That was the first thing I thought...didn’t look like there’s a lot of open space in that area. Maybe that’s the intention though...crowded spaceport.As I've long suspected (and mentioned), as newer photos come in you can see that the approach paths and entry areas for this land use more land at Disneyland compared to DHS. The central area of the lands look to be identical, but it's the entry areas that differ the most, especially the extra land on the western end from Critter Country to the Battle Escape ride. You can also see how this was obviously designed first for Disneyland, then shoehorned in to DHS at a later date.
That said, the central marketplace area in front of the MF ride looks.... really cramped. Can you imagine the crowds and gridlock this will create next summer? It will make the alleys of New Orleans Square seem like a giant shopping mall by comparison.

I love that the market place will be "narrow" and winding like NO Square or parts of Animal Kingdom. Will make the area vary interesting.
It does looked cramped from the photos, but some of those areas are much bigger than you think. Looks at some of the vehicles in there.

The Magic of DisneyThat's the Fantasmic! boat storage barn that is buried under the berm. It is accessed via the hidden portal behind the waterfall along the railroad trestle before you get to the Indian Village.
Fantasmic boats and barges enter through the A-frame under the trestle, after they turn off the waterfall.

Agreed. Check the big thunder footprint for comparison. Some of those marketplace buildings are almost as wide as the entire roller coaster's footprint. The millennium falcon area might be cramped regardless. Once you plop the ship in there the paths seem to be the same as all the other paths in the park.
It is indeed 83. There is a thing that covers part of the 8 and 3 which makes the 8 look like a 6. It falls on the empty space of the 3 so, it doesn't affect it. The other thing making the 8 look like a 6 is a smudge in the upper left corner.

I know it'll be terrible to walkthrough when it opens, but I absolutely agree. It makes it so much more interesting. I wish Adventureland was bigger so it could have a bazaar area like that. It just fits that intimate feeling of Disneyland, even though I still think the overall scale of the land is wrong.

Mmm, it’s easy to lose context of proportions from actual humans when it’s so zoomed out!

Agreed. We are all trying to extrapolate what this is going to look like as we walk through it. I'm just trying to imagine these amazing satellite images (and by that I mean truly amazing photos taken from space, not the type of amazing the average 25 year old uses who has a stunted vocabulary and proclaims via Instagram their latest avocado toast to be "amazing"
) will look like from eye level as we walk through these alleys and spaces.There's still a lot of landscaping, props, street furniture, walls, stairs, ramps and building accesories that have not yet been applied. I think this section of the land is going to be a maze of narrow alleys and walkways cluttered with ultra-themeing. It will be great thematically and artistically, but a nightmare when it comes to crowd control for the first 5 years of operation.

No kidding. Once you get in, you’re going to want to stay and really make the most of it - how are OPs going to encourage people to leave to make room for more people?

Shock collars? $25 charge for missing their dinner reservation at Blue Bayou? First order abducting people and escorting them to the exit?

Easy, just offer immediate fast passes to GOTG:MB or POTC.

Here's a nice big one, although it still cuts off the western entrance from Critter Country at the lower left hand corner. https://micechat.com/203028-star-wars-land-update-with-aerial-photos/

Looks like the foundation for one of the tie fighter is being prepped. if i remember the model it is the octagonal shape against the tree line just north of the fantasyland entrance

A Jar Jar ride in the style of the Fantasyland rides would be incredible.

Again, no spaceships for Anaheim. Anaheim gets the Jar Jar one-man-show.
