Ah. I still have a fondness for both films and I see no reason why it would be unnecessary for two treehouses. If my Adventureland was smaller like the other Adventurelands, I could see where that could look excessive. :king:

For guests who choose to bypass the labyrinthine pathways of the Lost River Delta, they can instead immerse themselves in the world of Polynesia. This is a much smaller sub-land than the previous one mentioned, however there are still many delights to be found here.
To reach Polynesia, one must exit Agrabah and then turn right being sure to hang to the right by passing Aladdin's Oasis, which even though it is an elevated garden, juts out into the street. Once around the Aladdin's Oasis, guests reach a small outcove that houses all of the shops and restaurants Polynesia has to offer.
If hunger calls, one can experience the cuisine of the South Pacific at two fine establishments and a popular snack stand. Greeting guests as they enter this new exotic locale is Aloha Isle, a friendly ice-cream and fruit drink stand located in the center of the plaza, that serves the ever popular Pineapple and Vanilla soft-serve swirl. Located at the center of Polynesia is The Great Ceremonial House, a two-story building that house the counter-service eatery, Sunshine Tree Terrace, on the lower level and 'Ohana, a table-service restaurant that holds 'Ohana's Best Friends Breakfast featuring Lilo & Stitch each morning and a nightly feast that features a variety of grilled meats and traditional Hawaiian entertainment. Street entertainment also can be found near the bottom level of the restaurant at night including fire twirlers and hula girls. While The Great Ceremonial House is a rather large building, but it is nothing in comparison to the titan attraction that looms over it.
To the west of the multi-level eatery is the legendary Fire Mountain, a revolutionary roller coaster ride that takes guests deep within the mouth of a fiery volcano only to pit them against the angry spirits within. This will be the first morphing roller coaster ever to enter the gates of any Disney Park. Guests will begin their journey standing up, but by the time riders approach the 180 degree turn over a chasm of molten lava, they will find themselves lying down. The finale ends with guests being shot out of the mouth of the volcano only to lurch backward into the flaming depths below.
Those who choose not to take the plunge into Fire Mountain can take in a show at The Enchanted Tiki Room, which almost seems to emerge from the base of the mountain itself. Inside, guests will find that the classic attraction has been given an overhaul by the fiendish Iago (from Disney's Aladdin) and his sidekick Zazu (from Disney's The Lion King).
Guests wanting to shop Polynesian style can stop in at South Seas Traders located next to Aloha Isle. This seemingly small yet expansive shop sells everything from traditional gifts and apparell to movie memorbilia (particularly from Disney's Lilo & Stitch). Those on the lookout for the Hawaiian duo may find them wandering around the area throughout the day (except at breakfast hours). This shop merges into Woody's Western Emporium providing the perfect shortcut to Frontierland.
Near the base of Fire Mountain, guests have three options. Enter the que line of the main attraction, visit the enchanted tiki birds or take a wide path located to the far left near the trail leading to the Swiss Family Treehouse. Once through the tunnel, travelers will quickly discover that dead men tell all sorts of tales and buried treasure awaits adventurous voyagers for they are now in Pirate Cove! :king:
Note: My main reason for altering the layout of Polynesia was because it threw off the entire layout of Frontierland and provided problems when I tried to bridge it to The Blue Bayou.

I was reluctant about that too, but I think that the whole bit with Iago angering the Gods will work really well since it is located at the base of Fire Mountain. It wouldn't be totally identical. I'd like to restore some of the original aspects to the show and extend it to accommodate both the old and new elements. I didn't call it Under New Management because a ride can only be called that so long. I always found it funny that the Tiki Room has been Under New Management since 2001. Maybe the story could continue where Under New Management left off and the Tiki Gods would still be angry at Iago and they force him to return the show to normal!

I understand. That sounds like a better idea than what's at WDW now. Just a thought, but do you think it would be confusing it Iago was there AND in Agrabah?
BTW, UNM has been there since 1998, so it's actually been "Under New Management" for ten years! :lol:
Wow. Yeah, I thought that at first but Iago wouldn't be a big part of Agrabah anyway. I mean, obviously he would be seen in some stuff, but not like Aladdin. He probably wouldn't make a character appearance and he doesn't have a big part in any of the rides. It would be funny if at the end of The Enchanted Tiki Room show he said he was flying back to Agrabah. :king:

