This is hopefully third time's the charm (or three strikes, you're out)...
This is a third attempt to create a Mickey Mouse-themed land at DHS, after a second attempt here: http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/mickey-avenue-at-dhs-open-brainstorming.862624/.
I came up with this as a sort of "revenge" for using Mickey Mouse-themed areas (i.e., Toontown Fair, Camp Minnie-Mickey) as only temporary. I want this land to be permanent and done on a bigger scale, like with Cars Land, which, according to an article on Progress City, U.S.A. (http://progresscityusa.com/2011/12/18/the-carsland-conundrum/), "due to its scope, expense, and 'pet project' status for grand poobah John Lasseter, will never be removed."
Turtle once thought of the name of the area, Mickey Avenue, which I liked better than Toontown. But Turtle ordered me to come up with my own. The only one I could think of is Mickey Mouse's Hollywood. That's why the thread is no longer about "Mickey Avenue", because, at this moment, it is nameless.
Anyway, my idea is to do something a little more like Mickey's Birthdayland/Starland, but far less low-rent and temporary-looking. It will to look something like this:
Notice those facades that really are just almost flats, particularly along all those tents? And to give you an idea of what the structures for the currently nameless Mickey area at DHS should look like, here's another shot:
But I have no idea how to do this section in something not so low-rent and be able to fit the Studios, beyond possibly have colors be less rainbow-like and somewhat darker. Has anyone got any ideas for to do this?
I had also kept asking if there was a certain time period for Disneyland's Mickey's Toontown, so I could determine the same for the nameless Mickey area at DHS. Apparently, there is no such period setting. I thought that, considering the license plates on Lenny the cab in the Roger Rabbit ride, which was 1947, the same year as "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", Toontown was set in the 1940s. But that would betray the period setting for Gadget's Go Coaster (also to be removed in a plan of mine, but that's another discussion), set supposedly in the '90s.
I say all this because this new take on a Mickey-themed area is a radical departure from the castle parks, where, I admit, I'm more comfortable with doing things for than in a non-castle park (besides Epcot).
So let the brainstorming begin! I can't do this by myself!
