There is an entire board here full of them and a thread that tracks rumors as well as monthly rumor round up articles which I write for wdwinfo.com.
Sorry for asking. :/

Not trying to be rude or anything but there are plenty of places on this site that have all of that information and a lot more.Sorry for asking. :/
I definitely agree abou not wanting or expected eating a ton of new construction walls in DHS for a while

https://www.disboards.com/threads/dhs-construction-update-thread-read-post-1-updated-6-5.3466620/Sorry to waste your time then. Was just curious to know what particular rumors are swirling around Hollywood Studios. Just glancing around I see a 500 page thread about News where the original post is a list of links. One about rumors that was last updated 20 days ago and the only reference to Hollywood Studios is news from 2017. Then any other rumors are based on Star Wars/Hotel and Toy Story Land. I was asking about the rest of Hollywood Studios.
If you don't feel like re-typing or discussing it further here in a thread about the rest of Hollywood Studios, a link would be helpful.
I will take a shot here...but by all means if you have the time, go to the rumor thread that @rteetz has running, if nothing else just the first post on the first page is a great summary.Sorry to waste your time then.

Yeah post 2021 seems like a possibility for further additions. The only scenario we get anything major though is if/when the park is so overpacked that management fast tracks future additions to absorb the crowdsI'd be pretty shocked if Launch Bay wasn't closed by the end of spring 2020. I can understand it not closing before SW:GE opening, but soon after makes sense.
A Star Tours re-theme seems extremely logical and relatively inexpensive, and probably possible for the 50th anniversary if it closes around when SW:GE opens.
I feel like there are a lot of little areas they could work on and improve: I'm sure Pixar Place will be closed off, but it could be redeveloped for shopping or small dining options; Seems like the animation courtyard area will be worked on; and maybe some of the theaters will be updated with new shows or attractions.
Everything east of Echo Lake will need work, but I personally wouldn't put money on major changes to that area until after the 50th at this point.
There is a few rumors on DHS post that. At one point there was a Phase 3 supposed to be added, but that has been cancelled. Instead they are potentially looking at adding one more major ride(one rumor has it as a Pirates of the Carribean shanghai boat ride in a different IP). Also once SW:GE and TSL and MMRR open, there was to be some more sprucing as well, and potentially some new shows in place of Beauty in the Beast and/or Little Mermaid. None of this is confirmed though.
There’s some vague rumors here and there. As a pp mentioned there was a planned phase 3 to the studios that seems to have been scrapped for the time being.Thanks, this is primarily was I was asking about, I'm already aware of TSL, SWGE and the GMR. I was curious about rumors of what happens to the park after that, if there are any rumors to begin with. rteetz seemed to allude to that there were.
There were phases 1-4 but that was with the less ambitious Star Wars land. Things all changed when they went for SWGE.There’s some vague rumors here and there. As a pp mentioned there was a planned phase 3 to the studios that seems to have been scrapped for the time being.
I also remember when Star Wars was supposed to be built out into the current parking lot. How things change eh?There were phases 1-4 but that was with the less ambitious Star Wars land. Things all changed when they went for SWGE.
On that note, I did miss one item stated above. There is a rumor as well that Star tours will get rebooted with a new IP some time after SW:GE opens. Per most insiders that will be over a year or more though.....Thanks, this is primarily was I was asking about, I'm already aware of TSL, SWGE and the GMR.

The muppet courtyard area seems like such a waste. I'd love for the muppets to be more popular, but sadly they are not. I feel like it would be a quick hit to just retheme a 3-d show in some sort of star wars theme. Retain Star Tours. Re-theme pizzarizo which is unfortunate do to the recent remodel. Heck you could turn the area into Endor.
I think they see the muppets as appealing to the youngest kids, but I don't think it does. Our last trip in February of this year, we made our first visit to muppets 3d....mostly just to check off that we've hit that attraction. My wife was miserable, and my 9 year old son was too. He likes carousel of progress and even liked hall of presidents better than the muppets area.
If they are obligated contractually or morally to have a muppets attraction, do something over in the animation courtyard. Muppets is such an outlier from what is going on there, it just doesn't make a lot of sense. I don't think it eats up crowds like it could. Leave the 3d theatre just change the show and theme of the area.
