During the D23 Fan Expo last weekend, Disney confirmed plans for a new Villains Land and Cars expansion in Magic Kingdom plus rides for Coco, Indiana Jones, Encanto, Monsters Inc., Lion King, and Spider-Man.

While this seems like a new season of 'Theme Park Wars' - how much of it was planned? In other words, is Disney using Universal to avoid investing in more immediate park updates?
