Gonna go the Wondy route too...
Snow White: PE Oct 2001, OOP. Likely re-released after all 14 platinums are released, and will restart the cycle in 2010.
Pinocchio: PE likely. I'm thinking this will be part of the 2008 PE line, maybe with Fantasia (Pinoke in March, Fantasia in October?)
Fantasia: PE likely. Maybe it will port over features from the Fantasia Legacy disc, along with a couple newer ones so it's not necessarily a double-dip for those who already have the Fantasia Anthology.
Dumbo: 2-Disc is definitely likely. I can see it accompany a Platinum release in March or October of next year.
Bambi: PE March 2005. Likely to follow Aladdin in the new cycle.
Saludos Amigos/The Three Caballeros: Both share the same themes, and with Disney starting to package two-movie collections, we could possibly see this in the future. Though I'm guessing it'd only be the GC transfers on one disc, as opposed to "real" bonus material.
Make Mine Music/Melody Time: See above.
Fun and Fancy Free/Ichabod and Mr. Toad: See above.
Cinderella: Tuesday!!!
Alice in Wonderland: A solid 2-Disc already, but there's still more material they could add, so I'm thinking that one day they may re-release this with more material.
Peter Pan: Since its addition to the PE line, I'm thinking this might be in the March 2009 slot.
Lady and the Tramp: PE in March, w00t!
Sleeping Beauty: like Alice in Wonderland, a solid 2-disc set. But with its addition to the PE line (and I'm guessing October 2009 for its release), they may simply port over the entire set and add a couple more featurettes or kiddie games to give it the Platinum label.
101 Dalmatians: PE October 07, according to UD.
The Sword in the Stone: Should definitely get a 2-disc edition, though I'm not sure where in a release timeframe they could include it. Since the other two 1960s DACs will be released in 2007, I'm guessing they may re-release a new 2-disc edition of SITS as well, though I wouldn't hold my breath on it.
The Jungle Book: PE March 07, according to UD.
The Aristocats: Not likely for 2-disc edition.
Robin Hood: Not likely for 2-disc edition, which makes me
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: I would venture to guess Disney will release a new 2-disc 30th Anniversary edition in 2007. Disney loves adding the word Anniversary to their titles now (Mary Poppins, Pocahontas, Touchstone releases).
The Rescuers/The Rescuers Down Under: Basically screams 2-disc, with one disc devoted to both movies, and another to bonus features.
The Fox and the Hound: Can't see a 2-disc in the future, though it would be interesting to see what kind of features it might have.
The Black Caudron: A 2-disc rerelease is definitely not likely at all, if anything, they may just re-release it with an anamorphic transfer and a couple scant bonus features.
The Great Mouse Detective: see Fox and the Hound
Oliver and Company: The SE is fine for now, even though the making-of featurette is more of an EPK than an actual making-of featurette. I doubt a 2-disc is in the future.
The Little Mermaid: PE in October 2006.
Beauty and the Beast: PE in October 2002, OOP. Likely to follow SW in the new cycle.
Aladdin: PE in October 2004. Is it OOP yet? Likely to follow TLK in the new cycle.
The Lion King: PE in October r2003, OOP. Likely to follow BATB in the new cycle.
Pocahontas: Already has a solid 2-disc edition, though I wouldn't be surprised if in 2015 we get Pocahontas 20th Anniversary Edition with another all-new song
Hunchback: Definitely likely for a 2-disc, most likely accompanying the March or October PE next year.
Hercules: Likely for 2-disc Anniversary edition in 2007.
Mulan: Solid 2-disc edition already in print.
Tarzan: Solid 2-disc edition is now OOP and Disney is being assholes and releasing the one-disc edition again.
Fantasia 2000: Likely to get a 2-disc edition in October 2008 to coincide with the Fantasia PE. Possibly porting over what's left from the Fantasia Legacy, along with a couple more features.
The Emperor's New Groove: See Tarzan.
Atlantis: Solid 2-disc still in print. In need of a price drop from $34.99.
Lilo and Stitch: When the hell will we see the US release of the 2-disc???
Treasure Planet: Silenty OOP, so a 2-disc is likely, guessing in 2008 or 2009.
Brother Bear: Solid 2-disc still in print.
Home on the Range: Fairly recent 1-disc, I wouldn't hold out for a 2-disc until 2015 or so.
Bedknobs and Broomsticks: Would be kickass to see a 2-disc set, one disc with the theatrical version, the other with the restored version (minus Step in the Right Direction). I realized that we couldn't have two versions on one disc with branching options, because audio would be a problem in some parts and quite simply, if each version had its own disc, with bonus features about each on their respective disc, it would give the viewer a choice into which movie he wants to see and which bonus features without changing discs. Does that make sense? it'll essentially be two single-disc SE's in a two-disc set.
Pete's Dragon: Ditto B&B.
The Nightmare Before Christmas: If anything, an anamorphic transfer merits a new edition, though the single-disc is pretty solid and doesn't really scream "I want another disc!"
