Hope they plan on building a whole other gate to accommodate all the additional rooms they're building, lol.

New rooms don’t increase attendance.

The reason they are building this is to SELL MORE DVCs!!!
But then they can also say they "expanded" WDW,

Yes. To sell more DVC. But that does not translate to increase attendance. And even at full occupancy this resort doesn’t make a dent in park capacity

Totally agree, but by adding this resort they can falsely say they “added capacity” to the WDW resort, as in more rooms, not in attractions (the only thing that counts in my mind)

There are currently 12 new attractions coming to WDW. While a couple are replacements and one basically a reopening, most are a net gain on attraction capacity.

What are the 9 that we want to consider as new?

All 12 are new. 8 of them are capacity increases

Looking forward to the 8 that increase capacity whatever they are.

How many of those 8 are actually set-in-stone absolutely happening?

Nothing is ever set in stone until it actually opens. But currently there is no reason to doubt any of them.

 

[HauntedPirate]

Whether or not attractions and rides are built in the parks is not pertinent to this thread.

Excellent point.

We never know what we will end up with till after the "successful expansion" of WDW is completed, many, many years from now after all the cuts, cancellations, changes are made.

Please see Epcot for reference of planned vs reality.

attractions cost money to build and maintain DVC cost nothing and make money year after year and money is all Disney is interested in
