Disney Moves to Beef Up Its Theme Parks
The D23 Expo 2019 kicks off today in California, giving hardcore Disney (NYSE: DIS) fans a full weekend slate of announcements and unveilings across its widening media empire. Disney has been making waves for all the wrong reasons this week -- Spider-Man's departure from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and a former accountant's claim that revenue recognition at its theme parks division was inflated through at least fiscal 2017 -- and it can use the opportunity to dictate the narrative for a change.
The big day for theme park news will be Sunday, but Disney offered up some juicy nuggets on Thursday ahead of that segment's presentation. We now have names for the Star Wars-themed hotel currently going vertical at Disney World and for the Marvel-inspired areas being worked on at Disneyland Paris and Disney California Adventure. We also now have more artwork and models of upcoming changes and attractions at Disney World, including a Moana-based water feature that will be the focal point of the massive multiyear makeover of its meandering Epcot park.
