You must not have seen Remember: Dreams Come True. Or ridden DL's properly updated Space Mountain which was effectively a new ride in the shell of an old one. Or visited DL in general in 2005 after seeing it in 2003.

I'm pretty sure DL got a new ride from each of the resorts world wide. Buzz was only one of them.

I'd take Miles From Tomorrowland over Laugh Floor and Stitch. At least it actually is set in Tomorrowland
you're right that adding a preschool-skewing attraction is NOT what MK needs... we already have a whole land dedicated to the stroller brigade. But GotG and WALL-E, possibly BH6, are the only IPs I would support coming to Tomorrowland. They're futuristic enough where I wouldn't mind them being there if they were well-executed. Of course, Tomorrowland won't be getting any love within the next 5-7 years other than possibly a Space Mountain overhaul.
Personally, I'd like to see Tomorrowland, Adventureland and Frontierland go wild with original attractions. Leave the IPs for Fantasyland, DHS and certain areas of AK. Unless a particular IP is a perfect fit (WALL-E in Tomorrowland, Indiana Jones or JttCotE/20K in Adventureland)

Miles from Tomorrowland should be added to a gift shop and that's about it. Well, and Disney Junior at DHS. I'd love to see Wall-E added to the parks but I don't think he's popular enough, unfortunately. I mean, he hasn't had a sequel green-lit, so I gather Bob doesn't like him.I'd take Miles From Tomorrowland over Laugh Floor and Stitch. At least it actually is set in Tomorrowland

GotG i'd only use at DHS...if it even can be used, I still have doubts. I mean, if it could 100% be used and they weren't just testing Uni, don't you think Star Lord and Gamora would be out for M&Gs DAILY?I'd take Miles From Tomorrowland over Laugh Floor and Stitch.

Anyway, I actually like Laugh Floor... it just belongs in DHS. I'm honestly not sure what to do with Tomorrowland right now. BH6 I don't think was big enough for a ride, but an exhibit in innoventions? I think that's a distinct possibility. I think they should never have pulled the plug on the Tron ride that was supposed to come here (and is now in Shanghai). That would be something that would add real life to the area.

I like Laugh Floor, but it's simply not Tomorrowland. It's a people-eater, but if the New Frontierland expansion significantly increases capacity, I wouldn't mind seeing a similar Monsters Inc show moving to DHS into one of the Animation Courtyard theaters.
I'd say 10-12 yrs down the road (after New Frontierland, whatever happens at Epcot, the DHS overhaul, etc), Tomorrowland should get a revamp/expansion of its own. No closures... no decreased capacity. Real expansion. Plenty of spaces they could expand into... especially if the Speedway is bulldozed.

Hopefully in 10-12 years they won't still be using Laser Disks and Car Phones!

I just don't think Tomorrowland in MK needs another coaster. Tomorrowland needs its own E-ticket equivalent to Spidey/Gringotts/FJ, and some C/D people-eaters. Along with the fixing of Space and CoP.
I'd love for an expansion behind the Speedway that includes:
- UFO Encounter (once rumored for Tokyo Disneyland... it basically combined the EMV ride system with ToT's drops and FJ's KUKA arms) - 2,000-2,500/hr
- Plectu's Intergalactic Revue (5,000-6,000/hr musical stage show)
- enclosed Flying Saucers (Junkyard Jamboree-esque) - would include two sides... double Junkyard's capacity.
Laugh Floor uses the Main Street parking lot to become a family dark ride similar to Horizons... Stitch replaced by anything, lol.
I would be okay with TRON, if it uses the space between Space/CoP... AND it doesn't replace PeopleMover. As a D-ticket like Raging Spirits or the Indy coaster at Paris, I wouldn't mind, but I just don't want Tomorrowland to get another IP-based attraction... I'd like UFO Encounter just a little bit more.
Adventureland and Fantasyland are the only areas of MK where a major coaster could be warranted (Fire Mountain and Bald Mountain... still waiting haha),

Yeah, Disneyland and Disney World did this strange thing where they got attractions from all over the world...it was weird.

DL did? I thought it was just WDW. Cinderellabration, Soarin', Lucky, and what did DHS get? I don't remember. Maybe a parade?

Right, right. How could I forget the show I saw once. Sometimes I forget it's back there.

It's cute...once maybe twice....thing is a giant stadium show like that kills so much time I do not want to commit to the hour of waiting, the 20+ minute show, and then fighting the crowd out of the theater...I would rather go on an attraction rather than yet another show...
So I am really hoping that a big show is not in the works as part of a MK expansion...

Also Robinsons and the Tomorrowland movie. Even though Tomorrowland was a flop, that shouldn't stop the parks from borrowing aesthetics from it.

You might as well just do a new raft ride disconnected from the Roaring Mountain theme then. Roaring Rapids is so damn impressive sounding specifically for Qaraq, not just because he's a giant croco-dino monster, but that the previous two Disney raft rides are all empty environment-focused things that lack substance. Grizzly Peak doesn't have any visible bears and the only monsters on Kali are that burning truck and those little twerps shooting water at you using the elephant statues.
A raft ride with stuff actually happening like that Louis and Clark concept could be great for Frontierland.
