I hope they move Star Tours to Star Wars Land and when it's current build is being renovated they renovate all of Tommorrowland and make it feel futuristic again.
I'm encouraged by most of the leaks and official disclosures about the expansion. I'll never be able to look at the Rivers of America without waxing nostalgic about how it used to be but that said, I'm excited about the next chapter and I have a feeling when it is all said and done, it will look amazing. That said, assuming MiceChat's drawing is completely accurate, a crowd-capacity path going between the Hungry Bear and Rivers of America is going to take away a LOT of what I love about Hungry Bear. The zen of that place is sitting at the water's edge, feeding the ducks, watching the Mark Twain go by, forgetting the world for a moment. I'm glad Disney has officially stated that Hungry Bear is to remain intact but I wish the path went behind the Hungry Bear not at water's edge. In fact, now that we're breaking the entire "beyond the berm" concept, let's commit to it fully and put the path along the outside of the train tracks. Again, we'll get used to it eventually and that terminus has always caused traffic problems in New Orleans Square so walking traffic will congest a lot less this way. Based on the concept art officially released by Disney, I can say with confidence that the dark brown sections indicate rock formations with waterfalls. As for the trees facing Disneyland Drive, I don't think that's accurate. I agree with you completely, Dave, that the backstage outward-facing side of Radiator Springs is a crime. (I've always thought they should solve that by simply putting another facade on the other side along with DCA signage.) If you look on Disney's official maps, they take a lot of artistic license and draw many bordering trees that aren't really there. In actuality, they are backstage buildings and service roads. Surely they will need those resources to operate the expansion so the idea of trees right up to the edge seems logistically impossible or at least highly improbable. Rumor on the future expansion is that at some point as of yet not announced STAR TOURS will move from its present location in Tomorrowland along with other STAR WARS themed areas. Tomorrowland is on the drawing board for a MAJOR revamp but my understanding is it is years away, well after the STAR WARS expansion opens.
+Robert J. Holtz We shouldn't be feeding people food to the ducks, anyway, haha! Perhaps they will compromise with what is shown with about a 20 foot thickness of trees.....that may be feasible.
I think the dark brown is showing us where the decor of rocks will be. It follows the train path and it would make sense for you to walk through a tunnel to be transported to another land.
+Mateo Pelissier It looks to me like there will be "Natural Arches" that the entry path will go through from the Big Thunder trail leading into Star Wars Land
+Dan Best Correct, Look at the pics of new railroad bridge and waterfalls. It is the same color as the tunnels. So I think it is rock work, like you said
I think the dark brown lines are rock work or buffer work between the lands because we already know they are making waterfalls and such from cliffs based off artist renderings.
Am I the only one that thinks Toon town needs a huge upgrade?, it almost feels like Disney is looking at it like the black sheep of his lands, It needs another E ticket atraction, and i dont see a reason to get rid of it, a town where all your favorite cartoons live has so much potential then just an E ticket ride and a few decorative buildings.
With such a large show building I'm thinking two possibilities. Either coaster or something based on the RC technology of Ratatouille (which is already being.implemented elsewhere).
+michael Richards +john vanacker The RC tech, or rides like Transformers and Spider Man require buildings of that size. This is definitely a ride with movement and theming.
I am very excited if this is truly how it will end up looking. It appears to be a very good layout. It'll be nice that the path doesn't just end in Critter Country like it does now. This all looks very promising and very exciting.
I know this is something that is pure speculation on my part but I would love it if they worked on the TSI, the rock work and river front first. Then the DLRR and ROA could reopen early. The rock work would hide the construction.
I'm wondering about that run of the train from the Big Thunder Trail to Toontown. That's a pretty long stretch that's longer than the existing tunnel near there. At the least, that run could have the feel of a utility corridor, a simple tunnel, or a nature walk. On the other hand, it could present like the Grand Canyon / Primeval World, Superspeed Tunnel, or the World of Tron.
