    Beyond that. Those just seem to exist in lands that are dedicated to realism.

    A whole land, (BK!!!) would do that. MysI, too.

    A Bug's Life is the odd man out here, tho I tend to forget it's in the park. But Lion King and Nemo both present animals that behave fairly realistically--no clothes, no walking on two legs, they actually eat one another. Pochiantas fit this mold, as well, arguably the most realistic Disney cartoon animals in years.

    And to pile on Chester & Hester, it's themed to a real-world run-down traveling carnival--not some gleaming idealized version of Coney Island, which would probably have been the case had a similar concept been built in MK. <shudders at the possibility>

    The rumor at issue specifically said a "land." What kind of land does the Club fit?

They may enjoy it, but it seems like there's more to it than that.

    Actually, looking at Google Earth I was also surprise with the pockets of land that are still available around the Magic Kingdom.

    They could move them. Would be ironic to see M/Gs moved for a new land in DAK while MK is getting a land just FOR M/Gs...Would balance that equation out.

    >>>Nearly 10 times the size of Disneyland<<<

    The entire size of Universal Orlando.
