Disney World and Disneyland have announced tons of new things for their parks. I've put the link of all the news here.

Well, in my opinion, all of these additions look just fantastic. I'm interested in seeing how all of these work out. I'm especially wondering how Spider-Man will turn out in comparison to Unviersal's near perfect version. Many exciting additions! Share your opinions below.

The Epcot overhead artwork looks like its missing the big Innovations buildings ; and GotG looks very like Universe of Energy (which is a big building isn't it so plenty of room in that for a re-do).

I watched the presentation last night (thank you periscope guy) - they also announced a 'Art of Marvel' hotel for Paris (wasn't sure whether that was new new or a refit tho : EDIT - yes its a reskin of the Hotel New York). The Star Wars hotel at WDW intrigues me a bit it has to be said! :)

They didn't say it during the presentation but it is on the one link above, but the Great Move Ride at DHS is where the MickeyMouse ride is going to be, so its closing on Aug13 this year for that - ahhh. (saw someone on twitter comment that this was the last original ride from when MGM-Studios opened left!)

Whilst all the additions look nice it really feels like an overload of IP's to me.

I was actually most excited by the announcement of the new space themed restaurant at Epcot. No IP, just a really cool, creative idea and the concept art looks great.

There are a few classics I'm sad are going (Great Movie Ride nooooo) and I do not approve of the shopping mall look for Tomorrowland (similar to Shanghai's which is grotty I hate it), but, other than that yassssss I'm so ready for all this stuff.

Gagging to find out what Guardians is, with that and Ratatouille it should actually be fab.
 
I'm glad the GMR is being spited! It's pretty dull and only really interesting the first time you ride it! I'm pretty happy with the announcements!
 
The additions at Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom all look great to me. I think TRON will fit well, and Hollywood Studios needs all the help it can get. That really leaves Epcot, which is a mixed bag. I love the new look of Epcot's Future World, looks fantastic. Epcot may finally look futuristic. I'll mainly miss the area between Future World and World Showcase which is beautiful. However, it is more than worth it update the very dated area. I'm actually fine with the Guardians of the Galaxy in Future World. Sure, it's not preferable, but it's obvious that IPs are the direction this park is going. I'm sure they'll put everything they have into the ride, and it'll be great. Mission: Space getting a new film is also very exciting; it's a ride that has such potential (I mean space is endless!). The restaurant also looks fab. I'm more afraid for World Showcase. I'm excited for Ratatouille, but I really hope this IP-ing the countries doesn't spread. World Showcase is one of my favorite areas at any Disney Park; I really hope they don't all turn into an IP-land. If anything, I just want the IPs to fit well, like Ratatouille. That film is a love letter to Paris and France, but I could easily see them just shoehorning in any movie they want to any country, as long as it has a slight theme of that country.

I've always wanted Ratatouille to come to EPCOT, but I don't like that it's made DLP even less desirable. Taking the new flagship unique attraction and putting it with the huge amazing iconic Disney resort across the pond that also has Universal/Harry Potter/soon Nintendo isn't going to be amazing for Paris. I hope in the future DLP gets attractions that can't be found in WDW so to make Europeans want to do both. Also does Paris' stuff even get announced in the D23 expo? They didn't get anything last year either...

I understand your point here, something I never considered. I doubt it will really effect any Americans going, but I do wonder if Europeans will want to go to Disney World instead or just skip DL Paris all together. I imagine if I was making a Disney trip for my family, Disney World would look far more attractive. I do hope the best for DL Paris especially after the rave reviews this refurb has gotten.

In terms of proper "rides" they've reduced it further from 5 to 4. FOUR RIDES. FOUR. And how much is a park ticket? Unless I postpone my trip there's almost no point of me going to this park.

This didn't even really register until right now. I did 3 of their soon to be 4 rides between 9 and 9:45 on my last trip, and this was a packed day. 75% of the park in 45 minutes with no FPs. That's insane. I think they should charge $50-$70 for a ticket since they're operating half a park. It's a bit insane how little there is there right now. Probably won't visit DW until 2019 again.
 
Most of these seem cool, I'm just sad I'll never have gotten to experience Great Movie Ride. I'll be walking into a construction zone when I go next year though.

It's a different type of holiday, but I know loads of people who have been to WDW and have never done DLP.

Please show me where at Disney Springs you can get free international soda?

It's not free (it's $8) but it's on top level of the store. You didn't actually think it was free at Epcot did you? It's included with your admission whether you choose to use it or not.

Its free for me, I don't pay to get into Epcot.
 
Minutes ago at D23 Expo Japan, we shared a first look at Epcot’s highly-anticipated “Guardians of the Galaxy”-themed attraction – and yes, it’s a roller coaster!

With the “Guardians of the Galaxy”-inspired coaster, we’re going big. This one-of-a-kind family attraction will be one of the world’s longest enclosed roller coasters when it’s added to Future World at Epcot. It’ll feature a unique story currently being created by Walt Disney Imagineering and include a new innovative ride system that’s guaranteed to “wow” guests.

The “Guardians of the Galaxy”-inspired coaster is part of our ongoing work to transform Epcot into a place that’s more family, more relevant, more timeless and more Disney. “As we build upon its core mission of optimism and hope to inspire the world, the real will become fantastic and the fantastic will become real—in whole new ways at Epcot,” Bob Chapek, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks & Resorts, said.

The attraction will open in time for the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort in 2021. Keep checking the Disney Parks Blog for future updates.

based off a quick RCDB search https://rcdb.com/r.htm?ca=114&order=-22&ot=2 - the longest indoor coaster would be Temple of the Night Hawk (I knew as such, it feels lonnggg) but what I didn't realize was Space Mountain at Disneyland comes in second... just 400 feet shorter and yet, doesn't feel that long? In fact, just being in the 3,000 foot rage puts it in the top 10 longest enclosed coasters! and NINE of those ten, are Disney owned coasters, 3 of them being already in Florida... Soon to be 4, counting Tron haha.
