Animal Kingdom: The park with the biggest issues
* Give Expedition Everest a massive refurb and fix the yeti
* Give Dinosaur a major refurb and get all the effects and animatronics in working order
* Bulldoze Dinorama and put in a new dark ride or coaster
* Add a new land (China) would be cool pandas
* As much as I love Mickeys Jammin Jungle Parade this park desperately needs some new entertainment
Hollywood Studios:
* First thing Fanatasmic give it a Disneyland refurb the dragon, fountains, hd projectors and replace the Pocahontas scene with an original scene
* Replace that horrible parade Count Down to Doom with something like the old motor car parade
* To move the hat to either a new location or just burn it
* Give GMR a massive refurb new animatronics. Replace scenes like Tarzan and Footlight parade to something more relavent.
* Add more thing to Pixar Palce (not a full Carsland) maybe just the Racers. Take out Bscklot Tour and LMA and add the Monsters INC dark ride and an Incredibles rollercoaster

I'd say skip China (especially since there's one in Epcot and it wouldn't make much sense having one when there's already an "Asia"). Instead make a land called "The Poles" and have it representing animals from both the North and South Poles. So pretty much a cold weather animal land.

I posted this just about a year ago:

While I like the PotC ride, I think that so much more could be done to incorporate the immensely popular movie series and make it more the "E-ticket ride" that folks covet. I also think that TSI is a very under-utilized location in the park. In order to fix two things with one project, what I would do is reinvent PotC using the current TSI location (yes, I know that it doesn't go with the theme in that part of the park.....let's look past that). I would also use the MS model and have a green and orange version of the attraction. The green version of the ride would be very similar to the existing ride (for those that want to enjoy the "classic" attraction and so that kids and older folks can still go on it). The orange version would be much more of an intense ride and be themed more closely to the movies. I'd task WDI to come up with a vehicle that could be both a boat and for the orange ride, something that could be run on a roller coaster. The queues for the ride would be where the present TSI landing and Riverboat landings are located. The lower part of TSI could be redone be as Port Royal. The upper part could be made into Tortuga. The currently undeveloped land (aside from the MK railroad and cheesy Native American scene) to the north of the island could be made into Isla de Muerta or Pelegosto. Both the green and orange version of the attraction would go through the island for their dark elements. The more intense, roller coaster type aspects of the orange ride would have to be done on the newly developed area to the north of the island. After riding the attraction, both the orange and green would dump their guests onto the island. They would be able to explore both cities (Pirates League could also be relocated here). A sturdy suspension bridge would be built to connect guests back to the "main land" of MK (no more waiting and waiting to get a boat). The bridge would also allow guests to explore the two PotC cities and Pirates League without having to ride the attraction. Of course all of this would mean that the riverboats would not be able to circle the island any more but I think it would not break too many hearts if they were relocated to rides of Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake. Once completed, the old location of PotC could then be transformed into yet another thrilling dark ride.

If I was head of WDW...

From that day on, the official language of Walt Disney World would be Swedish. In addition to that, all Guests would be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear would be worn on the outside so we could check. Furthermore, all Guests under 16 years old would now be...16 years old!*

