D23, 2974... Disney has announced a new park on Alpha Centari themed around Space Mountain and have finished up their Marvel land on the Moon. Still waiting on the Disneyland PeopleMover announcement...
Also announced: test track 12.0
2976 IS THE ONE EVERYONE, I KNOW IT
Did you really do the math, Offhand? I applaud you.
they'd have to rename it to disney universe
The fact that d23 didn't land on 2023 is truly a travesty
Would've made the 100th anniversary of the company a little more special.
*2022
I know right!
It would’ve if Covid didn’t happen and they canceled 2021 d23 expo
COVIIIIIIIIIID
I hope that Joe Rohde got a lot, A LOT of money from Disney for "returning" to Disney
He's not coming back full time remember he's just teaching some classes to the younger imagineers.
He's essentially working as a free lance consultant. I'm sure Disney offered him a lot for it.
I believe they will have a very good D23 this year , but it will never meet everybody’s expectations. All I want is for them to actually announce things they are building/going to build , I don’t want anymore blue sky ideas !
Can we just appreciate this man for sec, I don’t know if this is just right now, but this man has been posting faster than usual and giving us quality videos so shout outs to you man, great work, most underrated TH-camr. Also, can’t wait for the people mover to be announced in August 👍👍👍
THIS! ^^^
I appreciate YOU
This is the part where I get sad about the fact that I'm not going but I'm kinda happy I'm not going
Disney has probably spent more money on making concept art than actually building anything at this point
Honestly, a refurbishment to Magic Kingdom’s Haunted Mansion to relocate the Hatbox Ghost to the attic would be enough.
Was just on it this week. It’s bad enough he’s there, but to get rid of the candelabra too is sacrilege
Agreed! The candelabra will be returned (it takes a long time to properly tarnish a candelabra, and a lotta elbow grease as well, I might add. I should know, I've tarnished more than my share!)
But the Hatbox Ghost, most assuredly doesn't belong in the hallway! For a couple'a plethora or three of reasons! Whereas it's 'presence' at the far end of the attic, as the icing on the cake, so to speak, is THE appropriate use of such an iconic and masterful "wienie"!
There was an immense dropping of the "good show" ball in this here sitiation!
Cue: Bones rattling and deep mournful moans...
There’s apparently some mix of expenses and regulations that make it hard to do.
👀
Disney would need to announce a full refurbish of Tomorrowland. The return of the people mover, the relocating of the rocket ride away from the entrance of the land, an escalator entrance to space mountain, removal of all instances of Toy Story IP (which makes zero sense in tomorrow land) and generally a realignment with Tomorrowland’s original purpose and vision.
I'm not cutting my hair until they do something about Disneyland's Tomorrowland. This mess is on their conscience.
I agree with everything except removing the Toy Story IP. I STILL NEED TO GET GALACTIC HERO!!!
@@OffhandDisney If you think about it, tomorrow land has been through a lot of changes. Not layout wise, but so many rides came and went in there. It would make me really happy if they did more stuff with innovations/imagineering in tomorrowland like they did in the 90s. I feel like its such a big part of Disney and their history. Esp with the passing of the torch going on rn.
-Details on the World of Motion Test Track redo
-Renovation on Journey into Your Imagination ... where y can FIND DREAMs
-What is going to happen with Dinoland
-Avengers E-ticket ride construction start date
- Disney Forward finds a way to fit in Tron
- What replaces Animation Courtyard
I have a secret soft spot for Dinoland. I always did like the wacky coaster and the dark ride. The dark ride actually reminded me of Disney's ver of ET ride.
Kingdom Hearts 4 and whatever Figment project they were teasing is gonna be the bare minimum for me this year
+1 for KH4 I can't wait
joes return and Ben’s appointment as head of imagineering are great steps in the right direction, as for when we can see these projects come to fruition I do expect it to take a few years then again stuff took Years even during Walt’s day and many projects changed from conception during his day to a lot of people forget that
Joe is essentially a substitute teacher. It's sad people making such a big fuss about because there's literally nothing else to grasp onto.
@@MrStGeorgeIllawarra A substitute teacher is still a teacher, regardless it is an amazing opportunity for younger imagineers to learn from one of the best, the knowledge they learn will go a long way for the longterm creative future of the parks
i went to disneyland once as like a 5-year-old kid and haven't actually been back as an adult. the biggest reason is money obviously but the second biggest is because my favorite ride was the peoplemovers! i cried in the tiki room, i cried on the jungle cruise, i cried when we even got close to it's a small world, but after we got off the peoplemovers i asked if we could go on it again AND WE DID AND I LOVED IT AND NOW IT'S GONE!
