Disney had a chance to buy several pieces of that land along Ball Road in the last few years, and passed. There were several vacant lots, and a large abandoned restaurant site that once had the famous Cattleman's Wharf complex on it, and Disney didn't buy any of them. Instead, hotel developers bought them up and have been building new corporate chain hotels on them in the last year and into next year.

My neighbor works in TDA and helps with some of the off-site support stuff. Disney already has a great amount of warehouse space in north Anaheim, about a mile or two north of the park, and some warehouses about one mile east of the park on the other side of the Santa Ana Freeway. Disneyland's costuming, decorating, warehousing, supply chain, and other support services all operate out of these large warehouse facilities across Anaheim. A fleet of trucks keeps the goods and services they provide flowing to/from Disneyland, DCA and the hotels. It's been like this for years, long before Star Wars came into the picture.

Many people don't realize that the northeast part of the city of Anaheim is a big warehouse and light industrial hub. It's very convenient to area freeways and major roads, and thus very convenient to Disneyland. And it's got much cheaper rents than anyone could get by trying to piece together random bits of motel properties immediately around the park. Disneyland doesn't need to worry about the land directly adjacent to it on Katella or Ball Road when they can just own or lease cheap warehouse space a couple miles away.

I don't know anything about the Red Gum address. I do know that a lot of the functions in your second graph is located in the Miller St. warehouse due North of Fry's Electronics on the 91 freeway.
