Latin American myths and stories could be an interesting arc if that's what they're going with, although it'd be a little bit out of left field since it's not a classic (like Neverland/Oz), highly requested (like Camelot/Greek mythology), or popular (like Frozen). Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I'm afraid we'll end up with a Princess and the Frog arc--the shadow beast attacking Henry could easily be one of Facilier's friends from the other side and a lot of people are speculating that Lucy's mother is Tiana. That would be a little weird, too; it's kind of been occasionally and is in that weird middle ground between classic Disney and brand new popular Disney where no one really talks about it. But Adam and Eddy have at least expressed personal interest in it, which makes it more likely than Latin America.

Of course, Season 7 doesn't have to have a story-based theme; Season 4B and 6 were held together by their focus on the show's mythology: authors and saviors, specifically. Season 7 could focus on something like that. Perhaps information on "products of true love"? That's basically the only group that hasn't been covered yet.

Then there's always the chance that it could be like Season 1 or 2, where there wasn't any particular "theme"; the story was carried by the characters. I'm sure that's what most fans would like to see, but after three years of the contrary (at least one of which was promised to be more like Season 1/2), I wouldn't hold my breath. You make some good points overall. Regarding Princess and the Frog, I do think we will get it (so Tiana, Naveen, Facilier, and possibly Odie and Charlotte) in Season 7, but I don't think Tiana will be Lucy's mother, for three reasons. 1. They seem to be sticking more or less with the canon Disney pairings, and I don't see them randomly putting Tiana with Henry and not Naveen. Even if Henry gets turned into a frog or something, so esentially filling the role of Naveen, there would still be backlash, as Tiana is canonlly paired with Naveen, and replacing Naveen with Henry would esentally be whitewashing his character. Not a great message from a show that already has a POC representation issue, especially considering a major point of that movie was "we didn't have an African-American princess, but now we do". 2. Lucy (or the actress at least) is latina. Using a latina actress to portray the child of a white man and a black woman is kind of offensive. Like "we couldn't find a black/white mixed race girl, but, eh, latina is close enough". 3. Like you said, Princess and the Frog is in that weird grey area of being "classic Disney" but also being "new Disney". We saw that Frozen and Brave definitly had restrictions on them as to what could and couldn't be done. Does Princess and the Frog also have these? The movie is less than 10 years old, after all. It may be that Adam and Eddy will only be allowed to do Tiana if she is paired with Naveen. Actually, it is possible that those stipulations were put on other characters as well, even older ones. Ariel was still paired with Eric, and Aladdin with Jasmine, for example. Overall, I think there are too many issues with pairing Tiana with Henry, that just make it not worth it. Besides, they said we are still getting new mains, for all we know Tiana, Naveen, and Facilier are the new mains. I'm very interested to see where all this goes though, and the first step to figuring this out is seeing who they cast as Lucy's mom.
