Without BTMRR Frontierland is a paper thin land at best. And an anachronism for the MK. Though it works at Disneyland given the parks founder and when it opened. Disney emphasized the western genre and the 1950's were the heyday of Western themed amusement parks. Of course Disneyland improved on the concept.
Moving the existing components to the "Wilderness Resorts " could satisfy the needs of that resort by providing guests a mini entertainment zone. This wouldn't include moving Splash Mountain of course as it has nothing to do with frontier America.
If I was armchair imagineering the replacement of Frontierland I would do this....
Move the train station north to the undeveloped expansion pad.
Convert the existing train station pad and Splash Mountain into Critter Country. Disney is pushing a new Disney animal line similar to Pixars Cars and Disney Princesses.
Redesign everything from the Diamond Horseshoe to Pecos Bill into "New Orleans Street" featuring restaurants and attractions inspired by PatF. Move the riverboat down to this area.
Add something like Discovery Bay on the northern expansion pad including the new train depot. Access to this land is by train or walking path beside Big Thunder.
I'd give up the CBJ inside the MK for all that in a second.
IMO.

Parts of the South were also part of the American frontier. “Frontier” is not a synonym for Western, although a majority of the West was part of the American frontier. The settlers were pushing westward, but also pushing southward claiming territory during the 1800s.
Tokyo, as I understand it, calls theirs Westernland, because they have no word for frontier, so I can see an argument for keeping theirs “Western themed”, but I really don’t see any glaring problems with Magic Kingdom’s.

Except that somehow the "south" has materialized in theming that is clearly based west of the great plains.

I don't like the idea that only Disneyland is the untouchable park and that Magic Kingdom can just be messed around with because it's not "Walt's park".
The Magic Kingdom's Frontierland is just as historical as Disneyland's Frontierland.

This is such a first. Actual public full blog posts, not just email replies to individuals... dispelling rumours. Amazing.

Not that I trust Disney, but that post sounds much more committed to the current show than the one about the Birdies.

Sounds like the site which cannot be named is trying to take credit for Country Bears not getting this make over...
"We thank all of you who wrote in to voice your love and nostalgia for the Country Bears and helped to Save the Jamboree!"

The Disney Parks Blog has completely destroyed Tom Corless’ credibility 
(if he ever had any).
Not that that is stopping him from taking credit for “saving” the Country Bears - his credibility may be in the toilet but his audacity is almost admirable.

When The Site Which Cannot Be Named refers to WDWMagic, do they call it "The Site That Calls This The Site Which Cannot Be Named?"

Yeah...I saw a tweet from them trying to spin the story that way. Such a joke
No, they refer to it as "our sources".
