If Disney wanted to get a superhero area into the park, specifically Marvel, I think Grand Avenue made more sense as an option then animation courtyard. But obviously Disney didn't go that route and instead decided to take that whole area and convert it to Monstropolis. Which makes me think that...

If the rumor is true that Avatar might be going into the Simba lot instead of the bus area, then maybe that space be could be used for Tomorrowland instead. Both Tokyo's new Space Mountain and Epcot's Guardians use elaborate show buildings for their queues and the attraction itself is housed...

This is the mentality Disney needs to operate under. Adding Guardians to the parks was the right call and there are more properties they can adapt without breaking their contract. To me the obvious move is to use the Grand Ave area as a multi-purpose "New York" land. Keep the Muppets and build...

Epic Universe's is supposedly going to have each of their four lands available to book out for large private events. That's why they were built to be self-contained with separate entrances. Maybe that's the play here as well. The convention center is just across the street. Have these lands open...

Throwing out some armchair imagineering. If the plan is to build Avatar in The Hollywood backlot and bus loop area, then this new land will be very close to Tomorrowland. This could then give Disney an opportunity to connect the two lands, similar to the Hogwarts Express at Universal Florida...

I think Disney's already on the hook to build two new parks. A third park in Paris, their agreement with the French government is for three parks or forfeit the land for that park (if the park isn't built by a specific date) and a second in Shanghai (it was part of the master plan presented to...

Retheming Splash to Bunny Borrow from Zootopia is probably the best option they have for this area. - Keeps the vibe the same - They might be able to reuse existing props and animatronics - It's a newer IP - There's already a Zootopia land so they'll be able to save on R&D costs - It's not a...

The park is still California themed but its identity has shifted from an idealized historic California to a fantastical modern California. It's not to everyone's taste (especially with super fans), but there's still a premise that the park is attempting to follow. In a very broad sense...

Renaming a park is WAY more expensive and tedious than people might expect; I don't think Disney makes that decision unless they believe it will result in some sort of significant ROI.

This is a good point, best I can think of is having guests exit through the Christmas shop, they'd have to build a back entrance.

I don't think they need to demolish anything in the Muppets area. They might be able to get away with something like this.

I'd be a little weary of this list. It's a good estimate, but the sourcing is from various different years and there are various methodologies used to reach these numbers. Unfortunately we'll likely never have access to true internal numbers. Lilo & Stitch isn't on this list. But the property...

It's about the total amount of revenue a property can potentially generate. The Box Office Mojo list of franchises doesn't quite capture that. Lily & Stitch, for instance, doesn't show up on that list. But the characters sell tons of merchandise to this day, as of right now there are 184...

What I was attempting to convey in my previous comments was my hope that the replacement for the Hyperion is an attraction that could work visually and thematically for both the Marvel and Hollywood Blvd areas. Mainly because that building is visible from Hollywood Blvd. I understand that a...

I think you're right, visually though I hope that they put in some effort to blend the areas. So when you look down Hollywood Blvd you're not staring at something completely out of theme like the Guardians tower. And to Disney's credit this is something they try to do already, or at least...
