Disney Parks Blog snuck this in at the bottom of their "not-to-miss-Pixar-Fest experiences" article.

Better get in that last Chew Chew train ride!

Why not just transplant all of A Bugs Land to Pixar Pier as is?

Now my kids will never have fun at DCA again.

I found this on youtube:

“Super Hero-themed land”. Sounds as exciting as Pixar Pier...

Because then they can't surprise dupe guests into thinking they're making new experiences for them!

What are the odds that Marvel Land will be as charming as Bugs Land? Ok that’s a rhetorical question. Very low. I welcome some new thrill rides and ride systems but don’t have much interest in Marvel. In addition, I don’t have a lot of faith in what the land will end up looking like.

Once they get rid of all the bugs, I hope guests are prepared to wallow in shoulder-high waste.

Fun fact: one time my gf tried to convince me that DL didn't have bugs because she had never seen any. 2 minutes later we entered the building for Buzz Lightyear and I pointed out a dead cockroach on the floor.

Ugh...now I'm going to have to go to an actual mall to get my kiddie mall train fix. Thx a lot Disney!!!

Luckily there's one close by with a Mrs. Fields right across from it, so I'll even get that cookie smell.

You’re not excited for a land where the exterior for Mission: Dumpster Dive finally fits in? Industrial land is going to be great.

Well they are transporting flik's flyers to become emotional whirlwind (best name ever by the way).
I'm actually really surprised they aren't transporting it's tough to be a bug as well, that was the land's one e-ticket and the only attraction worth going to over there.

I had one land on my shoulder in the Emporium

A stranger pointed it out to me.

No one in my family would get it off of me.

I freaked out.

Merchandise was at risk.

I didn't care.

Proving once and for all that Disney forum fans eventually become slightly nostalgic for anything.

It really is tough to be a bug.

After the PR campaign for Pixar Pier, the public should be used to it.

Gonna miss the bamboo and the cute lamp posts. ... ... That's about it.

Bugs Land left much to be desired as far as attractions go (although ITTBAB was great). However, based on some of WDI’s recent work, there is a strong chance that Bugs Land has better place making than Marvel Land. Then there is also the issue that Marvel Land still feels like a very vague concept. So far the rumor is some sort of College Campus for Hero’s/ brewery with GOTG: MB sitting in the middle of it? Ya, no.