That's not a tunnel, thats rockwork that helps disguise both the Disneyland railroad and the backstages of Star Wars Land. Think of it like the entrance to Carsland from Pacific Wharf, the mountain acts as a visual barrier so that when you go through the tunnel its a big reveal.
I am excited by the news. A new rollercoaster would be cool and having it secluded from the rest of the park is a must! I am also liking the lack of Tom Sawyers island that is being lost. Only downside IMO is just the lack of being able to have the Rivers of America for the next 12 - 18 mos
I'm liking this! And it looks to me like Fort Wilderness is still there...and if they are putting the Fantasmic storage elsewhere, maybe they will reopen it! I want to congratulate you on the engineering and editing you do with these videos, EG the clever listing of features and the back and forth imagery, etc.....and thank you for your work! Good stuff!
Great breakdown of these images, Dave! It's interesting that it's such a large land with only two rides (currently). I feel like they learned from Cars Land, where one great flagship ride is enough to anchor a land. Meanwhile the other rides in Cars Land feel a little pointless (or worse, like Luigi's), so they just trimmed the fat for Star Wars Land. Hopefully there will be a lot of "immersive" environments to explore outside of the actual attractions.
If Disney wanted to add more expansions, what would they do about space? They took a lot of space over near Adventure land, and there isn't much space in between Fantasyland, Star Wars land, and Toon Town. Maybe by Critter Country?
+Noah Frederick Yes, they are leaving some backstage building they they can move in the future. Watch they video where dave is on mickey and friends. He explains it with Mike
Feeling so positive about Star Wars Land now. I was angry when they first announced they'd be building it in Disneyland and shortening the Rivers, but now seeing as the "damage" will be minimal and how much effort seems to be going into separating SWL from the rest of the park, I'm down. Bring on Star Wars Land.
Also, arent they gonna move Star tours to the star wars land?, cause it wont make sense to have a ride based on star wars in a place that goes whit the theme of the future now that there will be an entire Star Wars theme land
I'm guessing they will just get rid of Star Tours altogether. There's really no reason to move an entire attraction to another land. Plus you're kind of in a Star Wars land already, so it defeats the purpose of the ride.
I like that that it looks like the land will be well cordoned off from everything else in the park. I understand that Star Wars land had to come to Disneyland (it was really the only park with space for it) and I'm HUGELY excited for it, but I was worried how it would fit with the rest of the park and the more vague and generic themes of the other lands and whether or not it would fit with Frontierland rather than Tomorrowland (so am wondering what will happen to Star Tours, which will be weirdly located a long way from the rest of the Star Wars attractions). But it looks hidden and like you said, like it could almost be a third gate (without the third gate)...And I guess the original idea of Star Wars as a 'space Western' means that it could be an interesting lead up going in through Frontierland and Critter Country - Thanks for sharing! :)
My hotel was right across from the back of cars land and it looked kinda nice expect you could see steal when the sun shone through it, honestly they could use trees there behind radiator springs racers to avoid people seeing through it when outside the park
I would have been so devastated if they removed Mickey and the magical map and the fantasyland theater altogether. It is my favorite attraction in the entire resort.
I was browsing through "future roller coaster" images on Google and found a picture of a plan for a dueling indoor TIE-Fighter and X-Wing roller coaster! Clicked on it and it was a patent filed. Don't know much more, but the building was a similar shape to that of the one shown in plans. Doesn't say WDW nor Disneyland, or even the manufacturer. However, judging by the past of Disney attractions, it is a Vekoma or Intamin.
No... Turns out it's actually an interactive dark ride. Still definitely not disappointed with it still. I searched up "future roller coaster", "future roller coaster disney", "future roller coaster star wars", and "future roller coaster disney star wars" but my search didn't turn up the same result. Sucks.
I wish they would make a connection from Toontown to Star Wars Land. I feel like that would make getting around/bypassing high traffic areas much easier.
Battle Escape show building is roughly the same size and shape as the Forbidden Journey show building at Universal. Forbidden Journey is a mix of simulator and dark ride. So the large show building does not = roller coaster.
