This is a sort of a continuation of an older thread here: https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/how-do-i-explain-that-my-park-is-fictitious.976059/.
I think one issue may have been trying to come up with a name for this Disney park, where German and Portuguese are spoken. I think if a name can be created, it could help. But I haven't really got any ideas for names, though. I've tried to come up with a few, but none of them seemed to work. One name was Berlisilia (a made-up city which combines elements of Berlin and Brasilia, but where would it go? It would require a full-on top-to-bottom description of an alternate time in history, like worldbuilding. I'm not the most creative person in the world, and I'm definitely poor about being as creative as this. It's tough enough to do a park as it is. I prefer to control the imagination rather than let it run wild.
Another idea was to set it in a world that technically was created beforehand, but still mythical, such as Xanadu, based on a poem by Samuel Coleridge and made famous in a movie from 1980. The problem with that is that not only does Xanadu/Kubla Khan not have anything to do with reality, interfering with my desire to have a Soarin' attraction here, as it has flights over real landmarks and ends in the location you're in, but I don't believe Brazil or Germany have had anything to do with this.
Still another idea of mine was to maybe go with a name taken something like "Scala ad Caelum", which means "Stairway To Heaven". I got the name from the Kingdom Hearts games, incidentally.
But still, nothing seems to really work. How can I come up with at least a name (if not a location) for a Disney park where German and Portuguese are spoken? At least "Berlisilia" blended sort of well, but another challenge is the somewhat friendly relations Germany and Brazil had had during WW2.
The fact is, as someone autistic and literal-minded, I tend to overthink things a lot because I want things to be done a certain way.
Can anyone come up with a way to give a name to this Disney park idea of mine?