Magic Kingdom:
- Add Adventurer's Club to Adventureland
- change the bazaar to an entire Agrabah themed area including a magic carpet dark ride for Aladdin
- FIX. SPLASH. MOUNTAIN.
- revamp Tom Sawyer Island to Pocahontas, the fort will become the Virgina Co. fort, there'll be a Powatan Indian camp and plenty of playgrounds through tunnels and forests.
- i want to see more Diamond Horseshoe advertised and as a major restaurant in Fronteirland.
- retheme Liberty Square (not change it completely) to look more like New Orleans, and have Tiana's Palace as a sit-in restaurant service.
- Somehow add a Princess and the Frog dark ride, which can be entered through the restaurant.
- someone mentioned this idea, it's cool: build an area accessible underneath the pet cemetery in Haunted Mansion that takes to the "caretaker's village" or another extended graveyard where you can continue shopping and playing around with interactive tombstone and such. my idea is that you'll have access to a mausoleum of sorts and you'll be able to "dine in the crypt".
- fix up Peter Pan.
- Make an extension from New Fantasyland into an area called Storybook Land which is themed as a mixture of both Wonderland and Oz, bringing in new and old attractions: the Matterhorn, Alice's Adventure in Wonderland, Pinocchio's Daring Journey, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and the Storybook Land Canals, along with an attraction based on either the Wizard of Oz or Oz The Great and Powerful.
- In this Storybook Land area, also, will be the Mad Hatters Tea Garden, which would be located near the tea cups.
- retheme all of Tomorrowland to look like the Grid from Tron Legacy.
- take out Mike's Laugh Floor and put in a whole Wreck-It Ralph attraction.
- instead of taking out Stitch, make it a tag team between Stitch and the alien from AE and rename it "Alien Encounter" and center the attraction on getting either Stitch or his cousins or the alien and have your experience be based on who you get. it's random, the whole "you won't ride the same ride twice" thing.
- change the speedway to the Autopia Light Cycle Speedway.

Epcot:
- revamp Universe of Energy, make it more current and improve the animatronics.
- improve the ending to Spaceship Earth.
- i'd want to do more in Innoventions, make it much more interactive and reinforcing creativity. i wouldn't be focusing on it first though.
- improve the Land, make it much more of a hot spot with other things to do there.
- take out that jungle export area in World Showcase and expand WS from there, adding new countries Brazil, Greece, Egypt, Russia, Denmark, Spain, the Caribbean and Transylvania.
- i'm sure there's more i could do here, i just can't think of anything right now.

MGM:
*takes in deep breath*
- first of all i'd revamp Fantasmic so it has cooler pyrotechnics and digital technology. also update their list of movies represented in the show itself.
- add NextGen to rockin' Roller Coaster, someone made the suggestion and i thought it was cool.
- make the theater that has Beauty and the Beast bigger and make it the Sunset Boulevard Disneypolitan Theater, where smaller scale versions of Disney Broadway musicals play, including Beauty and the Beast, the Lion King, Mary Poppins and Tarzan, along with other special performances that happen every once in a while like Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Princess and the Frog, Hercules etc.
- take out the hat and make the theater the mascot.
- move the hat to a smaller scale and make it a centerpiece of Sunset Blvd.
- expand Animation Courtyard through Disney Animation and have the whole thing reduced to one building for that attraction and use the other building for a completely immerse new attraction that takes you into the world of Disney, much like Forbidden Journey meets Little Mermaid's dark ride.
- change Voyage of the Little Mermaid to something else. not sure what yet.
- take out Narnia and change it to a whole walkthrough/studio tour and meet and greet for ABC's 'Once Upon A Time'.
- expand Pixar Place to include Radiator Springs Racers, and Incredibles attraction, a Rataouille themed restaurant, a Monsters Inc dark ride/indoor coaster, Pixar meet and greet, Pizza Planet and change Honey I Shrunk the Kids to A Bug's Life playset thing.
- the Incredibles attraction would be a full E-Ticket attraction pushing technological advances for rides, with 4-D and Forbidden Journey-esque structure and stuff.
- move Streets of America up a few blocks (including Muppet Vision) and retheme the area to look like the set of Wizards of Waverly Place.
- speaking of which, you can have lunch in the sub station, and have a walkthrough the lair experience and such.
- Muppets would move and be given a huge beautiful new theater. i might change the actual footage, maybe not idk.
- in Streets of America i'd make accessible an in-park only Madame Tussaud's (it's a wax museum that makes extremely life-like full size wax figures it's really cool) which would have a story dedicated all to Disney wax figures, as in Disney characters.
- you'll enter a new and improved Backlot Tour through the redone SoA as well.
- a Sci-Fi movie land would begin with Star Tours and Mos Eisley Cantina.
- i'd move Alien Encounter to MGM to fit the Sci-Fi land and it'd be the original in its former glory. instead rethemed to be "Alien". it'd still be called Alien Encounter though. it'd get rid of Sounds Dangerous btw.
- something from a sci-fi horror movie would replace Indiana Jones.
- expand the Sci-Fi drive thru, make it one of the major restaurants next to Mos Eisley.
- Have a Sci-Fi characters (AKA mostly Star Wars) meet and greet, made to look like a sci-fi convention of sorts.
- take out American Idol and change it to either a Glee based entertainment or a Wipeout obstacle course where you go up against other contestants to become MGM's Guest of the Day or whatever.
- this way, the land becomes more exciting, there are much more rides now, we'd be making the best of what the layout offers and such it just sounds like a better MGM to me.
*exhales*