Now that Galaxy's Edge has been built, it is interesting to look back and reflect upon this video. Although a lot of this concept art speculation/commentary/observation turned out to be true, many things did not come to pass--at least not in the ways this video expected. It is both hilarious and sad in retrospect to think that a roller coaster might have been built in what is actually Rise of the Resistance. I was surprised that the block of buildings where Oga's Cantina is currently located is listed as the "pre-show and queue" for Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run. Not only is the queue and pre-show for that attraction housed in the same building as the attraction itself, but the size of the building for Oga's Cantina is much, much smaller than originally conceived, since the plans for the sit-down table service dinner theatre restaurant were unfulfilled. Ironically, the extra backstage space actually became an extended queue for Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run, so I guess the image was partly correct. And David's desperate hopes that the backside of Galaxy's Edge would be invisible from outside the park were partially respected: the spires are very visible, but the buildings look like nice warehouses, not ugly steel frames. So a win, I guess.
Personally, I think that they should get rid of Tom sawyers island because most people dont go on it, as I have never even been there. Basically the only people that go there are young kids and people that go there a lot and are board.
If you would go there, you just may like it. I like the fact that it's large enough to roam and get away from the crowds everywhere else. There are some cool places on it, especially for kids. It's not large enough for a single attraction but large enough to lose yourself.
So excited about Star Wars land! Thanks for this video, Fresh Baked! Has Fresh Baked thought of making a "behind the scenes" video on the editing process that goes into making Fresh Baked videos? I think it would be neat to know how the magic happens... an insiders look! :) Does all the editing happen in 1 day for the whole week? How long does it take to edit all the videos? I appreciate all the time and effort spent in making all these videos. I've been watching Fresh Baked for years now with my husband. We are huge fans!!
I'm still skeptical about this rendering. A trail from critter country would make me happy, but that would mean closing down Hungry Bear again wouldn't it?
It looks like the trail would run thru the downstairs dining area which I would think they'd have too close to return but the upstairs most likely would be open I think
Curious to see how they handle StarTours. Wonder if they are considering a re-theme to a more generic space travel experience and remove SW characters?
So I am wondering if they are going to use Fort Wilderness for Fantasmic storage still now that they are going to have a storage area for it near Star Wars Land. If not do you guys think they will re-open Fort Wilderness or maybe do something else with that real estate?
This is such a relief. I've been dreading imagining what the future of Disneyland will look like, but this actually looks great. I'm hoping for A LOT of meet and greats in Star Wars Land ;) My biggest question though is what will happen to Star Tours. Can they possibly move that, or will it stay in Tomorrowland?
it seems like it'll be a pain in the butt to move star tours to star wars land. either rebuilt it and bring the new one OR the original ride back. Either way, it wouldn't bother me at all if star tours stayed in tomorrowland
I like the idea of the new land, I just wish it wasn't based on such a static idea as a single property. Anything they build there HAS to be Star Wars related. It will be the first land in Disneyland to be completely reliant on one idea. Ah well, it will probably be beautiful nonetheless.
Dave, I think Star Wars Land impresses me because of its size. Now, at the beginning I think Star Wars Land would ruin the magic of Disneyland that Walt himself created because for the fact that is, star wars was a different brand made at different studio instead of at the Disney studios, but at the sametime as longs they don't take out any of the attractions in Disneyland I'm all good with that and so I'm excited about star wars land if that makes sence to you!
I am curious if they will be moving star tours and launch bay to the new land once it is complete. It will be odd to have star wars themed attractions in tomorrowland and the new SW land after it opens.
