D23 Expo 2015

Considering that is about 4 years away in not to concerned...I imagine more well be dropped in the former DHS before then to keep us busy

When I went to school 4 years would be around 2019 ... 6 years for a Star Wars Land to be fully finished at DHS is kinda bad.

This is a terrific announcement! Now, please lets not take 5 years to construct. This is a smart and bold move for Imagineering and I'm looking forward to seeing it! Would love some of the parks panel to surprise us with anything about Epcot. Although that's highly unlikely.

Here is more specifically what I see based on the rumors that have been around these boards for years. This make the LMA area for the Cars ride and give Pixar more area with that. This is just over 14 acres mapped out here.View attachment 106035

Is this just for size comparison? I can't imagine they won't use the LMA and backlot area for this.

I thot I read aboot a coaster ride for DHS, any more on that?

Theme Park Insider hinted something on Twitter. We might get more at P&R

Well, Epcot is getting 350 million, isnt it?

Yeah, good news, but the construction progress of Pandora still keeps me from being over the moon. I mean, 6 years is beyond mind blowing.

The thing is though I don't think there's been any big rumors about something in the works for Epcot, so that's why it seems unlikely.

But, as shown, anything can happen!

Still hoping they announce an expansion to Pixar Place. Since so many cookie-cutter like rides have already been created for other parks around the world, they could add a handful of these to DHS reasonably fast to keep the masses happy while taking their time to work on SW Land.

The rumors here by the people in the know was Echo Lake, Current area and Streets of America for Starwars and Pixar getting LMA and backlot tour area. You would have to ask them, I just go off what I read.

I hope they leave muppets alone. The last thing DHS needs is a decline in attractions despite its age.

Here's hoping!

I'd be surprised to see anything for Epcot being announced since I doubt much will change in that park between Frozen and WDW's 50th.

I think the goal at this point is to blow Potter out of the water. I don't think all of HP in both parks even comes close to 14 acres.

How big is Harry Potter in Islands of Adventure compared to Star Wars Land in Hollywood?

 

[LieutLaww]

I am sure they will announce the Pixar stuff in the P&R and the rest of the SW Land stuff as well

OR... Pixar expansion going in that area. a boy can dream, can't he?

 

[ctrlaltdel]

I am sure they will announce the Pixar stuff in the P&R and the rest of the SW Land stuff as well

Hopefully Marvel too

 

[parker4fm]

So stick a fork in Toontown.
Sorry, Phillip...

Lee: do you think Disneyland will get a full Tomorrowland revamp due to this? I'm imagining Star Tours will either be relocated to new land or replaced by something Marvel? It's hard to think they wouldn't clean that area up as part of this...

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Hopefully Marvel too

Stop

 

[LieutLaww]

Marvel may get its Disneyland announcement it may not, with a 14 acre Star Wars land going in not sure where anything Marvel is going to go as well.
