In this thread, I will write down the plans for my dream Disney resort. Located within the vincity of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the resort consists of two theme parks, three resort hotels, Downtown Disney, and a Disney Cruise Line dock.
I will start with the first theme park: Disneyland Rio.
The world of make-believe comes alive in Disneyland Rio, where exciting adventures, fantasy, and fun surround you in six wondrous lands of enchantment. Travel through these lands and see how fantasy becomes reality when you learn how to be a pirate, dive deep under the sea, and conquer mountains. Get swept up in the spectacle of splendid parades and fireworks shows at Disneyland Rio-it's here that dreams come true for children of all ages.

Main Street USA
Enjoy the boundless charm and hospitality of a small town during 1900s. Stroll past Victorian stores, take a horse-drawn streetcar, and cool off at the Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor. It's just like in the good old days, when Walt Disney was a boy. In Town Square, there is a flagpole with the American and Brazilian flags flying high above Disneyland Rio's dedication plaque. Here, Main Street USA's theming is a combination of the Main Streets in Florida and California, with a dash of Brazilian architecture.
Attractions:
1. The Disneyland Rio Railroad- Take a grand-circle tour of Disneyland Rio with stops in Frontierland, Mickey's Toontown, and Tomorrowland. This station. Main Street USA's station bears a striking resemblance to the one at Disneyland in California.
2. The Main Street Vehicles- Presented by Hertz, the vehicles here are the Horseless Carriage, Fire Engine, Paddy Wagon, Horse-Drawn Streetcar, Omnibus, and Ambulance.
3. The Walt Disney Story- As the highlight attraction on Main Street USA, this attraction is housed inside Town Square's Teddy Roosevelt Theatre and acts as a salute to Walt Disney and the magnificent company he created. Presented by Coca-Cola, this attraction is almost an identical clone of One Man's Dream at DIsney's Hollywood Studios in Florida. The only difference is that the finale film is dubbed into Portuguese.
4. The Main Street Cinema- Six classic Disney cartoons play simultaneously on six different screens. The cartoons here will be Trolley Troubles, Plane Crazy, Steamboat Willie, The Wise Little Hen, The Band Concert, and Runaway Brain.
5. The Penny Arcade- For a penny, nickel, dime, or quarter, you can play some vintage arcade games that are sure to make you smile. The games here are exactly the same as what could be found in California, Florida, and currently in Tokyo.
6. The Plaza Swan Boats- Take a leisurely cruise around Cinderella Castle's moat. This will be similar to what ran in Florida from 1971 to 1983.
Shops:
1. The Newsstand- Newspapers, magazines, mementos, and Disney character merchandise at the entrance to Disneyland Rio.
2. The Main Street Fire Station- Fireman-themed merchandise featuring your favorite DIsney characters.
3. The Harmony Barber Shop- Get a shave and a haircut here in this old-fashioned barber shop.
4. The Emporium- Mementos, toys, plush animals, Disney character merchandise, personalized gifts, ready-to-wear clothing, books, CDs, DVDs, and sundries.