Launch bay is only temporary for Season of the Force, to hype up Star Wars land. Star Tours, however, is up in the air right now. Possibly they could move it to that "Future Expansion" area on the map? Others are saying they will retheme it to a different simulator, possibly like the Iron Man experience in Hong Kong (I think). Personally, I'd hate to see it go
I assume the green path is the new path for the train tracks and I see a future problem with this, Historically every time Disney had made any changes to the train its led to big problems this is due to them being very old and "accustomed" to no changes, meaning for decades the train track path has always been just wide sweeping turns always to the right only now they have rather sharper turns both left and right which will put more stress on the train parts than they have ever ever been exposed to ill be very surprised if there wont be problems or breakdowns due to this.
Ugh! I really hope it's NOT a roller coaster. That's been the biggest downside of the Harry Potter lands at Universal is that most of their rides are mostly that. At least Gringott's is well done though.
So does all this apply to the WDW Star Wars land coming to Hollywood Studios? Does anyone know if the Disneyland and Disney World Star Wars lands are going to be identical or kind of different from each other?
Also something else fellow muffins thos that have been to knotts berry farm they have holding stations for when the train is going thew and offiasly guests don't get ran over.could that happen here? Or will the train in disneyland be elated over the paths to star wars land.
+DisneyFan421 JC It may actually re-open. They are moving the Fantasmic stuff to the other side of the river, so they do not need the fort. I hope they do open it.
Super Excited!!!!!!! Can't wait to see the Imagineering behind Disney's version of #StarWarsLand!!!!!
I hope they move Star Tours to Star Wars Land and when it's current build is being renovated they renovate all of Tommorrowland and make it feel futuristic again.
I'm encouraged by most of the leaks and official disclosures about the expansion.

I think the dark brown is showing us where the decor of rocks will be. It follows the train path and it would make sense for you to walk through a tunnel to be transported to another land.
This drawing, if accurate, has certainly alleviated a lot of my concerns. This looks very promising.
Oh yeah... Awesome video, David!
FRESH BAKED!! (and stuff).
I believe the dark brown pieces all over are going to be rock work
Really like your speculation and thoughts. Thanks for doing these!!!
I 100 percent call roller coaster. That's a LOT of room for two simulators, some shops and restaurants, bathrooms, and walkways.
Disney needs to Build a new Star WARS Themed Hotel!
I think that the dark brown is rock work, due to the ROA concept art.
+Mateo Pelissier You're exactly right.
+Mateo Pelissier It looks to me like there will be "Natural Arches" that the entry path will go through from the Big Thunder trail leading into Star Wars Land
+Dan Best I agree.
+Dan Best Correct, Look at the pics of new railroad bridge and waterfalls. It is the same color as the tunnels. So I think it is rock work, like you said
Thanks for the exciting news, David!! I'm impressed!!
I just hope it doesn't turn into The Star Wars Shopping Mall.
+Jazzie Red there will be plenty of merch for sale, you can count on that.
I know there will be.... But I hope they pick a tasteful cut off point. :)
+Jazzie Red it's Disney... let's be honest. there gonna shove merchandise down our throats hahaha!
id be fine with that. The merch they have right now is very disappointing.
I think the dark brown lines are rock work or buffer work between the lands because we already know they are making waterfalls and such from cliffs based off artist renderings.
It looks better tan I thought!
If they do all the projected changes this could work out well!
Am I the only one that thinks Toon town needs a huge upgrade?, it almost feels like Disney is looking at it like the black sheep of his lands, It needs another E ticket atraction, and i dont see a reason to get rid of it, a town where all your favorite cartoons live has so much potential then just an E ticket ride and a few decorative buildings.
With such a large show building I'm thinking two possibilities. Either coaster or something based on the RC technology of Ratatouille (which is already being.implemented elsewhere).
Or something on the lines of spider man or trams formers at island of adventure and unversal studios
+michael Richards +john vanacker The RC tech, or rides like Transformers and Spider Man require buildings of that size. This is definitely a ride with movement and theming.
Nice rundown!
I'm excited! Star Wars land is the land of my dreams!
I am very excited if this is truly how it will end up looking. It appears to be a very good layout. It'll be nice that the path doesn't just end in Critter Country like it does now. This all looks very promising and very exciting.
