D23 Expo 2026-News and Rumors

[Freak]

I’ve gotta say I’m pretty happy with the announcements at D23 this year. Theres already a LOT going on, so I didn’t expect anything too out-of-left field. It was great to get some more substantial details on what’s coming.

I didn’t expect to hear anything on DL’s TL or Dreamfinder and Figment or even the Yeti so I’m really happy to hear that! Even if it’s just confirmation with no further details,

Now that Iger is gone, I feel like the parks are moving in a good direction by these announcements. Of course things aren’t and won’t be perfect, but I’m happy with this “We hear you loud and clear” mentality they’re adapting.

Nice that they finally have a CEO that actually likes theme parks. The last two relegated parks to profit boosters to pay for their streaming and media ventures.

I'm genuinely excited for most of the Parks stuff. This is the first time I've felt this way since... idk, that one D23 when they announced Mary Poppins for the UK pavilion in like 2019?

It's going to take a lot to reverse or make up for all the genuinely despicable choices they've made in the past decade or so, but man. Fixing the Yeti, Villains Land actually looking good, restoring the Jules Verne theming to DLP Space Mountain, Carousel of Progress actually looking good (BRYAN CRANSTON IS THE DAD?), a new Coco ride that doesn't come at the cost of replacing something at DCA... Disneyland actually getting a new Tomorrowland after nine billion years??

I still think Piston Peak and Monsters Inc replacing Muppets are downright offensive/disrespectful and I'm VERY cautiously optimistic for the Imagination overhaul but like. They kind of knocked it out of the park.

Man, I'm just excited to see so many threads on here for active projects right now between Universal and Disney. 4 new lands for WDW (Piston Peak, Monsters Inc, Villains Land, Tropical Americas) is insane, and I'm genuinely excited for each one. Orlando fans are once again feasting.
