Between all of the exciting announcements about park pass reservation changes, dining plans returning, and the ways Genie+ could be changing soon, it’s clear that there’s a lot going on behind the scenes at Disney. The Walt Disney Company’s latest earnings call meeting confirmed quite a few things that we’ve been keeping an eye on!

The Walt Disney Company just had its earnings call meeting for quarter 2 of fiscal year 2023 and confirmed several timelines for projects happening at the parks & resorts, on streaming services, for theatrical releases, and more. Many of these timelines had already been confirmed, but now you can see them ALL in one easy-to-understand way.

First up, we have the upcoming theatrical releases!

While not quite getting the big silver screen treatment as the previously listed films, these sound like some great movies to keep an eye out for. Titles like Loki‘s season 2 and Only Murders in the Building‘s season 3 have drawn great numbers in audience views for their previous seasons and they’re looking to strike gold again for a second or third time around.

Titles like X-Men ’97 may be new but given their familiarity in previous films and television shows, we get a sense that the audience will feel connected enough to the characters to give this one a fair watch.

Let’s switch gears and talk about what’s upcoming for Disney parks and experiences! There’s a LOT coming to the various Disney parks around the world.

If you didn’t already see Disney Cruise Line is celebrating its 25th Silver Anniversary at Sea and they will continue that celebration through September of 2023.

Happy 25th, Disney Cruise Line!

For our Disneyland folks, we’ve got new experiences to look forward to like “Rogers: The Musical” Stage Show opening June 3oth, 2023 and San Fransokyo Square at Disney California Adventure Park confirmed now to open this summer! Other anticipated timelines aren’t as definitive, like the Adventureland Treehouse in Disneyland which will open in 2023, but no specific month or day is listed yet.

If you’re following the progress of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure construction well, it seems like we’re not quite “almost there”…yet!

The timeline confirms we’re still on track for a 2024 opening but Disney isn’t committing to an anticipated season just yet so we’ll have to keep waiting for more insight on this one.

While we knew most of these opening dates and timelines already, it’s great to see them all in one place. We’ll be watching for more updates on all the latest Disney news, so stay tuned to DFB!
