This is a very nice hand. May not be a complete response, but it's a very nice drawing of a hand. I like to picture a festival full of Purell and hand lotion. Maybe they can sell souvenir gloves
I really like the idea of a heritage festival. Really fits the World Showcase. Perhaps a bit too well. This is another festival where I feel like a lot of it should just be a part of the park rather than a special festival. Especially the parade! There's no reason that parade you described shouldn't be there right now imo.
This feels like a great companion to the marathons and great different idea for a festival! I like how it sorta brings back a part of Wonders of Life. That's a nice touch. Overall a really good balance of realism and creativity.--Fitcot--
(January 1st - 31st)
Stationed in the former Wonders of Life Pavilion and running during the month of January (1st - 31st) will be the Fitcot Festival - a celebration of health and wellness, bringing back health themes to the now Festival Pavilion. Inside there will be areas for healthy eating (a sort of healthy Food and Wine Festival) fitness tips, aerobic futuristic equipment, and the latest health breakthroughs on display. These events will parallel the Disney Marathons taking place during the month of January as well, which will now feature a "Walk Around The World" Challenge: 10 laps around World Showcase in honor of healthy living, run every day in January as part of the festival. Challenge victors will receive an exclusive Epcot pin and shirt for their accomplishments. Overall, this new festival will not only call back to the days of old in Epcot Center, but offer something new and "healthy" for guests to experience.
Shoot I should have clarified it was supposed to be mostly from 8/9am - 11am when World Showcase isn't open to guests
But Future World is. Good catch!
Probably the most odd ball idea here haha. I like this though. I love the idea of the festivals being something special and different than what the park always offers. This might be a bit too put there, but if it's done well I could see it being a classic. Some might have a problem with outside IPs in Epcot. For something like this in ok with it myself.Hasbro's Festival of Family
The wonders of life pavilion is turned into a refreshing lounge where families can play their favorite board games and just relax from the excitement of the parks. For one week, a new show is presented in the World Showcase Lagoon called "Risk," in which each of the countries navies go head to head to conquer the lagoon. There is a different result every time. Also new stations around the park sample "homely cooking" - stuff the average family consumes.
After three years of this festival- Hasbro sponsors a new pavilion to replace WoL, dedicated to the the family.
I really love this! Story telling is so much at the heart of what Disney is about as well as a huge part of culture. And there are so many creative ideas here that also seem very realistic. Overall a really phenomenal submission!Festival of StoriesOne of the things that brings the world together are stories; stories tell the lore, the myth, and the wonder of a culture often fraught with lessons and morals.
This new festival will encompass both Future World and World Showcase with each land telling a different story in a different way; China will tell their story using shadow puppets, the African Outpost will have a Griot playing a kora, and Morocco will have a zajal (poetry slam).
In Future World, the closed Innoventions will be converted into a interactive story experience where kids and adults alike are invited to create their own stories through a choose your own ending style adventure using technology to "suck" guests into the book.
At the Festival Center, guests can meet new up and coming and armature authors (who are invited to sell their books), take seminars on how to craft a story, a Q & A with a guest author (a new author will be scheduled every week), and kids can sit down with the Librarian for story time.
One of the highlights of the festival, is a giant book station where guests can write an ending to a story from the previous day, and if their ending is picked, it will be displayed at Innoventions for the duration of the festival; a new unfinished tale will appear daily to give guests a chance to express their creativity.
Bonus: This festival can be translated to Paris, Hong Kong, and Tokyo as well, but instead of different cultures telling their stories in a unique way, each park will have a tale specially made for each land that will evolve the mythology and backstory of that land. Guests are invited to vote each day on how the stories will change.
Ok lol, that makes sense. It's easy to miss details like that when you only have 5 sentences hahaShoot I should have clarified it was supposed to be mostly from 8/9am - 11am when World Showcase isn't open to guests
I actually did a marathon here. The final two miles are through Epcot when it's fully open. It was an experience. I saw runners stop for beer and wine, bringing it with them across the finish line.I can see it now -- Out of the way!! I'm running a marathon!
Haha that's hilariousI actually did a marathon here. The final two miles are through Epcot when it's fully open. It was an experience. I saw runners stop for beer and wine, bringing it with them across the finish line.
I've always wanted to do the marathons at Disney!
I highly recommend them. They have shorter distances too like 5K and 10K, and half marathons. If you ever do the dark side challenge at Disney World, let me know, I always do that one.Haha that's hilarious
The Dark Side sounds like fun!I highly recommend them. They have shorter distances too like 5K and 10K, and half marathons. If you ever do the dark side challenge at Disney World, let me know, I always do that one.
And I would probably do the smaller races because running and me don't usually end well 
The smaller races are definitely more fun. A lot of people dress in costumes and there's a lot of character meet and greet along the race route. My mom's 70, and she does the 5K races with me.The Dark Side sounds like fun!
Good for her! If she does it, I have no excuseThe smaller races are definitely more fun. A lot of people dress in costumes and there's a lot of character meet and greet along the race route. My mom's 70, and she does the 5K races with me.
, a really cool festival. Maybe it would help me finally start that diet I've been trying to start for the last roughly... let's see...how old am I? About that long haha
Thanks! This challenge was definitely a prime example of how creative people can be when given the same prompt.Congrats everyone and Figment for the win!
Sorry, I couldn't finish last round's, but I'm working on an 8-Page Research PaperPrompt 3-Scenario-
It's time to play the music...
The Muppets have been an enduring and beloved part of pop culture for decades! It makes sense that Muppetvision 3-d wasnt always meant to be the only Muppets attraction in WDW. At one point a Muppets Studio land was planned for Hollywood Studios! That never happened though.
Well, thanks to Star Wars Land causing most of the Streets of America to be demolished, Muppets finally has its own land! Made up of the remnants of the streets and the area around Muppetvision, Muppets Courtyard was born! But the 3d movie and a rethemed pizzeria dont really make a full land.
-Challenge-
Armchair Imagineers, your challenge is to finish Muppets Courtyard. Add a ride or a show or a walkthrough or another restaurant. Whatever you see fit. Turn this patch of leftovers into a proper Muppets land!
-Rules-
You may use between 1 and 5 sentences and up to 2 pictures. The deadline will be at 10 PM on Thursday, January 26th.
Also, you must keep the Muppets involved and the general location in the park. Beyond that, no restrictions.
-Bonus-
Disney loves to take everything they build and build it again somewhere else. As a bonus, you may use 1-2 additional sentences to describe where you would add a clone of your land (or a part of your land) to one of the other Disney Parks around the world.
The bonus is mostly just for fun and will only effect judging if two ideas are equally good and I need a tie breaker OR if the bonus is exceptionally well done.
-tips-
K.I.S.S - Keep it simple, silly. Try not to over complicate or over think things too much. Focus on the big picture. Don't miss the forest for the trees. All that good stuff.
-Judging Criteria-
Is it creative?
Is it realistic?
Does it fit thematically/visually?
Good Luck everyone! Have fun! Go create!
As always, anyone is welcome to join in. Newcomers, veterans, anyone who wants to propose an idea!
. Thanks so much for the HM really appreciate it!
It's alright lol.Sorry, I couldn't finish last round's, but I'm working on an 8-Page Research Paper
I got this one though
