I think this delay - however long it is - will actually be worth it. We’ll get to fully flesh out the current parks hopefully and avoid making the tragic mistake of basing a land on Fantastic Beasts.
Literally no one has ever given a crap about the franchise and the movies are sub-par/bad. It’s amazing that they thought it was a good idea to base a land on that franchise.
I agree that the resort on the whole will be more balanced this way. You weren't looking at a major addition for what, 15+ years at USF? Since Diagon you've had things on the range of total flops to moderate hits. But nothing on the level of Hagrid's or what the Jurassic Coaster appears to be.
This will make the never ending Star Wars comparisons more interesting as well. If you had told Disney the box office and reception of the new trilogy as whole, would they have built the Galaxy's Edge we got? The more time we get to see Fantastic Beasts, the obvious it is that it won't be as timeless...imo.
