Almost. Close enough and better than the current 3rd track exit.

Don't forget about the recession coming which will push everything back 10 years.

Pond is getting filled in as we speak.

That would surprise me if true since none of the permits filed with the South Florida Water Management District show it being removed.

On the topic of TSMM...
I've recently learned that the Mr. Potato Head animatronic has been missing from the queue. Any word on if he will be returning? I honestly don't understand why he's been gone for so long, and I find it concerning that he's been replaced by a pretty permanent-looking mural.
He's really the life and energy of that room. Do these people not look tired and bored?

So I had nothing better to do tonight so I studied the available documentation on that pond (actually a canal). When the park was first built the canal went all the way through the backlot area, under Studio Dr, into the pond on the other side of the road and the water from there eventually went into the drainage canal around the park.
When LMA was built, a large part of the canal was eliminated, but an underground canal was built to carry the water to the same place as it originally went.
In this rare aerial image of the LMA construction (found here at WDWMagic) you can see the faint image of the underground canal, I have marked it in yellow.
The current permits show the pond that the canal drains into being removed along with the wetlands around it, but a new drainage pipe will be installed to carry the water to the canal.

Even though it's being removed it's not actually being "removed" if that makes sense. They are just routing the water that runs to that canal through drainage pipes to all allow that land to be usable. It will be noticeable when the next aerials come out.

Maybe he'll be 'dressed up' a bit and hanging out in the transition area between TSL and SWL?

Toy Story 4 moves up to 2019, Incredibles 2 now 2018. Interesting, since it's been speculated that synergy between the two was somehow involved in decisions with the TS stuff.

I really don't think there is a concerted effort to alight movie and theme park openings. They are both very complex projects governed by a lot of different variables, so I don't think it would be worth all the effort just for a relatively small marketing gain.

Episode 8 & 9 will be out before SWL is done

Well obviously there's probably a lot behind the scenes into this decision that we don't know of, but it's been speculated a bit on here that there could have been some sort of connection between the projects somehow. The two definitely aren't ignoring each other.
Edited original post to explain what I meant a bit clearer

Plus it proves Disney won't force through projects before they are ready. For example the delay of TFA seems to have been a good choice.

Yes, but I am talking about having a movie open within a very short time before or after a new land opens.

Incorrect just episode 8 episode 9 is may 2019. And Swl should be open by then on both coasts
