Is this for TDL or DL? I saw a video on it earlier that didn't specify what park it was from.

It was for TDL. You can see they've marked the IASW show building beside the planned Pooh Corner.

The dead giveaway that this was for TDL - and I knew this well before watching the video it was brought up in - is that everything aligns almost perfectly with how they're placed on this layout of a hypothetical renovation of their Fantasyland from around the same time (dating it as being from circa 1997):
Additionally, the land next to DL's "small world" is occupied by the Monorail shed, and moving it to make room for this area wouldn't have been very practical.

From what I heard from a source, TDR is about to be more aggressive with its new offerings starting with fantasy springs.

I wonder if a new port for TDS (on the land beside Lost River Delta) would be too soon after Fantasy Springs.

I’d assume it’s probably something for land, beauty and the beast is really the only expansion TDL has got in terms of increasing its overall footprint and while the expansion is gorgeous it’s basically just making a generic thoroughfare into a sub land with a great ride
Neither park really has much space left, land could eat the car park but that’s about it, I’d imagine that’s likely what’s it would be, the Japanese are too rigid on their love of the park in its existing form for it to be a massive overhaul that doesn’t change the current footprint

I believe TDS has 3 possible expansion areas left before they need to repurpose existing attractions. The main expansion pad (which was earmarked for a new port before Fantasy Springs), the spot behind Ariel's Grotto with one of the CEPs, and the bus parking lot by the entrance. Without removing existing attractions, TDL seems to have just the car park left unless they relocate some of the backstage office buildings. I believe that was part of the rumors involving balloon testing behind the Rivers of America.

At that point would a Splash redo even be culturally relevant? TDR has made their stance on the retheme clear, for the time being they're not budging.

It would just be a lot of money spent on what would likely be perceived as a downgrade by the fans there. I can't imagine a better-fitting IP for that corner of TDL. The entire aesthetics of Critter Country framing the railroad and the Rivers of America is perfect.

It’s almost like Disney enjoys shrinking their Rivers of America everywhere now.
In Tokyo’s case, Critter Country is already sort of like that new-ish waterfall railroad bridge that looks pretty in Anaheim.
Magic Kingdom doesn’t have anything like that at the moment.

When did DL's Shrink???????? Before F! in 1992?

For the construction of Galaxy's Edge, so relatively recently.
So, ROA just shrunk by GE?

They basically shortened it by a third to accommodate GE. It used to be a bit more naturally meandering and extend NE a bit further before turning around, somewhat similar to the ROA layout that's still extant at MK.
The other major GE casualty was Big Thunder Ranch, which housed some minor entertainment/seasonal venues, a BBQ restaurant, and a petting zoo.
Is it related to MARVEL ?From what I heard from a source, TDR is about to be more aggressive with its new offerings starting with fantasy springs.

I know OLC turned down Tiana for the Splash Mountain re-theme, but Princess and the Frog would be a perfect fit in this New Orleans Square section of Adventureland.
