Wait so nothing about Tiana?!? Or did I miss it?

Nothing. Though I would just keep in perspective that announcements are not the purpose of this meeting anyway

Whoa, Iger just confirmed that Avatar at DL is indeed a land and the concept art he glimpsed shows it's not a clone of WDW's Pandora. Looked to me to be more focused on Way of Water?

Here's the concept art:

I see a boat with people in it, so looks like they're thinking more of a ride than a walk-through attraction

Totally, but I had my hopes up based on some rumors i guess!

 

[BrianL]

Anyone else think Avatar might take over the Subs?

I had thought about that. Honestly, it would be better than Finidng Nemo, but they would need to really do something with a wow-factor for the underwater scenes. no doubt they could though. Otherwise it fits will with Way of Water and Tomorrowland.

Asking Iger about Taylor Swift is obviously more important than their flagship resort!

Missed opportunity to make a "Bad Blood" reference in regards to the board seat battle tbh

Avatar at DLR would be part of the Disneyland Forward project, if approved.

Big sigh of relief everyone. Redwood Creek + Grizzly River Run are safe.

We have that car. We get a lot of comments and looks about the sound it makes lol

yeah, I pulled up to our restaurant/bar the other day and all the people waiting said I had a funny noise coming out of the car.

 

[Tigger's ally]

I get it, but it's a topic of the moment. (I was originally a lot snarkier, and I apologize for that.)

So Iger should have been questioned about Caitlyn Clark?

Should have is not the same as could have. But I guess if she was personally responsible for $1.8B of revenue in one year and had a hit tour that melted the ticket market with an exclusive video release on D+, sure.

I’m also getting before long re-theme of thunder mountain and possibly the whole of Frontierland vibes…..

I wish they focused on filling dead spaces (stitch, wonders of life…) > expansion pads

I think BTM is too popular to be changed drastically - maybe some massaging to fit in with a slightly different vibe. I mean, with the Country Bears getting a full revamp, and yet remaining the Country Bears, I don't think they are going to completely move away from it. I do think it may be less "Old West" and maybe just like a "Wide Open Spaces" kind of thing.

That…would tick me off.

I wouldn't be opposed to it.

I wonder if the expansion will also enable a drone show to be a permanent fixture at MK….

I agree, I don't think BTMRR is going anywhere anytime soon.
