Just got home from a 4 day trip to DisneyLand Paris, not been since pre Tower of Terror, so quite a while back. Was quite young when I last went though, so quite difficult to compare it, but I can compare it to California and Orlando as I've more recent experience. Still really impressed with the Magic Kingdom Park, the castle, the dragon, my favourite Space Mountain and my favourite Big Thunder Mountain. So much to love about the park, and the weather was beautiful which was of course a massive bonus. Paris Magic Kingdom is deffinatly a gem in the Disney portfolio, I even loved the HyperSpace Mountain retheme, added a new element of suprise. Great all round.
Studios, meh. Toy Story Land was really well thought out, Ratatouille area was beautiful, lovely market stalls, a real taste of Paris...in....well Paris. Ride itself was above average, not spectacular, but very different if you've never experienced a ride like that, will make a great addition to Epcot. Rest of the park, jeez, what an absolute mess. It needs sorting, and fast. You could easily do the park in half a day, and if it wasnt for the stunt show, we would have left after 1 in the afternoon. So left the studios feeling more dissapointed than impressed.
The Village seemed quite lively, World of Disney Store is INCREDIBLE. Such a stunning building inside, and despite it being rammed, due to the structure being so high, it never felt cramped. And with Oktoberfest on, there was a real nice buzz about the place, very impressed.
Onto the topic though, there are deffiantly massive changes needed. Whilst I love the Magic Kingdom Park, not much has changed in quite some time. Deffinate things need changing are, Indiana Jones needs replacing with either the real attraction or something else. Get rid of the Casey Jr coaster and the boat ride, replace it with Seven Dwarves Mine Train. Futher down the line I beleive that Splash Mountain would be suitable, I know the arguments been done to death regarding the weather, but I think it would be popular.
As for the Studios, well God knows, its a mess overall, Studio Tram Tour is rubbish, scrap it and free up some room. Id say add extra theming to Toon Studio, make it feel more enclosed. Areosmith area, maybe have it as a Special Effects studio, again would need more theming. Marvel rumor being thrown about sounds awesome, not a half a***d job though, a large area with some unique attractions. Then I'd go as far as to say expand Toy Story Land, and consider a full sized Avatar Land. Massive amounts of money would need to be thrown into this park, and it needs to take priority over the Magic Kingdom.
And the Village, it seems to be on the right track, dont really think anymore needs to be added in the near future. Although Planet Hollywood is still crap.
Sorry for the long comment, but I, like everyone on here have all the solutions.
Lets hope we begin to here some amazing things for the resort over the coming months.
