Ahhhhhh, World Showcase. I love it!
It's a shame there's no Ip's that can be used for Canada, that is the country that needs it the most.

Re-do: Liberty Square
The only thing I can come up with is Professor Layton Square. Based on the Professor Layton games.

There would have to be some exterior work done for the current buildings, if a World Showcase expansion happened. Because it probably looks like a plain back alley in the back area. Like you might see in a studio backlot.

Fun fact: those pictured animatronics actually originally came from the Mickey Mouse Revue from TDL (originally WDW)
Re-Do: La Cantina San Angel (quick service)
La Caballeros Cantina
This new version of the quick service will feature the animatronics from the former “Grand Fiesta Tour”. They will take to the stage and entertain the patrons in grand style. Similar to what Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe does at Magic Kingdom with Sunny Eclipse. But this time you have the Three Amigos singing different Mexican style tunes with occasional comedy in between.

I've never been to the Mexico quickie, it has weird hours for the indoor seating area. I only go at night to Epcot and I believe the indoor part closes at 2:30pm. Also I don't like eating outside, there's too many annoying birds in the world... showcase.

I would like to see Coco in Epcot, but rumors are saying it might go in MK and/or AK.

Incredicoaster retheme:
Wicked Screamin’
A revival of some of the aspects of California Screamin not preserved on Incredicoaster, but still keeping the IP focus, shifting it to be based on the discarded retheme planned for circa 2012 (it doesn’t really fit the “Pixar” theme, but nobody likes that theme anyway due to how badly it was executed, not to mention how the Pal-a-Round (or as it should be called, the Color Wheel) has Mickey on it. The ride is more elaborate compared to the original concept plans, which is to say it starts off looking like an authentic woodie in the queue, but darkness slowly reveals itself little by little as you progress through, into Ursula’s jaws (complete with the smell of shrimp), past Randall Boggs looking for a scare (a figure based on his extant one, meant to be more about making him seem invisible than elaborate motion, his teeth are opaque), aside a figure of Hopper that you can throw bean bags into the mouth of, under a trap Ratigan has set for unfortunate riders, into abandoned Syndrome technology, through gloomy corridors with ominous mosaic art of villains, even seeing a clock that counts down to “Bugday” (the start of the Oogie Boogie Bash), giving the ride some sort of practical function. Board a coaster train themed to Shere Khan, Scar, the Hyena Trio, Kaa, Negaduck, or the Queen of Hearts, each armed with a SOBAT sound system, comfortable restraints, and even rocking cars (like in SDMT, but more intense due to the loop), before engaging the course. Of course, Grimhilde, the one who started it all, starts you off, launching riders into Chernabog’s jaws as the terror begins, now a more enclosed terror than before, yet still seeming like a woodie. Malificent’s dragon form, Jafar’s cobra form, and the naturally serpentine Randall form the other “Scream Tunnels”, which now contain projections and flashing lights, and you also zoom past audio-animatronics of Cruella, Oogie Boogie, Hades, Dr. Facilier, and Yzma on your way. For the Oogie Boogie Bash, the ride remains the same… except now it’s in total darkness, with the animatronics and sound made even creepier due to the lack of light.

Ahhhhhh yesss, we miss you Maelstrom. I actually think Frozen is a better ride, but I don't think we had to lose what we had. Disney World has plenty of space, we could have had both.
What I’m not redoing is a retheme, but updates given to attractions. Closest thread I could get to my idea.
PIRATES OF THE CARRIBIEN: The auction scene
I know we all aren’t Gaga for “ten for a hen”, but I think the rum bit could work if expanded on. Here’s my pitch: Redd and the auctioneer are trying to run an auction of stolen good, with valuable things like paintings, furniture, livestock, jewelry, all being mentioned by the pair. But the pirates in the audacience have little interest. All they want is Rum! They makes cracks about the things being offered like in the original scene : “will I take it? that depends, do the eggs have liquor in em?” “Nice table, better to put me rum on!” “That painting ain’t worth the scud on my boot! Now the rum, now that’s an artistic masterpiece!” (I’m not the best at writing jokes like these). Then Redd Chimes in, saying that they’ve had enough, while the pirates respond in retaliation : “aw come one, one more sip” “I plunder better when I’ve had a few!” “No rum! Whats the point of pirating then?”. They then begin to chant “we wants the rum!” Ala “we wants the redhead”, until red fires a shot, calms them down, scene repeat. I’m not the best at writing these jokes, but they’re only a proof of concept. A better actual imagineer would probably have better Jokes than what I have. My idea was the keep the same structure as the og, but update the content of the joke for modern times. Also “we wants the rum” would def sell merch.
edit; I have decided to do my own full “country bear musical jamboree rewrite”. This will be kidna close to a script in some parts, so it will be long