Animal Kingdom:
- first of all, discard Pandora as an option. the idea to have fantastical wildlife is a good idea. Avatar isn't.
- add an area in Africa dedicated to Lion King, a ride that allows you to explore the Pride Lands like it's a natural landscape that enters minor showbuildings that show scenes from the movie dark ride style. i'd call it Adventures in the Pride Lands or Simba's Adventure or something like those. also the Festival of the Lion King would be moved to this area.
- take out Camp Minnie-Mickey. the area will be used for different lands.
- on the far left side of Africa you'll enter the Australian Outback, focusing on Australian wildlife.
- go down and you'll find yourself in Jade Park, based off of U.S. National Parks Yellowstone and Bryce Canyon.
- Jade Park is a fictional area that will be given a backstory of being rich in jade mining. attractions in this area are a Pocahontas river adventure, a Bambi play area and a woodland creature petting zoo of sorts.
- go further down and you'll enter a Beastly Kingdom-esque land to showcase fantastical creatures.
- one of these includes a fortress/castle that takes you to a dragon-themed ride/coaster. most of the rest of available attractions will be kiddie-ride themed.
- on the other side of DAK, Dino-Rama will be removed from Dinoland. Dinosaur remains where it is, as well as the Boneyard. however the Boneyard will be adding more than just dinosaur bones, but bones from other ages and periods.
- Finding Nemo will be booted, or at least moved to Australia.
- Dinoland will become a land for everything pre-historic, not just dinos. it'll be called Pre-Historia, and it will look more like an outdoor conservatory for testing and such.
- a facility much like Dinosaur's will be made. inside will be about cavemen and the Ice Age and a ride themed to that exactly, similar to Dinosaur, but on a lesser scale it'll be more of a dark ride than a thrill ride.
- the building that was once Finding Nemo will be altered, to be called the Dome, where guests can learn more about the times of the dinosaurs and the cavemen, so and so forth.
- in front of Dinosaur will be a slow-moving river attraction that puts you up close and personal with dinosaurs. in fact all near that attraction will be picture opportunities with dinosaur statue figures.
- not sure what to replace Dino-Rama with yet.

Downtown Disney:
- continue with the plans to make Disney Spring.
- add Hyperion Wharf no matter the costs. it will surely bring in more money.
- take out Adventurer's Club and replace it with a nice little patio and cozy inn-styled restaurant.
- really i want what's left of Pleasure Island (which will be changed to the Traverse District) to look like this:
kingdom-hearts-05a.jpg


Other Stuff:
- bring back River Country.

i can't think of anything else, but if i do i'll try to edit my post here.

I have a few of my own ideas that I may post later. My only complaint is DO NOT GET RID OF MY WISHES >:( at least not yet...
I think it'd be cool to keep Wishes but make it like Disney Dreams in DLP. :)

If I was head of WDW I would Walk through different parts of the parks once a week dressed like a sweeper CM and listen to what the guests say about the parks, rides, resorts etc... No stuffy focus groups, no intimidating surveys, just what people would say to their families and friends while walking around. Oh, and give Tomorrowland a Fantasyland update with a Black Hole (1979) ride, but that's just me. :)

I'd make an account on forums like this and see what my core fans had to say. They're the passionate ones coming up with ideas and solutions and pointing out problems simply because they want it to be the best it can be.
