Today is the date of the D23 Expo in Japan.  Here are some of the stories coming out of there via the Disney Parks Blog:

All in all, it is pretty underwhelming - it is basically what we knew from D23 Expo last year with the addition of a few new re-theming of attractions in Paris.  No third park announcement for Tokyo or details on the Avengers land in DCA or anything like that.  Guess we'll need to wait until next year in Anaheim!

The "Every resort window will also have a view into space." part of the Star wars hotel is interesting, does that mean that there will be no windows looking outside so as not to break the immersion? 

Marvel themeing certainly seems to be the go.
