Rumors on land identified for a 5th gate at WDW

I love the idea of a new park. I'm not one that's a fan of one idea for a whole park, even though Pixar is probably a really good idea for this, since the IP is so varied. I like a park to have "something for everyone", which is why I always push back on a full Star Wars or Marvel park. Some people, it just isn't their jam. Pixar could work really well.

I saw this as well and thought the land in question seemed like a good possible location for a park. It would be possible to extend the Skyliner from the Animation/POP station that sits to the north of this area as well as link the All Stars to the Skyliner. As for what they would put in this park if true, who knows. But hope it's a mix of IP and not a dedicated IP park. I highly doubt WDW would put all their eggs in one basket and do a fully dedicated park to one specific IP IE. Pixar or theme IE. Superhero.

It would seem that the new Villains land would have been better served as a land in a new park instead of being shoehorned into MK as they seem to be doing now. This makes me question this rumor.

We so need a 5th gate. They keep building hotels with nowhere else for them to spend their days. Yes, theres a lot of things to do at the resorts and outside the parks but we need another park. Its been too long and too many people with all these hotels.

It would be great to have something really new and exciting to compete with Epic Universe as well.

Love the idea of a 5th park. My hope is for Disney to do something else with the expansion at MK and make a whole Villains theme park.

There's a huge chunk of land across from the MK parking lot that's on the other side of the monorail and theres also another across from the Epcot enterance. That could be a location for it, especially once Lakeshore Lodge opens and then how challenging the cabins have been to sell this could be an appealing approach to try and sell those on the backs of a new gate location.

Also, do we really need 2 water parks?

With how far they’ve gone I’m not sure it’s possible, but this is 100 percent the right way to go. A full villains park gives the so much flexibility and possible directions. I’d even be ok if they scrapped the new MK land and added to Epcot instead. I feel like Epcot needs attractions more.

There is actually an approval with the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (Formerly Reedy Creek) to build a 3rd water park in the current land use plan. It doesn't mean they will build a 3rd, but the possibility is open for a 3rd.

I would definitely love to see an announcement sometime soon about a 5th gate. Especially since I am getting older and I would love to see it happen within my lifetime LOL

A fifth gate is key to Disney’s long term growth and visitor satisfaction. Wait times are so much higher today compared to ten years ago, and guests shouldn’t have to pay for costly premier passes in order to enjoy a full array of attractions. Another park will disperse crowds and help DVC attract new buyers to resorts.

A park that showcases popular IP (Stitch ride, Moana ride, etc.) would maintain variety, appeal and give Disney the ability to make changes in future.
