So if they reconfigure the backstage access, especially with the expansion coming online, then they can bridge that space, reroute small world's queue to the skyway plot, and then likely rework the ramps down to the ride itself. Allowing them to push back the front wall of small world and open up the badly congested walkway between small world and peter pan.

There's something to be said for the older attractions ... they tend to be longer then the newer ones and the break from the heat is very welcomed! I'm glad they're not adding characters to it. Keeping a couple of attractions as original as possible is a nice link between generations of park goers.
