Yes there are a few tunnels, but look at EE, its about 60 percent enclosed, but the parts outside are heavily themed. Thats why it wouldn't work in a Disney Park. Also when i asked for a source, i didn't mean the source where reporters got there info, but an actual article that they may have written.
No I don't have an article. I knew some of the design team for Animal Kingdom, that I talked with while the park was being developed and opened. You are correct about theming, yet even BTM is mostly outside. Which is maybe another reason they abandoned it, because it didn't fit with that. All I know was they started the idea were very keen on it, then scrapped it. Probably for many reasons.

Also, WDI was going through a bit of a shake-up and morale was difficult around then.
