Cars Attractions to Replace Rivers of America

This past weekend, Disney unveiled a bunch of blockbuster announcements at the annual D23 event in Anaheim.  It was easy to come out of that event with an air of positivity, as these projects will generally push the parks forward.  My next post was actually intended to be a follow up on the Villains Land announcement, a victory lap of sorts for a project that was almost universally lauded.

One of the things about events like D23, however, is that they give you all of the good news but rarely any of the bad.  In the case of Villains Land, we already know that it is going to be "beyond Big Thunder" at Magic Kingdom, in an area that wasn't utilized as park space.  Some of the other new attractions didn't mention where specifically they were going.  There's still a possibility that the Monsters Inc. Land at Hollywood Studios, for example, will lead to a closer of the beloved Muppetvision 3D. 

D23 Announcements - Blue Sky Becomes Reality

The annual D23 convention is taking place in Anaheim this weekend.  Disney always has a ton of stuff to announce, and plenty of celebrities to trot out to help with these announcements.  There were already a ton of things announced for the entertainment division the other day, but for the purposes of this blog, the real focus is on the Parks and Experiences division, which had its major showcase last night

Even more specifically, this blog focuses on Walt Disney World.  There were a bunch of exciting announcements for Disneyland (with their 70th anniversary coming up next year) as well as the international parks and the cruise line.  But we're only going to look at the things that impact Disney World, and there were a bunch of bombshells this year.
