@Lee can you give us anything? Even small to satiate our hunger?

My fear is the ever changing plans after even Disney announces things. They hid Star Wars references in the 2013 D23 expo, and two years later we may finally hear something. The revealed these big Fantasyland plans that then changed after that (though adding a ride was a good change from more meet and greets). Anyway, my fear is to hear about these really grand $1B-$2B plans and then watch as we slowly get the value imagined version if EPS isn't acceptable. Maybe this is the start of renewed faith and hope in Disney's commitement to their theme parks.

I agree, TDO or other areas always seems to come along and hack away at the budget or whaetver and then things are wittled down. I lost faith with frozen taking over Norway but thats a whole different topic I know.

So are they going with a metropolitan Coruscant look for SW Land...or crashed destroyer yard (like in Ep 7 trailer)? Mix of both?

I have not heard any budget numbers.

And frankly, there's no need to put it out there. To easily traced back and can risk people's jobs.

 

[Lee]

Confirmation of $2B is jaw dropping. I don't think many fully expected the California Adventure style makeover to be a reality (at least not in the same timeframe). Therefore, $2B for a complete park in 2019 is significant.

You are off a bit in both amount and year.

Those were the napkins on the table.

Good to see the 'Disney Parks' name gone from those.

I agree, this is just fun.

Agreed.

I'll say this, though...
Last September I heard a figure that they would be asking for. It was astronomical.

They pretty much got it.

 

[doctornick]

Less than $10 trillion.

Yet again, we see Disney skimping out on us.

 

[prfctlyximprct]

Is this real life???

Best lunch break ever.

 

[aladdin2007]

Agreed.

when you say "they" do you mean burbank or TDO? sorry sometimes I get confused between who demands what from the top.

I'm hoping more money, less time.

 

[dumboflyer]

Less than $10 trillion.

imagine something about 50-60% as good,

Confirmed $5,000,000,000,000.00 -- $6,000,000,000,000.00 budget.

We aim to please.

 

[dumboflyer]

Is this real life???

Is this just [new] fantasy[land]?

Maybe WDI would be the ones requesting it?

 

[punkabella]

Hopefully the figure = both quality and quantity.

 

[Mike S]

Agreed.

That's incredible. Does this mean it's much bigger than DCA?

 

[dizneycrazy09]

Is it 2020 yet?

true, not sure how its all ordered
