Such an inefficient use of space. They could at least have used the footprint of the coaster to put another flat ride underneath an elevated part of the track.

If they could keep that Jack Sparrow building, it would seem to me to be a potential place to do a Toy Story themed M&G (like a Woody's Roundup theme, maybe even with it as a bit of a show).

I'm wondering about how Pixar Place will be closed off. If they are building some sort of large wall/other "berm" structure, it seems like it would require much more advanced closing of Pixar Place for a bit before TSL is open. However, they could also make it more just gate like, as part of me wonders if they are going to use Pixar Place as a pathway for the huge crowd spreading when Star Wars opens.
You can put up those walls/gate that are offset from each other and go past each other. There are many of them in the parks right now all over the place. They're painted and decorated to blend in. The CMs just walk right around them and most guests don't notice the gap. They're drawn to the weenie and don't look sharply right or left and assume that they're just solid walls there.

I have a feeling that Pixar Place will sort of become a themed bypass that they will use for only the busiest times, much like the Main Street bypass.
Would I be wrong in thinking that?
Probably. The layout will lend itself to backstage facilities and not much more. The only bypass value would be to bypass the main (wide) walkway of TSL which I can't see a reason for. Unless you also want to deliver food to the kitchens of Sci Fi Dine In.

Nice sketch
. That helps a lot to see the layout. So is the orange square the food offering? Are they planning to just expand that space for food or is there another area with a potential new restaurant?

Including the Door Coaster, which was supposed to be phase 2. Is it true that this was cancelled due to the recession, or was there more to it?
I've never heard the recession related to it.

It was crowd control, wasn't it? Having Monsters Inc and TSMM right next to each other.

It was cheapness and failure to commit. This is the same company that put Fantasmic by RnRC which is next to ToT, Splash next to Big Thunder, Mission Space next to Test Track (the former was supposed to be a hit), and Soarin's entrance off the crowded Land food court.
Nope. They even got as far as to do soil surveys.

I really despair if this will be anything like the Paris version.
Please trust me the Toy Story Land in Paris is so cheap, so rubbish, not very Disney at all. I was shocked at how appalling it was.

The rides are all completely different. The theme seems very similar based on concept art.

Maybe they'll learn from their mistakes.
If they didn't, this whole DHS expansion is a complete waste.
An very cheap land that should have gone into better detail, and a land about people in bathrobes in outer space and explosions with devilish-like creatures.

Nothing beats opening day DCAAt least it's not a land about farming.

It depends on what you mean by mistakes. If you mean the ride lineup it seems like the DHS version will have considerably more meat to it (especially if you include TSMM as part of the land even though it was already there). It really had to being that the crowd levels are considerably higher and the ride lineup in Paris is low capacity.
If you mean the overall theme and look of the land, it seems like it might be pretty similar with the theme of being shrunk down in Andy's backyard with oversized toys.
Here's the Paris version:
And here's the concept art for DHS:
The tinker toy Lights and oversized toy theme is very similar. It's a matter of personal preference. A lot of people don't like the overall concept.
