I literally got my submission in by the skin of my teeth this morning. I did a partner statue build (Walt holding hands with Mickey) with a Disney family taking pictures in front of it. I was really hoping we would have leaks of the castle by now, as I've been worried it might include a partner statue with it. Surely it has to be around the corner?

I really think there is opportunity to make the Disney Main Street stand out from the creator set. Especially if you include complementary details like cast members, dapper dans, trolley cart, and most of all WINDOW DISPLAYS! The ones in Disney are iconic, and would be incredible in LEGO. What makes Disney's Main Street unique is not that it is a true representation of turn-of-the-century town centers, but rather an idealized version unique to Walt's imagination.

Unpopular opinion, but I hope 43222 is not a Disneyland castle. For someone building out a MOC based on the previous two sets this creates a conundrum: 1. Higher piece count than the Disney World castle for what should be a smaller castle 2. The castle being better than the Disney World version (but you want to keep your display Disney World centric) Personally, I would much rather this set be something that can expand upon what they have already introduced, thus increasing the value of our previous investments. Personally for me, I would love a Main Street set similar to the Diagon Alley. They could even do one side Disneyland and the other side Disney World (making a logical connection between the Disney World castle and the Disneyland Train Station. Aside from that the set that would make everyone happy is the monorail. Fans of both parks would be thrilled, and non-Disney fans would be psyched to include in their LEGO City MOC's.

Of all the Disney related projects in the works, nothing to me is more intriguing than the Summer set 43222 D2C. Do we have any more news on what it might be? 1. Disneyland Castle - makes sense for the 100, but the last D2C park set was Disneyland themed (and Disney World has larger appeal). Also doesn't make sense that it would have a higher piece count than the Disney World castle. 2. Main Street set - makes a ton of sense for those who already own the castle and train. It could be like the diagon alley set. Doesn't make sense given so many existing buildings serve "kinda" the same purpose. 3. Monorail - Disney fans and non-Disney fans alike would go NUTS over this, but for whatever reason I just can't see it happening 4. Microscale park - There was a popular one on LEGO ideas previously, but it seems more likely they would do something in minifig scale to coincide with the CMF release (like they did the past two times) 5. Haunted Mansion - people went nuts over the IDEAS haunted mansion, but it sure seems similar to the haunted house set they already have 6. Space Mountain - having an attraction would complement the other two sets, but this one seems too boring to garner a lot of interest. Would they actually include some track on the inside? Doesn't seem likely. What are you hoping for? What do you think it will be? What have you heard?
