Although, by all means, let's encourage the public to want it... I would love Mary Poppins.

It is. I don't get it. I REALLY want to know what their first choice is (wish an insider would just drop the news on what it will be but I guess there's a reason they haven't, I just wonder how long it will be). I'm still sticking with Brave (and no I don't need anyone to tell me it may or may not fit; they don't care. Take a look at Frozen Ever After and how they're shoehorning Guardians in with some fabricated back story to justify it being in the park).

I haven't been to the UK in 11 years (that fragment just made me feel both old and homesick for UK travel), but are there any castles situated near towns? Because that's the only way I think they could thematically include Brave.

Castles were mainly built to defend towns. Not much point to them out in the middle of nowhere, they were forts primarily. Depends on when the castles were built of course, some older ones would have been built by a lord to defend his domain, when the King of England or Scotland might have had several potential rivals. But most of those still standing are in towns or cities.
I don't see a problem with the Brave theme. They already have a pub which combines a country pub, village pub and seaside pub into one, very cleverly. Plus Hampton Court Palace and a street that looks like it would fit nicely into the Cotswolds. So basically England. Might be a good idea to include a bit of the Scottish Highlands.

@Magic Feather @marni1971 @articos @WDW1974 - any word that you can give readers about this project? or is it blue sky / armchair at this point? thank you

I'm guessing it's still "probably not Poppins, definitely not Toad"
Though if anyone mentioned could shoot down another IP (like Great Mouse Detective or Winnie the Pooh) that would be much appreciated by all.

It's a shame if they pass on Poppins. They could do a lot with that IP.I'm guessing it's still "probably not Poppins, definitely not Toad"
I think it's possible pretty much settled. But I'm not giving the game away on this one, sorry. Mickey has big ears and all that.
Suffice to say it has been mentioned already.

Its the UK queue experience, isn't it? Just a queue leading to a recreation of a British queue...

That's true. I wouldn't mind Alice.

I wouldn't mind Alice, or Brave (despite my feelings on the movie), but I can't wrap my mind around why Disney isn't putting in a Mary Poppins dark ride.

That's where I'm at. Poppins seems so logical. The adventure aspect of Brave maybe suits World Showcase a tad better. And I'd also really like an Alice presence. I wouldn't even hate them copying the Disneyland ride.

I think it's going to be Robin Hood, which would make this guy extremely happy.I wouldn't mind Alice, or Brave (despite my feelings on the movie), but I can't wrap my mind around why Disney isn't putting in a Mary Poppins dark ride.

You know what's funny?
What does the FP line look like for such an experience?
Standby only. We Brits don't like to be seen to be pushing in.

The other detraction for Brave is that it would be another Disney Princess attraction in the WS.
