If WDW really does get this built before 2015, I'll laugh hysterically if they try to market this expansion of Animal Kingdom as a "Fifth Park". Until then, Jim Hill needs to either get better WDI sources, or just sit on these rumors until they firm up more. He's got egg on his face from a Night Kingdom souffle that exploded on him.
