have more room by Bay Lake."
44:31
[laughter] I mean, it would it would be
44:32
ne I mean, having stayed at the Swan
44:34
Dolphin a couple of times,
44:37
>> the hotel, but it's not it's not
44:38
currently run by Disney. It's run by
44:40
Marriott,
44:42
[snorts]
44:42
>> with it being next to Epcot, why isn't
44:44
there an international hotel? Oh, that's
44:47
that's an interesting idea that that
44:49
leans in that leans into, oh, don't
44:51
worry, we speak your language.
44:54
>> You have enough cast members there that
44:55
can handle anyone who comes in.
44:58
>> It's it's a friendly place to be. You
45:01
you give it a you give it a big look.
45:03
You point it towards the the
45:07
park so you could watch whatever is
45:09
going on in the um
45:11
>> the lake.
45:13
>> And then Yeah. And then it's just it
45:15
just looks like a a model UN, you know,
45:17
all the flags out.
45:20
>> I mean, that's that's
45:21
>> you know, armchair imagineering there.
45:23
But
45:23
>> see, and I'd like to see it somewhere
45:25
near the front because I'd like to be
45:26
able to walk into the front of Epcot at
45:28
the beginning of the day. Um Oh, yeah.
45:30
Yeah. [laughter]
45:31
No, I I just mean facing it, but like
45:33
facing the ball. Yeah. Yeah.
45:35
>> Yeah. Because I feel like they they
45:36
could move parking lots around or
45:38
something. Like I feel like there's
45:39
space to be found. Um, that is the
45:41
wonderful thing about Florida. And as
45:44
you were talking about that, I thought
45:45
of one more prediction. Is is this the
45:48
time that we get an update of what the
45:50
next phase of Disney Skyliner is?
45:53
>> I've heard nothing about this.
45:55
>> Where's next?
45:56
>> Yeah, I'd be cool with that.
45:58
>> Yeah, can't go wrong with that. All
46:00
right, let's talk about Disneyland
46:03
Paris. I I don't think there's going to
46:04
be as much news because usually when it
46:06
gets international, they they tend to
46:09
focus a little bit more locally in that
46:11
regard, which is totally fair. Um I
46:13
think we get a Lion King, the attraction
46:15
area update. Maybe we get to see some
46:18
scenes. Um it wouldn't surprise me at
46:20
all if the um if that model, which is
46:24
already completed, is there. Um you
46:27
know, we've all seen it with the Bob
46:29
Iger and Josh Dearo picture, thing like
46:31
that. Um, I also wouldn't be surprised.
46:34
This might be a little bit pie in the
46:35
sky and a stretch is if we find out what
46:38
the next um I don't even know what to
46:40
call it, land area, whatever for Disney
46:43
Adventure World around Adventure Bay is.
46:46
>> Yeah, I could I could see that. Yeah,
46:47
the next the next IP that they add to
46:49
Adventure Bay.
46:51
>> And and I could just for argument and to
46:53
to play with everything, I could imagine
46:56
it being either Zootopia [laughter] or
46:59
Avatar.
47:02
I I just saying. Well, because this is
47:06
the other fun part about Disney is when
47:08
you hear these rumors and these
47:09
conversations going around, it's like
47:11
where did they come from? And and so I'm
47:13
like part of me wonders if if Zootopia
47:16
is is heading for Disney Adventure World
47:20
and that's what led it to Disney
47:21
California Adventure, the rumor, you
47:23
know, like something like that. I don't
47:24
know. Um, also because it's Disneyland
47:26
Paris, the only other thing I've got is
47:28
we get a next whatever their next
47:30
greatest uh entertainment offering is
47:33
going to be because they they lean into
47:34
that pretty heavy.
47:35
>> Yeah, I could see that. Do you have
47:37
anything else for for Disney?
47:39
>> Yeah,
47:40
>> I was like I feel like there's not as
47:41
much there especially for us over here
47:44
um overseas. Do you have anything you
47:47
think?
47:50
>> Uh I details on the Spider-Man
47:52
attraction for Shanghai. Absolutely. And
47:55
isn't there one in uh Hong Kong also?
47:58
>> Is there is there Yeah. So yeah,
48:00
>> I think we get more on both of those.
48:02
>> Yeah. Um let's see.
48:08
>> I think we get an update maybe on Space
48:11
Mountain in Tokyo, which we just talked
48:13
about,
48:14
>> right? And the Tomorrowland refresh,
48:17
whatever you want to call that,
48:17
reimagining. Um, I think at some point
48:22
there could be an announcement for uh a
48:25
second gate at Shanghai uh Disney, but
48:29
part of me wonders if you hold that off
48:31
for the uh D23 Ultimate Disney fan event
48:34
in Singapore next year
48:36
>> probably. Like I could see because we've
48:38
all seen the concept arts going around
48:40
and whatever, but um I don't know. Do we
48:43
get do we get a more fleshed out map for
48:45
Abu Dhabi? That was the other one on my
48:47
list is I'm like I think we get
48:48
something even if they're just like,
48:50
"Oh, this is our castle concept or this
48:53
is our
48:54
>> these are the lands that will be there."
48:56
>> Yeah. Or or you know, maybe it's
48:58
something as simple as this is the
49:00
official name and logo. Uh
49:02
>> yeah,
49:02
>> because we really we don't know that
49:04
it's like will it be Disney Abu Dhabi?
49:06
Will it be Disney Abu Dhabi Disney? Like
49:08
we don't have a a direct name.
49:10
>> Adventure Adventure Dobby.
