Considering that TWDC was in the process of acquiring DLP that year (they started in February, I believe, and officially acquired Euro Disney SCA in June), I wouldn't be surprised if they opened up the Disney bank vault for Paris' Grand Celebration as a gesture of goodwill to everyone in the resort.

You're a funny guy
I reassure you it was all thanks to the "Prince".
This acquisition didn't change anything at all.
DLP pays royalties to avoid taxes in France and to feed directly mummy WDC at home while promoting new Disney movies in theaters.
The only gifts from the WDC were cupcakes for cast members, litteraly

I think it was nothing more than a rumour.

I don't want to give them ideas but they could just let the rubbish pile up by the side of the lake and call it a Wall-E themed land

Don't forget to throw in a Buy ‘n Large so people can eat and drink their way through the land. The ultimate immersive experience , soon at DLP

Am I being impatient in saying that 7 years from announcement to opening is too long?
Way too long. Ridiculous. I know nobody asked for the pandemic and Disney builds slow but come on... On the other hand relieved it’s still happening.
I’d rather something else as a Lion King land is just another step towards another Disneyland park.
I mean we’re almost getting there anyway with Frozen - Fantasyland, Marvel - Discoveryland/Tomorrowland. I’d rather something different than another Adventureland.

I could see people thinking Frozen is something that belongs in Fantasyland, but no way Marvel can be compared to Paris' Discoveryland.
It doesn’t, but still fits the MK 2.0 that seems to be plaguing Epcot and the Studios expansion.
I think Frozen should have a big presence in the park as its one of the most successfull disney princess films ever. I kinda wish theyd expand on that idea and make it bigger with more than 1 ride. Id rather have 2 large themed areas around the lake with multiple rides than 3 smaller areas each with 1 ride.

So I’d take a total redesign of the existing park (esp the entrance) instead of SWGE. Make the park a place you actually wanna spend time in. Like Buena Vista Street or the original 20s mainstreet design. I think the park would benefit much more from that than another miniland.
BUT, how is that large lake gonna work with only FEA on the otherside and nothing else around it?

Seven years from now this will be done and poor EPCOT will still look like a construction site...

I'd be fine if they just teared down the 3D movie theater in Discoveryland and used that space and the former Pizza Planet buffet for Rise of the Resistance and chose some other ride for the Studios.

If it was planned right you could make a nice star wars mini land in this area If you used some of the backstage area beyond the berm and maybe reconfigure the entrance to star tours. In the studio park you could have an indoor avatar land (like Tokyo’s mermaid lagoon), toontown or maybe something like monsters inc
