Pleasure Island from Pinocchio is carnival like. But I doubt that would be it. Not too crazy with the idea of a circus theme, if that is truly what they are going for. I'm sure they can do it well, but if there is any truth to this line of thinking, I would hope it is not just circus tents. I could see though a circus theme and then some type of large circus area for perhaps a theater/show and meet and greets (although that is kind of what they already have with Mickey's Toontown fair tents)
The only thing that I could make a stretch to would be a Pinnochio themed area.

They're still not 100% on anything but here's a rundown of what I've gathered so far...
The Tea Cups are getting a new roof to pull together the circus theme of Dumbo's mini-land.
Dumbo's mini-land will be east of the Tea Cups.
The Barnstormer is being rethemed to fit Dumboland along with the Casey Jr. food cart to the north of Barnstormer.
The remainder of FLE East where Dumbo WAS on the blueprints is up in the air but it is something that Juan and Lee are not too keen on and it's not a new ride.
Cindy Chateau is gone and replacing it will be, more than likely, a ride that will make us forget about FLE East's shortcomings.
No one is exactly sure what the FLE West addition will be though in place of the Chateau. Except maybe Juan.

There's the Gran Fiesta with the Three Caballeros over in Mexico in Epcot but I don't think that would be it.

I'm sure he'll correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the thing that is currently represented in the park is the mystery ride in FLE west. Not anything in FLE east, 'cause not much else is going over there.

At least I'm warm.. thanks LEE.. I won't pester you any more tonight.
Man, to think I was joking about Festival of Fools, but, in a way, it fits...

Thank you to all whom helped me out on getting this!
I'm thinking that the entire eastern pad will be Dumbo and the area in which Cindy and Aurora were, would probably be the Mine Coaster. If not, some ride.

Seems like it would be a very large area for a whole Dumbo land with just two spinners and a rethemed coaster. Although I suppose Toontown right now isn't that big.
Do you get the feeling this area will have enough little details to make it nice or will it come across cheap and tacky? Totally understand if you don't have the details enough to answer.
I imagine that they could or even should include a nice water play area and/or playground like area as part of that expansion. Seems like that is still one thing that is missing and something we will lose with Donald's boat and Pooh's Playful spot being removed. I know its nice for parents to have a place where the kids can just run off some steam. With that, plus perhaps a spot for the ousted Princesses to meet and greet, could fill out that area nicely I suppose. Hot, Warm, cold, get out of town wrong with that idea?
I would really hate to see midway games similar to the C&H area at DAK.

And if they charge for each game they're making out like bandits because you're at their mercy while you wait to ride Dumbo.

Didn't even think of that. This would be terrible, especially in the flagship park of the resort to have. Its bad enough they are at AK, but at least it sort of makes sense for that area (although sometimes I get the feeling Dinorama was built with the mindset of creating an area where Midway games could go).

Just had an off-topic thought...which would be more profitable, midway games or food and beverage? When I walk through parts of the Disney parks that have midway/carnival games, the places are close to empty, but if you look at any F&B location on a given day, there's always some sort of line. Do the costs of running a F&B location decrease the margin of revenue to the point where carnival games would make an area more profitable?

So pretty much this is all we know for sure of? (Well atleast everyone except juan and maybe other insiders)
