this seems like something they should have done a long time ago
to avoid the cheer events and other things from affecting park operations
next they should build a swimming pool at wwof, i'm sure it would be super popular with swim teams for training and meets

Or the pro-bowling alley that was rumored to be added about 6-7 years ago (I believe there was to be 100 lanes).

is bowling really that popular anymore?

Well it was supposed to hold the USBC Open Championships every other year or so. Right now they do that in convention centers or the National Bowling Stadium in Reno, Nevada. Holding the tournament at WDW would bring the bowlers families in. That's one thing my Dad always has complained about (he's a big bowler) that the tournament is always in places that they can't make a vacation out of it.

Both good ideas. Not sure what held up the bowling alley, but for whatever reason I'm guessing Disney determined it wasn't worth it.
The amount of cheerleading, dance, school and amateur sports events they handle is quite substantial. Any improvement or growth of the WWOS is good for Disney, Orlando tourism, and the participants.

That too but if you are flying a real drone it's just like flying a small plane and trust me you are too busy to look at the scenery

Got these pics while at a Spring Training game today. The construction site was very active all day.

A lot of work done since I was there in January. Stadium construction always fascinates me.

No. A cheerleading and dance competition arena.

Technically it's a multipurpose arena. It's focus will be cheer and dance but they can use it for many other things.

And Disney has said they plan to host concerts there. Whether that just means Night of Joy or hooking up with Live Nation, who knows.

They are going to make more space for parking right?
One would assume so but I don't have any specifics about this.