Are you sure you don't want to return to the original Tiki Room, as overseen by Walt Disney himself? Sometimes the traditional way is best. There is a bit about angering the Gods in the original show. The tiki gods actually perform a short pre-show outside the Tiki Room in DL.
Not really... I think three per land is not over doing it. Pirate Cove or Blue Bayou will not feature roller coasters and all three are different enough to set each other apart. :king:
Once guests have passed through Polynesia, they will soon find themselves in the middle of Pirate Cove. The rambunctious town of Turtuga is the setting for which attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean and Captain Hook's Pirate Ship call home.
My Pirates of the Caribbean attraction will not differ much for the original concept, except it will be elongated to incorporate the story of the Pirates film trilogy within the ride itself. All of the original Audio-Animatronics and scenery will remain, however voyages to Isla de Muerta, Pelegosto, Isla Cruces, Singapore, Davy Jones's Locker, Shipwreck Cove and a frigid cruise across a frozen ocean will be in order. In a nod to the original Disneyland layout, the exit leads guests right into the heart of the Blue Bayou a.k.a. my version of New Orleans Square.
Captain Hook's Pirate Ship is a more hands-on journey. This is the first major attraction seen by guests in Pirate Cove if they travel clockwise from the hub. After boarding the Jolly Roger, a magnificent sailing ship in the spirit of the Columbia at the original Disneyland Park, your adventure soon begins. First, guests are order join the crew of the notorious Captain Hook who has also enlisted the help of Captain Barbossa and the infamous Davy Jones from Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. While onboard, voyagers will meet the rest of the shipmates (which includes Hook's bumbling sidekick, Mr. Smee, and the cursed crew of the Black Pearl and Flying Dutchman) and participate in several initiation activities before reaching the ominous isle, Skull Rock, where Hook has left a secret buried treasure. Once inside Skull Rock, which is located in the center of a large lagoon area that spills into the previously mentioned Lost River Delta, Hook chooses one lucky guest to help him find and unearth the loot. After the booty is returned to Hook aboard, you set sail once more, but not before a triumphant appearance by Peter Pan and his Lost Boys as well as Captain Jack Sparrow, Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner who save the day and steer the ship back to shore. Before you make birth, the newly commandeered Jolly Roger sails past the serene waters of Mermaid Lagoon to pick up Wendy who have been left to deal with the surly sirens. Just when you think the magic has ceased, Tinkerbell makes an appearance and with a little Pixie Dust, she sends the ship skyward. Upon reaching the harbor, riders can enjoy a meet and greet with Peter, Wendy, the Lost Boys, Will, Elizabeth, and Jack (who switches sides mid-trip). Captain Hook, Smee, can be found lurking in the alleys of Tortuga.
If the thrill of adventure causes hunger to call, you can always enjoy lunch or dinner at Hook's Galley, a refined yet rowdy restaurant located in the heart of Tortuga. Guests must take a flight of stairs to a lower level to reach the restaurant. Handicpped entrances will be provided. The restaurant serves as the meeting place of many of Disney's greatest villains who have gathered to conspire about their latest plot against the more magical residents of the kingdom. Meals served are devilish delights that have been seemingly altered by the nefarious hosts. Poisoned Apples will definately be on the dessert menu. The character schedule rotates, but Captain Hook and Mr. Smee will always be in attendance. Dinner is the only meal this eatery offers. For a cheaper meal, one could feast at The Crow's Nest. The main floor, which is one story above Hook's Galley, guests may order their meals (which is limited to traditional American fare). The dining room is located on the upper level, but if desired, guests may also dine on the rooftop patio, which provides excellent views of the Magic Kingdom.
Surrounding the restaurant and the two attractions are a series of shops that stock anything and everything to do with Pirates as well as theme park goods and movie memorbilia from Disney's Peter Pan and the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Observant guests may also find a hidden corridor that leads to Pirate Beach, a labyrinthine walkway of caves and secret passages that direct guests to a system of caverns and tunnels that lead to a hidden treasure room and the secret beach where the Black Pearl is found. Here, guests can explore the inside of the ship and possibly enjoy a run-in with Captain Jack himself. Characters like Barbossa and Davy Jones and even Elliot (from Disney's 1977 hit, Pete's Dragon) are more likely to be found in the treasure room or one of the many alcoves within the cave.
Hope you enjoyed my latest post; the Blue Bayou is next. :king:

Ok, I have a couple questions...
Is Pirates elongated from WDW's or DL's? DL's, if you didn't already know, is much longer with many additional scenes.
Is Captain Hook's Pirate Ship a Walkthough/Show, a ride, or both?
I'm not sure, but I don't think it's a good idea to have one location be a Counter Service for lunch, and a Table Service for dinner. I've never worked in a restaurant, but I just doesn't seem very possible. You could something like what the Liberty Tree Tavern does though, with Table Service for lunch and Family Style With Characters for dinner. Sorry, but I (this could just be me) don't see how it could be done feasibly.
But everything else is great! Keep up the good work! :wave:

