I think that by D23 2019, a lot of what’s been announced will be open and I think they’ll surprise us with a few more announcements and the full plan for Futureworld would be great

I hope so. I know 2 years would be a rush, but they can do it. While this year's D23 was more exciting than expected, I will be disappointed if it's all we get for the 50th. Especially now that the theater has been cancelled. On the other hand, they are adding plenty of stuff BEFORE the 50th to get excited about. Magic Kingdom will still be the only truly "complete" park, though Epcot will be close.
 




So Cove Bar is reopening March 16th for the Spring Break crowds? Interesting to see how they will transform it in a month :)

They will have 2 months and it’s really just getting a paint job and some new finishing touches. It’s what was Ariel Grotto that is getting the majority of the changes.

Just now sitting on the balcony at the Boardwalk watching Illuminations. (Not the greatest view but can see all the fireworks) DVC is awesome.

So good, enjoy.

Was there 3 weeks ago and have BW View again next week, just can't wait.

One of the best investments ever.

Would the 7 dwarf ride be just as popular if they made it all around mining and left out Snow White/Dwarfs? I would guess yes. Would an amazing indoor coaster themed around space/technology bring in as much as a guardians ride at Epcot? Again, I would guess yes.

My point is more that those IP's don't detract from those projects, there's only "upside" interest for the public by adding an IP-at least IMO.

You are correct if they announced an amazing indoor coaster is coming to any park at WDW that there would be great anticipation and popularity, but how does adding an IP tie in not increase interest even further, esp to the greater masses.

Again, I doubt there is anybody waiting to plan a trip to WDW once they finally add a Non IP attraction.

No fist pounding that it's Star Wars Land-I was hoping for generic Space Land, or Rat wasn't just a generic beetle attraction etc.

If they announced that everything under construction was being stripped of the planned IP, Tron, Rat, GOTG, Star Wars Land, Toy Story Land and all becoming generic rebrands, they would indeed still be super popular and highly anticipated, I just don't think as much as with the IP's attached. I will admit I cannot prove it would be though, maybe it indeed would be more popular and have more anticipation without the IP's.

Sure, but they also need to fit the theme is my point. I think throwing random IP does take away from the projects much in the way skimping on theming does. Of course there's nobody upset at Star Wars land. But I bet if they announced Groot would have a dance party in the Canteen people would lose their minds. I don't want all IP stripped. I would be fine with non-IP, but I don't even really care about that. I want the IP to fit the theme. I think the immersive theming is much more important than the IP.
 
Disney’s Social Media Moms Celebration is ongoing like I said earlier and is why we got some of the little news that we did today.

I can’t get over the fact that many of these invitees can’t get any of the names for this new stuff right or that they are calling Mickey waffles Mickey pancakes. Disney Light the night parade for example....

That's always interesting. You know what it is though is that a lot of the folks who get invited are not necessarily people who are very knowledgeable about Disney. There are lots of parent bloggers who are at Disney for their very first time during this event.

Oh I know but when Disney is presenting on these topics with the correct names then they can’t tweet that name? Some were calling Toy Story Land- Toy Land instead. Disney gave them the info I didn’t think it was hard to at least get the name right. Just find it interesting.
