But with live puppeteers/muppets perhaps???

No. In the concept art, half of liberty square is missing. Looks like a new parade route and land entrance

Do they believe Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge failed because it was too hard to find/get to?
Is that why they’re choosing to build Cars front and center?

Just wanted to say I love this idea! Not going to happen but it would actually be a perfect fit. Riverboat tourism was once a huge part of Florida's early history, at roughly the same era as the Grand Floridian.
Anyway, back to discussing WDI's newest travesty...

It's not missing. It is not in the frame. Look at the boat landing building. It's at the very bottom of the art. Look at how far that is from your photo circle.
Plus, the art is rotated more than the Google Maps image.

My knee-jerk reaction is I hate this. I give ZERO about Cars, I haven't even ever seen any of the Cars movies. But I'm 51, I don't have kids and Disney World, Magic Kingdom in particular, is for kids and kids seem to love Cars. I'll miss TSI and RoA, but I can't honestly remember the last time, if ever, I actually rode on the riverboat and in the ~30 days in my life I spent any time in MK, I went to TSI like... 4 times max. I will miss seeing it, though. I will miss the idea of a part of the park being set aside for just being rather than standing in a line. And maybe Cars is good, maybe I oughta watch it.. I've heard Cars 2 is absolute garbage, though, particularly the phrase "Cars 2 makes Cars 3 look like Cars 1" comes to mind. My remaining concern is I don't really think MK should have entire lands dedicated to a single IP. I actually don't like it in general and as neat as Pandora and Batuu are, I think the entire land with one IP is kind of lazy and limiting.

Personally I think that is just an artistic rendition.

I am absolutely devastated about this loss of RoA and TSI. I know that they are low capacity and on valuable real estate, but I feel like Disney keeps insisting that most new attractions need to be an E ticket. Attractions like RoA and TSI and so crucial to the design and flow of a theme park that as they keep removing them, there are going to be less and less things for guests to do when the parks are actually crowded and busy. It is important to have things for guests to do that require little to no wait. Its all part of the experience. This is literally theme park operations 101 but I'm not sure any one at Disney making these decisions has taken that class yet.

Considering the concept art is heavily zoomed in look at LS dock in the concept art. If you zoom in to that level in your picture you wouldn't see all that much of LS either.

Around the top. It’s hard to see because Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is a nondescript green mound with no recognizable silhouette!

HM isn't on the art either. Generally you don't take the time to draw irrelevant parts outside of what you're trying to portray.

Not over yet as in they may not do it, or they will continue to do other stupid things?
Obviously the latter is the likely path…
What were the other proposals now that this won out?

Because the park layouts were different? DL had a park area back there already, they just needed to expand it. There's no way to get guests 'beyond' BTM without substantially changing backstage, the train, possibly the canal, etc.

In the Monsters Inc thread, rumor is Muppets is going to me the next casualty.

Yes it that’s normally blank or kinda vague. This appears to be a clear, new path. Hope I’m wrong and you’re right.
No, GE at DL failed to draw crowds because Bob didn't tweet that it was open. Millions and millions are still waiting for it so they can plan their trips.

It’s not even nostalgia. It’s the views they’re eliminating.
They’re doing the worst of both worlds.
