WDW Wants to develop more wetlands than planned - Orlando Sentinel Article

A NEW PARK MUST BE BUILT. NO MORE ROOM FOR GUEST. PARKS VERY OVER CROWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOOD AND WINE IS STARTING ON SOME DAYS RIVAL CHRISTMAS TIME CROWDS. DO CHILDREN GO TO SCHOOL ANYMORE?. No but really I am a once a week visiter and have really noticed over the last 2 years that crowd levels have increase significantly. We all know that more hotels and what seems to be a ton of restaurants @ Disney Springs aren't going to keep long time visitors happy for ever. For me the value is ever shrinking. Now that being said I have always waited in lines since 1981. But those lines are getting longer and longer. There is only maybe 3 full weeks all year that are truly slow. I do believe Disney will answer that 5 gate question some day but i think we are now going to have to wait till DHS is done with its expansion.

The parks are nowhere near close to their designed capacity...

There's many problems with crowds in wdw...but adding a park creates many others without necessarily fixing the original one.

Well one park is close but the other three not so much.

...and that's exactly where the problem is and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to fix it.

Pandora just can't be 47 acres tho. All Aerial images show around 11 acres. Star Wars is being constructed at 14 and is being promoted as the biggest land Disney has built or whatever. 47 acres is close to the size of typhoon lagoon.

Yes, we need to put this to bed, there is no way Avatar is going to suddenly grow to 47 acres, just not going to happen.

As a Disney geek, I'd be thrilled to have a 5th gate. As someone who wants foot traffic to alleviate, I would be thrilled to have a fifth gate. For the life of me, I can't think of something they have now that doesn't slot into the existing gates.

A thrill ride focused park a la Universal.

...and Marvel themed when the contracts permit it.

I'm not opposed to thrill rides, but thrill rides do not a theme make.

...and Marvel themed when the contracts permit it.

Don't start holding your breath.

The contract doesn't have an expiration date so it's likely never going to happen unless universal is willing to give it up or Disney is willing to pay a very hefty price for it.

Perhaps Disney will thing of something to do with their Billion dollar profits from Star Wars movies...

Pocket it.
I'm hoping for more theme park expansions in the future but fifth gate isn't gonna happen anytime soon
