I’ll throw my predictions into the ring for the domestic parks announcements:

Magic Kingdom: Stitch replacement announced, Cars and Villains details announced. Maaaaaybe a new E-ticket replacing the Speedway as a wildcard announcement?

Animal Kingdom: Lion King flume ride announced, new details on South America

Epcot: Mary Poppins ride gets dusted off. Journey Into Imagination redo as a wildcard announcement.

DHS: Monsters Inc details.

Disneyland: Mini Frozen land replacing Autopia. Maybe a new ride going into Galaxy’s Edge as a wildcard. I don’t see the TL redo getting announced.

DCA: No new announcements. Just details confirming Avatar and further details of Coco and Avengers.

My notion is unless more rumors come out otherwise, D23 2026 will simply be updates of the 2024 slate. D23 2028 will be where the second half of the 10 year parks plan will be unveiled. Supposedly Josh said somewhere the second half of the parks plan will be far more grand then the first

It does seem like Epcot is probably next in line for an announcement of something new.

I do kind of have a feeling this might finally be the year for Imagination.

Just curious to know where you heard this from? Haven’t heard about any 10 year plan.

Maybe my predictions are a little ambitious, but I think they will have more to their sleeve in WDW to compete against Epic. Thats especially considering the changing of the guard that we now have with someone at the helm being very-much a parks person.
