Its insane to me that animal kingdom doesnt have any rides based off of the lion king, a movie about *An Animal Kingdom*

An “Emotional Rollercoaster” would be ideal for Inside Out. Fully indoor coaster similar to Gringotts where it’s part coaster and part dark ride.

YES!!! Restore the Wonders Of Life Pavilion and give the Inside Out characters the Cranium Command attraction!

Chances of a PeopleMover announcement: 1000%

While I’m looking forward to d23 this year, I’ll be pissed if Disney goes on stage to do another “Hey we got ideas for things that we wanna do and we could do this or that”. Blue sky has no real place at that event this year. We need solid concrete ready to construct plans

I love the idea of Inside Out being in the Wonders of Life building

They really need to lean into small dark rides more. Another Peter Pan style ride would be a huge hit no matter what the IP.

I think anything involving Inside Out and the Imagination pavilion would be such an obvious home run for Disney. So my prediction is there will be no mention of it.

I still think it’s a shame that they didn’t keep and update Great Movie Ride and then transform the animation courtyard area into a full ToonTown of sorts and put Runaway Railway there. It is so much better at Disneyland with the wonderful “El Capitoon” theater facade and queue, the highly themed gift shop afterwards and then going out to ToonTown itself. It just all works and flows much better than the dreary Chinese Theater facade and queue.

Whatever they do, I hope there is lots of Air Conditioning & Shade. 💫

Feels like the encanto ride system will mirror Mystic Manor I feel

All eyes will be on Josh D'Amaro that day, as we see if he's gotten the message to stop the "Blue Sky" foot-dragging and start actually ANNOUNCING THINGS.

Cranium Command was basically Inside Out. Skippy was the leader, similar to Joy. They could reskin this attraction like they did with Alien Encounter to Stitch.

Hey Jack, just wanted to tell you ahead of time... thank you for your coverage of D23. Like you said in the video, you probably won't get a lot of sleep that weekend due to covering the event but on top of that, you are a Disney Dad so I'm sure you have a busy schedule. I look forward to your videos and hearing your opinions on the announcements.

Maybe they’ll actually build that Mary Poppins attraction at Epcot, also I’m hoping they update figment and bring back the dream. Finder, make it like the original but with updated technology. Also, I’m hoping they make an announcement about the play pavilion. They spent so much money on cleaning it and making it look nice and then they start installing props but then they just stop and then block it off from all guests.

give the people what they want and turn that animation ‘courtyard’ into a full blown mini muppet land.

I expect Lion King to be announced for Paris but NOT Animal Kingdom. The announcement would be more meaningful as a Paris exclusive, and it should be coming first. If it’s immediately shown as a clone, it sullies the announcement a bit, and many European travelers would just go to WDW instead. LK should be announced for AK once Tropical Americas nears completion. That way, all eyes are on Paris for a bit- and that park needs it more.

I'd love EPCOT to bring back a revamped Journey into Imagination and then bring us a Cranium Command back but make it Inside Out. Give those of us who long for older EPCOT but still bringing something new. EPCOT needs some help, and these rides have already existed and were so beloved. It would work.

I am exited for everything coming to Disneyland Paris! The resort needs more rides!

I love how the next big thing coming to Disneyland Paris castle park after 10+ years of nothing is the removal of an overlay! Still excited for the other resorts though.

Given that it’s in Honda Center (Ducks Hockey Arena) this year. I expect so huge announcements, especially with this new $70billion Disney Experiences budget

A Moana ride with a similar system of Shanghai Disneyland Pirates of the Caribbean would be great for the Florida’s Magic Kingdom.

Please update Figment😭😭🙏🙏

Instead of Avatar in the Hollywood back lot, I would love to see Zootopia in the Hollywood back lot because think about it, Zootopia already fits California adventure because of its urban setting. It could even include a monorail station inside the land. It doesn’t make sense to transition from an urban setting to Pandora.

I really hope we get a Lion King attraction at Disney World! I can't believe that The Lion King was once the biggest animated film of all time and it's the most successful Broadway musical of all time, and we've only ever gotten shows for it. Simba deserves his own attraction!

