The pictures I've seen show the area to be fairly small. So we are not talking a half day area much less a full day.
So, yes initially a lot of HP fans will go there and there will be an initial impact from curiosity etc, But long term is what counts and the area just isn't big enough to have the kind of long term impact that would hurt Disney. Besides, Disney is truly a destination and all of U.S. simply isn't big enough for that.
