Nothing was confirm other than Cars first, Villains after. But we don't know how much if any the building will overlap.

The tone of this big splashy announcement sounds suspiciously like damage control.
Although some of today's details do seem more positive than what was initially revealed, desperately pleading "I swear, it's not as bad as it sounds!" doesn't inspire confidence.
They may be able to slightly minimize the harm done to the overall park experience, but they clearly know it's a bad idea from its very core. That this strain is so clearly visible in the fluffy press release is an indictment of the whole decision-making process.

As long as they blow that whistle every 10 minutes. Maybe they think it would be a sad reminder of having a boat that moved around the river that guests could actually ride? I could see how it could make some sense to not include the docked riverboat initially and then bring it back years later where people will just be happy to see it again.

Can't wait for that day in the future when I can walk around this area with the amazing waterfall and lush greens that make it feel like a national park. I truly believe a lot of people will be admitting they were wrong once this opens and we all see it in person.

No. Construction on Villains will begin long before Cars is finished.

I never rode the River Boat- guess I never will. Pretty sure this new attraction sounds way better than a boring old River Boat anyway...

The vibes around Mansion are probably taking the biggest hit. No river or water features there. Just a big wide open path to BTMRR.

Sorry to hear this dude! You’ve had this trip booked for a while too. I’d take comfort in the fact that at least you won’t have any construction walls up around the river.

Again, where was that confirmed? That's not how construction across 2 adjacent plots of land would or should ever work. There will be overlap in construction for sure.

I don't think it's fair to look at this like a "this ride" vs "that ride" thing
The Liberty Belle was an absolutely amazing attraction and I always loved going on. It's akin to sitting on the train and going around the park. It had it's purpose and it served it well with amazing things to see along the Rivers of America.

I sure hope you are right. But, we cannot forget that Disney has failed to deliver on concept art on more than one occasion. As long as it is delivered as pictured, it at least softens the blow to me, although regardless I think it's a shame to lose an all ages attraction for another lightning lane sell generating one.

Someone please tell me they're saving Liberty Belle and doing something with it at WDW.

Personally I think this looks great, and the walking path from big thunder to mansion is well worth all this construction alone. The expanded water features in this concept art are a huge plus to this project, and this can really turn out to be a great addition. I might be in the minority, but I'm glad they're getting started on this sooner than later. Disney has announced way too many projects for shovels to be idle this long, I'm ready to see dirt moving.
I think it's very interesting that the Liberty Belle dock is still visible in this new concept art. With the added river bank and the discussions that they're trying to find a way to keep it, I wouldn't be surprised if the Belle lives on in some capacity. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up docked behind that grey mountain by Tiana's and turned into a meet and greet for her and Naveen.

Looks like some elements of TSI are being incorporated. Walking paths, barrel bridge, etc. I wonder if they’ll incorporate any caves or areas for kids to run into.

Yep.

People also have to keep in mind, the area that is shown in that concept art is MUCH smaller than it is being portrayed.