Well, whatever Disney do with Disneyland Paris is something special especially with the expansion of “Walt Disney Studios Park” soon to be renamed to “Disney Adventure World” especially with a Universal Studios Great Britain theme park might happen in the future. Plus if they do bring Space Mountain to its original “From the Earth to the Moon” and add the society of explorers I’m imagining they might add a new member of the society who was inspired by the original novel by Jules Vern himself and designed the Space Mountain. Of course that’s only my idea so who knows what will happen in Disneyland Paris until we find out.

I really hope we get some good stuff for Disneyland Paris 😭😭 I would especially love if they announced a space mountain re theme but maybe that’s too much to ask lol

universal went ballistic let’s see disney’s response to this

The BIGGEST thing I've been waiting for is an announcement of a update/revamp of the Journey Into Imagination With Figment attraction. I've been wanting Disney to redo that ride by turning it back to the ORIGINAL Journey Into Imagination ride. It'll be such a great move for Disney, and a dream come true for many people.

Gotta leave room for the surprise announcements that no one expects and aren’t rumored - like Pixar Pier and San Fransokyo at DCA.

Would like to see World Showcase add more countries. Also wish that the original rides for the Germany pavillion and the Japan pavillion finally get built.

Disney has a bad habit of announcing future projects and then either canceling them or underdelivering.

Walt Disney was smart enough to not tie any of the original lands of his first theme park, Disneyland, to any movie in particular. The rides were related to some movies, but not the lands. It’s a safer way not to became outdated fast.

I have very low expectations for this D23. While Disney has continued to retheme existing rides on the cheap sides and pushing blue sky cellar ideas that they still haven’t delivered (IE E Ticket Marvel ride) , Universal has built almost an entire new park in 3-4 years. I would love to be proven wrong where they announce something along with when they are breaking ground on and not just empty promises.

I think we are going to be disappointed again this year at D23. Disney will be talking about the same things they've talked about for years now - let's bring Moana, Encanto, Zootopia, etc.. I want them to say something big is coming without revealing it. Make it a surprise, keep people guessing. I want them to think outside the box and give Theme Park fans something they didn't expect! Let's get the WOW factor back!

I can’t believe DisneyWorld doesn’t have a ride based on The Jungle Book especially in Animal Kingdom.

I predict that whatever Josh announces, the Wdwmagic forums will hate it.

I even wish for these three movies I thought up: The House of Mouse Recaption, The Club Penguin Movie and Kim Possible: Mission Complete to be announced at D23. Same for Disney Storyline Studios to replace the defunct Disneytoon Studios.

My big wish is for some kind of expansion for Galaxy's Edge. It's the five year anniversary so it'd be nice to see something new coming. More legacy characters, Droids and creatures roaming the land. And what they're gonna do with the Starcruiser

Ir is rumored about Disneyland Paris getting an expansion for fantasyland 🎉🙈

@17:05 dust off the Body Wars equipment and give us a Big Hero 6 ride

Thanks for for uploading video, DSNY Newscast.

Honestly, I fear letting myself have expectations. I am happy Inside Out 2 was a hit don't get me wrong, but I still don't dare to hope. Not to mention that after Deadpool and Wolverine as far as Disney goes I only care for upcoming animated series, specially Dragon Strikers.

lemme tell you something....i'm not holding out hope that ANYTHING is gonna get built unless they show photos of an actual construction site at the presentation. i dont even find permit filing convincing.

Since they are doing a new Indiana Jones, sould be great if they use it also for Disneyland paris main park as it was planned back at the start. It would make sense production wise to make everything double.

I want to be surprised with something that no one has predicted or heard rumors about. All of this has been talked about for months or years now, pulling a hat trick would be the coolest thing they could hope to do, otherwise they’re just confirming what we’ve already heard.

Thanks, Jack! Following my first visit to EPCOT CENTER in March 1983, I wrote a letter to the president of WDW urging an attraction that would feature an audioanimatronic of Walt Disney. I hope it finally happens as you suggest.

Yes, bring People Mover back to Disneyland!

