Refurbishing Walt Disney World: Magic Kingdom

[s10127470]

For years, I’ve toying with doing theme park ideas, particularly involving ones that already exist.

And one of those ideas was a refurbishment of Walt Disney World.

Chances are most of you reading this haven’t heard the best things about the park over the last few years.

There’s a couple of reasons for that.

From the increased costs of things, to the RIDICULOUSLY long wait times.

But perhaps the biggest reason for the park’s downfall is because of its new focus on brand synergy.

There’s been a notable increase of rides and attractions based around popular IPs over the last decade of so.

And as a result of this, its lead to the parks making up Walt Disney World to lose their integrity and identity.

A while back, I watched this video by Poseidon Entertainment titled “How Disney Destroyed Education and Culture”.

It was a genuinely insightful watch, as it went over how much learning had factored into the identity of the Disney Parks.

And this was especially prevalent with Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom.

Epcot was dedicated to celebrating human achievement, particularly technology, and teaching visitors about the various cultures of our world.

Hollywood Studios was dedicated to teaching visitors about the world of film-making and celebrating the medium that was film.

And Animal Kingdom was dedicated to honoring the animals of our world, the animals of the past, and the animals of legend.

But over the course of the 21st century, many of the attractions that perfectly tied into the themes of the parks would be shut down and replaced with rides that not only tied into a notable IP, but also didn’t really emphasize the themes of the parks.

I think this discussion really came into play around 2023, when it was announced that DinoLand U.S.A, the area in Animal Kingdom dedicated to the animals of the past, would replaced with a South American themed-land.

On one hand, having a South American themed land does fit with the animal theming.

But on the other hand, it came at the price of the land that represented one of the three core fundamentals of the park.

This is made even worse with the fact that two of the highlights of this land would be an attraction based on Indiana Jones and an attraction based on Encanto.

I think out of all the parks, the one that definitely had it’s identity scrubbed the most would be Epcot, specifically with The World Showcase.

Literally most of the attractions there are IP based.

And while Magic Kingdom is definitely the least tainted of the parks, it’s still not exactly seen in the best light.

In addition to the reasons I stated earlier, along with the food there being really mediocre, there’s also the fact that it has less attractions when compared to the original Disneyland.

Plus, when it comes to the rides both parks share, the ones over in The Magic Kingdom are generally seen as inferior.

And with that being said, I’m officially planning on doing a Walt Disney World refurbishment series, where I share my ideas on how these parks could be updated to both be the best they can be and bring back their original soul and integrity.

And start this off, we’ll be looking at the very first park: The Magic Kingdom!

Initially, I did this last year in honor of the 70th anniversary of Disneyland on my Tumblr.

Which I know seems strange, but I think Disneyland is fine the way it is.

But I figured I'd share it here since this year will mark the 55th anniversary of the park.

Plus, The Magic Kingdom was created to be the East Coast equivalent of Disneyland.

First off, let's get these out of the way.

-The prices will be reduced to be more reasonable

-The wait times will also be decreased to be more reasonable

-The food will actually be good

For this refurbishment, there will be some changes made to the themed lands of the parks.

This refurbishment will also see the addition of two new lands.

Those being Toontown and Marvel's Superhero City.

 

[s10127470]

Starting this off, we have the very first land of the park, Main Street, U.S.A.!

The trip into the yesteryears of Walt Disney himself!

Overall, there’s not a whole lot to change about this land.

The theming, attractions, entertainment, restaurants and shops will remain the same.

But in terms of the changes…..

Main Street Cinema and The Penny Arcade will be brought back.

Main Street Cinema is a movie theater that serves as a rest area for visitors.

Here, they can watch a wide array of short films.

Including the silent films of stars like Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, the Silly Symphony shorts, and the classic cartoons of Mickey Mouse and all his friends.

You can even bring in your own food and snacks!

At The Penny Arcade, guests can play various games and entertainment machines from the turn-of-the-century including mechanical amusements like coin-operated kinetoscopes, shooting galleries, grip/strength testers, fortune-telling machines, stationary bicycles, mutoscopes, and phonographs.

A new form of entertainment would be added called Casey’s Stadium.