This is a long one, so sorry.
While I do like the country bear musical jamboree, I do think it could’ve been better, even if it keeps the soul of the bears. And I’m going to challenge myself: it still all has to be Disney songs in the main portion of the show.
COUNTRY BEAR MUSICAL JAMBOREE: THE SNEAKMAN CUT.
The show begins with Buff, Max and Melvin telling Henry to hurry up, just as they have for years and years before.
Max: “Hey Henry, let’s get on with the show, he can’t hang around here all day”
Max: “be paitent, takes a little doing”
Melvin: “were kinda hung up here”
Speaker tricks makes it sound like Henry is speaking from behind the audience. He says “take it easy boys, we’re ready to start.” Through the magic of audio, Henry “walks down to the stage”. As he walks by, we hear henry mutter to himself “the nerve of some people”. Henry then says “gimmie a little intro there Gomer, and then gives out his intro. Then, he welcomes on the five bear rugs, and he and them sing a uptempo, “Bear band serenade reminiscent” version of “bear necessities”.
Then, Trixie comes on. She begins to sing the opening verses of “I won’t say I’m in love”, but then buff max and Melvin burst in, saying that she’s been doing this routine for years, and she can’t hide her true feelings. Trixie sings Meg’s parts, while the three trophy heads sing the muses part in a way of chastising trixie.
Kiss the Girl stays the same.
The Three Sun Bonnets sing “someday my Prince will come”, with the slideshow being showing one of the three trying to woo a male bear, but getting denied. Every time on the slideshow, the romantic gesture gets comically bigger and bigger until it is very much overkill, with a humorous rejection every time to boot.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocoius with stays the same as It is during the show.
Shaker and Wendell labeled as “the mineral kings”, with max remarking they “sound better than they look”. They sing a jaunty version of “you’ve got a friend in me” in a Duet, with buff, max and Melvin doing background vocals. Shaker is wearing a furry hat, and at the end of the song, a skunk pops out and sings the final “you’ve got a friend In me”. As the lights go down, we hear Shaker and Wendell scramble offstage to get away, crashes to boot. At the end of the crashes, we hear shaker remark, “well, that’s the end of that suit”
The “spotlight over here Rufus” bit from the opening from the real show happens here, but then Teddi Barra descends, with the three trophy heads cheering her on. Teddi sings rainbow connection. Henry joins In halfway through, and they sing the end part together. They then have the fan favorite “soon as I get a ladder” dialogue.
We hear a twang. Then a second twang. Out comes big Al. The then belts out “remember me” in the only way big al can, while crying all the way through. Once he gets to the final verse “until your in my arms again” he breaks down, saying he can’t go on, and beginning to cry. Melvin says “those poor curtains!” Henry then chuckles to himself, saying that “we’ll remember THAT performance for a long time”. Buff then retorts saying, “speak for yourself, I want to forget it!”
Henry then remarks that through good times and bad times, the bears are a family, and always stick together. He then sings the first first of “if I didn’t have you” with max interjecting with the “no way” on the handsome line. The second verse is rewritten to be about how the bears would “give it all away” to sing one more tune together. Each of the different acts sings a different line from the show on their own, with everyone singing together on the final few “I wouldn’t have nothing if I didn’t have you”’s.
Then big Al comes out again with “blood on the saddle” once everyone is done singing, with buff max and Melvin commanding Henry to get him off the stage, and how he’s had us turn. As he sings the last part of blood on the saddle, a prop cane slowly slides across his stage, with the Curtians closing, and a crash sounding after he finishes (I couldn’t help
Myself, sorry). Henry then says their one big happy family, thanks for coming, then come again plays.
This is a concept of what I would do. I tried to make it still true to the original show, and keeping what the current show did well, while rearranging some acts for better humor, and to fit in more time for some new acts I came up with.

I was actually surprised too that I liked it. Usually I dislike a lot of what Disney is doing nowadays. A blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes I suppose.

Oooooooo, nice pics.
I never really cared for Maelstrom, but it would have been cool as a concept for a much better version.

I always wanted more attractions in Epcot. It's a haul in the morning no matter what entrance you're coming into to get to an attraction.

There's no way they'll do an expansion at Epcot. They don't even want to put rides in half the countries.

Lotus Blossom is pretty good. It doesn't get much love and is called "ordinary mall chinese" but I like it. I love Mall chinese food though, so I'm not much of a critic.

I love Chinese History, so it would be cool if the resort could build upon that.
