the rumor mill is stating that it will, indeed, be a water park...various ideas on theming, but that does seem to be the plan. SoCal may have no shortage of water parks, but disney is still trying to make this more of a resort, with some of Walt Disney World's privaleges...picture a Water Park with volleyball, Water Mice, a wave pool for surfing before hours, miniature golf, etc...that is my idea of what they could do with this, to add some of the wdw amenities, because 80 acres is big for a water park (bigger than DCA...), and I know they have been trying to make this more of a Resort.
