Rumor - WDW Rumor Tracker - Revenge of the Fifth (D23 2024 Prep Edition)

Not much changes outside of cleaning stuff up for MK and adding on the note for The Seas for Epcot along with the SSE lounge with other SSE stuff (mostly the fact it's shaping up to be coming next for EPCOT) Thats good. While I’d love for my beloved figgy to be next, id rather have an sse that...

As addressed by Henry Mystic over on WDWM--Disney is apparently looking into a brand new resort in Texas. It is not clear if it's a theme park project, or a DVC project.

I see the Texas rumor happening more then the Georgia one.

Universal stomped on over to TX and Disney wanted to follow and brawl some more. Makes perfect sense.
I’m hoping it features DVC accommodations and also normal guests. Get the best of both worlds to get all the cash.

Well this is interesting! The Universal vs Disney battle continues, now in Texas! I’d imagine if anything parks wise is happening it’s on significantly smaller scale. Curious where this rumor leads.

This is cool. Following two new resorts from Universal and Disney within the same state is gonna be wild.

They keep fighting, while us fans keep winning.

The million dollar question would be the scale of what Disney has planned. I see something either on par with Universal Kids Frisco or maybe something akin to the typical Disney park albeit maybe a tad smaller.

With Universal Kids & Peppa Pig already in place for childrens entertainment, a small scale park to that doesn't exactly make sense.

I wonder if they could do what they kind of considered in the past with other park projects, where you had Disney do concepts that wasn't a traditional "Disney" park, but that by/large, it was a Disney park in scale. Like a Disney's America.

As someone with family in Texas...I hope.

What about a Disney-quality themed resort with a water park and entertainment? Like a Great Wolf Lodge? They've been expanding like crazy recently and are great for short trips.

This makes the most sense to me, for shorter trips, more affordable than either DLR or WDW, more accessible to middle America, this makes sense to me. Easy money maker with less investment.

When asked a few months ago if Disney was looking to do something like Universal Kids, Iger said no. Of course they may have changed their minds, but I doubt it.

Maybe just a resort hotel/DVC thing like Aulani, but a dude ranch? Or something on the coast?

Ah yes another round of Texas rumors.

Can we build these parks in a place that's not homophobic as hell please? Like the Northeast and Pacific Northwest would be nice, the latter especially.

Haaaaaaave you been to Texas? It’s home to one of the most progressive cities in America. Every state is gonna have their differences.

Counterpoint, have you seen their government?

We’re on the same side but I’m merely pointing out it may not be best to paint with a broad brush. Either way, this obviously takes us down a path of politics so let’s move on. Thanks!

What would a Disney version of a GWL look like?

Obviously they can't do the log lodge theme (GWL). Kalahari has the African theme locked up in that market. So how about something we know Disney does well, Polynesian.

So, basically drop Aulani in, add an indoor waterpark, mini-golf, and a Moana themed dark ride where the ride system is the lazy river in the water park.

The nightly buffet is Luau-style with live entertainment.

Oh, and did I mention how Trader Sam's overlooks the tropical indoor waterpark, and below the deck is a swim-up bar in the waterpark?

I'd go there

+ attach a mini Disney-springs like shopping district with a few "best hits" from the parks like Space 220, Remy's Restaurant and Oga's Cantina.