Can't wait for it all to be done!
I love the walkway too.
SO EXCITED THANKS FRESH BAKED !!!!!!
Excellent work Dave. You do a great job with these types of videos. One on one with us muffins, it feels that way to me at least.
nice. but what is that future expansion building? maybe where they can put star tours?
+joe gonzo If not, that's what they should do.
That's what I was thinking about.
Terrific analysis! Thank you!
I know this is something that is pure speculation on my part but I would love it if they worked on the TSI, the rock work and river front first. Then the DLRR and ROA could reopen early. The rock work would hide the construction.
I'm wondering about that run of the train from the Big Thunder Trail to Toontown. That's a pretty long stretch that's longer than the existing tunnel near there.

is been almost a year, can do you a video merging these images with current construction
I'm excited!!! Can't wait to see it!!!
I am excited by the news. A new rollercoaster would be cool and having it secluded from the rest of the park is a must! I am also liking the lack of Tom Sawyers island that is being lost. Only downside IMO is just the lack of being able to have the Rivers of America for the next 12 - 18 mos

+kdm71291 thank you very much :)
yeah from what i saw from the behind the scenes map this image was fairly accurate
Great video. thank you for your insight. you guys are the best!
Now we know The Falcon ride is a sim. so a guess star tours will re themed.
this is looking really awesome!
Great breakdown of these images, Dave! It's interesting that it's such a large land with only two rides (currently).

+Rachelle Beaney They may build a new Star tours in SWL. and change Star tour ride to go with a re-concept of Tomorrow Land
My hotel was right across from the back of cars land and it looked kinda nice expect you could see steal when the sun shone through it, honestly they could use trees there behind radiator springs racers to avoid people seeing through it when outside the park
Cantina please!
I would have been so devastated if they removed Mickey and the magical map and the fantasyland theater altogether. It is my favorite attraction in the entire resort.
I was browsing through "future roller coaster" images on Google and found a picture of a plan for a dueling indoor TIE-Fighter and X-Wing roller coaster! Clicked on it and it was a patent filed.

It looks cool. I can't wait for it to be open. I'm going to miss the train and tom sawyers island when I visit this summer.
Personally, I think that they should get rid of Tom sawyers island because most people dont go on it, as I have never even been there. Basically the only people that go there are young kids and people that go there a lot and are board.

that brown underground thing. is a heavy industrial tunnel
Now that this is now over one year old. Can there be and up date to this video and a more accurate detailed image of the progress so far??
I'm still skeptical about this rendering. A trail from critter country would make me happy, but that would mean closing down Hungry Bear again wouldn't it?
Why would they need to close Hungry Bear?
It looks like the trail would run thru the downstairs dining area which I would think they'd have too close to return but the upstairs most likely would be open I think
+Nate Dawg
That seems the most logical and likely scenario.
Or they could make the trail go from behind the restaurant
True True
Curious to see how they handle StarTours. Wonder if they are considering a re-theme to a more generic space travel experience and remove SW characters?
I just hate that it's so far from tomorrowland...it seems awkward but I guess they had no choice with where they had space available. /:
Anyone can draw a map, how do we know this is really representative of the real plan? What's the source for the map info (outside of MiceChat)?
So I am wondering if they are going to use Fort Wilderness for Fantasmic storage still now that they are going to have a storage area for it near Star Wars Land. If not do you guys think they will re-open Fort Wilderness or maybe do something else with that real estate?
The rendering shows plenty of room for maybe even with the Future Expansion should connect to Toon Town to connect both lands together
agreed
I'm really hoping one of those "villages" is mos eisley spaceport
SOO EXCITED!!! Can we just fast forward time?
This is such a relief. I've been dreading imagining what the future of Disneyland will look like, but this actually looks great. I'm hoping for A LOT of meet and greats in Star Wars Land ;)
My biggest question though is what will happen to Star Tours. Can they possibly move that, or will it stay in Tomorrowland?
it seems like it'll be a pain in the butt to move star tours to star wars land. either rebuilt it and bring the new one OR the original ride back. Either way, it wouldn't bother me at all if star tours stayed in tomorrowland
Woah wait, is that actually what they left the back of the mountains in Cars Land like? Jeez, what were they thinking?
