    Rumor D23 2026 WDW Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

    7DMT-intensity Fuji coaster. Would balance out Guardians being essentially the far opposite of the park and more intense. You can put whatever IP you want on it. I'd love them to finally license Godzilla from Toho (especially given Disney already let Mitsukoshi sell Godzilla toys anyway), but...

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    Cheap doesn't inherently equal bad, just as expense doesn't necessarily equal good. It depends on how the resources are used. There are many examples of this I could point to, both in the theme park space and in other areas. I also don't think it's fair to suggest that Dinoland had no visible...

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    Ah, true, my bad, I got them mixed up with peccaries since they have funky tusks too, just not visible like a male babirusa's.

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    Thing is, a capybara exhibit really wouldn't take much more than the footprint of the croc and bird exhibit (people keep forgetting that one!) that were there. I think it's understandable if technical constraints prevented, say, a jaguar or tapir exhibit, but capys are experiencing a surge of...

    Dinosaur has seen better days

    Currently, unless something changed from just yesterday, the whole ride is still operating at 98% almost like in the video up there. The only major issue is that the Alioramus is lit up too early so if you look towards it instead of keeping your eyes on the Styracosaurus, you see it dead still...

    Hoping my buddy the Saltasaurus hangs in there til the end... It's already limited in motion by default but it's still a big honking animatronic.

    Soarin’ Across America to replace Soarin’ Around the World for Nation’s 250th Birthday

    OOPS, you're right! Apologies for any offense. I meant to refer to the river. Fixed.

    Soarin’ Across America to replace Soarin’ Around the World for Nation’s 250th Birthday

    Hmm, good choices... I'd also throw in 1) El Morro Fort; 2) either Mauna Loa erupting, flying over Valley of the Temples Memorial Park, or surfing off Waikiki; and 3) dogsledding along the Yukon. I feel like including Puerto Rico, Hawaii and Alaska gives a fuller breadth of how varied America...

    DAK “Zootopia” is being created for the Tree of Life theater

    I think it's fairly guessable that the livestream bit is a setup, and then "things happen" to justify the 3D effects. I'll eat crow if I'm wrong but like, it just makes sense. Philharmagic isn't an actual concert, after all, that's just the setup to get you in the seats.

    EPCOT EPCOT's The Seas with Nemo and Friends Now Closing Early at 7 PM Daily

    awww, but I wanted to use my rhetorical pitchfork for once! Good to know!

    EPCOT EPCOT's The Seas with Nemo and Friends Now Closing Early at 7 PM Daily

    Good catch. Normally I give park ops a break given what they have to put up with from management and up, but this is pretty hilariously inexcusable. What you've described as being down is like 75% of what people like the ride for. Should not be running!

    The Disneyland Pig Conspiracy

    Rocco Botte, a part of the Mega64 comedy group, has uncovered a Disney Parks conspiracy unlike any other... LABEL YOUR PIGS CORRECTLY DISNEY!! :bookworm::arghh: ... in all seriousness, what a weird coincidence that Disney would label two different Horizon pigs as being Pirates of the...

    Mm, I understand this is a common gripe dinosaur fans have about dino depictions. Personally I feel like Dinosaur avoids that. The only dinosaur that hunts you is Carnotaurus, the pterosaur that divebombs you is defending its nest. The rest you just drive by.

    Perfect! I get in on the 12th. Here's hoping they don't close the line too early, lol....
