Didn't the Slinky Dog coaster get a lukewarm response at the last one? Or am I thinking of something else?
FEA was not announced at D23... you're thinking of the initial Fantasyland Expansion announcement. The one with all Meet & Greets and a clone of a meh Mermaid ride.Toy Story Land as a whole got a decent reception in the room. Frozen Ever After prompted a somewhat more... tepid reaction.

I thought The Crap Kingdom (aka: make a birthday card with Cinderella) was shown off at some blogger event and had a literal reaction of "omg, that's awful" from the audience of bloggers and fanboys?
Second - Havaivanas has a booth.
Eh...? Like, yeah Sunglasses Hut has one too, but a random flip flop company?
Havaivanas actually is one of the biggest flip-flop brands in the world. Also they have a good relationship w/Disney through their stores at Disney Springs and DTD Anaheim.Random notes:
The D23 app for iPhone has some info on various offerings and such. Nothing amazing but it's easy to look up the schedule and see what's going to be going on.

Well, it has a higher stock price than Mitsukoshi (sponsor of the Japan pavilion) and is about the same as HP (sponsor of Mission: Space).
Not bad for a Brazilian flip flop company, eh?
I'm inclined to believe it wasn't of much importance or out of the norm, but there is the possibility that they had anyone they told something too sign a NDA.Hence my pointing out the financials as they relate to other Epcot pavilion sponsors
But on that Epcot announcement rumor - call centers have too many low wage workers who have friends on the internet for us not to have heard something if this was true.
It's either not something they saw as important (and they'd see most things the way we do - maybe a bit more biased toward doubt of company claims of wonderfulness) or not a real thing at all.
There's a market for that.
If they at all understand Disney fans and the way that most of them share Walt's interest in transit and the world on the move, sure, I could see them devoting just a minute or so to talking about the gondolas.With respect to the gondolas, is that really the sort of announcement that would be made in a keynote-style presentation designed to get fans hyped? Would they use a chunk of their 90 minutes to talk about a new fleet of buses, or a new ferry?
EDIT: In fact, here it is! Listen at 00:37 at how excited the crowd gets when they say they're nearly doubling Fantasyland...and how quiet they quickly get seconds later.
If I was to guess, we will get a window of time announced for Kingdom Hearts 3 .
