Really... that's ambitious.. Ah just read the article so its part of a resort thing that another company is making, makes more sense now.
Does this show that the BBC and others have confidence that Doctor Who will still be going strong in 2020, and won't be cancelled anytime soon like doom-mongers will have us believe, I'd like to think so
“Michael Eisner intended to buy the ‘Doctor Who’ franchise and install it in Tomorrowland before George Lucas and ‘Star Wars’,” said Korkis. “At that point, the Doctor Who franchise hadn’t been active and Eisner was looking for something to get people excited about Tomorrowland.”
“One of the things Imagineers designed was a TARDIS, where you would enter the TARDIS and of course as you exited on the other side you were into a warehouse building – because we all know the interior of the TARDIS is so much larger,” added Korkis.
From there, guests could have boarded a Doctor Who themed dark ride, according to Korkis, that would take them on adventure through through time and space.
“Eisner also intended to make a Doctor Who movie and at the opening of the attraction he was going to announce who was going to be playing Doctor Who in that,” noted Korkis.
Ultimately, of course, a longtime partnership was formed with George Lucas and the Doctor Who franchise slipped away from Disney’s grip.

Yes and no - that Doctor Who would be perhaps the centrepiece of the park does indeed suggest huge confidence in the show.
But the article also suggests that Merlin might be a big part of the park - and that's been cancelled for two years now. So even if Who was cancelled, I think that it's history and marketability wouldn't stop it still being a big part of this proposal.

Hopefully something like a 3d immersive ride rather than Dalek Dodgems!

You mean we could have had this?
Or more likely this
Sounds somewhat familiar!
