Yeah Bob, it could help to spread out the crowds in DL.
Actually, there is a lot of "real estate" in DL that is going to waste right now. Big Thunder Ranch area, the Skyway terminals in Tomorrowland and Fantasyland, the Submarine Lagoon is a HUGE untapped area, the old Motorboat Cruise lagoon over by Autopia has been empty for years, Rocket Rods ride area (old Peoplemover), America the Beautiful Circlevision Theater in Tomorrowland, Space Place Food Court area back behind Space Mountain, etc.
Now things have come and gone at DL since the beginning but what's happening lately is that things are going but the ain't coming. Rides, restaurants and shows are being closed and NOTHING is going in their places. That's why these areas are all empty. They were simply closed to save money. I still hold to the opinion that you get less in DL now then you did 10 years ago.
