This may be a very old discovery but there's no talk about it to be found. I personally learned about it when I found a save made by @LanDC on the Dream Explorer Disc. That was maybe 7-8 years ago and I haven't looked at it since.
I'm not entirely sure if this is a testing area or really just a beta map. It seems a lot like the latter, with how the signs point to what should be there.
Very interesting to see how close to the final the general layout already is and how easy it is to recognize things. The placement of shops and such is a whole different thing though. Thanks to @Switch who once again did a fantastic job on translating the signs, it is for the first time easy for everyone to see what goes where.
The convenience store inside Beverly Hills Wharf sure is a big surprise and the area apparently did get cut down quite a bit during developement.
