My predictions: Villains, Avatar, Avengers, Monsters Inc, Lion King. 📬 Get The Tip Board — free weekly Disney Intelligence in your inbox: https://guide2wdw.com/newsletter This year's D23 takes place August 14–16 — Disney's biggest fan event — but if you're watching Guide2WDW, the evening of August 15 is the one to watch. That's when Neil Patrick Harris hosts the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase, promising to dig deeper into the "ambitious projects" announced in 2024, plus a few surprises along the way. And the whole thing is themed to Carousel of Progress. So I'm digging into the current status of everything announced at the last D23: the Avengers Campus expansion and the Coco boat ride at California Adventure, whether Avatar is actually cancelled, the Believe and the Disney Cruise Line fleet expansion, the Lion King land at Disney Adventure World, Spider-Man at Hong Kong and Shanghai, Tropical Americas with Encanto and Indiana Jones, Monstropolis at Hollywood Studios, Piston Peak (aka Nissan Frontierland), Villains Land, and the completely reinvented Carousel of Progress. Then the wildcards: which classic rides are due for a total reinvention, what free-roaming robots we could be seeing next, and which resort is most likely to get that rare new park announcement. Plus the clue Disney hid in the Monstropolis Horn. But do you have any predictions for D23?
