Disneyland 35th Anniversary
A lot has changed at Disneyland since it opened on July 17, 1955, while everything else at the park has stayed the same.

MAIN STREET
Same as it ever was.

TESLA TERRACE
Doc Brown's Chicken, a KFC or Church's of sorts, replaces the Pressure Cooker along Center Street in the blue chunk that reads Waitress Service.
The orange block denoting the Hall of Presidents is home to Tesla Terrace's main draw, Electricity and You, a general history of mankind's relationship with electricity.

FANTASYLAND
Having already received a facelift and a few new rides in 1983, Fantasyland won't need too much work, though the Motor Boat Cruise ride will likely get a retheme or be replaced altogether.

ADVENTURELAND
The Grizzly River Run is rethemed at Rhino Rapids to better fit the Adventureland aesthetics. Both that attraction and the Jungle Cruise will be rerouted to squeeze in the queue for an Indiana Jones attraction slated for Spring 1995.

FRONTIERLAND
No changes since Big Thunder Mountain opened.

TOMORROWLAND
At the former Circarama building sits a preview center for the land's extreme rebrand as Horizon Outpost, an emotional one for many park guests who see this as a sign of Disney admitting they couldn't predict the future.

BEAR COUNTRY
No changes since Moonshine Express opened.

WORLD HOLIDAY LAND
Could face an overhaul once a decision is made on the theming for the expansion to the north and northwest of the park's current boundaries.

On July 17, 1990, NBC aired a two hour special commemorating the park's 35th anniversary, which could be the last of Walt's on screen appearances. Tony Danza serves as the special's host, along with the Muppets, Christopher Lloyd, the cast of Cheers and DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince among the many guest stars. The final minutes of the special gives viewers a glimpse of mockups drawn up by Tony Baxter and his team of what may come the park in the years ahead.

The site of World Holiday Land could be where Port Royal and the expanded Pirates of the Carribean are located. That or Site A. And, like OTL New Orleans Square, could be where the Haunted Mansion is located. It'd be pirate-themed. I like the idea of it looking like the Inn from Blackbeard's Ghost. I like the whole built-from-a-pirate-ship aesthetic.
 
With presumably a certain armadillo as a launch title?
Mighty is SEGA, and I believe the Mega Drive retains it's name in the U.S. The Apex line is Turner's console I believe.

Before I forget, since Disney is embracing this ITTL what're the chances of TTL's 'Pleasure Island' having a version of the Ink-&-Paint Club?
Maybe one of the skits (or a recurring gag in several skits) they perform could be Gaston repeatedly hitting on (and getting comically rejected by) Jessica Rabbit.

Especially if they can incorporate a speakeasy-style password system like the club did in the movie. Maybe there'd be business cards with "password" printed on them.

No one gets rejected like Gaston!

PI is actually known as Hyperion Wharf ITTL. And over there, there is an Ink and Paint Club with a full bar and everything. Also at Hyperion Wharf is a Hooters franchise.
 
Do you think it is possible the success of progress city could inspire some other company to do something simalir. I remember some suggest that that gulf and western build a city of the future over an old ghost town in Nevada and call it Mojave . They all the possibility of donald trump jumping on the progress city band wagon. after all he has a back ground in real estate.

Maybe Elon Musk or a firm from China or the UAE could take a chance, but likely not till the early 2010's.
