Looks the same to me??? Too bad that couldn't be used in whatever is coming in that area or is that where TSL is going to end up?it does have me scratching my head. Are they redoing the plans for the area and going with a bigger SWL ? Puzzling to put it in a nice way........

They want every park save for DAK to become Magic Kingdom it seems.

EPCOT would be easy to achieve that goal. All of the infrastructure is already there ready for the billion dollar make over.

Nah they want to have DHS to be the park you want to visit after MK, hence MK 2.0 ...
They actually to recognise internally that DAK and Epcot are their own concepts.

If they don't be careful Epcot will accidentally fall into being like an MK-characterized park though is what I mean.
They need to really think it through when re-imagining Epcot for a Future World makeover and make sure they are being faithful to the original concept.

How much presence does Disney have at the Shanghai site? I mean, I know 90% (or more) of the construction team are locals, but does Disney control a lot of the construction oversite internally? Might a lot of their focus be in getting Shanghai open for June, then we'll see the US projects really start to take off? Or is that theory completely impossible?

I don't know the answer to the main question, but I can't see how this would hold things up since the initial work, demo, site prep, etc wouldn't need much involvement from Imagineering. Permits have already been filed for the site work so the contractor must have plans for what they need to do.

Well, it seems likely that part of Shanghai will not be open in June and will continue to be worked on after that the official opening of the park.

Any chance that Disney execs are purists and wouldn't want any of the other parks to ever be "better" than the signature Magic Kingdom?

Disney still controls the art direction but that sort of final installation work doesn't mean anything to early construction. Actual, legal construction administration is handled by the architect who must be registered in the local jurisdiction and is usually with a firm contracted by Disney.
