The Rumor Tracking Thread

I've heard of the potential of a Phase 3 and 4. I would imagine if they are smaller lands, they'll want to get them open in time for the 50th anniversary in 2021. Construction would probably begin soon after Star Wars opens in 2019.
I know it was bounced around during the blue sky phase but it sounded like it petered out since then. For the sake of us all I hope you're right

I see it the opposite, because of the momentum Star Wars Land going into the 50th, as well as Pandora and other construction), they have plenty to market around until after the 50th. A pahse 3 may be nothing more than overlaying what's left of the old DHS.

They have also have plans to spruce up MK for the 50th which will also be marketed. I'd love another land but I just don't see it happening.
 




Okay now for some juicy news from WDWMagic.com...

Martin has once again inferred that UoE WILL be GotG, so it is once again in the lead. Don't look for much more Marvel footprint in WDW. Look for more Marvel outside of WDW.
Per Martin and a few others - this D23 will confirm alot of what we have been rumoring, but it will also bring up somethings not yet speculated. He seems to be pretty excited for what will be announced.
No to Monstropolis to DHS - it was one of the options for phase 3 with some kind of adventure theme for phase 4 - but those went off the table when they put more money into SWE and moved to the site it is now being built on.
So net, no real expansion to DHS once TSL, SWE and Mickey ride are complete - just some sprucing to shows?
Epcot - it was also inferred with the GotG back in UoE, Future world will get renamed...no idea or hints of what will come.

He also inferred some info in D23 for MK, but not TL based.

I am at work and got the email that you posted so naturally I said "YES!" out loud

anyway my reactions
still against GotG in UoE but even MORE SO now that it means a name change for Future World. You can't take away FutureWorld AND TomorrowLand thats messed up!
If they change Future World to Discovery Land I like that a lot better than having a name change for tomorrowland at all tbh!

Not surprised about Monstropolis but I imagine itll be around some day.

I am interested in what MK non-TL news there could be.

I am happy to hear that marvel will larely not be involved with WDW at this time, someday it could be really cool to have a whole land but with universal there and just so many other IPs to tap into I am not feeling it!
 
This is what I'd like to see, so more a wish list.

Animal Kingdom
Everest in Animal Kingdom to close and for the Yeti to be properly fixed. Give Pandora a few months to calm and then close for refurb with the intention of it reopening before th 50th.
Dinoland to be bulldozed and replaced with something that's worthy of Animal Kingdom. Probably well after the 50th and everywhere else is finished being worked on.

Magic Kingdom
Haunted mansion restaurant to be real and Hatbox Ghost to be added to the ride
Thunder mountain to get the same updates as California
Tomorrowland to get a massive re-haul. I'd like the Tron coaster, a wreck it Ralf ride. Updates to carousel of progress.
Buzz to get a massive clean up

Epcot
Ratatooie in France and a Uk pavilion ride would be great. Alice would be my choice.
Leave a legacy to be completely cleared out and a better use of the area.
A presence from IP like UP and inside out that still ties into science.
Mission space to go asap
Illuminations to be updated. While nice, I find it boring now
Marvel to stay out of Epcot

Hollywood Studios
Tower of terror to stay as it is
RnR to be rethemed. Gotg if they really have too lol
Updates to fantastic
Animation courtyard to be more of a 'classic disney' area with one mans dream moving to where launch bay is and given a real look into Walts history and re-open the ability to have hand draw character classes again.
Indiana jones show to stay but be updated
Star Tours to go once SWE is open. Bulldoze the land and maybe put an Indiana Jones ride like in Disneyland Paris. That area I'd like to be Indiana.
TGMR to be reworked from the ground up but with the same format. Going through different movies in Disneys history.

I like all of this except closing pandora because I really don't think it needs to all be closed down for refurb just bits at a time like normal. Also U.K. Should be something other than Alice who already has a huge presence in the parks in my opinion

I'm pretty sure he meant after the crowds calm at Pandora close Everest for a refurb not Pandora.
 
Here's an interesting tid bit..just gotten from Martin at WDWmagic.com: One reason the GotG decision has been delayed is the legalities of using them in WDW. Evidently, something has changed as they seem to be moving forward with it.....and now makes me wonder if some other negotiation with Uni has happened and what has changed....

I still wonder that once the Guardians cross over with the other Avengers in infinity war they will become blacklisted in FL as well and WDI is just realizing that tidbit

supposedly it was that it was ok if they appear in an Avengers movie as long as they never become official members (in movie or comic book) - but maybe there was some confusion and now they have clarified / lawyers are happy (e.g. paid)?
 
The fact is, for the UK pavillion they have so many choices to pick from, which has been shared alot. We all have our favorites, and I know Mary Poppins is one of them.

You could have any of the following:
Mary Poppins, Sword in the stone, Dalmatians, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Brave, Bed Knobs and Broomsticks, Mr. Toad, and I am sure I am missing some.

I am going strictly on my gut here.....

So far we have Frozen in Norway(won't start argument again on if it fits or not....it is what it is), we have Rat going to France, so the additions seemed to be more toward the animation side of things. Most of the meet and greets are also animation related I believe except for UK with Mary Poppins. To me if you are going animation and Disney - then in UK you have to look at Alice, Sword in the stone, Dalmatians or Brave as the leaders would you not?

I love the idea of either Mary Poppins or Peter Pan much more so than Alice.
