So 3-4 “Galaxy’s Edge” worth of rides and theming? Maybe a little less if they built a few more rides that GE could have used. Interesting if it happens.
Not all at once probably, but that sounds about right. I'd imagine it will happen. In general, I believe, what's good for Disneyland is more or less good for Anaheim.
I'm excited, and *want* it to happen for sure. I just know the latest fickleness of Disney, so until they start breaking ground, I'm not getting *too* excited. :)
And then, separate gate? Per ride ticketing? So many interesting questions.
In this case it wouldn't so much be fickleness as persuading folks in Anaheim to grant the variances necessary to develop the land and allow for more attractions. Nothing is set in stone, of course, but Disney has indicated the new attractions would be expansions of the existing two theme parks, which desperately need capacity. Hence the proposed pedestrian bridges connecting the parks with the new lands.
Funny enough, I’m in the Disneyland resort as I read this, and I can say, there’s definitely a need for expansion- this place is packed, even at the end of January! I look “forward” (see what I did there) to watch the resort’s progress in the decade to come. I just hope that with all the modern bells and whistles at their disposal, Disney maintains the level of charm and detail that is unique to the original Happiest Place On Earth!

Ahh, you *are* making me excited! :)

Tom! How great that you are at Disneyland! Agreed about preserving the charm.
I’ll say, after seeing The Adventureland Treehouse, my hope is bolstered. It’s a perfect combination of old school charm with modern Disney touches.
Are we going to get a running commentary of your day at Disneyland? Keep 'em coming!
Ha ha! I’m actually here for a work convention, so I’m fitting in park time as I can. But if I see something neat, I’ll let you know!
