Death Valley - @Miru
Let it be known that Death Valley in CA is one of the most underrated places to visit in North America, and very hard to visit- placing a land like this in DCA is perfect to let visitors have the feel of what the desert is like before deciding whether or not to go there. While I wasn’t too convinced about a land themed to the desert, considering Cars Land also held that dna to it, the pure assortment of attractions that you talk about is full of potential. Illusion Mountain is seriously a very unique and really cool concept- is it a play on the idea of mirages and hidden places of the desert? A giga coaster for Disney sounds like huge fun, though it would be a bit hard to properly theme the coaster tracks- not too hard for a project of this scale. Again, there’s a great assortment of attractions and experiences, all while paying an ode to Native Americans. Great work!

Discovery Bay Hotel - @Disney Warrior
First impressions, you have me 100% hooked! I love Discovery Bay- it’s an invigorating and fresh concept that has been easily neglected and unused by Disney. But at this point in time, a land like that featuring no singular ip is realistically impossible, and any thought about it being a land is not happening. But a hotel, an experience unlike any other as you mention, sounds so amazing. The entire pitch, is a voila masterpiece- having it on the DCA plot to align with its “Californian” texture, creating a pool themed to none other than 20,000 LEAUGES, wowzers! I love love love love this idea (especially because I didn’t expect it to pop up in the prompt), and this shows that the armchair imagineering community seriously can come up with something unique. Figment’s long lost brother is seriously wild.

Disney’s Avengers Tower West Resort - @Solaris Knight
Suprinsingly, resort pitches in this round are starting to become my favorite, because they’re extremely flavorful and well-themed while also adding that “experience” value of living the world instead of visiting the world. An Avengers tower hotel is A+++, and the idea of again becoming a superhero is very tantalizing, but let me address the elephant(s) in the room: first, having the tower would be such an eyesore for sightlines all across the resort, especially if it can be seen from the parks, but in some ways it adds the hotel district’s city-like feeling. The second elephant, being the Galactic Starcruiser-inspired element, which we all know completely backfired on Disney… Everything else about this is wonderful, from the STARK easter eggs to the hotel rooftop- it’s such a uniquely Marvel experience that I would still pay a visit!
+1 Bonus - TRONNNN FOR DISNEYLANDDD
Pixar Water Park - @Brer Panther
Great idea! A fresh wholesome Pixar waterpark with a colorful, relaxing, and fun vibe is quite the winner of an, all while matching the hotel. That would kinda make the DCA area a bit too over-infused with Pixar though- still a good pitch! Short, simple, to the point.
Mythland - @Sneakman
Funnily enough, this Mythland concept is very similar to the DisneylandForward project from SYWTBAI (linked in the spectrum infor, if you want to check it out). An amalgamation of myths and stories becoming something more than a myth- something real, is a strong “Core” idea and your pitch continues to make it fresh. My favorite part of your pitch, aside from the FoP Hercules which sounds super goated, is the Paul Bunyan boat ride. It just feels strong in the way of having distinctly Americana charm, just like Frontierland, New Orleans, or Main Street, fulfilling the “fourth frontier” aspect of Disneyland. It sounds like an excellent opportunity to have a strong mix of American legend while we sail away in logs…
