Yeah, that was heavily rumored replacement for about 2-3 years. Makes sense that they would come back to it with them getting a lot of pushback on the Moana/Zootopia concept.Indy as I heard several years ago...

Encanto has an entire kid whose whole powers are that he can talk to animals, it’s really cool, but totally secret. And you know what? Life’s never been the same.I have to say the Moana idea was better that IP definitely fits Animal Kingdom more than Encantocand Indiana Jones does but at least it's not a zootopia land
Remember in 2017 when they announced like 20 something things? Sure some got cancelled, but that happens when you announce projects early. When you actually go back and look, almost everything announced at that massive D23 DID happen and they announced a lot.The absolute gall to continue to present “I dunno, maybe?” ideas at these things. Company is a shell of its former self. Absolutely no confidence in their own product
Has to be funding.... right? There's no other excuse.
They still will not fully commit to this, but Zootopia and Moana seem to have been dropped for Encanto and Indy with Zootopia replacing It's Tough To Be A bug. I admit I like this a lot better than Moana and Zootopia as it looks like it fits DAK much better.
Are you seriously suggesting an Encanto ride centered on the one character (as far as I remember) who doesn't sing a song?Encanto has an entire kid whose whole powers are that he can talk to animals, it’s really cool, but totally secret. And you know what? Life’s never been the same.
Just focus on him and have the ride be focused around him, ]
I can't disagree more. This area looks very cohesive compared to what Moana/Zootopia was pitched as and it also is themed to, essentially, South America, which continues the continent theme.Are you seriously suggesting an Encanto ride centered on the one character (as far as I remember) who doesn't sing a song?
Sorry DAK fans, the dream is dead. Pandora and Zootopia are dumb stretches, Moana was worse, this is the worst of all, The only theme is IP that sells merch. Sooner or later happens to everything at WDW.
If not central at least heavily featured, yes. Mainly because they'd already teased looking at MK for this expansion which tells me they at least considered the stretch of how to fit this into DAK. There's a universe that if you squint your eyes you can make this work (through an IP lens). Once you accept that we're never getting another Everest or anything remotely similar this is about the best that you can expect. I'm just happy that the rumor has moved away from entirely Zootopia.Are you seriously suggesting an Encanto ride centered on the one character (as far as I remember) who doesn't sing a song?

And on this the other big thing is that it still keeps Zootopia Land in play as a possibility to come to DHS as an expansion in the future, which is where it belongs.I'm just happy that the rumor has moved away from entirely Zootopia.
I dunno how people think Moana is a worst fit for AK than zootopia. Like Moana is about balancing/fixing nature and takes place on earth allowing animal exhibits plus has more nature style landscape verus a literal zootopia cityAre you seriously suggesting an Encanto ride centered on the one character (as far as I remember) who doesn't sing a song?

But Aren't there obvious solutions to the money problem? Like selling legacy media assets such as Freeform and A&E to venture capital? It seems like that's the surest way to dredge up the money needed for these projectsI’m annoyed that the parks barely had anything concrete to announce but it just dawned on me why nothing got the green light:
Hulu.
They’re stuck starting the valuation and buyback process and it’s going to be billions going out of Disney’s balance sheet, so they’re just priming the pump for when they can get to these things.
In related news, the new attraction in AK will be a jungle playground featuring the Predator. Unfortunately, his invisible camo will be permanently activated for budget purposes.(/sarcasm)