I really look forward to your D23 Predictions video every few years as it reminds me we're getting close. It feels like just yesterday that we were watching ur last one... but let's hope there's less BlueSky & more concrete announcements this time around. Thanks for all u do!

In three years, it's going to be the 100th birthday of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and the anniversary of the 1967 Walt Disney masterpiece, The Jungle Book. Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman who wrote its songs along with ones for Mary Poppins (1964), The Aristocats (1970) and Winnie the Pooh are gone.

Space Mountain in Paris going back to its OG theme, please. ❤

Stat Wars at DLP! YES PLEASE

Not only is this year the 30th anniversary of The Lion King (original 1994 animated film, one of the Disney Renaissance films, last of the trio of films to have computer animation within traditional animation and one of the films set in Africa) it even is the anniversary of these films: Million Dollar Arm, The Lion King 11/2, The Polar Express, Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas, Planes: Fire and Rescue, Noah and Mr. Peabody and Sherman.

I really hope they don't squeeze an Avatar land into where Hollywood Land is, it would be too tight and difficult to transition from Buena Vista St. and to Avengers Campus. Avatar is a land you need to come upon after wandering along some trails with dense foliage, then have a big reveal, impressive vista. It needs room. It's not a land to get to from walking along a city street with curbs.

Expectations are set to low low low. I think we get announcements about new trash cans, walkways, and picnic areas.

I agree about, INSIDE& OUT will be a great addition to EPOCT in the play Pavillion. Specially when DISNEY screwed up WORLD CELEBRATIONS And for HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS, DISNEY should bring back ALIEN ENCOUNTER based on the movie for the Animation building.

I would love to see concept arts of original rides to build with the idea of Society of Explorers and Adventurers, and something really big about Villains 🥰

3 am! No way I'll be awake for that. I guess it's more difficult for Jack to do predictions for the movie panel.

Mickey might become a photorealistic reality to celebrate his 100th birthday.

It would be great if they announced some new shows! Beauty and the Beast is in desperate need of a refresh and I'd love for them to replace the Frozen sing a long with the Frozen stage show they did in Disneyland!

Would love a openingsdate announced for Frozen in DLP!

Thanks for the update and all the information that could possibly happen at D23👍

Man, I hope Anaheim gets Zootopia atleast. The Shanghai one is Awesome

8:02 I really think Disney should consider re-themed Grand Fiesta Tour to Coco instead. Coco is really meant for Epcot’s Mexico pavilion over Magic Kingdom.

Jungle Book Boat ride just makes TOO much sense I guess. God, it would be so popular.

Figment could be the newest creation idea rival of the title stepbrother characters of Disney's Phineas and Ferb, according to Journey Into Imagination. I despise rivalry because it could lead to a grappling fight for correction and skill status. Advice given for that; Buzz and Woody fought under the Davis car, Ash Ketchum and Lucario fought in cold water, Donald Duck and Pluto always chased and chucked Chip and Dale and Tom always chased and battled Jerry.

Would love a new land or two in world showcase. Maybe even do something with the old Rheine river boat ride in Germany or add the Mary Poppins attraction.

Avatar needs to stay in Animal Kingdom. I can’t see it fitting anywhere else but that and full steam ahead on a Lion King land in DAK and Zootopia anywhere but EPCOT in WDW, is what I’d like to see. Also, Villains Land!

I wish for there to be special effects announced at that expo along with more character animatronics, a full-size Casey Junior hauling the parade floats, more holiday decorations of every sort planned for the parks, and new lands for each category of the parks one of them is inside of already.

I’m hoping for a 3rd gate to be put in the Toy Story lot. Whether it’s a villains park or a reimagined Westcot. I feel like it will need to have more adult themed attractions to take marketshare from rival parks.

