5 Things you would add/remove from WDW

[TXDisney]

Things I'd add... All involve Epcot. I'd almost eliminate that while future world area and make it an area with multiple rides. Not sure of theme though. I'd also like a few more countries added to WS.
Things I'd get rid of... Obviously as previous stated, the future area of Epcot and the carnival area of DinoLand.

3) Return Studios to actual backlots and production sets whilst adding a few more attractions

Hmm you do know that the majority of film production has moved out of Southern California so it would be more historical in nature than reflective of the modern film industry.

EPCOT does need more attractions and an update.

Do you like the two expansions coming to Hollywood studios then?

 

[micdisney]

build Beastly Kingdom instead of Avatarland

What would that include?

Yes, something new and different but still film industry and tracking the Disney company's involvement. Both franchise based areas are immersive extensions of the environments presented in their films. The old backlot covered points in time of Disney production, but they've moved on from Golden Girls and Pearl Harbor. (edit: Richard Tracy for those who liked to bake on the Streets of America shells.. darned censor bot, think of the diminutive nickname for Richard)

What would that include?

It would be full of fabulous and ridiculously expensive attractions based on the original ideas for the land -- only changed, because in my fantasy, I get to be in charge. It would have at least one breathtaking rollercoaster that travels over and even under water (themed around a Leviathan); a creepy enchanted medieval castle darkride with a dragon encounter (perhaps Sleeping Beauty themed), a Greek-inspired Fantasia labyrinth with moving walls, fountains, animatronic Centaurs and other special effects, a Pixie Garden restaurant with animatronic fairies, pixies and brownies flitting overhead... that's how it looks in my head, anyway, without any consideration of cost or practicality, as it seemed like the OP was asking us for our ideal, "blue sky" ideas.

 

[mcurtiss]

1. Bring back Mr. Toad
2. Bring back Snow White
3. Level the Speedway and install WreckItRalph or Treasure Planet dark ride
4. Bring back Horizons
5. Remove Aladdin's Magic Carpet and leave open space

 

[bethymouse]

Add a Tron ride somewhere!

Would you ever want to build EPCOT as Walt envisioned it? As an actual city.

I know people kind of fantasize about this but I don't think the utopian vision would have ever worked. If you looked at other centrally planned cities it usually ends in failure: Brasilia comes to mind. Detroit was a centrally run/planned city - not on the scale of Brasilia as in built from scratch but it was intended to be the crown jewel of centrally planned cities in the USA.

Organically grown cities seem to function much better. When there's a need a business opens nearby to fill it. When that need goes away that business closes and some other business takes it's place. While we all might like the symmetry of Epcot (I'm there, too), that really isn't reflective of real life.

Look at how WDW evolved as it is now. It's centrally planned and kind of a mess/all over the place. Anytime any of us start fantasizing about extending the monorail our minds have to twist into pretzels to make it work.

I'm not saying zero city planning or no zones or that sort of thing (I'd lean towards less government interference but realize these things to have their place).

Remove:
1. Phil Holmes
2. The gunk from the monorails and especially the beams. It's depressing.
3. The 3 Caballeros from El Rio Del Tempo
(I do love the Mickey Mouse Revue AA's tho)
4. The bureaucracy between Imagineering and accountineering.
5. Stitches Great Escape from the Park and any memory of it.

 

[IanDLBZF]

For me, I would remove:

1. The current bus loop at MK and relocate to the TTC
2. Stitch's Great Escape
3. Robert Chapeck
4. Any mediocre or poor guest experiences
5. The whole preferred parking ordeal

And I would add:

1. Direct SunRail, Amtrak, and Brightline service into the TTC
2. More improvements to any attractions requiring attention (i.e. the Yeti, Broken Fxs, etc.)
3. Beastly Kingdom, but alongside AVATAR
4. New monorail trains
5. Enhancements to the guest experience, including to MyMagic+

 

[Wdw62114]

Remove all the crybaby guests that visit!

 

[copcarguyp71]

Remove Tomorrowland Speedway
Add Meet the Robinsons ride in Tomorrowland
Get rid of ROA and expand Liberty Square
Add a new pavilion in place of Wonders of Life
Remove Kali Rover Rapids and do something spectacular with the real estate

My Top 5 would be:
5) Discontinue Stitch's Great Escape as an attraction -- instead, use it as an enforcement tool. Anyone caught cutting lines, using a stroller as a battering ram, or engaging in other Disney sins will have their MagicBand deactivated, be strapped into their chair in the Stitch auditorium and made to experience Stitch's Great Escape, over and over, for a couple of hours or more (with the length of their sentence depending on the severity of their infraction). Once their sentence has been served, their MagicBand will be reactivated and they may continue on their way, having paid their debt to society, with a complimentary chili dog as a parting gift.