I fully understand!
Finally gonna be at D23 for the first time! So excited to be overwhelmed and underwhelmed simultaneously… As for the parks panel, just give us the Peoplemover announcement. Please. I realize we’ll probably get everything except that, but fixing what’s not working in the parks feels like it should take precedence over new things right now.
See ya there!
Cant wait for inevitable disappointment
I can already hear it now: “hey guys the avengers e ticket will start construction December 2045! That will be all, thank you and see you at the next d23!”
@@dayoldbread1696 “And no, Journey into Imagination is fine as is!”
@@sealy1 😂 probably, igers dumb decisions rarely surprise me anymore
@@dayoldbread1696 By 2045 Disney will no longer own Marvel thanks to antitrust and the parks will be frozen in the 20th century.
At 12:29 stick figure offhand Disney RETURNED!!!!!!!!!
The California people mover being announced would make it the best D23
Bar none.
This year’s D23 is going to be just as disappointing as previous years. Why? Because they don’t stick to what they say. It’s just a bunch of buzz words, hype, and empty promises that lead people along into thinking that Disney is pushing the envelope when all they’re doing is pushing your wallets. *Epic* *Universe* however, has the possibility to stick to Universal’s promises in creating the best theme park that we’ve ever seen. And it’s coming out NEXT YEAR! Right now, Disney fans just need to face that Disney is in a Dark Age right now and that includes the parks. The only way they’re going to do anything is if the fans stop going and stop giving them their money. And if there’s any diehard Disney fans reading this right now, I’m talking to you. Take a step back for two seconds to really look at what Disney is doing to manipulate you and your nostalgic childhood. Then look at the plans for Epic Universe. Be honest with yourself and genuinely look at which park cares more about their fans right now.
Well said! And yeah I find it hard to get excited for anything Disney has announced because a lot of the time they don’t even build it or severely budget cut it. Avengers campus was my first big let down especially when Disney was touting web slingers as some fancy advanced technology ride, but when I rode it I quickly found out it was just a cheap lamé version of Lego lands ninjago ride/midway mania without the cannons.
All you do is flail your arms at the screen or buy a wrist attachment to earn more points. And the Dr strange magic show was so bad it felt like it had a budget of $5 and a pack of peanuts. Then they put the avengers e ticket on hold, kept promising it wasn’t cancelled, then cancelled it. So much disappointment, and this isn’t even counting the other stuff Disney has promised us and either cancelled it or under delivered.
Some other notable disappointments are the constant cheap lazy re themes like Pixar pier and San fransokoyo, and last years d23 when we got nothing announced for us at Disneyland aside from “hey here’s how the avengers e ticket ride vehicle might look when and if we build it in 10 years!”
I'm hoping the new CEO in 2027 (If Bob Iger is telling the truth that he will leave then) will fix things
As long as they bring back the people mover. Epic universe is right around the corner in florida
Epic Universe? Pffffft. Disneyland PeopleMover?! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
I’ve almost come to peace with Tomorrowland at Disneyland, as long as they don’t mess with my submarines! But please Disney, please give the Imagination Pavillon the reimagining it deserves! It once was so magical and now it’s just dreadful!
bring back dreamfinder‼️
I feel like it will never be just a Peoplemover announcement, they will at some point do an entire new Tomorrowland update. If they have no problem shutting down HM and TBA at the same time, there should be no issue basically shutting down all of Tomorrowland and starting from the ground up.
I feel that the peoplemover will just never return to Disneyland. They'd have to tear down the old track and build from scratch.
i may be stupid but whats TBA, i know HM is hauntsd mansion

What a wonderful way to start a Saturday morning! Thanks Offhand Disney!
As much as I hate to say it - I think all of the news is directly because of what’s going on with the Proxy Fight - I truly hope they cook up more announcements for D23, but I’m not banking on it unfortunately. They may have ran the well dry in an effort to show how strong the company is, at the cost of announcements this August. :/
I got tickets too! So cool that your going to be there as well :) I'll be on the lookout!! I hope they have some good pannels this year, I really enjoyed the encanto stuff last time! The Disney voices one was really good too!
MOM WAKEUP, OFFHAND DISNEY UPLOADED🙌🏻‼️‼️💯
If they finally do something with the people mover, I have a feeling it's gonna be the only thing people will talk about
Is any of the stuff that Disney announces this year actually going to come to fruition?
Exactly! They can announce the most incredible plans ever this year but the odds of them *actually* doing it is practically none. I’m waiting to see if Universal is going to stick to what they’re saying about Epic Universe. That’s more exciting and promising than anything Disney is doing right now.
