Ahsoka is going to be part of star tours

Asha from wish is coming to Epcot

They are sticking to 2024 for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

They answered the questions about the Hat Box ghost, like does the Hat box ghost round the mansion to 1000, but the hat box ghost is part of the 999. He’s not with the other ghosts after madam leotta because he is not a happy haunt and she is calling the happy ones. He will appear in late November. Our guess he will materialize when there are the most annual pass blockouts so anytime between November 17 and 25th.

Country bears are getting a redo as a Nashville musical review and are getting new songs.

Pirates is getting a new tavern, does this mean alcohol in MK outside of sit down restaurant? Not sure I like that. I wonder if it’s going where tortuga is? The bird that used to be outside pirates is going to be the host of it.

Epcot will be finished in December! Moana will open October 16. Moana will also meet and greet in there? The new nighttime spectacular Luminous the Symphony of Us will debut December 5. From the brief description and artwork it looks like harmonious without the barges.

Test Track is getting reimagined. Their sponsorship must be up for renewal. I am glad they are fixing it, it’s a skip for me in EPCOT. It’s fine, but not a must do and it breaks all the time.

MK beyond big thunder is happening, but it’s not fully finished on what they are going to do. They said it will be bigger than galaxies edge.

AK tree of life is getting zootopia tree of life show ,replacing bugs life

This is still blue sky, but it seemed more thought out, detailed, and put together so I do think this will happen. At least the tropical Americas part. Dinoland is getting rethemed to tropical americas around the equator. There will be casita It’s not fully Encanto themed. Encanto will be mixed in the region. Dinosaur will be turned into Indiana Jones which is what Dinosaur is in Disneyland, so that’s a “quick” retheme.

Figment meet and greet started on the 10th.

EPCOT Soarin’ over California returns for the 100th celebration on September 22. Hope this stays until after the dirt pit is finished so they can redo the last scene of EPCOT in soarin’ around the world.