My family chose to go on that when I was maybe 12. I was a huge scaredy cat, and had frantic memories of when it was Alien Encounter (never went on that either, but I remember people coming out of it in hysterics). The three of them went to Stitch, I waited outside in Tomorrowland. They came out of the 'attraction' and were not happy about it at all.

Being afraid of everything when I was little probably saved me some time.

 

[Princess Leia]

My top 5:
1. Add Beastly Kingdom to Animal Kingdom after Pandora. I know that there would need to be some changes since Islands of Adventure took some of the ideas, but there are so many ideas they can choose from. Minotaur, Pegasus, Dragons (different than the HP Dragon Challenge), the Fantasia fantasy boat ride, etc., etc. It doesn't have to be simply dragons and unicorns..
2. Revamp Epcot in two stages:
a) Add Brazil, India, and a Middle Eastern country to the World Showcase. Epcot is desperately in need of some new cultural experiences. While these are being built, add the German boat ride. Only instead of a cruise around the rivers, maybe involve Grimm brothers tales that were never adapted into Disney films. Examples- Goose Girl, Rumplestiltskin, Red Riding Hood. Also give the Japanese pavilion a ride. Whether it's the train, a mountain, or Godzilla (or all 3). There is going to be a major bottleneck factor in the WS with the only two rides being practically next door to each other.
b) Finally touch up Future World. Bring back Dreamfinder. Add new attractions to the Wonders of Life pavilion. Anything. Make it fun and interesting again.
3. Revamp the Little Mermaid ride.
4. Ditch Stitch's Great Escape
5. Update the Great Movie Adventure with new AAs. They need TLC. Also, fix the stupid water feature at the beginning so it actually works.

 

[Debbie]

I would like to see more countries added to World Showcase
bring back Lights of Winter to Epcot
I wish Disney would freeze their prices for a while
Build out Magic KIngdom more and add a Matterhorn, even the coaster from California Adventure would be cool
Return Hollywood Studios to its original self with a star a day appearing, and the backlot studio tours etc

 

[Dj Corona]

Alright, here goes....
1) Please, please, PLEASE stop construction on Avatarland, your gambling on a movie made in 2009, whose sequels keep getting pushed back farther and farther, if your going to build anything there, if not a true Beastly Kingdom (as previously mentioned), how about Australia, or anything else that doesn't break the overall theme of the park. Yes, I know, Beastly Kingdom breaks the theme of the park, too, but it was originally part of the plans, so it gets a pass.
2) Sharpie me in as another vote to bring back Mr. Toad, the original "Journey Into Your Imagination" ride, (upstairs included!) and the "Wonders of Life" pavilion.
3) Knock off this crap that every ride needs a "plussing" in it's queue/line, most bored people just stare at their phones anyways, so why ruin beloved attractions with interactive stuff nobody really cares about, (Seriously, find me a post anywhere on these boards that starts "Me, the wife, and the kids weren't too sure about **insert name of ride here**, but wow! The things going on in that line make us ALL want to ride again.")
4) Any chance we can go back to the days where buying tickets to holiday parties was worth it??
5) Bring back bus drivers, however packed it was going back to the resort, or however late it was, were ALWAYS fun and entertaining.

 

[Den Carter]

1. Major upgrade to Future World to make better use of the pavilions, and a much-needed update to UoE
2. Re-theme Tomorrowland in line with DLP's sci-fi themed Discoveryland, so it's future proof (removing Stitch and relocating Buzz to Toy Story Land)
3. Replace MSEP with something on par with Paint The Night. Or a new version of Spectromagic
4. New countries for World Showcase. I'd like to see all eight spare spots used - maybe adding one country a year
5. Make Fastpass+ more flexible for park hopping and remove the tiers from Epcot.

 

[Princess Leia]

Re-theme Tomorrowland in line with DLP's sci-fi themed Discoveryland, so it's future proof (removing Stitch and relocating Buzz to Toy Story Land)

I would be totally on board with this. If they kept the theming of Buzz on the move to TSL, it could be Hamm or Rex playing a video game, and we're 'Player 1' and 'Player 2' or something.
