Well, Disney just bought more property in Anaheim. My guess is they're going to get rid of ToonTown and move their backstage/backlot and production facilities "off-site" to make room.

It's rumored that it's going in the area north/northwest of Frontierland.

Perfect. Now that my girlfriend wants to drag me to Harry Potter world, I can drag her to this.

Shanghai Disney details (more in depth)
More details for SW in the parks
More details on new restaurant in MK
Frontierland Expansion in MK (maybe?)
Avatarland in AK ride details
New name for Disney Hollywood Studios (speculative)
Pixar expansion at DHS (maybe?)
Details on Soarin expansion at Epcot. new theater, new film
Details on Frozen ride at Epcot

Yeah, but they'll probably make that back this December with money from The Force Awakens and toy sales.

None of these had livestreams, although some of the previous panels had live blogs.
EDIT: Panel is starting. Permanecer sentados por favor.

Wow, Disneyland just became cooler.
Haven't been there for a decade or two.

It's over. Disney has won. They won.
As a kid that grew up in SoCal and cut my teeth going to the park, this was a dream once Star Tours launched. I remember as a kid, I wanted TomorrowLand to become Star Wars land actually, with Space Mountain becoming a SW speeder ride.
This is a great fucking day.

I hope for the employees of the Cantina they don't play that one song on loop the entire day, those poor employees might go insane.

That Star Wars land area is likely but not confirmed. I'm not sure if they'd try to do Marvel land at the same time.
EDIT: Star Tours will be updated with elements from Episode VII. Launch Bay is also confirmed for California and Florida.

Haven't been to a theme park since I was a wee lad, this will definitely change that.

Still an amazing deal. It's going to be bringing in a billion per year at least when you consider the movies and all the merchandise and things like the TV series. All the hype could bring in $4 billion by the end of next year off the back of two movies.
Plus it included all Lucasfilm's other properties, like Indiana Jones, which is worth a fair amount on its own.

It was a amusing idea, that they overdid it a bit through, like showing off stan lee's movie cameos which meh was that really needed for this panel?
Also Disney Shanghai sounds pretty neat.

Is that the Falcon going in to strafe all the visitors.

I hope the Millennium Falcon has a random chance of having it break down in the middle of the ride, followed by a sense of turbulence and the sound of TIE Fighters shooting it
That'd be rad
Kids like Jar Jar :v

My heart goes out to whoever buys a non-park hopper ticket to Hollywood Studios. Construction on Toy Story Land should have started like, yesterday, with an opening date of no later than early 2017.
