Overview
- Coverage ahead of D23 consists mainly of predictions from fan outlets that say the event could confirm new ride plans, construction timelines and park expansions but many items remain unconfirmed.
- Pandora — World of Avatar for Disney California Adventure is a previously confirmed project and Avengers Campus expansion has active construction, which reporters cite as firm groundwork for D23 updates.
- Fansites report that Disneyland is prototyping fully electric vehicles to replace Autopia’s gas engines with a target of early 2027, a plan described as developing and not yet officially confirmed by Disney.
- Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! has been announced to remain open into 2027, and some sources suggest Zootopia could be considered as an alternative to the planned Avatar area, but that swap is speculative.
- Writers predict major international moves including an announced second park for Shanghai and plans to remove Autopia in Paris for a Star Wars expansion, though those claims rely on limited sourcing and await D23 confirmation.
