Relatively simply. Just build the new facilities first (should any be necessary, which I am still not at all convinced of), move everyone at their leisure, and get on with the show.
If they can gut one attraction for another, they can certainly move office space and parking lots (not that they would even need to do any of that to find room for a Pooh-sized ride).
Seriously, this is Disney. They dropped a
billion on a theme park in the '80s. If moving some office cubes is beyond their capability, it's time for them to shut down and put up a strip mall where the MK used to be.
Designers are bound by what the park limits are.
That's not so much of a factor at the MK. Look at an aerial photo. Besides, Imagineers are clever lads. If they can't build down, they can build up.
It's certainly no more difficult than half the stuff they've done at the parks.
