Any Bets on What Comes After Galaxy's Edge?

I’d expect to see the focus turn to the Mermaid theatre first.

A new show or a teardown? Or something else?
My non-insider guess is... not much. Some projects, like the ones which have been mentioned by Martin for a while, but nothing ground breaking (which means no net-new, only rip-and-replace).

That makes sense. They’ll want Launch Bay to ride the wave of Star Wars through 2020, I’d imagine, but Mermaid could close pretty much anytime and no one would bat an eye.

Strip mine Space Ranger Spin and put something relevant into a TL space now that Toy Story has its own land dedicated to it. No reason to have the same IP in multiple parks.
Star Tours turns into the vaunted Indy ride (budget cuts, lol) instead of getting a new boat ride. Once the new movie does well, then the boat ride goes into development in DHS and they pull out the stunt show (which should've disappeared 10 years ago) and a mini Indy land gets built.
Retheme RnRc with anything else than what's there now. I could definitely see an Incredibles overlay going in there.
Then onto adventureland for some sort of upgrade.

As much as I enjoy Buzz SRS, the space could be put to much better use and the IP has an entire land over at DHS (along with another shooter ride there as well). Buzz is just repetitive imo.
Obviously Stitch needs to be handled first, though.

I would certainly expect a retheme of Star Tours. And hopefully they do something with Animation Courtyaŕd, considering I can't see Launch Bay staying either after SWGE opens. And replace the aging Mermaid, BatB, and/or Indy with newer shows and attractions.

I doubt we're going to see anything on the level of Galaxy's Edge or even TSL in the near future, especially at DHS. Even true additions I feel are probably off the table for the foreseeable future, unless they feel the need for more crowd control. I think the priorities at DHS are going to fall into two categories: updates and crowd control. While Star Tours and Launch Bay are going to be a little redundant, I think they will keep them for at least a year after SW:GE opens in order to keep the masses entertained when SW:GE hits capacity. Which would leave Mermaid, BatB, and Indy, and potentially RnRC. And even then, I think it's going to be a slow endeavor so that as many attractions are open at once.

Post merger, I wouldn't be surprised to see Disney negotiate back the rights to all Marvel IP. Then get ready for a new land for all Marvel properties.

Fantasyland already exists.

I'd be very surprised, in fact.

I think with the coming Tron Coaster and (hopefully please!) Stitch replacement, that we will see a new Tomorrowland like they did with Fantasyland. There may be enough of a shift in walking paths, etc, that some new overall theming is warranted.

A Tomorrowland revamp is expected by 2021

Why would they take a family friendly movie franchise like the Incredibles, and put it into an attraction that most kids can't go on? I definitely don't see that happening at all.

They did it with California Screamin' which has a loop and a pretty restrictive height requirement. Didn't seem to stop them in DCA.
