Your information is based on a fatally flawed premise. Western countries, including the USA, are originators of much of this plastic trash - you ship it to developing countries at a very low price and expect them to dispose of it appropriately. Look at the size of most of the countries on that...

Sorry for the long hiatus, but I'm back now, and it's time for the park's most ambitious land. The Land of Narnia: Taking its cues from the fantasy world created by C.S. Lewis, this land has a trio of major attractions that all qualify as E- or D-tickets. Even the transportation to this...

Hundred Acre Wood: This land themed to Winnie the Pooh and his friends occupies the northwest (top left) corner of the park. The woodland theming is relatively straightforward; the inspiration for the Hundred Acre Wood was the Ashdown Forest in East Sussex. The wood is accessible from the hub...

Pixie Hollow: Located in the southwest (bottom left) corner of the park, this land draws inspiration from the Disney Fairies franchise. It is accessed from three points: a tunnel/cave from Kensington Park Gardens, and wooded paths from Hell Hall and the Hundred Acre Wood. It is one of two...

I am proposing the Hundred Acre Wood as one of the lands for Disney's Great British Adventure outside London. You will see more than a couple of these ideas come to fruition there. Pooh has a dedicated corner of the Fantasyland in Shanghai with two rides, a Many Adventures clone plus a teacup...

Toad Hall: A second mini-land can be accessed from the park's hub, this time to the right. Crossing a footbridge over the canal that encircles the hub, guests arrive in a quaint English village whose small square is dominated by a fountain featuring a statue of its most famous resident, J...

I originally toyed with a futuristic land based on Treasure Planet, but its reimagining made it a questionable fit for a British-themed park, and I wasn't sure it had enough going for it to sustain an entire land, nor were there any obvious candidates among other Disney properties with which it...

I'd love to see them do something to expand the original DLP - axing the planned Beauty & the Beast attraction was such a sad omission. This plot of land isn't suited for that, of course. A flume ride would be something new for the park and I think they can easily manage the water effects to...

Hell Hall: On the left of the hub is a mini-land dedicated to the 101 Dalmatians franchise and themed to Cruella's country estate. Passing under the foreboding gates, up ahead is a slightly creepy mansion that's a cross between the Victorian conservatory aesthetic of the Crystal Palace...

I did not know that! Well, that certainly would've opened up a whole new land - perhaps even an entire park.

Village Green (Central Hub): At the far end of High Street, guests arrive at the central hub of the park, "Village Green". Looming over it is the Castle of Cair Paravel from The Chronicles of Narnia. The top image is from the most recent films, although I imagine the version built at this...

Cherry Tree Lane: Turning right instead of left at the crossroads, visitors enter the Cherry Tree Lane sub-land, home to Disney's first Mary Poppins attraction. I wanted to revive the indefinitely-postponed (cancelled?) Cherry Tree Lane area and Mary Poppins attraction at the UK Pavilion in...

I don't know how original the story will be, but my preliminary plans for the second park (not this one) will feature a drop-tower with a tie to S.E.A. - in fact, it will be a recurring motif for the entire second park. I've not yet decided whether it will be the version used at ToT in TDS.

The Neverland theming looks impressive (although I'm skeptical about sightlines to the other areas of Fantasy Springs and - especially - the huge new hotel), and I'm sure the new ride will be something unique - unlike the Pixie Hollow ride, which sounds like it will be a flat ride. But I can't...

Kensington Park Gardens: Accessed by turning left at the crossroads halfway up High Street, Kensington Park Gardens is not officially a land but rather an off-shoot of High Street, in the style of Edison Square or Liberty Street that were once planned to be built off Main Street in...

Thanks - I can see your point about spreading out expenditure. Hopefully this rumor is just that, and they stick to a late 2022 debut. I feel that having Magic Kingdom - the park that is actually celebrating its golden anniversary - go without a new attraction until the tail end of the...

Thanks everyone - with your advice, I managed to get my post approved above. A detailed walkthrough of High Street appears at post #12 (click the link!)

Gotta say I wasn't too impressed by Narcoossee's but I think I was expecting too much. And also I didn't want to spend top dollar so there's that.

I dunno about that ... the last time they used an expansion pad for a "temporary" building (World ShowPlace), it's remained there for ages and doesn't look likely to be removed anytime soon.

Do they really benefit that much from delaying capital expenditures to early 2023? I can understand moving them from 2021 to 2022, but all the way to 2023? I rode this in Shanghai and thoroughly enjoyed it, but yeah - it's over in a flash. Way too short.