I hope they do. Disney world is gonna have to do a lot better if they're gonna wanna compete with epic universe.
@@kdusel1991 Disneyland and its Imagineers have created wonderful parks but Epic Universe, with its fully immersive lands, is definitely next generation.
No it won't. Disney is instead going to be broken up under antitrust so that means bye bye Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, etc.
Let's start a chant. "Bring back the People Mover"
Too long of a chant "People Mover" a 4 beat chant is easier to get started and keep going.
I’m going to be there for the first time alone, really nervous but excited
Past history tells us Disney waits until Universal large projects debut before investing billions into the park.
We should have low expectations from Disney for 2024 and expect blockbuster announcements next year
(I’m from the future whereDisneyland Forward got approved)
Things that NEED to be announced at D23:
-a title for the Avengers Multiverse attraction and the announcement of starting construction
-The Avatar land expansion based on The Way of Water
-new Eastern Gateway
-Things I highly doubt will be announced but will be cool to see:
-Planet of The Apes added to the park
Yes I really hope they announce all that stuff you mentioned for the avengers e ticket. We badly need it here at California adventure since the rest of avengers campus is pretty disappointing
All signs point to a couple really chunky announcements, so I'm hoping against hope that we get something especially for Imagination
Yeah imagination needs a change. We've had the same ride for 20+ years and it's not good anymore. Maybe theme it too inside out or something with bing bong.
@@kdusel1991 No. It should be rethemed to the original with Dreamfinder, not shameless IP dumping
I love your new hairstyle! It suits you so well :)
Did we just see the return of animated stick figure Dallin?
I really really hope D23 knocks it out of the park for this year. I definitely believe we'll get updates for the Avengers Multiverse Attraction, Test Track 3.0, maybe improvements for Galaxy's Edge (mostly in FL), hopefully having a Guardians meet and greet outside of Cosmic Rewind, Spaceship Earth revamp and maybe some Tomorrowland updates.
Also coming back to Epcot, I finally saw World Celebration earlier this month and I really enjoyed. The atmosphere felt very real especially at night. I think Disney did go on this and maybe when Communicore Hall opens it'll bring back some life into the main hub of the park.
Why would only FL Galaxy’s edge get improvements they’re the same exact land on both coasts
@@himynameiscorey they could turn the old hotel into a new ride or maybe a sit down restaurant. Maybe finally bring Ahsoka and Boba Fett and Fennick into the park.
GE at Disneyland has had Fennec Shand there a lot and Boba Fett from time to time. We've even encountered Ahsoka a couple of times. They are great! If WDW's GE hasn't had them, well, they certainly should!
They shouldn't be announcing meet and greets at D23. Too low level and reflects the cynicism that they embody now
@@michaelsullivan3581 They really shouldn't. Boba Fett is an evil bounty hunter that shouldn't be looked up to. If not evil then at least morally flawed. Putting him in the parks is arguably one of the chief reasons he wasn't able to do anything in his awful show
Would love to just see something more than blue sky. If you’re gonna announce something, it needs to be concrete. Also would love to see them announce fixing figment😂
I Wonder If DUFFY AND HIS FRIENDS Are Gonna Make Their Appearance At D23 This Year And I Wish DUFFY AND FRIENDS Could Get Their Own Show On Disney+ After When D23 Expo Announced It Like Couple Years Ago And I Wish I Want To Meet Them In-Person
the epcot background music makes my soul smole
I dunno, it makes perfect sense to me that announcements about the Orlando parks would take place at Drstination D23.
The Peoplemover song (nation on wheels)I was today years old when I first heard this song
Pretty sure your hair will be touching the floor before they announce anything for Tomorrowland
The Wizarding Whorl Of Professor Schmidz S.E.A.!
I introduced my friend who has been to the DW a dozen times to The People Mover last year and she loved it!
One more land at Epcot World Showcase!
I think one confirmed theme for DLForward, more info on Avengers E Ticket, and confirmed concept art and/or more details for Beyond Big Thunder would make it a success for me
The Peoplemover coming back to Disneyland is the hill Dallin will die on lol
Oh, I don't need to be told to look at the dragon, Mr. Off'and. I've been looking and I can never look away!
This year will be my first D23 Expo ever, I hope I’ll see you there, you are one of my favorite theme park content creators
I don't want anyone to forget about the instagram post of figment walking into the imagineering building.
For the insane prices and the crazy ticket sales... they better have some good shit
I get the optimism, but I’m wondering if all the announcements in the last few weeks are to blunt the impact of Epic Universe’s slate of announcements. Hoping they don’t empty the bucket now and save some for the summer.