I just don't like the shortening of ROA and I wish they would fix Fort Wilderness. My favorite place to play as a kid!
I wonder if they will move Star Tours to SWLand and put something Marvel related where Star Tours is now.
I like the idea of the new land, I just wish it wasn't based on such a static idea as a single property. Anything they build there HAS to be Star Wars related. It will be the first land in Disneyland to be completely reliant on one idea. Ah well, it will probably be beautiful nonetheless.

Personally, I'd hate to see it go
By the way Dave, fort wilderness is still on the map. I think this proves that at the present time fort wilderness is safe.
FRESH BAKED!
Star Wars + Critter Country = Ewoks
Maybe they'll grace the trail between the 2 lands lol...
YAAAAASSSS
Is there a opening date for Star Wars land yet?
I assume the green path is the new path for the train tracks and I see a future problem with this, Historically every time Disney had made any changes to the train its led to big problems this is due to them being very old and "accustomed" to no changes, meaning for decades the train track path has always been just wide sweeping turns always to the right only now they have rather sharper turns both left and right which will put more stress on the train parts than they have ever ever been exposed to ill be very surprised if there wont be problems or breakdowns due to this.
Ugh! I really hope it's NOT a roller coaster. That's been the biggest downside of the Harry Potter lands at Universal is that most of their rides are mostly that. At least Gringott's is well done though.
When do you think we will get the train back?
Most impressive!
the first time ever the Disneyland Railroad will make a left turn
i would have loved to see that dispera
it's like a another disney theme park more than disneyland.
Oooooh yeah... fingers crossed this is all right...
Is there like 1 blog where all the new information about Star Wars Land will be on? And is there gonna be a Star Wars Land in california only?
+Alyssia Rijs Disney Hollywood Studios in Orlando will also get a Star Wars-themed land.
Lol the railroad finally turns left
Great video!
Well, I'm not as worried anymore, but I'm still surely sad about meh goats. 😢
future expansion area does that mean more to star wars land or another land humm
I don't see why there would be another simulator I mean there's already star tours what next?
I'm hoping for something similar to the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride system myself!
You mean the ride vehicles being on those big robot arms?
I bet that huge attraction will be like escape from Gringotts and Indiana jones
So does all this apply to the WDW Star Wars land coming to Hollywood Studios? Does anyone know if the Disneyland and Disney World Star Wars lands are going to be identical or kind of different from each other?
+Caleb Mills completely different layouts and locations. This is for Disneyland only.
They should make a Death Star ride
That dark brown looks like rock .
Was Toontown on the chopping block too?
+Steven Saito at one point, yes. But no longer.
Did they change their intro music? :( :(
Also something else fellow muffins thos that have been to knotts berry farm they have holding stations for when the train is going thew and offiasly guests don't get ran over.could that happen here? Or will the train in disneyland be elated over the paths to star wars land.
+Daniel Mota I would think they would do like they did near IASW, a path that goes under the track.
When is Star Wars land 'supposed' to be finished? I know they haven't even started it but I'm assuming it'll take a year and a half it not more
I thought they had said sometime in 2018 but I'm not 100% on that
+Zelda Theorist I'm sure your dad is on the crew. but there is NO way that is possible.
***** You do know it's 2016 already, right? Haha. They have barely publicized the sketches
At 1:31 - is it a walkway or a possible train track?
+Maynke GAH! Never mind, I figured out the bit you were referring to. I'm getting all ahead of myself in my excitement for this :D
So no return of fort wilderness?
+DisneyFan421 JC It may actually re-open. They are moving the Fantasmic stuff to the other side of the river, so they do not need the fort. I hope they do open it.
+Jorge Miguel Fingers crossed!!
