Disney’s latest D23 Parks and Experiences presentation was packed with musical performances, celebrity appearances, concept art, and attraction names—but very few firm details or opening dates.
That raises two questions: Can fans trust Disney’s D23 announcements, and has the event become so big that Disney can no longer meet the expectations surrounding it?
We examine Disney’s checkered history of announced projects, the ambiguity surrounding the Yeti and Dreamfinder, what Villains Land actually revealed, and the rare moments when Disney showed enough to make its upcoming attractions feel real.
Was this a disappointing presentation, or are Disney fans expecting too much from D23?
