Theme Parks First. Everything Else Next.
This article contains a series of predictions for the D23 Parks, Experiences and Products panel, focusing on U.S. Disney parks.

Walt Disney World will replace its traditional “Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party” with a new event, “Disney After Hours BOO BASH”.

I have many good memories of watching it, and was sad to see it go. When it was announced that Wishes would be retired, I had a very high standard for the show that would replace it. Does Happily Ever After meet this standard? Did we the fans get an upgrade or a downgrade? Here are my thoughts:
2018 is finally here, and almost every theme park has announced their plans for new additions coming this year. That means it’s already time to start speculating on what 2019 will bring us!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and that means it’s time for a Limitless Park Christmas Special!