Revision:
My first major revision (thanks to a concerned replier) concerns Hook's Galley. Lunch will be kept as a counter-service eatery. It will be called The Crow's Nest. On the main floor, guests can order their meals (which will be traditional American fare). On the second floor lies the main dining room, but if desired, guests may dine on the rooftop, which provides excellent views of the Magic Kingdom. Outside The Crow's Nest will be a small flight of stairs that lead to Hook's Galley, an underground table-service restaurant that would be placed below the main floor of The Crow's Nest. :king:

Captain Hook's Pirate Ship is similar to that of the Sailing Ship Columbia in Disneyland, however it has theatrical elements, a longer riding time, and a more elaborate journey. It will have numerous thirty minute shows running throughout the day. Seating would be first come first serve. :king:

MORE! What is next?
If one manages to make it through the mayhem of Pirate Cove, they will find a more peaceful avenue in the form of The Blue Bayou which transports guests back to a bygone era that holds a special magic all its own. This land (which is shaped like a giant L) serves as a gateway between Adventureland and Frontierland. While the streets of the Bayou are more serene than the rowdy pathways of Pirate Cove, everyday is cause for celebration and many good times await the eager visitor.
If you are traveling from Adventureland, the first area you will visit is a narrow sidestreet similar to those found in the French Quarter. Here, one can shop or explore the serene pathways and courtyards scattered about. Those who do not deviate from the road may find themselves enjoying some of the live entertainment offered here. Mimes, jazz bands, and other musical groups often frequent this area. The only major attraction on this end of the street is Pirates of the Caribbean, which unlike it's Pirate Cove counterpart, follows the original layout of the famous attraction as seen in the other Magic Kingdoms across the globe.
Once around the corner, the street widens out, but there are still plenty of shopping and dining selections found here. At the end of the street is the classic Disney attraction, The Haunted Mansion, which looms over the entire Bayou keeping constand vigil. Despite its ominous appeal, guests who dare enter are treated to a party of sorts conducted by the ominpresent "ghost host" who takes you on an unforgettable journey into the world of the paranormal.
While The Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean will certainly scare up their fair share of guests, the main draw here is the fabulous selection of shopping and dining areas. Here is a list of all the shops and restaurants. A path snaking around the manor will lead guests to a junction. This spacious square is where Woody's Roundup (see later post for details) performs daily. Also here, is a riverside bandstand as well as the docking area for the Mark Twain Riverboat, which takes guests on a leisurely tour around the Rivers of America. On both corners of the Plaza, guests will find the town of Thunder Mesa. The area to the left hugs the edges of the Rivers of America and features a series of old and new E-Ticket attractions along with other delights. To the right, there is a small pocket of the town that holds attractions themed to Disney's 1947 animated short Pecos Bill. This area flows seamlessly into the area known as Critter Country and eventually the riverbank leads you to a pleasant English countryside that holds the fanciful realm of the Hundred Acre Wood, which like The Blue Bayou is a transitional land bridging Frontierland and Fantasyland.
Dining:
The Blue Bayou Restaurant: Located in the same building as the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, the Blue Bayou Restaurant features an extraordinary amount of ambiance. Although it is indoors, guests experience the illusion of eating at an outdoor restaurant at nighttime. The sound of chirping crickets and frogs and the glow of fireflies fill the air as well as the delectable smells of the many Cajun and Creole dishes served here. Diners can also watch riders of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction as they pass through the bayou.
Cafe Orleans: Located further up the street, this airy eatery resembles Main Street U.S.A.'s Plaza Restaurant, only there is a Cajun twist.
French Market: This bustling meca of food and fun serves up fried chicken, sandwiches, soups and salads.
Mint Julep Bar: This small specialty shop serves up mint juleps, fritters, pastries and specialty coffees.
Royal Street Verandah: This small cafe dishes out a limited selection of salads and soup bowls, but all that is offered will definately satisfy a hungry guest.
Shopping:
La Mascarade d' Orleans: A small pin shop located near the central area of the land.
Pieces of Eight: Located near the exit of the Pirates of the Caribbean, this gift shop offers a selection of vintage souvenirs inspired by the original ride. Everything to do with the movies can be found in Tortuga.
Cristal d' Orleans: Personalized crystal and glass is found here in this ornately crafted shop.
Jewel of Orleans: This fine jeweler is a staple of the land and is one of the most elegant shops on the property.
Le Bat en Rouge: Located near The Haunted Mansion, this small gift shop sells anything and everything to do with Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Royal Street Sweets: A wildly inventive candy shop that serves up an eclectic assortment of treats.
That's all for now. We have completed two lands and now we have three left. Now, westward ho to Frontierland.:king:
* Note * While I have completed the areas of Main Street, U.S.A. and Adventureland, I am still cooking up ideas for both areas. I am currently conjuring up an idea for a swamp coaster ride inspired by Disney's 1977 classic, The Rescuers and I am also considering splitting up the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction into two seperate experiences; one being a more turbulant voyage inspired by the film franchise while the other would be in the spirit of Walt's original concept.

