olds meets new... Development shifted to crossing into the new trilogy, as well as hankerings from the past. (And past plans).. This project will make the DCA re-do look like a weekend refurb of a tommorrowland bathroom.

It'll have as much of a transition as Disneyland's Main Street and Adventureland.

Single people within Disney are probably not stupid, but it it not uncommon for large corporations to make stupid decisions.

They made a mistake announcing Avatar WAY too soon, which I assume is part of the reasoning.
Another is because although they have big plans and a budget, no plans have been made final. Things can (and will) change (and no, not just for the worse).
California will be completed first, and based on what goes on there will affect what happens on our side

I think It's high time we get a DHS Remodel / construction Forum placed up next to the Avatarland and Disney Springs construction Forums.
The writing is on the wall and the rumors are starting to get confirmed. As it is, it's starting to get troublesome to keep track of all the rumors because they are spread throughout several forums and even more topics..

Thats an extremely vague and widespread statement. Nostradamus did the same thing.

Ok, but haven't they been building up the bigger Star Wars presence in the domestic parks for years now? Basically what you're saying is Disney will continue to close everything at DHS but build something new at DLR first because they have no final plans yet?They made a mistake announcing Avatar WAY too soon, which I assume is part of the reasoning.

They did an ad for SWW on how it would look albeit that the Earfile Tower is standing where the Indy Stunt Show is in this photo..
Cool Picture, but is the odd placement of the tower just for icon recognition or does it speak to the level of which Disney assumes and/or knows that the general public lacks decent knowledge of the parks?They did an ad for SWW on how it would look albeit that the Earfile Tower is standing where the Indy Stunt Show is in this photo..

As critical as I am of the current state of affairs, I will say that they do a GREAT job with the SWW ads. A few recent ones are a bit cheezy, like the Vader cupcake, but overall they are usually great.

Am I happy that it's happening? Yeah. The park needs some life breathed into it from somewhere.
Am I hyped? Not really. Not only do I feel it will be slowly shanked to death and cheapened at every opportunity they can manage, I feel they are going to drag their feet so slowly that by the time they are finished Universal will be announcing a 5th gate on the moon.

I spent a lot of time looking around the closed area from Darth's Mall (where AFI was) and from LMA during SW weekends. You could see almost all of the old Backlot Tours Pearl Harbor area, as well as Catastrophe Canyon. Not a thing has been done yet besides maybe some small prop removal, which wasn't even evident to me. It almost looks like you could have the Backlot Tour back up and running in a few days if you wanted to (minus the trams, of course).
Oh, and I hear that number is slightly inflated because a large amount of that number ($500 mil +) is being used for parking and road projects around DHS. The number I had heard was $1.5 - 2 billion, not including the parking and road work.

No.
We're saying DHS is a multi phase project over at least several years involving Pixar first and then star wars. Pixar will be first. The entire park will be rebranded/renamed. Budgets are at least $3B. That much we know.
I've also been told - for a year now- that Star Wars at Disneyland will come first and be announced first.
There are final plans. They were approved a week and a half ago.
Nothing else has leaked out. All of this unsourced article that everyone is referring to seems to be a compilation of old and outdated rumors.
So. Sit back and enjoy the ride. They're investing a boatload in DHS. They're bigger than US Steel.

So Disneyland gets the massive DCA refurb, a new parade and fireworks for its 60th, plus other attraction updates and Star Wars first, while WDW gets a half shut down Hollywood Studios and just promises of a massive upgrade 5-6 years down the road? Ugh. Excuse me if I can't just enjoy the ride until Disney actually reveals their plans when they've hinting at a bigger Star Wars presence in the domestic parks for years now.

Looking forward to their next overhaul: Disney's Adventure Adventure. It'll feel like you're really in an adventure!

You need to consider where the majority of attendees at D23 are coming from. And based on that, you need to think about what they are concerned with. I believe that reasoning will allow you to understand why TWDC approaches it the way they do.
No.
As mentioned elsewhere this article is a mix of semi fact, grasping at clues and wishful thinking.
As an example, no work has begun on the backlot area.
Another is the monies discussed are not exactly correct.
