Adoption is less costly and helps children in need though. Plus you can get a kid who already is excited about going to Star Wars Land rather than having to instill a desire into teaching a kid to want to go!

OP updated with the additional details about Star Tours, Season of the Force, and Launch Bay.
They mentioned it but didn't give any details. I give me half-credit on that one

I don't think he's really looking to get a kid just for an excuse to go to a theme park attraction
Do people give adults without kids ugly looks at parks or something? Cause fuck em if so, I'm goin lock stock once the SW one opens.
That's no Spaceship Earth.
They recently bought up a chunk of land out to the east a little way. It's too far to be part of the parks, but there's speculation that they're going to move some administration/staff parking out there which should open up some additional space to expand into.
I thought that was his point; the plot of land will integrate the existing Star Wars content somehow.
Mind you, I quite like the Ewok Village queueing area; it'd be a bit of a shame to lose that, but it probably won't fit with the new surroundings; it's designed to look like a film set (the trees just stop!), whereas this seems to be intended to be a fully-integrated environment.

I have the weirdest boner right now.
I give it a week before the staff has devised comebacks to virtually all Star Wars lines.
I pity any poor bastard whose name is actually Luke.

They'll probably run out of Luke plates in record time. Plenty of Loke plates, though...

The movie is okay, but the land looks fantastic. It's going to look really cool both day and night, and it's great that AK will have 2 more rides.

True story - My father actually tried to name me Obi-Wan. Mom shot that down with a quickness.
Imagine two castmembers walking up and sitting on either side of him.
"He doesn't like you. I don't like you either!"
I've had a few encounters with the stormtroopers in Tomorrowland. They were awesome every time.
If the cantina's anything like that Star Trek restaurant they used to have in Vegas in terms of interaction, it'll be a good time. The Klingons and Ferengi there were a hoot.

I have a burning question: is Star Wars Land (Disney World version) an expansion to an existing park or an entirely new gate (park)? The announcement is coy and doesn't quite confirm it at least in IGN. But then they announce Toy Story Land as a clear expansion for Disney Hollywood Stufios.
So what is it then? Is DHS getting two big expansions for Toy Story and SW? Or is Star Wars getting its own theme park?

They officially announced Star Tours would get a Force Awakens update later this year.
The Star Wars Launch Pad TFA exhibit will be installed in Innoventions in Disneyland and the Animation Building in DHS in November/December.
Jedi Training Academy will get a Rebels update.
In early 2016 Space Mountain in both parks will get a seasonal Star Wars overlay called Hyperspace Mountain, Disneyland will have SW entertainment in Tomorrowland and DHS will get Star Wars fireworks.
Awesome, thank you! Going to Disneyland later this year so hopefully I will be able to catch some of the new stuff.
With all these updates it will be a pretty much completely different park.
Yeah. From what I understand it's shorter to list what'll still be around than what they're ultimately replacing.
It's an expansion to DHS.

OMG.
Haven't been to Disneyland in years, time to go back when this drops!

Just change that to a ride where you are the emperor getting thrown into the reactor of death star II.
I used to really like simulator rides. Had some great memories of the old Star Tours trench run. However, it just doesn't do anything for me anymore. Mission to Mars is more fun with its Gs. It feels like they should make the shuttle cab seating arrangement more realistic. Failing that they should rip the roof off and put a dome screen over it. A compact version built into the roof would work too, but leaves less room for practical effects. A combination of video and practical effects would make the ride a lot more fun. A few sparks and fog in the cabin doesn't cut it anymore.

Star Wars Land and Toy Story Land at DHS was rumor to cost 3 billion.
The Radiator Springs ride at DCA alone cost 1 billion. The ride alone.
4 billion for Lucasfilm was a steal.
They will make that back in merchandise alone in 5 years. For fucks sake Cars had made 10 billion in merchandise sales and DVD sales combined. No wonder they are making a 3rd movie. Cars Land in DHS would be amazing as well.

Cantina employees will go mad after hearing the same music 24/7.
Edit: lol, beaten of course.

How is that different from the current Soarin'?
Presumably a different, non-California centric film.

Hold the fuck up. They changed Star Tours?! That ride was part of my childhood.

Well they could tear down 3/4 of California Adventure and replace it with other stuff, and not much of value would be lost. All the cool stuff in DCA, Cars Land aside, takes up like a quarter of the park. The rest is pretty useless.
