I agree that filling in dead spaces is a good thing and needed, but I'd personally rather see big expansion plans set in motion rn. Those take longer, let's get those going asap! Once announced and underway, filling in the dead spaces could be smaller projects to have stuff to announce/open between the larger expansion openings. I mean, ideally...

I wish they focused on filling dead spaces (stitch, wonders of life…) > expansion pads

Posted these on another thread but I found larger photos of some of the animatronics on WDWMagic so you can get a better look.

Yeah, like the meme “why not both”? Expansion and fill dead spaces, we want it all.

Well this seems more concrete than "here are some things we're maybe thinking about doing".

So Iger should have been questioned about Caitlyn Clark?

Honestly, if he's got ideas for how UConn can slow her down, I'd be happy to hear them.

Would 100% be down for this if they include central + South American animal exhibits. A new animal trail would be awesome.

Bring on the capybaras!!

Should have is not the same as could have. But I guess if she was personally responsible for $1.8B of revenue in one year and had a hit tour that melted the ticket market with an exclusive video release on D+, sure.

But she did drive the highest-watched Women's NCAA basketball game ever - and it was on ESPN. That is a direct impact to Disney's bottom line.

I think the reason to call it "Tropical Americas" is to cover both central and South America in one land. Since it's basically one big tropical region from Brazil to southern Mexico. I, too, hope for new animal trails that cover the region.

I think they could also do a cool area for birds specifically. South America in particular has some of the most diverse range of bird species on the planet.

I also saw toucans in the wild while I was in Belize so I'm like, yes I would love to see more of them in AK.

Yes to capybaras though!!

The 3d models clearly show Casita!

I would have expected that the week of the 15th, not today.

I guess the week after Easter is a popular holiday week too. Never knew, because my son's Spring Break is usually the 2nd or 3rd week of March.

Its Spring Break for a lot of NJ...not sure what made today so special though...maybe folks leaving tomorrow?

Edited to mention I will be there in 9 days and going to MK in 10 days...it SHOULD die down by then I hope? The race is the following weekend but hoping for a dead next weekend.

This is the big Spring Break week around the South. Most of Georgia is on break and many of my colleagues in other Southern states are also on Spring Break this week.
