New Tomorrowland @ Disneyland? Is this the year it finally gets announced? No, and that’s OK

As long as there is a AA Phoebe Cates (preferable by a pool) and Jennifer Jason Leigh, I'm good with that.

It definitely has its charm. Just not sure about the cheesy little space murals on the right.

I was trying to stick more to Tomorrowland proper but yeah if you include that then it takes the cake.

Please don’t. Arcades don’t belong in theme parks.and put this stuff back in.

A Flynn's Arcade would be great. and it checks the IP box.

Sure it would be cool to have the actual tron game but what about the rest of the arcade? I do not like cheap arcade games in theme parks. A hotel or entertainment complex a la Disney springs? Retro and cool but it’s a waste of space in an actual park.

Add vintage arcade games, racing, fighting, shooters, VR games and some new Disney Quest games. Add a bar will attract all the Disney alcoholics. No ticket/prize games.

The biggest problem with TL is not the aesthetic, it's the wear and tear. It's the erosion on the concrete that exposes bits of gravel within it. It's the layers of "this wall from this decade" and then "this handrail from another decade" and then "this safety sign from yet another decade" and then "this lamp post from still yet another decade" all on top of each other, all using fasteners and engineering from their respective decades.
It's the old methods of construction. For example, we have much cleaner and THINNER ways of holding up glass than what you see here (I'll just steal a bit from @Consumer ):
While I personally think Midcentury Retro Futuristic is the best theme for the place, I'm also afraid it's the cheap way out, because it would embolden the bean-counters to say "Just give it fresh paint - it already is retro."
I was just there last week for the first time since 2019, and really the place needs to be torn down and rebuilt. Space Mountain is still a great ride, but nothing around it is worthy of saving.

Do you trust the people that gave us TBA and forgot to put drains outside of the Leota shop with this task? I’d need to see them prove themselves over at DCA and across the street at Simba lot first.

Simba lot? Unless that’s where avatar is going we’re probably not going to see development there for at least a decade.
That fine with me. Don’t want these incompetent people near Tomorrowland.

Probably not, but I trust the Galaxy's Edge team. Over the past few years since I visited, I had been sucked into the online mantra of "Chapek cheaped out... missing Bantha ride... need more droid walk arounds... change the timeline..." But you know what I rediscovered? The land is awesome! We did Rise twice (best queue in the park, thanks to benches!), Falcon once, and really liked shopping in the market. We lingered at the docking bay restaurant for awhile because the food was good and the shade was nice, and every inch I looked over had some interesting flourish that says "a designer cared about this."
Tomorrowland has nothing like that. Every square inch is a compromise with layers of prior minor refurbishments piled upon minor refurbishments. It's the antithesis of proper Imagineering. It literally tells you a story of "We don't care. No designer with vision is guiding you through this space. It's all corporately compromised."
