Baltic Square embraces and exemplifies the richer character and mood of other “Squares,” bringing an underrepresented culture to the forefront by exploring the crossroads between Central, East, and Northern Europe through ornate Brick Gothic architecture, ethnically varied cuisine, the regions roots in the incredible stories of Baltic Vikings, and an untapped backlog of whimsical folk tales.

View attachment 492313Harmony Square in Disneyland Paris focuses on a different type of evolution, the evolution of food preparation, Alcohol brewing, & last but not least, animal treatment, with attractions focusing on these topics, like a restaurant with all natural & healthy food options or one with a stupidly wide variety of wines that only a connoisseur of the beverage could truly enjoy, along with shows that showcase recent innovations in the topics at hand.

Cape June
![]()
Serving as the transitioning point between Adventureland (with its colonial style buildings) and Eric’s Kingdom (with its seaside theme) in Fantasyland and also having an entrance close to the Castle Hub; Cape June is an expanded version of DisneySea’s Cape Cod; most of the activities that can be done here are admiring the beautiful Roaring Twenties set town and taking in the ambience, shopping and dining (including an all year round Christmas Shoppe, an ice cream and soda fountain, an old seafood restaurant on the waterfront that has a regular jazz band called the “Catch of the Day” (and a speakeasy in the basement) and a great boutique that boasts comfortable, cool, charming, and cozy clothing for just about everything) but also present are “The Citizens of Cape June”; a streetmostsphere show that occurs several times a day, a trackless boat ride nearly identical to Aquatopia with the biggest differences being that it’s not in the steampunk style and that it’s set up as a race between Mickey and Oswald, a spinner ride similar to Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree where a company of merfolk sing sea shanties to guests riding carriages pulled by little sea dragons inside a grotto on the outskirts of town, and a D ticket dark ride that would act as a maritime cousin to The Haunted Mansion in Liberty Square.
Bonus: Hauntings Beneath the Sea is a marriage between 20K Leagues Under The Sea’s dry for wet dark ride system and the Haunted Mansion’s balance between frightening and silly; with an addition of fascinating, as submarines take guests from the studies from the foreboding hall of the sea captain who sets them up for the voyage to explore an uncharted portion of the North Atlantic and into his private submarine base to the Leviathan’s nest and the ship graveyard; the latter being a resting place of some rather merry spirits who love to mess about with each other and some of the local sea life, as well as an intriguing and mesmerizing sea valley that is home to some merfolk; some of whom watch the subs go by on the ridge overlooking the sea floor.

(I deliberately left out a location or transition, as I don't think this would fit in any existing castle park at the moment. If it was vital, I'd consider Shanghai possibly.)
Ethnicity Square
View attachment 492576
Why have a large area on one cuisine when Ethnicity Square brings a little bit of all these great places as smaller Ethnic Neighbourhoods (like NYC): Suddenly, Little Italy, Chinatown, Astoria (Greek), Koreatown, and Little Odessa (Russian) can all be found together bringing a few small cuisines into one friendly square.

Old Town Square
View attachment 492630
Modeled after the square of the same name in Prague, Old Town Square takes the addition of new lands to Epcot's World Showcase in a different direction by adding several smaller countries, that wouldn't normally be added on their own, with a commonality at once with this first land introducing the Czech Republic, Poland & Romania in this grand square concept that is popular throughout Europe and providing dining, shopping and cultural offerings to showcase each.

This new omnimover dark ride brings a spooky, if somewhat humorous adventure at times to Epcot, similar to The Haunted Mansion, and utilizes techniques from Navi River Journey and Runaway Railway to takes guests on a paranormal adventure through some of the spookier sights of the countries part of Old Town Square including Czocha Castle in Poland, Prague's Charles Bridge and culminating with a trip through Romania's eerie Hoia Baciu forest with the various scenes transitioning from day light to show off the locales to nighttime for a bit of fright and adventure.