Something I'm not seeing people talk about is Disneyland's 70th Anniversary in 2025. It's probably the big obvious thing for Disneyland to be discussed at D23. We'll probably be getting a new nighttime spectacular fireworks show (a new version of Disneyland Forever, perhaps?), details on a new parade (or a returning favorite?), new experiences and attractions that will be coming during the celebration for all the parks. If there was a time for big Disneyland plans to be announced, it would be at this D23 Expo right before the 70th Celebrations kick off.

my prediction is a lot of people will expect a tomorrowland update and then be very disappointed

Disneyland deserves a third or even a fourth park. Only because it’ll fluctuate the crowds and there will be more to see and experience. I think the push on Avatar & MCU is definitely NOT Disney enough. Make it magical again I say.

Disney calls their new projects "blue sky", but given their ever-increasing unrealized promises, they should call it "pie in the sky"

For some “low hanging fruit”, how about an opening date for Frozen in Disney’s Adventure World?

These are my favorite videos on your channel!!

I watched Inside Out 2. It's even greater than the first film, the world's second e-motion picture and it simulates growth of a human. Surprised to find it beat all the other films and also surpassed Ozzie and Drix, The Human Body and several other show episodes set inside the body.

I know this probably won't happen, but I'd love a new Soarin' Over California film with the original music rerecorded.

The fact that at this point they don't seem to have Beyond Big Thunder completely moving is shocking to me. They do know Universal is opening an entire park in 2025 right? RIGHT??

Disney desperately needs a response to Universal's Hagrid Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. It would be awesome if they built an Endor Speederbike Chase coaster at Disneyland Paris. 😊

Looks like the Disney Destiny is a repeating reprise of Mickey's House of Villains and Disney's Villains' Revenge, only combined to recover a sacred coin. What if it had the Villain Kids and Hero Kids from the Descendants trilogy as well?

I want an expansion for DHS that’s actually behind the former animation building that can connect to the Sunset Boulevard section and put the DHS park in a full loop!

The logo of Disney Cruise Line ought to go on the stack trio of the upcoming ship, the Disney Adventure. And a Disney Cruise Line flag ought to suit all the ships.

Great ideas about Wonders of Life pavilion. Overall, if Disney doesn't go hard and give specifics this D23... whew man, they'll get dusted by the fans. Disneyland has to put Avatar in the parking lot from Disneyland Forward.

People mover returning to tomorrowland would be incredibly. And hopefully fingers cross, returning of the carousel of progress.

I hope you're right about more Disney Cruises on the West Coast because as someone in Seattle, I would LOVE to see some Disney cruise ships coming through.

