- In the Parks
- No
Welcome folks! Disney Enchanted Kingdom is a Disney park that I've been imagining more or less since 2011, conceived as an “Italian” version of Disneyland around the world. I bet that most enthusiasts have wondered what a [your state/country] would have looked like. So that's what I did, too.
Still I chose to make it at least a bit different from the Paris sister. Say, this would be a park in an alternate universe where Disneyland Paris is getting 20+ million guests a year.
All attractions are inspired by Disney animated classics or Mickey and his friends. This is because as a small kid visiting Disneyland Paris I thought almost everything were actually were linked to Disney classics (I thought Pirates of the Caribbean told in fact the adventures of Captain Hook and so on). Some attractions (marked with ***) already exist, while others are original ideas.
I didn't particularly focus on shops and food outlets.
This is an article that will be updated as new ideas arise. It is to be considered "work in progress".
At the beginning of the garden there is a small Art Nouveau-style train station. Here you can board Casey Junior, the train from Dumbo.
At the end of the garden there is a round square overlooked by a castle. From this square, roads branch off leading to the other areas of the park (with the exception of Villains' Territory, the only area not accessible via the central hub).

Areas and Attractions
The Gardens of Fantasy
After a "tunnel" through a hill we find a long Italian garden with two "pairs" of rectangular pools of water that frame a large central pathway. Along the sides of the garden there are rows of trees that hide Renaissance-style and neoclassical buildings. These buildings contain shops and dining venues. On the right side there is also a scaled reproduction of the Dome of the Florence Cathedral.At the beginning of the garden there is a small Art Nouveau-style train station. Here you can board Casey Junior, the train from Dumbo.
At the end of the garden there is a round square overlooked by a castle. From this square, roads branch off leading to the other areas of the park (with the exception of Villains' Territory, the only area not accessible via the central hub).

Adventureland
It's the largest area, it takes up almost all the space to the left of the park. It can be divided into “micro-areas”: Arabic (from Aladdin), a part inspired by The Emperor's New Groove (with Kuzco's Palace), medieval (Robin Hood, Seven dwarfs).- Arabian Nights - Aladdin's Adventure (dark ride with suspended vehicles) *
Hop on a flying carpet and take flight to discover Aladdin's story.

Fantasy Realm
Cinderella's Castle is the entrance to this area. Around a large lake (The Little Mermaid Lake) there are buildings inspired by fairy tales. A huge cuckoo clock dominates the left side. In the "upper" part there is the Snuggly Duckling Tavern with a tower behind it (Rapunzel: Escape from the Tower) and the entrance to Belle's Enchanted Journey. On the right, two small peninsulas overlook the lake and host the small rides dedicated to Alice in Wonderland and Dumbo.There is also a Casey Junior station and access to The Flight of Peter Pan.- Cinderella's castle + Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo gallery (interactive walkthrough) *

Villains' Territory
Accessible from the Fantastic Realm and Space Expo through steam punk-style portals that look like gears, two entrances to a sort of factory whose walls are covered with brambles. The area is indoors and it feels like it's always night time. On the right from the entrance from Fantastic Realm there is a small lake with a wrecked ship (Hook's plan). On the left is the De Vils' manor. Proceeding clockwise we find the Bald Mountain (just scenery), the castle of The Horned King (The Hunger of the Black Cauldron) and the access to The Curse of the Headless Horseman.- Hook's Plan (family water roller coaster - the ride crosses with Peter Pan's Flight) *

Space Expo
With the googie style from the 40s and 60s this is a futuristic area, but with a vintage flavor. A future imagined in the first half of the twentieth century is depicted here. The attractions are housed in showy pavilions with the most peculiar shapes.- Meet the Robinsons - Louis's Incredible Adventure (interactive dark ride with 4D screens)
Help Louis defeat the robotic bowler hats that have invaded the world.
