Yesterday, with great sadness many attractions around Disneyland's Big Thunder Ranch and Rivers of America closed to make way for Star Wars Land. Today, it was revealed that when Rivers of America when it reopens will be revamped with the north bank having a brand new waterfront. This concept art was released by Disney Imagineering:
In the artist's rendering along with the brand new waterfront you can see where the Disneyland Railroad will travel over an elevated trestle. In a press release, Disneyland confirmed that Mark Twain's Riverboat, Sailing Ship Columbia, and Pirate's Lair will all return when Rivers of America reopens. "The Mark Twain Riverboat and Sailing Ship Columbia operate along the Rivers of America. Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island - a mysterious place rumored to have hidden treasure - is surrounded by the river."
One item left off the list was the famous canoes that traveled Rivers of America for what might be the final time yesterday. When asked the Disneyland representative had no answers on if they would be returning. Stay tuned as more details on the expansions at both Disneyland and Hollywood Studios are just beginning.

Princess Leia Set to Appear on Upcoming Episode of "Star Wars Rebels":
The second season of "Star Wars Rebels" will return next Wednesday, January 20th at 9/8c on Disney XD. When the show returns, Star Wars fans will see a familiar face of one of iconic characters in the saga in Princess Leia, who is just a teen during this timeline, is sent to Lothal, in the episode called, "A Princess in Lothal."
Executive producer Dave Filoni said, "We thought we had an opportunity to show her learning to be a leader, experimenting with the personality that becomes the stronger more resolute character you see in A New Hope. One of the complex challenges of depicting Leia in 'Rebels' is that we have to remind the audience that at this point she is part of the Empire. She doesn't believe in the empire, but she's acting the part, almost a double agent."
Right now this will be the only appearance for Princess Leia as it is unknown yet if she will be seen again on the show. Princess Leia will not be voiced by Carrie Fisher instead it will be Julie Dolan, who has voiced Leia before in the video game, Star Wars: Uprising.
Will you be tuning in for the return of "Star Wars Rebels" and watch a young Princess Leia?
