Interesting tidbit...

[Next Big Thing]

From the WDW 40th press release about DTD. Read the excerpt yourself:

In coming years, Downtown Disney will transform into a waterfront district with a modern twist on an early 20th century port city and amusement pier. The vibrant district will expand dining options by 25 percent and invite guests to explore stylish new boutiques and a lakeside park. A new shopping, dining and lodging district is slated to rise just outside Disney’s western gateway

Just thought that was kind of interesting. That's really the first thing Disney has officially said concerning DTD since Hyperion Wharf.
