It's a disappointment, but I feel that Jurassic World will speed things along. The second and third Jurassic Park films are more like separate events that took off from the first film. In the original Jurassic Park, everything breaks out into chaos. In the second and third films, we're brought into the Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna environments, which carry on some of the chaos from the first film. Nearly fifteen years after the third film, Jurassic World takes a stance similar to the first film. In other words, from my perspective it has more of a reboot tone. We'll only see one returning character (from what has been guaranteed), Henry Wu, and his return makes sense because he moves along with the story via InGen. It's about what makes sense, not necessarily what the fans want. I think that in some cases, it's always good to give the audience something they want. But you have to pay attention to what makes sense as well.

Bringing back Dr. Grant, Sattler, or Malcolm would be cool, but like I said, they have to make something that makes sense. Their part of the story is done. Jurassic World takes place some time after the events of the first trilogy, and I think that they'll advance some things and move the story into a new spot. Even a cameo from them wouldn't really fit in. The story needs characters that fit in with the story. Henry Wu fits in because he is allied with InGen. John Hammond would actually fit in with a cameo in my opinion. Maybe archival footage or something. Maybe the character has died prior to the events of Jurassic World in 2015. But he would fit in the story because he was associated with building up Jurassic Park, which, over twenty years later, spawns Jurassic World. Will he cameo? I'd hope for it, because it would make sense. Relate things to whether they would make sense, because that's what they're aiming for. But I'll expect the unexpected, and I'll also expect things to come together well in the end. :)
