This is what I was thinking. It doesn't necessarily mean more people in the parks. Disney has sort of discovered that they have a limited number of deluxe guests - which is why they have converted a lot of their deluxe hotel rooms to DVC rooms - so I think they are mostly looking at DVC offerings.
Coronado Tower - Expands moderate offerings to make up for the ones taken out from CBR. (See next line.)
Riviera - They actually took OUT 600 moderate rooms (9 building with 64 rooms each = 576 rooms) and replacing them with rumored to be about the same number of rooms (600) though some will hold 8.
Star Wars Resort - I think this isn't relative to the expansion of the people on site. This will be a 2 night style specialty resort with likely a very limited number of rooms (50 - 100 probably?).
Epcot Resort - Little is known yet - though I think it's more likely to be a Deluxe/DVC resort than anything else. Too early to tell. Probably a limited number of rooms, though.
Ft. Wilderness site - Again likely a DVC location if this even happens.
What's odd is that this discussion has been going on since I joined the boards in 2006. "At some point Disney will pay for their greed." So far they've only paid by increasing profits and attendance. They keep adding more very expensive extras and people flock to them. And this isn't with them yet opening the most anticipated thing at WDW probably since Epcot. (I don't remember people being as excited by DAK or DS/MGM when they opened.) So, I stay off the "Disney is going to get bit by treating the guests worse." It keeps happening and we keep coming back.
