Can't speak for the others, but I don't think we see Coco get announced or Star Wars Hotel.
For sure not Coco- 1) its not big enough news. 2) no one knows anything about Coco yet, and it seems very "blog-post" worthy. Not D23. Itd just be strange
No Brazil or Great Movie Ride update?

the reason why I think Coco is that it could be closer to be out than some may think; and that with the film being at the expo, it's very possible.

As for Brazil, the only way I can see that; is if it's contractually.

Regardless of what comes out- theres no way all of that would be announced in one fell swoop. If it did, then holy crap.... its unprecedented.

more star wars
more Toy Story Land
Rat ride in EPCOT
maybe Tron
probably Gondolas
thats it

At this point I'm not sold on anything regarding TRON. Not until I see permits.

I think whatever is happening in EPCOT will be announced. Rat, Energy project, and WS pavilion if that's happening.

More SWL info.

Gondolas.

Probably a DVC or something.

I'm not a big fan of the idea either. I think it works as a one night kind of thing but how many people are staying at WDW for one night?

I think a Star Wars resort in the Moderate or lower-tiered Deluxe price range could be a home run. But when I hear "boutique" I think Grand Floridian-like pricing, and I just don't know if there's a market for that

Nah. It's not unprecedented. Eisner did this kind of stuff all the time.

It'd be unprecedented if they actually built it all.

I'm as big of a fan of the Disney decade as the next guy- but excluding an entirely new park (yes, I realize new parks bookended that decade), when was there ever that much announced in a single year, not to mention a single announcement.

I can't see them touching that until Star Wars is done. The earliest I could see it is announcing it at the Star Wars Opening. They announce it now, it automatically gets associated with what the park is now. Better to wait till it's "fixed", and rebrand it then, so they can market it fresh.

Don't forget the Cruise Lines and remember they've only got 90 minutes for a presentation so I wouldn't get expectations too high.

Jim Hill on the latest Disney Dish says he thinks Guardians, Ratatouille, and Gondolas get announced for Epcot, and maybe a tease that a new country is coming to World Showcase.

He says the only guaranteed thing we'll get though, is a more thorough description of Star Wars lands, and maybe an example of an autonomous droid that will roam the lands.
