If this develops, I wonder if the good ol' chili dog and general whiff that SGE had will still be in there (I've heard CMs say it's still there when they're trying to take a break). Wouldn't be surprised if it's just permanently scarred into the building at this point.

I thought AE was brilliant. Masterfully done storytelling that gets progressively creepier until you get into the chamber theater...beautifully paced and very well done. It wasn't until Stitch took up residence that I ever saw it almost empty. The Magic Kingdom can use some more intense things to even out the park... Tron just helped a bit...but MK compared to Disneyland falls short on attraction count and detail.

It's mindboggling that they have had an empty building on the main walk of Tomorrowland for several years now. Please someone substantiate @Magicart87's rumor rumblings!

Disneyland is perceived to be an "all ages" park. For better or worse, our MK has the reputation of being the "kiddie park" If AE had opened at DL first it would probably have been a hit

We have TRON now, though. And booze. I wonder if AE would be acceptable nowadays (not that they’d build it again, of course).

At this point what bothers me more is how much of this makeover was either just painting things from the '94 redo white or not finishing things like the PeopeMover supports.
Except for the CoP building and sign, It looks worse now than before they started.

The land needs to commit to an aesthetic and stick with it, no argument there. The pavement situation in the land is the prime example of this.
WDI redesigned the main drag only up to Astro and then at Tron. Then they left 4/5th of Rocket tower Plaza’s 1994 pavement. That 1994 design was also never completed beyond the center, so there’s still massive swaths of 1971-1975 black slurry around it.
You’d think they could take a little of Epcot’s new pavement budget, which seems limitless between WS & WC, and give it to finishing Tomorrowland’s new design.

it's so weird how some places that don't particularly seem to need it get repaved all the time, while others that are in desperate need get ignored for decades

Well been a while. Anyone know if there's been any work going on at Tomorrowland?
No. Not yet.

I am guessing they finished returning the people mover supports to all white and then stopped... I have not been to the MK since TRON went in...I am going next week to see what's new... Seems odd though...another year with a shuttered attraction right in the entrance to Tomorrowland, the flanking attraction is a monster themed comedy club... Like no one understands the concept of a futuristic Sc-fi World and can design attractions and enhancements that match the well established theme.... kind of awful...and just plain sad.
Yep. TRON should have been the catalyst to reinvigorate the entire land and relaunch it. Instead, it's just a band-aid on a largely abandoned land.

But let’s build an expansion on the other side of the park!

Yeah......what happened to that? Instead they shortened the track (again) and just left it as is...All those plans for the 50th, and Tomorrowland gets a new attraction plopped down like a sore thumb in an established "neighborhood" with no additional complementary decor to seat it properly into the land... Tron-ification of the speedway would have gone a long way towards fixing that... Adding some of the TRON design motifs to the Peoplemover tracks and existing buildings would have helped too....

Didn’t they also only go part of the way in removing the gear pavement?

A "Tomorrowland" with the most antiquated motor vehicle ride imaginable.
