Disney announces or teases a ton of attractions at D23

From IGN:
There were updates for Disney Parks all around the world, and some of the big highlights included plans for Dinoland U.S.A.'s reimagination into a new land with Encanto and Indiana Jones experiences and the opening date for the Moana-themed Journey of Water. However, there was so much more and this article has gathered all the biggest announcements you need to know.

There’s a lot of daylight between “little-to-no planning ahead” and a “prohibitive” amount of planning, and I don’t think “it’s a vacation” justifies the former in all cases. If you were going to New York City I would expect you to figure out the key sights you wanted to see, to get tickets to the shows you wanted to see, to check the hours and days things are open, and so on. If you were going to the beach, maybe not so much.
Granted, people may categorize amusement parks as more like a beach and less like New York City. But that seems faulty in the case of Disney World, which is not like any other amusement park, which should be obvious from the fact that you’re spending five figures to go there. (Or at least traveling hundreds or thousands of miles.)
As an amusement park enthusiast who has not been to WDW in about 30 years - if that’s not a contradiction in terms - my plan for a possibly upcoming visit is:
- identify the things I think are can’t miss (Star Wars isht, Everest, safaris, Runaway Railroad) and figure out how to do those
- assume I’ll get to do a bunch of the iconic stuff (jungle boats, haunted mansion, pirates, etc)
- hope for some of the in-betweens (Guardians, test track, Avatar stuf, Tron, etc)
There’s a, you know, slider that determines what’s a can’t miss and what’s not. But if you behave as if everything is in the can’t-miss bucket, you don’t really understand life, let alone Walt Disney World.
That last thing you said is exactly how I feel about the subject. It's judgmental, I know, but I still agree.

I like the planning for WDW to an extent.
But I’m the type that only goes there once every 5-6 years. I think If I lived in Orlando, it would be a lot easier to just pop in and take my time doing things without all the planning.
When I was there back in June, we planned, prioritized certain rides and used the heck out of the Fast Passes, and I paid the extra to guarantee ride time on Tron and GoTG rides.
Didn’t do many shows and fancy restaurants at all, my family prefers rides.
