I’m excited about the 20th but do wish they would share some progress about construction going on in the park


We still have no idea what that Pixar experience is and how they will fill out the marvel area

Plus once those two are built the park only has one more expansion pad
True, I don't think they will be announcing the Pixar experience area anytime soon, maybe end of 2025? They've also discussed how the new marvel area will have shops, retail and more entertainment complexes. Like user LameBoi said, there has been discussions in using more land to expand the park since they said that expanding could lead to more visitors.

Both Michael and the secretary for the HK Tourism Board implied that there is still more land available for expansion in the phase 1 park. I could be reading between the lines but the way they said it suggested there are still parcels of land remaining that could be used to support multiple expansions.
The only land I can think of is the area east of big grizzly unless they plan to move core cast areas like north of arendelle but then it becomes a matter of where to move them to

True. The only obvious plot is the one that the Pavilion sits on/next to. Restructuring backstage takes some effort but it can be done. HK’s backstage is not densely packed compared to Disneyland’s and Tokyo’s. Tokyo is currently demolishing some backstage behind Adventureland. With Tahitian Terrace being remodeled to Moana supposedly, it clears the room for River View to be transformed into something.

Has it been said if Momentous will keep it's Theme Song??
Nope! I doubt it's leaving though, it's such a wonderful song. They also haven't announced whether this is an entirely new show or just a short addition to Momentous. The creative directors mentioned that this new show "Momentous: Party in the Night Sky!" will be roughly 30 minutes and will include a short story between Mickey and other Disney friends.

Would be nice if the 20th Segment would be after Momentous, like a Tag.

Also The Pyro is staying, correct? I didn't see any in the latest concept art....

Nope, I don't think the 20th Segment is after Momentous. There was a post 2 weeks ago on a teaser kind of thing for the projections and drones and the new segment starts from 00:00:34:00 (34 seconds).

Regarding your question on the pyro, I believe the pyro would be staying.

Hope there is more pyro.

Just watched a video of the HK Secretary of Leisure, Sports and Tourism explaining and updating on future expansion plans to Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. Apparently, to clear up confusion, she mentioned that Spiderman will NOT be the only attraction to be coming to Stark Expo, but there will be additional attraction facilities ("like World of Frozen"), restaurants and stores. Does this mean that with the opening of this new section, Stark Expo and Tomorrowland will be finally separated?

They are already officially separated in park promo it’s just they can’t put out up anything like land separating barriers because the current gift shop and ant man face the Tomorrowland central plaza

If they provide an entry to the current gift shop that faces the new plaza (which is doubtful because of the train line) they might be able to “sequester” it but I doubt it because they already consider them two seperate lands

It will be interesting what they put there that’s not just the TOT

I really hope they demolish the Tomorrowland stage soon, it's kind of pointless except for stage shows. If they actually demolish this, they could do a whole new entrance to the Stark Expo area instead of just that little space on the left of the Iron Man Experience entrance.

I can’t imagine they won’t, it would be a guest flow nightmare to make the new courtyard a dead end with the only entrance being turning left at the entrance of Ironman

The only other possible entrance would be to go round the back of space mountain to come out near storybook theatre but as seen from the train the back of space mountain isn’t very guest presentable and they’d have to deal with the train maintenance tracks to get at that wedge anyway

They should just move the train barn entirely to open up that plot of land. Disneyland moved it’s train barn from it’s original location where Galaxy’s Edge is now to it’s current location behind Small World.

They might actually be planning that. If what they said is to be believed then more than just TOT is coming to that plot. TOT is smaller than quinjet but that plot isn’t that large. If they want TOT a shop/QSFB and maybe another playhouse in the woods style attraction they are likely going to need the second wedge on the other side of the maintenance track. This is probably the best time to use it if they ever decide to use it because that plot is too small and messy to be its own expansion

Disneyland's train and monorail barn has always been next to small world
The backstage buildings that SWGE displaced were not related to the train
