Intent that far out in some regards is rather meaningless. This project is not legally temporary so it will be built to be just as permanent as anything. They may not go through the expense of better snd custom work but it will still generally be able to last for a good while. There is also nothing approved yet and there should be a leadership shakeup next year, anything not already in motion will be at serious risk of no longer being a priority.There's no guarantee that it will have a shorter lifespan, but I don't believe Disney intends this to be a permanent solution the way they intended Play! to be a permanent solution. Play! was guaranteed to last a long time because that was always the intent; this isn't.
I certainly don't think this is some kind of major win for DHS, but I don't think it really moves the needle there positively or negatively, whereas I think Play! would have had a long term detrimental effect on EPCOT.
