While Disney has not confirmed the rumors, the expansion would certainly complement the current continents represented at Animal Kingdom, Africa and Asia, without competing with any of the World Showcase offerings.
Disney is busy with expansion on all fronts.  Construction continues at …

Many fans of the beautiful holiday lights that Epcot used to host were disappointed when some of the most spectacular displays were retired last year by Disney.  But at least the music has returned.
Prior to 2009, guests to the park traveled through more than 30,000 lights that were formed into arches leading from Futureworld into World Showcase. The lights were synchronized with music, as was the nearby Fountain of Nations.
But last year, citing aging technology, Disney announced that the arches would no longer be part of the holiday display.
Cue disappointed fans, …