What I find funny is that everyone is pointing out "no DisneySea". Whet they are completely missing is no Epcot. And then most of the posts are people writing down their wishlist for Epcot. The two parks that just finished major expansions aren't shown in the artwork. Maybe don't expect announcements for them...??? Just sayin'... People also need to stop talking about a third park in Anaheim. That "DisneylandForward" area is 91 acres, which includes all the hotels and half of Downtown Disney. THEY AREN'T TEARING THEM DOWN. The northern lot is 22 acres. The southern lot is 27. That means each lot could hold about one Cars Land and one Galaxy's Edge. That is not "a third gate!!!!!!!!!!!". You KNOW some of that land will be devoted to hotels and shopping. I expect Downtown Disney to start expanding north, towards the parking garages. Why have people walk on a path with no shopping??? To the west of this they can build a hotel and a new parking garage for hotel guests. In the south lot, they've got room for two or three hotels - you KNOW that DVC Villas are more important to the company than building new lands. This leaves two small lots, certainly not big enough for a Galaxy's Edge or Cars Land, so everyone can also shut up about Fantasy Springs. More like two ride buildings. Not that it matters because they have no reason to expand this direction when there's room in both parks. DCA won't completely fill the Timon parking lot, and they still have to fix Paradise Gardens. And if they move the backstage buildings behind the Incredicoaster, they've got room for at least two rides back there. Disneyland actually has way more room, with big plans for eventually dumping the Autopia and Subs - and getting the Monorail out of the park. That's 7 acres of land being hogged by two rides. There's also room to expand Galaxy's Edge with at least two attractions, and they've been threatening to tear down the Wonderbra Theater for well over a decade. There's even been rumors of filling the plot just west of Big Thunder. And, if they got really ambitious, they could move a bunch of the backstage stuff over to the west side. Then they could expand Disneyland northward, where they could easily connect Toontown to Galaxy's Edge, which would not only get rid of a dead end, but it would keep the Critter Country dead end from getting even longer. As for the Avengers ride, I wouldn't hold my breath. It'll happen, as It's supposed to go into Hong Kong as well - not a rumor, it was announced in 2016, and its budget hasn't been spent yet. BUT that park just opened Arendelle so they are in no rush to open a new ride. My "out there" prediction is Avatar opening first, like 2027. Then Avengers in 2030. Then Phase 2 of Avatar, because OF COURSE it will be built in phases. James Cameron has said he's willing to make a Way of Water film for Flight of Passage, which could be 2033/2034, which takes us to the end of Iger's "decade". Even then, Hong Kong probably won't wait until 2030 - that's 7 years after Arendelle - so they could get Avengers first, which would allow Disney to gauge guest reaction before opening it stateside. Which I think is going to run into a major snag. They are going to get called out for using what is basically the Spider-Man ride system and IT'LL FEATURE SPIDER-MAN! The internet is going to have a field day with that. And you know it's not going to be as good as Spider-Man. I'm already calling it Thanosformers. Disney could very well go back to the drawing board and move Avatar Phase 2 to be the 2030 attraction. One thing that will be different will be ensuring there are no Rise of the Resistance issues. They've gotten a lot of crap from people going to the parks and not being able to ride the big new ride, so they will focus on throughput, as Jack points out. Which is why most of these rumors involve people eaters - the Shanghai Pirates ride system, Omnimovers, the Spider-Man ride system. I would not be surprised to hear the Flight of Passage ride system getting an extra theater for Coco and Way of Water. Honestly, the fact that a boat ride was mentioned for Encanto was because the ones with larger boats, like It's a Small World and all the other Pirates, can really cram people in. BUT I have a feeling this idea is less altruistic than it seems. I think they want high throughput because all new rides will come with Lightning Lane, and the higher the throughput, the more Lightning Lane passes they will sell. This might even set a dangerous precedent. They retheme Dinosaur to Indy and slap Lightning Lane on it. They not only spent way less than they would building a brand new ride, but they're now making money off it! This is Iger's dream come true: Reimagined Matterhorn! Reimagined Space Mountain! Reimagined Big Thunder! Reimagined Spaceship Earth! Reimagined Test Track... oh, wait, it's already happening...

For a place that was always famous for making great use of every available space in a small footprint, there sure seems to be a lot of unused space in Tomorrowland and even the Avengers campus. It's nice to hear they are making use of that wasted backlot space over at California Adventure too.

Imagine the Walt Disney animatronic hosts the Disney parks panel

Happy 90th birthday, Donald Duck! Who's got the sweetest disposition? One guess, guess who... Who never, never starts an argument? Who never shows a bit of temperament? Who's never wrong, but always right? What? Who'd never dream of starting a fight? That so. Who gets stuck with all the bad luck? No one, but Donald Duck.

Also opening date for Frozen in Paris

Thanks Jack, great summary. It’s going to be a very late one for you on the 10th, but I’m already looking forward to your post presentation summary video!

I think if we get Imagination and/or Dreamfinder, the rest of it will be gravy for me! But make no mistake, I am excited about the gravy too, lol.

There will also be character flags sold and displayed everywhere. Same for more holiday cards with them stylized for all the holidays on them.

"Great Moment with Mr. Disney" 😂

Any plans for Disney in Latin America? This year will be the first D23 in the region

So what’s the over/under on how many things are blue sky ideas with a few actual, this is happening announcements?

Is the Coco ride going into any themed land, or are they just going to plop down rides without cohesive theming like a roadside carnival?

LET'S ALL HOPE THEY ACTUALLY START ANNOUNCING THIGNS FOR REAL THIS TIME!

As someone who lives in California, I don’t want a new ship here, I just want Disney Fantasy or Disney Dream. Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream are my favorite Disney ships. I’d love to see Disney Fantasy or Disney Dream do 7 night mexican riviera cruises out of Los Angeles. Disney Wonder can keep doing Alaska cruises during the summer
