    Good. Have media take a back seat and keep the parks moving forward. I’d like them to unload most of their more recently acquired ip.

  2. Tron Basic

    Animal Kingdom is about Animals and Adventure. Just build a new park already. Fix what's broken and Give everyone what they want. New Lands, stories, ideas, adventure, and exploration.

  5. Audrey

    Just went on the auction website and saw all those horrible Wall•E pins y'all opened up on Boxed In. 🫣🤣😬

  8. treadmenot

    Considering how long epcot walls been up look forward to expansion being completed by end of the century

  13. Adam Pittman

    Seriously as much as Moana and Zootopia are just IP plays and commercialization they fit in 1000% more at Animal Kingdom than Coco or Encanto or Indiana Jones ever would just scrap these plans completely, how about some maintenance and ride TLC on the existing rides that look like crap…maybe just a little attention to detail like Disney used to have, I mean at this point I have seen some Six Flags that have better maintained rides and buildings

  14. UmmYeahOk

    Animal Kingdom, dedicated to animals of the past, present, fantasy, and, oh, I dunno, Indiana Jones?

    Seriously! Galaxy’s Edge would’ve made more sense than this. At least, like Pandora, it had space fantasy animals.

    Just put Zootopia in there already!!! Clone DisneySea’s Atlantica and put a bunch of Little Mermaid and Nemo fish in it!!!

    That Sliding Sleghs coaster is about 30 seconds long. 🤷🏼‍♂️🙄🤷🏼‍♂️🙄

  16. Kevin Bhieey

    I hate to tell D'Amaro this, but replacing or retheming already existing rides is not "expanding". In fact, if the Encanto casita doesn't have a ride in it, then Animal Kingdom is actually "downsizing". Plopping down Pandora in Hollywood Land is also not "expanding". An actual expansion would be the Beyond Big Thunder idea, even though the Casita is now gone and the Villain "Land" was obviously a big ol' D23 lie. An "expansion" is an addition, not redecoration. Remember that when sent out to spread your gobbledygook.

    Disney sometimes backs themselves into a corner with their themeing and planning. The best example for this is Star Wars land. Indiana Jones will be a good addition to AK, the park is a glorified zoo, does anyone really care about a backstory?

  19. El Megalodon Green

    I personally feel that if they are going to switch dinosaur into an indiana jones ride I hope its themed on a south america jungle and not just mexico. Mexico is north america. Its kind of dissapointing if they go with Mexico instead as Peru, Colombia, Brazil where the theme of a south america jungle would be better.

  20. PK

    But they can’t hire more employees and pay them a reasonable wage?

  21. magical mousers

    Animal kingdom is missing an giant Oceanic sea land section. Would be nice if they expand that more there besides the sea life at Epcot . Alot of new learning about sea live needs to exist there

  22. Happy Masked Guy

    The more Disney keeps talking without following up with any action, the more fans lose trust, and the less confident investors become.

    You’ve made too many empty promises already Disney. Just stop. Break some ground and build already.

  23. Mc363

    Disney is all in but can’t give specifics. Wonder if they will give specifics next month when the blue sky plans change again and all the pixie dust buffers get excited.

    Remember, don’t ask questions, just consume product and get excited for next product.

    Everyone: This is outstanding, top tier Disney
    Tom: This is garbage, we can't support this

  26. The Drunken Odyssey

    In 2025, Universal will open a third gate in Central Florida with an abundance of new rides. When Bob Chapek led Disney, his response to entice Disney fans to stay excited about Disney during the Universal news was to raise prices, then when that was not popular enough, to raise more prices while insulting Disney guests. Now Disney is kind-of, sort-of excited to tear down Dinoland, since Dinosaurs are clearly a passing fad for children. What Disney fans NEED is obviously the visionary choice of a clone of an Indiana Jones ride that exists in two other global parks. After all, the overwhelming response to The Dial of Destiny can only mean everyone is clamoring for more of the same Indiana Jones. The only more exciting possibility is somehow to ride a Xerox machine that is printing images of another Xerox Machine. All in?

  30. Red Tiger

    I love Indiana Jones (first 3 movies) but I don't want them to just bring a copy past ride into Animal Kingdom. The point of going to either Disneyland or WDW is to experience something different.

  35. koopa159

    The rides in Disneyland and Tokyo are fantastic, but after it’s latest run at the box office, Disney may want to not double down on Indy any time soon.

  37. Eclectic Eros

    Suuuuuure. More lip service from Disney execs and pseudo imagineers. More pretty art and promises. More bullsh*t spewed to sate the hardcore fans, who are so easily taken advantage of and fooled. This company has gotten so ridiculous. Meanwhile…pay more. Stress more. Do less. But keep flying that mouse flag. Ugh, it's all so sad and annoying.

    Down the street a few miles; EPIC moving in on that special territory. Universal building dreams that can actually come true, instead of chatting and showboating about things that might take years. IF they are ever even realized.

  38. Eclipse horse

    Loving all of these magic band readers, clocks, displays, etc… can we get a security camera one that plays guest fight footage, and guests behaving badly? yanno, just to reminice and look back on fond memories of 2023 🙂 LOL

  41. Noreasta

    Encanto belongs in the Mexico pavilion in Epcot and Indiana Jones belongs in Hollywood Studios. This makes no sense. How about putting more focus on the guest experience that's been going downhill fast.
