Can someone remind me what Star Wars items they have added to the parks currently?

Is it launch bay, meet and greets, and the nightly fire works? Are they still doing Jedi Knight Training?

They still have the Jedi training yes and of course Star Tours.

Rumors are Phase three is a done deal and looking to be monsters inc.

Star Wars is also being looked at for a second phase as well.

There is also clip movie with a force awakens preview in the sounds dangerous theater and a Watto's grotto shop back where the trams used to unload.

I heard there were new walls near Muppets but can't confirm.

There were walls in front of the old meet and greet and theater area between mama melrose and the car stunt show today.

The stunt show doesn't close until April 2nd I would imagine those walls were for taking down the lights.

I think they're referring to the Premiere Theatre. I don't think that there is anything going on in there since Frozen moved to Superstar Television.

Yes, the stunt show is still open. It's the theater between it and mama melrose that is walled off. There are still some lights up on streets of America but most are removed. That area is open.

Yes - Launch Bay (which includes the meet and greets) and Fireworks, though IDK how long the fireworks are going to go for. They've changed the Jedi training to a slightly different show, but it is still there. It's pretty limited really. It's good if you are a Star Wars fan and already there for a trip, but I certainly wouldn't plan a vacation to see it. (Edit: And Star Tours of course.)

Well there have been permits filed.

Right. I understand that. I'm talking from a PR perspective. It's @lockedoutlogic 's "Trust only the shovels". Have a PR spot with Woody and Buzz showing groundbreaking. I know it's all for show, but get more people realizing that progress is being made - not just "they're closing a bunch of stuff".

Do I need to say it here?

I hear ya...because a set in stone development years away...after another development that hasn't begun construction yet...

...is like an Aaron Rodgers hail

To clarify - the Star Wars rumor is that after SWLand is complete, they then have an expansion already in the gestation stages?

Yup - it's a meaningless rumor. Of COURSE they have idea/concepts sitting in a file that they didn't get to. If SWLand does for Disney what HPLand did for Universal - they could easily want to expand it. However, that is a LONG ways off. (You are talking a decision that wouldn't even be made until 2019 at the earliest - which in terms of businesses might as well be infinitely far away.)

Hey now don't hit where it already hurts. At least we were actually in the game this time around.

I don't know. They certainly could streamline a second phase before they are finished with phase one. Screamscape was reporting a second phase for Disneyland before anyone else was but they are never very credible.

So what you are saying is Disney will ACTUALLY do this yet still manage to LOSE?

Hey Aaron doesn't play defense.

Hey Aaron doesn't play defense.

...and neither do the Packers?

I'm not sure meaningless is accurate, but it's an early enough rumor that it is decidedly a pencil mark at best. That said, I had wondered if they were leaving gaps in the Star Wars and Toy Story areas that could accommodate future attractions. I'm not 100% clear on what the final footprint will look like and whether there is actual expansion land once complete.

We are really starting to derail but as a major packer fan if it wasn't for our defense we wouldn't have even made it to the playoffs. They were the only thing that played decent in the second half of the season after our offense decided to just tank. I'll always say at least I'm not a lions, bears, or Vikings fan.
