The Tomorrowland expansion was so far along halting it didn’t make sense. Same with Treasure/Discovery Island. But the gas crisis killed the last hopes for Western River Expedition, not to mention the Venetian, Persian and Mediterranean resorts. It also sharply curtailed LBV. Memories of the downturn later played a big role in why the Pre-Eisner board didn’t want to build hotels near Epcot. Until 9/11 it was probably the biggest disrupter for WDI‘s plans (well after Walt’s death, anyway). Not that I’m downplaying EuroDisneyland’s fallout. I’m not.
