I feel like it's exactly the opposite of that.

It seems as though the WDW crowd know what's going to happen before Disney announces it (which some speculate will happen at D23), even though there have been no further reports, in the news or elsewhere, about what's going to happen at Disneyland. Yet they are WDW people.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip I don't think that WDW people especially care about what is going to happen at DL... especially concerning Toon Town which WDW's Magic Kingdom does not have. They know that any MAJOR Star Wars impact will happen at the Disney Studios first, so they are likely to discount any Simba Parking Lot tales about a huge Star Wars development at DLR.
Originally Posted By Disneylandfan85 >>They know that any MAJOR Star Wars impact will happen at the Disney Studios first...<< Really? I don't believe I read that on WDWMagic.com. Many think that Star Wars will come to Disneyland first, and that WDW will have to wait, probably until at least after Avatarland, if it happens at all.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip You shouldn't believe WDWMagic.com. Which theme park is half empty at present? Which theme park has a long history of Star Wars Special Events?

They really don't know anything more than you do. They just like to pretend like they do.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip Which theme park desperately needs the greater attendance that a major Star Wars presence might drive? Certainly not Disneyland. Get over your Toontown obsession and just use common sense. Nothing BIG is going to happen in Disneyland. What is being closed at Disneyland with no announced plans for the future? Anything Star Wars at DLR is going to happen in Tomorrowland, and it certainly isn't going to be MASSIVE.

Interior Ghost Galaxy effects and soundtrack tweaked for Star Wars-ish purposes. Astro Orbiter glows away forever; Observatron or new mechanism rebuilt in glory; new vehicles are Star Wars-ish. Red Rocketts becomes a Star Wars universe eatery. Boom--4 Star Wars Attractions (= "Huuuuge presence!!!!!") without 'removing' much of anything. All clumped together nicely. Roll out more in later phases as desired." This is the best and most plausible Star Wars idea for DLR I have seen so far.

I saw the steel going up for the main attraction when I was in WDW in January; there's no way that anything new could be open before that is done, even if they started construction today Even when they're "remodeling" instead of building something from scratch, it still takes a very long time to build things (occasionally longer than it would have taken to demolish the building and start over). Just look at the Maelstrom/Frozen thing, which seems to just be changing out the scenery (with a few other modifications) like the recent TestTrack redo. If that's taking about 18 months to complete, anything new would certainly take at least as long
