These are essentially analyst guesses right? How do they measure park-hopping?

Yes these are estimates as really no theme park groups actually release attendance numbers for the public. If I remember correctly (I could be wrong) park hopping is counted towards the first gate you enter.

If Disneyland is #2 on this list, I’m surprised Disney California Adventure didn’t make the top 10. Maybe once all of the construction is over.

DCA was #13 on the list - with a 3.0% increase to 9,574,000 ... a number of parks passed it this year vs last including Shanghai Disneyland, Chimelong Ocean, and Disneyland Paris

Well from what @rteetz said above, that could be park-hopping. DCA on many days opens an hour or so later than DL, so it's possible some percentage of guests utilize the proximity to rope drop twice. My family did this a few weeks back. With Max Pass you can hit DL, book an FP for Cars even though the park isn't open yet, then rope drop Guardians.

I posted this in the dedicated thread, but to me the big takeaway is that in total the 4 main WDW parks increased by 4% to 55,872,000 - so looks like Pandora did help increase total visitors, not just shift the same number away from the other parks
Also of note is that AK had more visitors than EPCOT in 2017 ... so I gotta thing Disney is pretty happy with the results form Pandora

Yep agreed.
As Phil noted I do have a thread to further discuss all theme park attendance numbers as it is interesting to look at. Shanghai was very successful well.

So far that hand grenade was a dud.
And, I agree 100% with PB's> Earl. Thank goodness that Earl exists though cause we usually find ourselves wanting a "different" quick serve option around day 4 of each trip and Earl is fits that parameter really well.
Edit- and I have to admit, we liked the Polite Pig when we tried it last fall!

Definitely a bummer - but if it is true the $ from this is going to the new monorails or something else cool I guess it is for the best
Obviously, like anything with Disney, it could come back on the table at a later date, permit change just means it is done for now as they removed the area the theater would have been from the permit (had combined Tron work with theater work in 1 permit, not just includes the Tron area)

I'm a weak-sauce troll.
Hand grenade is still active. Sure somebody will disagree with you shortly. They are out there....somewhere....

Well, farewell to my favorite announcement from the D23 Expo! I guess my new favorite announcement is the building of an extra 3rd DCL ship.

Did those ladies actually have to shave their heads to get that part? Wow!
The new permits also show that Tomorrowland Speedway is going to have to close right as most of the track is in the permit area? Gives them time to update the attraction hopefully
