I’m thinking of only having three areas for the waterpark: Discovery Bay (with the previously talked about attractions), Mediterranean Harbor (which could be themed to Athens or Venice, also features hotel), and American Waterfront (could be themed to NYC, Boston/Cape Cod, East Coast, or San Francisco, latter might be tougher due to being in California)

I agree, maybe lost river delta could replace it for the waterparkAmerican waterfront may be a Great Downtown Disney setting to be honest
(recap)
2nd Gate: Cartoon World?
Downtown Disney: American Waterfront (NYC/Boston/San Fran)
DisneySea Anaheim:
Mediterranean Harbor: MiraCosta Hotel
Discovery Bay: JTTCOTE, 20K, ATWI80D
Lost River Delta: ?
Also remember that what is currently the Pixar Place hotel still existed back then (Pan Pacific). Could Disney still repurpose it?

What about WestCOT? Does it get built in this timeline?
It can! But nothing set in stone.
Honestly, Westcot may be a fun take on Downtown Disney Instead of American Waterfront. Imagine Pleasure Island days of old, but with different countries.

Also Hollywoodland too? The land could have The Great Movie Ride, Baby Herman's Runaway Baby Buggy Ride, Toontown Transit, Dick Tracy's Crimestoppers and Superstar Television.
Are you thinking for a Downtown Disney area or a Park land?
Also DLR natives, how does everyone feel about the Renovation of the Disneyland hotel in the 90s? Better? Worse?
Seemed like there were a ton of amenities prior

“Michael’s mandate was really clear. It was we wanted to build a second park in Anaheim, but the infrastructure in the city provided outside of our four walls was not very good and was frankly, decaying. How do we put beautiful tree-lined streets and how do we improve the infrastructure and parking? How could we transform Anaheim into a resort destination?”
- Paul Pressler, The Imagineering Story.
Project Background
Before Frank Wells passing, the company doing rather well on expansion and revitalization, and on the brink of an Animation Renaissance and designing Disney's America. Disneyland itself is hitting some major milestones, with Star Tours, Captain EO, and Splash Mountain hitting the scene. Mickey's Toontown, a new land for the park, is set to open in the next two years.
This is the third volume to the hit brainstorming thread Walt Disney World 1966, and it’s successor, Disneyland Madrid Resort 1985 - Vol. II. 1966 ended up with 118 pages of content, let's see if we can top it!
It's group brainstorming - not a competition. That being said, there are a few twists this volume though, so be prepared for some shake-ups.
In that prior respect, I'm bringing this new project to the forum, for a new plan for the Disneyland Project from the ground up. We're going to Keep Moving Forward and open new doors!
The Prompt
The year is 1991, the decision has been made to push forward with developing the Disneyland Resort, ignoring Paris' initial woes. Michael Eisner has instructed us to transform Anaheim into a resort destination.
So, the question is, as a team, what do we do and where do we start?
Future Directory
OOOOOooooooooooooo!!!!!
Second gate and a small water park.
I’m at work so I can’t elaborate much right now but that’s where my brain goes immediately.

a park land.
If we go the studios/cartoon route - it could work!
Some of the OG 1966 cast may be interested in this as well @spacemt354 @Voxel @Disney Dad 3000 @DlpPhantom @FigmentPigments

It's sounds so Eisner to do that - but also so wrong to put something so cookie cutter sounding next to DLR
Maybe Disney's Cinemagic Park? Something that makes it different.
Also, we don't have to necessarily stick with the Studios/Cartoon theme - if anyone has and other brainstorming ideas go for it! We're a day in and there's no due date
