5th gate? Just build a new resort Bob.
yeah it does seem like that shows a major expansion coming to galaxies edge. I think they will build a new area with an indoor GotG like coaster, but SW themed. I htink they will also build one in FL DHS where the muppets land is now. these are my predictions and I dont stand behind them.

Perfect time for Disney to announce something like this given how hard the area has been hit economically. Puts pressure on all of the governmental stakeholders.

Ah, okay. You're talking about the types of kids in their mom's basement who pre-Covid thought Disney has secretly bought 5,000 acres for a new resort in Texas (and their cousin knows the realtor who worked on the plan!), and post-Covid now think they're going to pack up Anaheim's Pirates of the Caribbean and the Matterhorn and rebuild them on that property in Texas.
Those types of kids have been on the Internet for decades talking about Texas. And when their school is closed and they can ignore their Zoom lessons, they have nothing else to do but post that kind of stuff again and again.
As for the business woes caused by Sacramento, I don't think anyone thought they'd last forever. And it's surprising how quickly things turn around once the Recall got enough signatures to trigger an election this fall. Oops!

Good point. Never let a crisis go to waste.

That's really the right takeaway here. Long-term zoning changes are the goal here, and there's no time like the present to push them through, considering what the pandemic has done to Anaheim's budget.
This is a local matter, not state. Mayor Harry Sidhu already put out a favorable statement about it, which is not surprising given the financial support Disney lent to his campaign.
The promise of future development by Disney is an easy "yes" vote right now because of Anaheim's current deficit, even if that development will come years from now. But that assumes Disney doesn't overplay its hand and start demanding subsidies and tax credits, or pushing too many proposals that would hurt nearby businesses for Disney's benefit. Councilmembers have a greater independent streak now, and demanding any sort of taxpayer support from a city that's borrowing $200 million to cover pandemic deficits would be controversial.

It is Re-Zoning/New Specific Plan, ignore the Shiny stuff!

Disney's ultimate goal here is to get the old 1993 Disneyland Resort Specific Plan updated to allow them to put whatever type of zoning they want anywhere on the property without being forced to only build specific things in specific places (hence why they haven't expanded DCA or Disneyland to the west side of Disneyland Dr.). This concept art we are seeing is one possible scenario that updating the DRSP would allow them to do. Even if the city and Disney can mutually agree on an updated DRSP, it doesn't necessarily mean they will expand the parks exactly like they are showing in the concept art. They are just telling the public, "Hey, this could be what we get if Disney and Anaheim can mutually agree on terms for the DRSP."

By 2028, you get the new Eastern Gateway, and another Hotel or two.

There is no bait and switch here. People are seeing the concept art and not reading anything and assuming this is the plan. It's not. The plan is to rezone the area to let Disney do what they want on their property. I hope they expand the parks, but there's nothing here guaranteeing they will.

If they move that fountain off-center for the new bridge over Disneyland Drive, I can't wait to be a part of the discussion on how New Orleans Square is nothing but a ruined environment of off-center architecture! Let's hope Kim Irvine in a hard hat is also involved.
Should I start the Expansion Bridge Ruins New Orleans Square! thread now, or maybe wait a day or two?

Is that outlining attractions or just everything related to that park's operations?

It is if Disney convinces the city to approve based on “hey we’re going to build more theme park” and then they do something else with the land. I understand the specifics dont exist.
