Over at Jim Hill (yes, I know, his info is often umm....spotty, at best) there's a nonetheless intriguing post:

Walt Disney Imagineering is a division of the company that's pretty good about keeping its secrets (I mean, how many people outside of WDI upper management know about that super-secret meeting that Disney execs had with members of the Anaheim City Council earlier this month? Where -- after signing a raft of non-disclosure agreements -- these Anaheim officials were then shown Disney's ambitious new expansion plans for the Disneyland Resort?)

That's all that he says, although someone in the comments has some further info (nothing particularly new, though...)

The tidbit, such as it is, is that the Third Park (if it ever happens) will be located on the strawberry field (http://www.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=1313+S+Harbor+Blvd,+Anaheim,+CA+92802&sll=33.72691,-117.919006&sspn=0.008745,0.021458&layer=&ie=UTF8&z=16&ll=33.799602,-117.912784&spn=0.008737,0.021458&t=h&om=1) on Harbor between Katella and Orangewood. This is not exactly new.

The rumblings around the internet are much more specific now as new hotel rumors are flying, PP may be flattened, etc. I think Disney is moving faster on the expansion than we all know. They apparently have a huge amount of money that needs to be reinvested and the 50th has proven how viable the old Disneyland Resort is. Rumors of competition parks being built in Garden Grove I'm sure has put the third park in a better light.

Actually, the line was "ambitious new expansion plans for DLR" -- and it is listed on the Anaheim Garden Walk website as "Disney's newly announced Third Park"

That seems new to me.
