Well hopefully the exterior ends up being an improvement.
They should have nuked it and made it a Star Wars/Marvel park. It would have been the yin to DL's yang. It would have done a great job balancing attendance.
But alas that ship has sailed. Forever.

And suffering from identity crisis.
It's truly disappointing. The legacies and philosophies of WED Enterprises is being diminished by the Disney of today.
Disney parks feel connected because of great designers like John Hench, Dorothea Holt Redmond and George McGinnis.
Unfortunately with current WDI being management focused, we're losing cohesiveness, a sense of place, time and purpose.

And all these new park overhauls in Disney World and parks around the world aren't helping like they are saying it is. Epcot will still have an identity crisis, Hollywood Studios will be a park about immersing you into the world of films but still have soundstages, WDSP will be a 1/3 studio park, 1/3 immersing you in movies, 1/3 recreation. HKDL will still be a cheap, low-attraction park.
They keep saying these overhauls are improving the parks, but adding highly immersive lands or retheming a few attractions and leaving the rest of the park the way it is isn't improving the parks, just going a step behind with story and theme.

No disagreement there from me, but in Disney's defense the parks are not operating in the same environment they were when those brilliant people were tasked with designing rides at Disneyland. Critiquing bad aesthetics (Pizza Planet signage) is one thing, but trying to contextualize Disneyland's broader relevance in 21st Century pop culture is something completely different and requires a much more nuanced analysis than what one typically sees on an online Disneyland fan board.

As long as Pooh, Monsters, Journey and Sindbad are open, it’s a good time to go. Everything else is negotiable!

Disneyland didn't need Pirates of the Caribbean but we got it and it was wonderful. Galaxy's Edge fits in perfectly and provides the needed capacity.

Oh now that I really hate, they destroyed the one thing that they got right in DCA 1.0.
That shop looks ugly. Yes it looks clean but stale, just another shop with no character and charm.

Does it?
You don't think the addional people coming to the parks will more than make up for any added capacity that its two rides will provide?

If they let number of people allowed in the park alone instead of increasing it then yes.
Totally agree. Additional guests entering the park now will far exceed the capacity of those 2 new rides. It will make the crowding issue worse instead of better.
That's really only an issue on that handful of days the park reaches max capacity. Now they will just have more days hitting or getting close to capacity.

They won't. And parks will reach what is now considered capacity more frequently.
Besides. I'm sure that additional land will add capacity to the max number allowed each day.
If they maintain the current crowd numbers and just spread them out, the project would likely be seen as an epic fail.

The only thing worth saving at DCA is Cars Land. What a joke that park has become (well, maybe not as bad as opening day but still)

I'd rather Disneyland focus first on its Tomorrowland refurb and Fantasyland expansion than adding a land themed to Star Wars. The park has other areas that need TLC.
Disneyland is already one of the most attended theme parks in the world while DCA is lacking behind. Building Galaxy's Edge at DCA would've cleared up the already insufferable attendance at DL while simultaneously establishing their second gate as a worldwide attraction. Now DL is going to reach capacity levels we've only had nightmares of. I love the idea of GE and I'm all for it, I just wish they would've showed more love towards DCA (which in turn would've allowed Disney to show more love to the areas of DL that truly NEEDED it.)

Disneyland hasn't had a new e-ticket in over twenty years. They need the capacity of GE in order to close down Tomorrowland and rebuild. The infrastructure can't take modern guests. That expansion and DCA expansions make it easier to shut down areas that need attention for years. Things have to change in order to meet demand.
