[belloq87]

Does anybody know if the Parks & Resorts panel will be streaming? If not, can anybody recommend a good source for real-time updates, or a live blog? Is anybody from this site going to be there?

I would imagine that sites like Micechat and Attractions Magazine will be there for the breaking news, but keep an eye on twitter on those platforms as-well as groups like ParksandCons.

Knowing where a company is going can be used to increase morale and retain employees from leaving.

Especially when the other side of things isn't going as well as hoped. (Disney Channel, ABC, freeform, ESPN)

Knowing where a company is going can be used to increase morale and retain employees from leaving.

Especially when one of your parks is suffering capacity problems, and that one is about to go in a massive redevelopment period; with one just about going out.

I'll be at SeaWorld during the presentation. I'll adjust the Kraken VR set to the one of the expo streams.

Disney treats D23 a lot like San Diego Comic-Con. No livestreams, nobody ends up doing liveblogs like they do for tech events. Twitter updates will be your best bet.

I honestly don't understand why Disney doesn't cover these big park events like Apple covers the iPhone launches. So much lost publicity.

To add a bit more rumor to the flame, MiceAge is mentioning that Bugs Land at DCA would be removed for a Marvel project, with the ITtbaB theater converted and changed to house a family D-Ticket dark ride.

Interesting...that DCA's Guardians of the Galaxy is experiencing such horrid capacity issues, 500 to 900 max an hour. No wonder the lines are long.

That's the the plan I've always heard.

Do we think they will talk about nighttime entertainment? Will MSEP be gone for good or move back to MK? Will PtN remain at DL or move to DCA?

I'd doubt it'd be announced at D23, but CM's have been informed for Paint the Night being at DCA starting in November.

As for MSEP, god I hope they end it's suffering.

That's the the plan I've always heard.

Fascinating. In that case, interested to see if it's announced at the expo.
