    • Ongoing Star Wars Construction
    • Opening – Guardians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout!
    • Night Time Entertainment Questions – Main Street Electrical Parade returns.. will it stay around or will Paint the Night be back in Summer?   Remember Dreams Comes True returns this winter, what fireworks will be shown in the Spring and Summer?   Fantasmic 2.0.. what does this bring?   Will there be a new World of Color show?  Will live bands return to Tomorrowland Terrace?
  • Walt Disney World
    • What up charge/add on will be added next?
    • Animal Kingdom – Rivers of Light – Will it finally premiere for the public?   & Pandora the World of Avatar – What will the public’s reaction be?  And us disneygeeks?
    • Epcot – Seeing what goes away and changes as the park morphs more from my favorite park of the 80s and 90s into something different
    • Hollywood Studios – Construction as the park continues its expansion/rebuilding
    • Magic Kingdom – Hmm.. cannot think of anything going on here
    • Drones – Will they find their way into the parks this year?  Or another show at Disney Springs?
  • International Parks
    • Tokyo Disney Resort – is opening a new Nemo attraction and expansion construction will be kicking into high gear at both Disneyland and DisneySea parks
    • Disneyland Paris – 25th Anniversary festivities should dominate the news
    • Hong Kong Disneyland – Iron Man officially opens and the Explorers Lodge is scheduled to open.  Will the expansion plans that were announced be approved and started on?
    • Shanghai Disney Resort – How will the park wrap up its 1st year of operation and settle into a normal operating cycle
