I suspect Tron is there so they can shut down Space Mountain then slowly rebuild it after Tron opens. Executive: "It's the same thing!"

Aren't the expansion pads: 1) pretty much all the still existing backstage areas below that red circle; and 2) backstage and parking lot behind Indy.

the circled area is set aside for resource management according to the RCID 20/20 plan

Most excellent! I was going to complain ... too bad the parking lot is in the middle but ... easy to bump the parking out a bit farther.
Disney should take the lower left parking lot and the open land just below it and build a 2 to 3 planet addition to the Star Wars area. Then build a new hotel on the middle section of open land and more parking on the top section of open land. There is no reason that Hollywood Studios can't draw 20 million people a year if it is expanded properly.

Wow! I assume this became possible as a result of the relatively recent land acquisitions they made to count towards their preservation requirements.

Planets in boxes I call it. Each connected by some sort of immersive people mover. Climate controlled so easier to maintain. Prints money as a side gig.

Any Bets on What Comes After Galaxy's Edge?
Yeah DHS really needs a refresh after GE.
Any Bets on What Comes After Galaxy's Edge?
A slightly more ambitious guess. Pathway created linking this new area to the animation courtyard The quick-service food food stands on Sunset boulevard are re-themed after Pixar properties. Similar to Pixar Pier. A new attraction is added to the area (family friendly ride with no height limit).
- The current Pixar Place becomes a backstage area
- The entrance to Pixar Place is moved, replacing the entrance to the Rock-n-Rollercoaster area.
- The Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is re-themed to the Incredibles

It is the result of a land purchase, but not a recent one, this happened a couple years ago

Here's my best guess as to how this whole thing plays out.
1) Pixar Studios sign moved and a new one constructed at the entrances to this area
2) One Man's Dream replaced with the black box/ flex ride they are building for Epcot's Play Pavilion
3) Monsters Inc Laugh floor is moved to HS and replaces Voyage of the Little Mermaid
4) Launch Bay replaced with Pixar Animation experience. Similar to the old Magic of Disney Animation attraction.
5) Backstage buildings are replaced with pixar themed flat rides
6). Rock-n-roller coaster gets an Incredicoaster overlay
7) Lightning McQueen Racing Academy
8) Pixar overhaul of Sunset Ranch Market Food Stands

Has anyone actually confirmed a Black Box ride at EPCOT?

I really dig this idea, but it would require moving the current cast member cafeteria (Take 5) and potentially doing something with the Animation building and the parking garage closeby.

Looks like a perfect shape for a parking lot to me!
Now let's take over and develop the existing parking lot. We won't stop the demands until Hollywood Studios is a 2 day park!!!

My god, all these theories are horrible, hope this never happens
Edit: In terms of theme this is terrible. I’m all for more to do at DHS, but “Pixar” is not a theme. I would much rather prefer an entire land based on a single world from Pixar. Monsters Inc and Incredibles would both make really cool lands, and Cars Land is proven already.

Agreed!
What I find interesting in this thread is the amount of posters commenting on the need of more attractions no matter how insignificant. People want to visit DHS but they don't want to wait hours in line just to get on some "epic" attractions. It seems that the crowd eating shows aren't holding guests attention much and I kind of feel the return/rideability of these aging dinos are coming to an end.
Maybe it's time for the Mouse to consider some flat attractions that could be anchored by an IP or other theme that will at least give the little ones something to do outside of the shows and a couple rides.
