Simba's Safari AdventureI'm surprised they haven't renamed the safari with a connection to Lion King.

Hope you feel better soon.thanks! late to the party it seems, will flip thru more of the discussion here
They can put Fantasy springs there as well. Will free up a space where PPF is now and retheme the bathrooms. I think Fantasyland is the essence of any Disney park so it can never be big enough. Retheme facades of PPF and SW like Paris or Anaheim. Replace PPF with Alice in Wonderland dark ride. As we dont need Tangled bathrooms to be that eleborate anymore, they can build a new and improved, nicer looking teacup ride there (paris again).Awwww yeah I love graphics like these. Regarding the connectors in Fantasyland though; the pathway between iasw and HM is where the access doors are located for a truck to remove a ride vehicle from either attraction's vehicle maintenance bays, which pretty much means that it's not feasible for that to become an onstage location without some major internal work on both attractions. The route to the right would indeed need to bridge over the utilidor entry, but also that path would probably cut right through the kitchen of Pinocchio Village Haus and the Fantasyland operations leaders' office. These are great graphics though!
As for the relocating iasw idea, it would absolutely solve the problem and probably be the most elegant solution, but I just can't see modern TDO being interested in it unfortunately. I know they did it for Dumbo and Barnstormer but iasw feels like a different level from those two.
My crazy idea is maybe eventually with enough eastward expansion and a rerouting of the service road, there could be a connector by removing the restrooms behind Gaston's Tavern, but that would be way larger scope than what is being proposed for Villains Land.
Pretty MuchUpdate from Destination D23: They still have no idea what the hell they’re doing.
But we have nothing to announce…. So we’ll continue to build the hype train'Things are about to go into overdrive at Magic Kingdom says Parks Chairman Josh D'Amaro

Since when have they kept IP to just one park?So the only updated implication from today is that this expansion would NOT include anything Encanto, since that will likely be coming to Animal Kingdom. Personally I hope they go all in on Villains.
Wonder if overdrive is an intentional nod at cars. I would hope not, as coco/villains would be a godly combo.'Things are about to go into overdrive at Magic Kingdom says Parks Chairman Josh D'Amaro

I'm guessing D23 next year will be the big one for MK and AK.But we have nothing to announce…. So we’ll continue to build the hype train
We’ve got concrete confirmation they’re building billion+ projects. We just know earlier than normal, and don’t know the plans. Normally plans just get designed all the time to see what sticks, but here there’s an expansion mandate and design is coming second. This is exciting, even if we don’t have details.I'm guessing D23 next year will be the big one for MK and AK.

I think there is enough demand for an entire villain themed land. Mixing villains with both Coco and Encanto made no sense.If this goes all Villains it’ll be the second thing I’m actually looking forward to alongside the new Test Track.

Coco segueing into the Land of the Dead segueing into Nightmare seguing into Haunted Mansion would flow really nicely although it makes me worry about how long we actually will get to take a riverboat cruise on the Rivers of America.This is true, but seemingly the casita destined for AK (if it happens) would be the ideal focal point of any Encanto based area.
I wonder if they've shifted focus with BBTM and they will look to extend Frontierland with BTM in that direction with NOS taking over the original land as I assume it's only a matter of time before Tiana's Palace arrives. The rest is Villains and Coco?