Amendment to the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction: The ride will now be split up into two seperate adventures. The first, located in Tortuga, will be called The Legend of Jack Sparrow, which will tell the story of Jack as chronicled in the Disney Press novels written by author Rob Kidd and Gore Verbinski's epic franchise. Guests begin their journey in an elaborate que area that outlines Jack's early days. Next, small clusters of riders will gather in a secret meeting chamber where a pirate host informs guests of the adventure they are about to embark on. Once inside the ride guests board small boats that soon take off into a dark chasm. The ride itself follows the later adventures of Jack as seen in The Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man's Chest, and At World's End. While not a coaster, the ride is slightly turbulent at times. Think the Dinosaur ride at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Along the way, riders will travel to many of the films locations including Port Royal, Isla de Muerta, Pelagosto, Isla Cruces, Tia Dalma's swampy cabin abode, Tortuga, Singapore, a frozen ocean, Davy Jones's Locker, and Shipwreck Cove.
The other POTC ride, located in the Blue Bayou, honors Walt's original layout and will feature no additions like those currently found in Disneyland and Walt Disney World. :king:

Joining fellow E-Ticket attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion is The Rescuers and the Quest for the Devil's Eye, a classic Disney dark ride with a new age twist! Guests will be sent on a harrowing journey through the perilous swamps of Devil's Bayou in search of the coveted Devil's Eye Diamond, which Madame Medusa and her bumbling assistant, Mr. Snoops, have stolen from the Smithsonian Institute. She has also taken Bianca and Bernard, the two valiant mice from the film, hostage inside her half-sunken riverboat hideaway and now it is up to guests to save the day.
To reach the ride, one must wait through a que area located inside the offices of the Rescue Aid Society where they are quickly briefed of the mission and dubbed "Honorary Mice" before being hurried on board a leaf cruiser powered by Evinrude, a trusty dragonfly and friend of Bianca and Bernard. With a flutter of his wings, riders are off and quickly plunged into the darkness.
After a run-in with Medusa's pet crocodiles, Nero and Brutus, the leaf cruiser enters the riverboat where Bernard and Bianca along with the diamond are being held. Before they can escape, Medusa appears with shotgun in hand and without hesitaiton, she begins to fire. Barely escaping the blasts, riders re-enter the swamp. Medusa soon reappears aboard her infamous swampmobile. With the villainess in hot pursuit, Evinrude is forced to take an alternative route into the dreaded pirate cave where the Devil's Eye once rested. Just when it seems that Medusa has won, a band of brave swamp critters save the day as Orville, the reliable Albatross, scoops up riders (as well as Bernard, Bianca and the diamond) and sends them flying high back to the RAS!
As you exit the ride, there will be opportunities to pose for pictures and receive autographs from the likes of Bernard and Bianca. Medusa and Mr. Snoops can be found sulking in a nearby courtyard.
Note: This will be similar to your typical Disney dark ride, but a more elaborate ridescape and Audio-Animatronics will be incorporated into the design. There will also be some moments of turbulence much like the Dinosaur ride in Disney's Animal Kingdom.
I hope you enjoyed my latest update! :king:

Although I confess I am quite fascinated by your very elaborate masterplanning, don't you believe that TWO Pirate-Rides, quite similar in theming and layout, are a little exaggerated?

There's two treehouses and two Pirates. Maybe we could have two Haunted Mansions. One traditional and the other with a Halloweentown theme. It could exit into Le Bat En Rouge. Just a thought. Please carry on. 
I do not think that the two Pirates of the Caribbean attractions are excessive mainly because they are two seperate adventures. The only thing that the two have in common is that they are both on a waterway. One is more thrilling than the other and I didn't mention it in my original post, but 4-D elements would be incorporated into the new attraction. Lots of films are given more than one attraction at the parks. Why can't Pirates?
