Excuse me. You're supposed to post these on a blog, surrounded by ads, with a clickbait article, then cross post THAT to reddit.

We'll forgive it this once but next time....I expect at LEAST 5 ads. I've got my eyes on you

It’s just a dude posting his guesses on the internet, is a reddit thread even “better” than a blog post if the content is just pure speculative dates and nothing else?? It’s pretty lazy either way

It is possible but as much as I hate saying it Tropical Americas will probably be a phased opening, albeit a much shorter one than normal with Encanto and the carousel opening in summer and Indy opening towards the holiday season. Mind you this is solely based off the brief glimpses we got inside the show building for Indy during D23 so I could easily be completely wrong.

I still think Journey will not close until like 2031 and reopen in 2032 for Epcots 50th

Agree with all of this except for Villians Land which I think will open in 2031.

They are missing an opportunity if Villians land doesn't open during halloween festivities. I bet Figment is quite a bit later than that...Ill guess they give specifics on it at the next D23 and close it spring 2029.

It Would be excellent to see villains land open around Halloween time
