I don't think those would be capacity expansions unless there are major additions that could draw more people.
Anyway, I thought it useful to quote the discussion that spawned this thread:

Confirmed, two ply toilet paper in DHS bathrooms.
Does each square come printed with Bob Iger's likeness? I kid, I kid. Or doo I?

Most on these boards would enjoy using said TP a little too much. I’d make an extra trip to Pecos Bill to ensure full…use…of his likeness.

12B for capacity expansion and 5B for maintenance. Approximately.
And those are still very big numbers. We’re talking a park and half worth of stuff over a decade and all of their ancillary pet resort projects. I’m expecting a pace that’s about 50% more for WDW than what we got from 2013-2023. Which was about ‘4 lands’ worth of stuff’ and a lot of money fed into needed improvements.
We’ve heard of maybe half of it, but we’re also talking about things running out to 2033 that aren’t even remotely planned yet. How it’s ultimately perceived likely comes down to hopefully less replacements this investment cycle.

Perfect. That’ll be 12.5$ in maintenance fees a point and you are allowed one dog and 3 children, who might be animal adjacent.
If you’ll just sign here, I’ll get you 300 points.

How does Villains fit into Hollywood Studios other than it being aimed more at an older audience?

Because Hollywood Studios is now their "this has to go somewhere" park.

There were champions of the MK project who forced a quick pivot in an attempt to save the concept.
Hopefully the art makes it into books in a decade or so. Maybe a D+ exclusive doc?
So what you’re saying is Villains is dead in either park?

From what I can tell, the outlook isn't good.
It’s amazing how the idea that got the literal largest response outside of Star Wars at a D23 - something that would be an absolute home run if they did it correctly - keeps getting tabled/killed.
Well, they tactically retreated from dinosaurs altogether after the guys across town had a much stronger grasp on the marketable IP. Maybe they figure villains - what with Universal Monsters, HHN, and the new Vegas thing - is going to be a core competency of Universal.
Different breed. Universal monsters don't sing.

Iger did mention wanting to use current IP (and specifically said that no IP or old IP wasn't a worthwhile investment), and a Villains land would almost by necessity rely on older IP. Disney doesn't really have many (any?) memorable villains that would work well in a villains land from this century; they'd likely need to go Renaissance and/or older. I guess the remakes help to an extent, but they're generally not leveraging the live action version of films in the parks (thankfully, IMO).
I doubt that's the main reason it's not happening, but it might be a factor.