I think it will be safe instead of insane, tbh :-)
I’m hoping that they have thought out how they are going to get everyone to the Honda Center, feed them, and figure out where they are going to store all their stuff. You know how it takes them a day to train everyone and figure things out. Maybe we will skip the first night. 🤷🏻♀️
I hope we hear more updates on the beyond big thunder mountain!! I really hope we get a villains land. There's so much potential! And it's nice to have new blood take over imagineering again. Maybe we'll finally journey into imagination get an update cause it really needs one.
All I know is they better not touch my boy Sonny eclipse.
Peoplemover, Tomorrowland refurb, and figment refurb. All I ask.
I kept thinking your light switch was a skip button and kept getting distracted by it
I want to hear them say they’re lowering ticket prices across the board and bringing back the Magical Express
I will lose my mind if they announce that Tron is coming to Disneyland
I'm hoping we get some decent announcements for Disneyland Paris, like the rumored Lion King land. Just a shame that it's the middle of the night for us in Europe, so either staying up late to watch the live stream or watching in the morning 😃
I’m hoping a Peoplemover return is announced soon. If it isn’t, I fear you’ll look like cousin ITT before there’s change in Tomorrowland. Thanks for the video!
I think there's an announcement hiding in plain sight. They may have already been working on this, but weren't confident enough to announce it with the retheme of DinoLand. An Emperor's New Groove attraction/portion of the park in the new land. Peruvian llama pen maybe?
i’m so excited cause this is my first year going
It's a great time to visit the parks because everyone is at the convention.
I have a feeling that one of the biggest announcements is going to be a new “Journey into Imagination “. That’s enough for me… I do wish they would do the people mover at Disneyland for sure or even bring it up
Is it going to be different because Disney actually has to DO something instead of just loosely promising blue sky figments of their imagination?
Dallin I feel like your hair is going to be bottom rib-length before any major Tomorrowland announcements are made, and I’m all here for it.
You might want to style it up in the meantime though… manbun is a low maintenance way to stall until you can do some cool stuff with shoulder+ length hair.
Personally I would want a confirmation and new concept art for new test track, and maybe possibly maybe a remake of Journey Into Imagination featuring the return of Dreamfinder???? (Please Disney I’m so desperate).
I was going to go for the first time this year, but then they announced the dates and I cannot. 😢 Perhaps in two years....
I'm hoping for any Disneyland Tomorrowland announcement (doubt it, but hey), and a South American Animal Kingdom update. Like real updates.
This is the first time I'm hearing about the drone show at Springs. When is that supposed to show up?
I’m hype for D23. Excited to meet new Lorcana players, seeing everything in the convention hall and all the panels, and the Honda center events. But I’m bummed at how much this event has exploded in popularity now.
I'm hopeful this year! If they dont make any announcements, worthy ones anyway, I'd be dismayed.
Hoping for peoplemover, will settle for any news on Disneyland Forward.
The Vote!!!
The problem is, even if they announce something tangible, they won't follow through. Examples: Epcot and Avengers Campus E ticket. Disney will budget cut it until it dies. That being said, I believe there will be one big announcement. The rest will be small and/or existing projects already in the works.
U said this last D23 expo
Or… are they dropping announcements ahead of the board votes to drive up share prices to keep shareholder’s happy with the Disney ballot.
I hope you’re right about the big announcements.
Destination D started at the Disneyland Hotel and has been at the Contemporary since 2014.
I've felt similarly about this year being a bit better than the previous showing. I'm not sure HOW much better it'll be (for some reason I have a feeling 2026 will be the big one for me) but I think we'll see some great announcements, especially with all of the personnel shifts at WDI.
I agree. I feel like you can't go up from rock bottom. This year will probably be better and 2026 will probably be legitimately great
They need to announce the removal of the reservation system at Disneyland.
They will bring D23 here to Brazil in September, around the same time there will also be the brazilian ExpoCannabis in São Paulo. I'm heading there in September to attend to both events and I'd love to return to my city with an annoucement of a Brazil related addition either to Epcot or the new Animal Kingdom south american area
Kids, don't do drugs.
@@mickeyconnor830 its a medical focused fair tho. Brazil has a great potential of becoming the world's largest cannabis productor if we legalize it, and that would be huge for our economy.
@@mickeyconnor830 its a medical focused fair tho. Brazil has a great potential of becoming the world's largest MJ productor if we legalize it, and that would be huge for our economy.
There has to be a journey into imagination announcement this year, right?
