His point was that Peter Pan would fit better than Frozen does since the story actually comes from and partially takes place in a real place in the country represented.

That's correct. In Epcot you walk into the UK pavilion then enter a building that looks like it would fit in London, then board a ride that would depart the land that you are physically in. Honestly, I doubt they do this and am fine with it remaining in MK, I just thought there was some logical synergy with the concept.

Which of the other rides in Fantasyland have representation of an actual identifiable location like London? Beast, Mermaid, Snow White may all based on regions in Europe but none as specific as an existing city like London. They are fantasized versions of those regions.

Until they come to the realization that the park has been long dead, they will be happier. The view of the company has shifted to exploiting their IPs and not developing original ideas. That is why I am sad.. There will never be another haunted mansion, or pirates of the caribbean.

C'mon Black Cauldron! BC would be incredible but it was such a flop. Plus, it would scare the crap out of the kids.

Mystic Manor didn't open that long ago. Obviously, that's the exception not the rule, but it certainly shows the company can and will develop original concepts on that scale at times.
And they just opened up a nighttime spectacular in DAK that does not have IPs involved

I should have been clear.. State side parks. And the DAK show is not exactly a shining example of their abilities. Can you name an attraction since everest or in the future that isnt IP based?

The Sword In The Stone's narration explicitly states that it takes place in England.
That's not stopping Disney from doing a live-action remake.

I did say arguably. No one knows where he actually found the Sword, it could have even been London.
He was "born" in Cornwall (Tintagel) and the holy grail aspect of Arthurian legend is Cornish. And of course he became King of England (allegedly). But both his parents were Welsh; it's so wrapped up in Welsh legend, the original accounts were all in Welsh, Excalibur ended up at the bottom of a Welsh lake, his final battle was there .....
Mind you, if he existed at all the historians reckon he was probably a Roman general, so they could put it in the Italy pavilion!
Edit: sorry, forgot to post the link. This refers to the movie narration stating it takes place in England. I love that Disney appears to know for sure when no historian does!

And? The original stories of Aladdin have the whole thing set in China. We should move Aladdin to the China Pavilion!
Moot point, anyway, since Wales is part of the United Kingdom, and it's the UK Pavilion, not the England Pavilion.

Pretty sure Aladdin is a fairy tale set in China. And yes, you could argue it belongs more in China than Morocco which is not even an Arab country, which is where Disney chose to set their version.
The story of Arthur is more than a fairy tale, like Robin Hood, It is more than likely that there was such a person who rose to become King, even if there is uncertainty as to the degree to which the elements of the story belong to one person.
It may be a moot point, and I would agree with you in general, except that I used it as an example of widening the representation of the UK. It comes down to the difference between England and the UK. It is why I would like to see a Brave ride. I like the movie, and it happens to fulfill my wish to see the UK pavilion be more than England-centric.

Well, technically in that case it would have to start in Japan, over to Italy, and finish in the UK. So, unless it is some huge ride that one is probably out.

It will be based on the seldom mentioned movie 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court'

I'm calling it: its the Canterbury Tales. Perfect for the drunken rolicking and debauchery we've come to expect from a weekend at Epcot.

Mary Poppins, it’s safe because it has a classic movie but also forward looking with new films slated to be released. It makes too much sense for them to use this IP.

I don't think DuckTales has been seriously brought up as a possibility on here. There's a reboot just starting up now.
You could argue many reasons that it doesn't naturally fit, which is exactly why this is the likely IP. I mean hey, Donald wears a fancy hat, bow tie, and jacket with buttons. Scrooge even wears a top hat, and one would presume he's actually from the UK. And the ducks can be tailored to tell just about any story, or at the very least, chase each other around in front of various tourist attractions.
If this is supposed to be to Kitchen Calamity as Gran Fiesta Tour is to Frozen Ever After, using Donald and other ducks would make that quite the analogy.
