WOW! I love seeing the plans!
SO, Security will be on the EAST side of the hotels, impressive! They don't show any other checkpoints on the plans, but that would mean that the entire walkway and esplande is a secured area... I have a feeling Disney is doing a bit of a jab at the hotels and restaurants on Harbor... the hotels may survive... but the restaurants will REALLY suffer if this set up is truly how it will be and there's no access to Harbor.
One place that will thrive though both due to exposure and pedestrian traffic is Gardenwalk... it will finally be successful due to its proximity to Disneylands Eastern entrance now. House of Blues' move makes total sense now.
DCA gets a sizable chunk of land due to the east esplanade being moved. Certainly enough space for a land if it end up being a 'true' backlot or Marvel land etc...
I'm pretty sure the monorail move is accurate from the image shown... the turn into Buena Vista Street will be tight, but it does that tigh above Autopia... so it can be done.
I have a feeling Monters Inc. and other backlot buildings are quite numbered in their days... whatever is planned for the backlot expansion I have a feeling will move quickly...
Wow!