There has been so many teases it would be crazy if nothing is announced.
Here we go, everyone getting their hopes up just do be disappointed again.
At this point, I’m convinced that Dallin is the only reason that magic candle company still exists.
It's a good reason! And I actually enjoy their odiferous delights!
All I would want to be announced would be some ideas for updated theming around the new Tiana ride at Disney land and to see what new things they want to add in. Is also love to hear more in depth ideas for the area replacing Dino land
My shirt changed...😂😂😂
Stunning, wasn't it?!
It's criminal how bad their online ticketing for events is. I thankfully was able to get the 3 day pass on day 2 (but not with Honda Center 😭) but between the ticketing ordeal, knowing that folks that ARE going to HC will have to take bags back to hotel/cars first before getting on the shuttles (which I expect to be a sh*tshow) since they can't take 99% off bags into HC... I'm ok watching the live streams on my phone from the parks XD
I need a 3d park at Disneyland to make me feel like it was the Best I’ve ever seen
I feel Disney has to really step up with Epic Universe coming soon
I hadn't heard about the TestTrack revamp. That is good news for me. I was underwhelmed with the replacement for World of Motion. I felt like it was a neat concept for a ride that really didn't know what it wanted to be when it grew up... so it became a lame attempt at an E ticket. Never understood the long lines for that one, but that apparently is just me (based on the two hour wait times). Rode it three times total over several visits and now happily walk past the queue with no regret or remorse in my heart. (Gotta get to Norway so we can jump in the line for Maelstrom... wait, what?)
Man... I hope you get your People Mover back. I have similar remorse for Snow White and Mr Toad, so next time you ride those in Anaheim, send out a thought, nay, a prayer, for the sad Wolfking family in Florida... sigh.
I would love them to announce a retheme of Imagination. We are seeing a lot of Dream Finder in recent artwork. Is that foreshadowing of things to come? And didn't they release a clip of Figment walking into Imagineering? It all adds up. I remember the original ride and it was amazing!
Same! The ride we've had sucks! If they wanted to tie it to a specific IP (not that they should mind you!) they could retheme it to inside out and have Bing Bong host it along with figment and Dreamfinder!
@@kdusel1991 I know I already replied to another of these comments but of ALL the IP rethemes, Inside Out is honestly not a bad pick. The only worry I have is that the ride is supposed to be about how imagination can help the world, but Inside Out is more about how they affect US
D23 is happening on and around my birthday. One day I'll go to one ❤
Hi. Great website. First, think the possible reappearance of the Peoplemover might be a "practical" connection between new parking
areas and the expanded parks, as opposed to a Tomorrowland exclusive. I'm sure you've gone over Episode 1 of "We Call It Imagineering" with your usual care. The most exciting/provocative part was not the admittedly impressive AAs but the brief (and blurry) glimpse of the"white model" early in the tour. Not discussed much elsewhere, but it sure looks like a Beyond Big Thunder concept to me. Is that Malificent's Castle in the background? Lots of water features/bridges, potentially connected to Rivers of America. Lots to analyze.
This has to be an intentional "teaser." Please devote an episode to this. It's big. Hope it appears at D23, whatever fans think of
Radiator Springs as part of the expansion.
The people mover must come back, i really miss riding that as a kid, getting the overhead view of tomorrowland and riding through the adventures through innerspace then star tours, the magic eye theatre and Tron. I also miss america sings, as that was a dang good show to sit through, i wish they would do something like that again with the rotating building again, Especially since they are swapping out splash mountain, those animatronics would be available again.
I think attributing guardians and Tron to Barbara is not a good thing , they were both established before she took her position . She’s essentially only greenlit tianas at Disney world in the ~3 years she was president
At least guardians and Tron are good rides. It would've been worse it Cheapek had his hands all over them. That Mary Poppins ride/expansion that was gonna be for Epcot looked so bland and uninteresting.
@@kdusel1991 I love both of those rides , I’m saying giving her the credit for both of those rides is not a good thing. They were both announced and started construction before she even started working at Disney
Bring back people Mover would make it s tier
If we here about the people mover I'm going to cry of happiness
Maybe the early announcement has to do with the Proxy vote.
My hope is for a Tomorrowland revamp at Disneyland, they need it really badly
New park. Anywhere.
Either a whole new location or a concrete expansion in an already existing property.
Personally (only because its the nearest to me and it badly, badly needs it; ) i would like confirmation of a third park in Paris
18:20
I choked on my burger 😭
I hope that they bring back the Peoplemover and redo Journey Into Imagination the way it was.
I have a good feeling about it 😊. I wish I could go.
