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...

If a Marvel attraction is going to replace the Hyperion, I hope that they at least attempt to blend the attraction into The Hollywood area. Not sure how they would pull that off exactly (maybe the Malibu hills with Tony Stark's mansion? A Downtown LA Chinatown area with a Shang-Chi adventure?).

The best version of this land would have interactive set pieces activated by magic bands similar to Harry Potter and Mario at Universal. That way the land becomes a sort of secondary attraction. A good example of this would be "Ride and Go Seek" at Tokyo Disney, it's a ride (obviously) and not a...

I'm not sure if Zootopia would be a good fit for a park with a Monsters Inc area. While the films themselves and the attractions the lands feature are vastly different, at the end of the day both are city-scape environments. It's the same sort of vibe in both areas. Disney Parks thrive when...

If Star Tours gets re-themed as part of this new land (which seems highly unlikely) they should change the name to of the ride to MonsTours 😁

The old Muppet balloon was removed because it was bright and colorful, that's a bigger visual concern than the Monster Inc big gray box.

There are monster-themed cars in the concept art. I'd be okay with a light retheme using those cars. But I think this will be a pretty budget-conscious project, so I'm not expecting it.

This is a great point, that I didn't consider

Could Bluey be coming to the Disney Junior soundstage at Animation Courtyard? I could see a scenario where this is the plan, they had the meet n greet on the convention floor. Decided not to announce it, because if fans found out that Bluey is coming to the courtyard, then fans would also...

It's interesting that there were no "we're building two" announcements. There were rumors about the Lion King ride going into both Paris's Adventure World and WDW's Animal Kingdom, but that wasn't announced. We know Disney isn't opposed to cloned attractions, Tiana's is opening this year. When...
