I get that that expansion plot will be used eventually. I'm more saying that any expansion outside of the park is not as simple as just expanding. The "blessing of size" argument that keeps being brought up makes it sound like all of Walt Disney World can be used for parks and hotels, when a large part of it has to be reserved for nature (I'm not an expert on the exact wording). When the Tron expansion was being done, the first thing they had to do was sort out the water retention pond being moved

While that's part of it. IMO a lot of the reason they opt for replacement instead of expansion is they want each attraction to have an ROI with LL revenue attached to them.

It seems like expansion (adding and not replacing) should be easier in Florida than California, Tokyo and Paris.

Oh yeah, definitely more than California and Tokyo (Paris has a lot of unused expansion pads because Disney forgets Disneyland Parc exists). It's just that the "blessing of size" came with more caveats than we were expecting, especailly when it came to land suitability etc. Does anyone remember what the area north of the train track was listed as most recently? I want to say it was upgraded from Very unsuitable to unsuitable but might be misremembering? If so, another potential factor in addition to the main one of Cars will have Lightning Lane and Tom Sawyer's Island doesn't have one

The first thing anyone anywhere in Central Florida has to do is water management…

I realize this doesn't answer your question exactly, but I'm pretty sure that none of the unused pads of land around the Magic Kingdom are on land that needs to be conserved:

Not too different from insisting that the utilidors run underneath every square foot of the park even though maps of them say otherwise

More or less than WDW?

DLP as a resort probably has slightly less that WDW. Last expansion was in 1995 with Space Mountain and there is 5 decent sized expansion plots around the park (Between Frontierland & Adventureland, North of Indiana Jones, west of Storybook Land, between Small World and Star Tours & South East of Discoveryland) + Disney Adventure World is being designed with 2 land-sized expansion plots + the whole plot of land reserved for the 3rd park

The main attraction will utilize a trackless all-terrain ride system, marking a shift from traditional slot-car systems seen in other Disney rides. This innovative approach allows for more flexibility in navigating diverse landscapes, enhancing the thrill of racing through the mountains 3 4

Boy, a partially outdoor trackless ride is going to be broken down, just all the time.
