Mine has been updated, probably finished
As a Southerner I approve this proposal! Absolutely phenomenal and really captures Southern charm, food, and culture! Well done!The Midpoint Challenge
This new land at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom will transport you back to the Ole South, after the Civil War and during the Reconstruction. You will visit plantations, the smoky mountains, and the streets of Savannah Georgia.
The though process for coming up with this land was simple, Liberty Square leads to Frontierland, so Frontierland should lead to (simple American History Lesson here...) the Civil War/Reconstruction. So now I present to you:
Dixie Country
The map:

1. Big Thunder Mountain Railway
The ride layout will remain the same; however the story and queue will change completely. You know approach the ride shaded under large trees leading to a Manor house of a plantation. Once you enter you wind through the house until you go the basemen. Here you learn you are at the loading station to the Big Thunder Mountain Railway, which is an under construction railway through the Smoky Mountains. Along the ride you listen to different African-American work songs.

2. Splash Mountain
The ride remain very similar however the mountain exterior will look grassier, like Tokyo’s Splash Mountain. The Briar Patch shop next door will be rethemed to a small Southern Plantation house.

3. The Old South
A dark ride about the Southern USA before, during, and after the Civil War. Guests visit a large Plantation getting to see a large extravagant party until it is suddenly interrupted by the Civil War starting… (Think Gone with the Wind). There would then be some somewhat scarier scenes taking you through an army camp and near a battlefield. You then witness the destruction of the war and see the reconstruction beginning.

Post it! Can't wait to see it!
Critiques
@jdmdisney99 - Interesting Idea adding New Orleans to the Magic Kingdom! I was a little worried at first it'd be extremely similar to Disneyland's, but I think you pulled it off in a way to give it it's own style.
Your Big Thunder Mountain Railroad update really keeps the rock work a big part of the attraction, and it'd still probably fit if you saw it from Frontierland. Really enjoyed this!
Trolly sounds great. I loved the ride system they worked on and something similar would really be great to this area. I like the storyline for this as well.
Thank you for keeping Splash Mountain the same, it's a classic. I like how you added greenery though to make it fit!
Interesting idea working with Tom Sawyers Island! The fort change was a cool take on the classic Fort!
Adding the Princess and the Frog in some way was kind of expected with New Orleans Square. I like what you did here though! It doesn't really mess with the Rivers of America, and it makes a great show for the area. Plus, Tiana's Place sounds like a perfect fit as well.
The Bayou Paths and Parc des Angels really add to the place. So do the quick service locations you created. Plus moving the Riverboat here really brings the area together.
Overall, great idea! Really enjoyed this!
@MA Screamin' - I like how you didn't change much to Big Thunder Mountain, but made it fit to the area as a transition! I also like how you didn't mess with Splash Mountain much, just some greenery.
Black Falls and Rover Valley Expeditions sounds like a great addition to the area! I wish you included more information on it, though.
The Mountain Explorers Club sounds great! It being similar to the Adventure's club got me into this! The dining options sound great as well!
Spirits of the Wilderness sounds like a nice addition to the area as well.
Overall, Interesting idea. it kind of reminded me of Frontierland, even though it isn't Wild Wild West. It had that, western exploration theme to it. I don't know if it's so different to be called another land.
@Sam4D23 - I'm a Doctor Who fan, and I'd love to see Doctor Who incorporated someday in the Parks, trust me. But I'm not sure that adding it to the Magic Kingdom in this way is the way to go in adding it to the parks. I'm also not sure about Port Discovery.
It just seems like something for Tomorrowland or something near Tomorrowland. I don't know how the transition would work.
I like what all you added if it was on the other side though! For some reason, it just didn't fit with me where it is in the area of the park.
Overall, I just didn't think it'd work well with the area. It seemed too different from Adventureland and Frontierland to work well.
@ctxak98 - I like how you explored winter in the parks! Brilliant! Geyser Valley was an interesting twist on Big Thunder, and the Sleigh ride adds to the area.
I don't know about what you did with Splash Mountain, though. It is a classic, and you'd have to have an amazing ride to get rid of it. Even though it sounded great for the area, it didn't sell getting rid of Splash Mountain for me.
Overall, Interesting idea! Really enjoyed this take! Not sure about your Splash Mountain overlay though.
@Zweiland - The Inca Empire?! Interesting move! It seems like a mix of Frontier and Adventureland, almost.
I was worried with Dreamworks about El Dorado. Still am, but the ride sounds great! I'm not sure if it's enough to get rid of Splash Mountain though.
I like your take on Big Thunder Mountain, interesting! Awesome story to it!
Uca Pacha sounds like an interesting ride. Not sure about having the underworld at The Magic Kingdom though, then again…
Anyways,
The Pachacuti sounds like a great railroad station, and adding the Railroad diorama's are always a plus!
Overall, interesting idea! I really enjoyed it!
@danjen2331 - Dixie Country sounds like a great addition!
I like your take on Big Thunder Mountain! Interesting idea adding it to the Smokey Mountains! I like what you did with Splash Mountain as well.
The Old South really is a great addition to Dixie country as well! It really screams the south.
Mama's Home cooking and the Little Back River Cafe sound like great additions to this area.
Overall, Fantastic job! Really great proposal!

That was actually what I was going for there, haha! Didn't know if anyone would notice.Started from the bottom, now we here...
Welcome to the newest ride in Toontown! This ride is based around the character Eddie Valiant and his detective agency. Guests enter a cartoonized version of his agency, actually his agency's Toontown Branch rather than a main office. Then, visitors are told they are going after Judge Doom, as Eddie believes he is about to destroy downtown Toontown with the Dip. Next, they board into old fashioned cars, given a cartoon flare (like below but as a cartoon)Challenge 17
Welcome to Toontown!
Welcome back to Tokyo Disneyland!
I'm just going to get right to the challenge.
Your job is to create a new attraction that fits into Tokyo Disneyland's Toontown!
The only rule really is you can't use Roger Rabbit in it. I'll say it again, go crazy in this challenge!
Due tonight at Midnight.
