If another park were to be created and the other park's attendance went down a bit it may draw more people that prefer smaller crowds. Smaller crowds means easier to maneuver through the parks, faster shorter lines to get food and shorter ride waiting times. This all means more time to ride more rides and e experience more Disney magic. It would increase hotel occupancy for the existing hotels. I see it as a win for everyone involved. After people rave about all that they got to do at each park because of less people would slowly increase the crowd level back to normal if not higher than they are today. People would stay longer leaving less empty hotel rooms.

Just nuke Hollywood Studios completely, and start over from scratch.

Use the half a billion dollars and fix the yeti in Expedition Everest.

I think that a Disney World Snow theme park with giant ski slope dome, and ice rink with many more "ice" and "snow" attractions will be great idea.

After just returning from WDW, I feel there is a real need for a 5th park of any configuration. With all the new resorts that have been added to the property, there is just too many people in the parks for all there is offered. I can't imagine the crowds if it was a busy time. (We were there 1st wk of Feb.)

How about a park called Yesteryear? It would have former rides that were well loved like those sky buckets they had between Fantasy and Tomorrowland and well love parades like the Main Street Electrical Parade. Souvenirs would use that D that had the mouse eared globe inside for the logo. It could also bring back foods that were well loved as well.

A villains theme park? I must have died and went to Disney Heaven! Seriously though, a dark kingdom would be awesome sauce! The villains don't get showcased enough besides the Halloween Party and the special hard ticket events, they of all people should know how the Villains Unleashed turned out that they need more that just a one night and a separate special ticket event. They need an ENTIRE THEME Park! Plus not only would they have rides but they would have meet and greets with some very popular villains that are not always accessible year around. This will take care or everything. I'm serious. This will attract more of the teens and adults that's not too much into the princesses anymore.

The dark kingdom would be such a money maker! They could take a cue from universal and make some sort of transportation from the magic kingdom to the dark side. Maybe being kidnapped by the villians (and have to use a park hopper). It's smart too, your teen and adult crowd would be constant and never outgrow it either! Just look at how well Malificent did, there is definitely a market for the villains!

It's not a full themepark, but WDW does do quite a bit with the villains during the Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Villains Dance party, special character meetings with villains, villains in the Boo-to-You Halloween Parade, and a special version of the nighttime fireworks show (Happy HalloWishes) that features some of the villains. Of course, there's also quite a bit of villain-related merchandise to purchase, as usual.

If you're really into the Disney Villains, you might give that a try sometime. My family did that last October and it was a lot of fun.

I hope WDW's fifth gate will be the exact tecreation of the most beautiful and detailed park ever created by Imagineers...DisneySea!!! And not a scaled down version either, an exact copy for guests who don't want to travel to Tokyo to enjoy!!!

What about a fifth theme park based on Disney Junior for the really young crowd and their parents. I can already think of three ride ideas based off the show Little Einsteins, one being that they're going on an adventure in Rocket (similar to the old Nicktoons ride at Universal, second one being the Pat Pat Rocket ride (similar to the Dumbo ride), and the third one being a boat ride through the Orchestra Ocean (similar to Small World).

The villains park is a great idea but I think the cost is to great to bring big coasters and major thrilling flat rides to the park. Not even counting the theming witch is a Disney staple in my opinion. Can always dream

The dark kingdom sounds exciting, however taking care to update Epcot's Future Worlds and Hollywood Studios might be the best use of funds. I

I'm currently compiling my concept for a new park in wdw. Hint: it's hours of operation are dark until early morning., making wdw a truly a 24 hour entertainment resort. It glorifies the night. I'm thinking Walt Disney's ' World of Color' will attract many guest.

That sounds like an amazing concept! I would visit there!

Dark kingdom would be Incredible.. aimed at older kids/adults w big scary rides that recognize the evil of the villians! More big rides would be incredible and villains to get Picts with would be so cool!! The villains have a large following in the adult world.

Rather than Star Wars expansion they need to bring CARSLAND TO WDW.

Personally, I'd rather they build a Star Wars park than re theme Tomorrowland to Star Wars Land.
