This would be why KH would make sense in WDW. It could work as just add on to previously existing attractions with characters guests already recognize. Still it makes more sense in Tokyo where KH merchandise is sold in the parks already and they could actually do it right.
Maybe have some sort of Key blade product that you could sell in a store in the park (and have customizable versions and charge some ridiculous price, Disney could make quite alot off those things) and have it taken on rides with you and using that Key blade would cause stuff to happen in the ride...It doesn't seem so far fetched because it doesn't hinder your enjoyment of attractions if your not into KH and makes it fun for the fans. Just saying is all.

And randomly during the ride the cars stop as a random creepy voice says this in pitch blackness:
"Our worlds are dying, but we are but a blip on the heart of the world, the darkness will never die. Raging battle take place within the master of the universe, while the children in the park play innocently and grandparents wish they were young again. What is the world but a giant canvass for your heart to give in to the darkness... NAY A WOO TEY HOOOOPLAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"
Then, a random black demon comes out of the floor and Donald and Goofy start fighting it. A small child in the car who just got his first pair of mickey ears starts crying in fear.
Yeah... not gonna happen.

Even thought I doubt the "plans" will ever be more than just that ... being the Big Ol' Kingdom Hearts fan I am I'll keep hope.
I've never understood why there is basically no Kingdom Hearts products at all at WDW. I cannot tell you how much I would pay for a Mage Donald Big Fig (I can tell you it's a lot more than the $200-$300 I've spent on my four other Big Figs). I'd squee in fangirlish delight for some decent tshirts, jerseys or jackets. Heck, I'd settle for a 10-14 inch Mage Donald plush; my little Heartless plush would have a fiend then. I know I'm not alone, I once ran into a group of people (about 8 or so) pretty frantically looking around the Japan pavilion shops in search of the slightest hint of anything Kingdom Hearts related and failed miserably.
I guaranty that WDW would get a few more hundred dollars (at least) out of me if they could produce some good Kingdom Hearts items.
... HOOPLA!

And I got the Pics to prove it
...Sora & Donald
But, The chances are really really slim...If they do release the Upcoming releases of the 3 new games
Kingdom Hears Birth By Sleep (PSP)
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days (Nintendo DS)
Kingdom Hearts Coded (Mobile Phone)
There's a possibility the characters would return...But nothing else sadly.
I'm also decorating my window at Pop with A WDW Kingdom Hearts theme this year.

To echo everyone else, as big a fan as I am of Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, and as much as I would want to experience some kind of KH-themed attraction, I don't see it being in the theme parks in a major way right now.

You know, we had this same discussion what, 6-9 months ago? Please remember that y'all (the fans) represent a miniscule amount of the people that play video games. And go check your game sales figures. Compared to a very long list of other games, KH, as a franchise, just isn't that big a deal. Don't really want to be negative but I'm thinking the suits who make the decisions have a lot more/better ideas that appeal to an extremely broad segment of the park-going public. It's not about hitting the niche market crowd (depth) but the breadth customer.

Very true. This is a capitalist society and with 3 new KH games around the corner, I am a bit surprised that Disney hasnt done anything to capitalize on KH. Well except a lonely corner in One Mans Dream

I'm sorry but I don't see Wall-E being a franchisable character. The movie did well, but I don't think he's going to have a big enough following where Imagineering could pull off an entire land about him.
This is complete conjecture.

You know 'Kingdom Hearts 2' was the #2 selling game the year it came out .. only behind Madden .. right ?

Wall-E features a ruined Earth and spaceship full of fat, immobile people. How could all of Tomorrowland be re-themed to that tomorrow?

While that's true and I'd LOVE to see a themed land around Disney/Square Enix characters, there are some franchises that are MUCH bigger and have never had any themed lands built around them....in fact the only vaguely video game related theme park attraction I can think of is the one Tomb Raider attraction at the Paramount parks and that was after 2 successful movies came out.

Possibly. I'm thinking more of overall figures over time. Look at the total sales figures at http://vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php and see where the KH games fall relative to other big names.
