I think the line is put in all text now when anything is built that is more than a single ride. I'm actually numb to the statement these days lol

But not retaining any of the water next to the existing guest areas? Why?

The capacity of cars will be much more than tsi and villains land is all new space.

Looks like the Railroad track will be right outside of the one laydown yard. I do have to wonder if they will eventually close the railroad and put in a construction access road to tie this yard to the construction area.

Sadly, it is worse than that. The impediment is a desire to remove what they don't want anymore.

All this talk has made me realize that what I love about WDW truly is not just the rides, but the entire experience of the parks. I love the trees, the water features, and beauty of the parks themselves. One of the reasons I love MK so much is because of areas like ROA where I can sit and stare out over the water and think about life. I bet the majority of "rides, rides, rides" people are fine with this because they view the parks as collection of rides to experience and this gives them more of what they want. But for those of us who view the parks as an escape from the hustle and bustle of the world, this choice hurts.

That said, I am honestly surprised that this stayed a secret (relatively) right up until the day it was announced.

Because that's the view everything that curves around it was designed for.
The Haunted Mansion, the main Frontierland pathway that has only one side,
With the concept art to go by, they'll now be facing what will appear to just be fake undeveloped space at best and visible autonomous SUVs with faces driving around in the distance at worst.
Think about the backside of either SDMT or the Moana walkthrough. Are we expecting a whole lot better here?
They wouldn't even need to keep it a true island to preserve this. The connection to the canal could serve one end and they could have a false bend that hides the other, dock the ferry* and keep most of this area looking exactly as-is with the same look and feel and a perfect already made barrier to what's behind it.
The loss of the fort would be a compromise, as would probably things like the caves (that of course woudln't make everyone happy) but it wouldn't fundamentally upend this entire area of the park and it's not like they didn't do something very much like what I'm talking about for the canal in front of the Castle that they purposefully chose to keep.
This would allow them to add bridges making full use of the Aunt Polly area for money and a walkway around the front face of it that could connect up to everything else.
*put some sort of desert/snack spot and add tables and chairs that could be used for private events, too if it needs to make money for an excuse to exist or find a way to put it in front of tba and do the same but pipe dixieland music from it or even (gasp) have live entertainment playing the music on it on occasion observable from the shoreline.

I have a question for D'Amaro 
Is it because of Encanto moved that you decided to abandon Desert Land knowing Cars wouldn't be accepted if brought in as Cars Land (DCA) further behind Coco.
Did you scrap Coco because Encanto was gone and didn't find Cars with Coco not fit like Encanto together even though both along Big Thunder are easily Desert environment properties? All you had left was Cars so you just turned it Frontier instead of just going Cars Land (DCA) behind Big Thunder?

Not set in stone but not looking good.

So, building inside the berm entirely and we still lose the RR again for an extended period? Great.

So wait, are we back to hoping they DON'T spend money on the parks? I'm sure that's what Wall Street wants.

But this isn’t about Tom Sawyer and the river not being “trendy” it’s about no longer having water and peaceful views in the middle of a busy theme park.

you seem hyper focused on “Tom sawyer island” - this isn’t about the island as an attraction - it’s about the island and rivers telling a story. It’s the mills, the cabins, the riverboat the rafts - it’s a huge piece of theme park Magic.
are we gonna like it or not like it