49:13
>> Yeah. You know. Yeah. Disney Abu
49:15
Adventure, Abu Dhabi Adventure, I don't
49:18
know. Uh, don't ask us to do the names,
49:20
Disney. Uh, finally, I think Disney
49:22
Cruise Line, we get quite a few
49:24
announcements.
49:26
>> Um, we know there's a new class of ship
49:28
coming uh, in a couple of years. I
49:30
wouldn't be surprised if we saw or got
49:33
more details about that flushed out. I
49:35
think we're going to get a peak behind
49:37
the curtain at what the next chapter for
49:39
it is because already we're seeing it's
49:41
growing rapidly and they sped up the
49:44
timeline in the um uh earnings call last
49:48
week. So everything's well not
49:51
everything but the ex the current
49:53
expansion is going to be done by 2030
49:56
instead of 2031. And to me you do that
49:59
because you've got a plan for what's
50:00
next. And so, um, I'm expecting that
50:03
actually might be one of the bigger
50:05
announcements is here's where we go next
50:08
and in painting that picture of this is
50:12
the Disney cruise line that we have
50:13
today and which will have 13 ships in it
50:16
in a couple years. Maybe we're going for
50:19
20 ships or I don't I don't know. I'm
50:21
throwing something out. Maybe that's a
50:23
little bit ambitious. But, um, you know,
50:25
maybe it's that. Maybe it's the new um a
50:28
new name. Maybe it's a new destination.
50:31
Like I think there's there's
50:32
possibilities cuz we got uh lighthouse,
50:36
what is it? Disney key at Lighthouse
50:38
Point, whatever that is.
50:39
>> That was a D23 announcement. So I you
50:42
know those kind of things happen. So I
50:43
think that would that's a possibility.
50:47
>> And I know how much you love cruises, so
50:49
I won't
50:49
>> I love cruises so much. But the but I I
50:52
could I could see it. I could see, you
50:55
know, I could see new location easily.
50:59
Mhm. I think it'd be great. All right.
51:02
Um, I think we have covered
51:04
the experiences showcase and the
51:07
entertainment showcase. And there's so
51:08
much more we could do. I didn't count
51:10
how many there were. Maybe I will go
51:11
back later and see how many predictions
51:13
we made cuz that could be kind of funny
51:15
uh for the title for this. But um I
51:17
think we've gone long enough cuz our
51:18
brains are starting to fry a little bit.
51:20
And it's it's definitely warm in
51:22
Southern California in a studio that
51:23
does not have air conditioning. So, uh,
51:27
we didn't talk about Kingdom of Hearts
51:28
4.
51:29
>> Oh, yeah. And the movie, you know, they
51:31
got to make a movie. Um, we do have one
51:33
last thing though we need to do. If you
51:35
could have one wishlist item that you
51:40
could be like like budget doesn't
51:42
matter, timing doesn't matter, all of
51:44
like pie in the sky, whatever it is.
51:46
What is the one thing that you wish they
51:48
would do slashannounce at this D23? And
51:51
it could be for either night.
51:54
You know my answer to this.
51:56
>> I'll see if it's same as mine.
51:58
>> We're bringing back the people mover.
52:00
>> Oh, that's 100% mine. [laughter]
52:04
>> Uh, I think if they were to announce
52:06
bringing back the people mover, they
52:09
could they could basically say anything
52:11
else they wanted and everybody would be
52:13
like, "All right, we're there.
52:14
>> Like, sign me up. I'll I'll take it."
52:16
You if you're if it's the uh the devil's
52:19
the devil's uh bid of
52:22
>> it's gonna be Avatar Land. Sorry, but
52:25
you're getting the people mover. I go, I
52:27
can't wait to get one of those little
52:28
dragons for my shoulder.
52:30
>> It's going to be great. And then I'm
52:31
going to ride the people mover with it.
52:33
>> Yes. And I'm going to say thank you,
52:34
Avatar. [laughter]
52:37
>> No, I that's 100% my my uh pie in the
52:40
sky wish as well. But uh I think we made
52:42
I think we made progress. We'll see how
52:44
close or far we were on our predictions
52:46
in just a few days at D23. And DAPS
52:49
Magic will be covering all of it. we
52:51
will be getting no sleep so that you can
52:52
get all of the information. So, make
52:54
sure you've subscribed wherever you
52:56
possibly can to follow us and I will be
52:58
doing my best to do a daily update at
53:00
the end of each day and getting it up on
53:02
YouTube as quickly as possible as well.
53:05
But I think we've covered what we're
53:06
going to cover for this week. Let us
53:08
know your predictions, what you think we
53:10
got right, what you think we got wrong,
53:12
what we didn't think of in the comments.
53:14
That would be a blast. Leave those
53:16
ratings so that other people can find us
53:18
and uh connect with us and have these
53:21
conversations as well. If you like these
53:23
kind of conversations and you like to
53:25
talk with Clocky and I, you got a couple
53:27
different ways you can do this. You can
53:28
head over to DAPSHQ or DAPSmagic HQ at
53:32
dapshq.com where Clocky and I often chat
53:35
in our uh in our forums there, I guess
53:37
you could call it. You can also head
53:40
over and catch our podcast called
53:42
Photoix where we look at old photos from
53:44
the parks and talk about them and uh we
53:47
sound similar to this I think. And then
53:50
also you can find Clocky at scent from
53:52
disney. You can go to scentfrodland.com
53:55
or you can find him on just about any
53:56
podcast network I think. And am I right
53:59
there? You're right there. And then also
54:01
for social media you can follow him
54:02
there as well. But we are going to end
54:06
it there. So, make it a great week
54:08
everybody. Keep kind and we'll see you
54:10
in the parks.