Being placed right next to Casey’s Corner, this would be a recreation of a turn-of-the-century ballpark, where guests can watch live baseball games.

All from air-conditioned stands!

Speaking of Casey’s Corner, that place will essentially be more of a buffet now, with the big highlight being able to top your own beef hot dogs, plant-based sausages, beef corn dogs, beef burger patties, veggie patties, nachos or fries.

The toppings bar consists of ketchup, mustard, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, cheese, beef chili, vegetarian chili, sweet relish, diced onions, tomato wedges, sport peppers, sauerkraut, pickles, crumbled bacon, American cheese slices, cheddar cheese slices, shredded cheddar, lettuce, sliced onions, tomato slices, caramelized onions, Swiss cheese slices, pepperjack cheese slices, bacon strips, taco-seasoned grounded beef, chicken and pork, shredded Monterey Jack, shredded lettuce, refried beans, diced tomatoes, white rice, jalapeno slices, brown rice, black beans, cheese sauce, salsa, sour cream and guacamole.

There’s also a treats bar with peanuts and different flavors of popcorn and pretzels.

For popcorn: buttered, Cracker Jack, kettle corn, chocolate, spicy, cheddar, cinnamon sugar and cotton candy.

For pretzels: salted, cheddar, sour cream and onion, garlic parmesan, pizza, jalapeno cheddar and cinnamon sugar.

And there’s a self-serving soda machine, consisting of Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Cherry Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Starry, Orange Fanta, Grape Fanta, Minute Maid Fruit Punch, Minute Maid Lemonade, and Barq’s.

The Main Street Bakery will now offer a wide variety of cookies, cakes, breads and pies.

And Plaza Ice Cream Parlor will feature a much wider array of ice cream flavors.

There’ll be a new shop called Pamper Pets.

Here, you can buy various items for your pets like toys, food and treats, beds, cages, grooming supplies, collars and other accessories.

You can also buy merchandising themed after Lady and the Tramp, 101 Dalmatians, and The Great Mouse Detective.

And finally for character greets, we’ve got The Sensational Six (who will all be in turn-of-the-century attire), Lady and Tramp (who will be done through puppetry) Pongo and Perdita, Cruella De Vil, Basil of Baker Street, and Casey.

 

[s10127470]

Next we look at arguably the heart of The Magic Kingdom, Fantasyland!

The land where fairy tales come to life!

Overall, this land wouldn’t really see any changes, apart from a few additions with entertainment and attractions.

However, there would be another sub-area added to this land.

But before we touch on that, let’s talk about those few additions.

Over in Castle Courtyard, a new form of entertainment will be added called The Festival of Fools.

Based off the one of the same from Disney’s very own: The Hunchback of Notre Dame, this festival would see colored costumed street performers putting on various comedic acts and dances for visitors to see.

Castle Courtyard will also see the return of the classic ride: Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride.

Guests enter a recreation of Toad Hall, passing by artistic works commemorating characters from The Wind in the Willows.

A large mural shows the adventures of Mr. Toad and his motorcar, foreshadowing various scenes in the ride. Guests hop aboard miniature early 1900’s-era multi-colored motorcars. The name of one of the characters from the film is inscribed on the front of each one.

Passengers begin their journey by crashing into Toad Hall’s library, where Angus MacBadger is seen teetering atop a ladder with a stack of books. They then careen through the fireplace, where fiberoptic effects simulate the scattering of embers on the floor. Narrowly avoiding a falling suit of armor, the passengers break through a set of doors to find the interior hallway of Toad Hall in disarray, as Weasels swing from chandeliers. Guests then enter the dining room, where Mole is eating at a dinner table and gets knocked aside.

Upon leaving Toad Hall, guests travel through the countryside, passing Ratty’s house, aggravating policemen, and terrifying a farmer and his sheep. Making a right turn, guests head for the docks and get the impression that their car will plunge into the river, but quickly make a sharp turn in a different direction and enter a warehouse full of barrels and crates containing explosives. Guests crash through a brick wall as the warehouse’s contents explode.

They then head out into the streets of London, avoid a close collision with a delivery truck and enter Winky’s Pub, where Winky the bartender holds two spinning beer mugs. He ducks down, leaving the mugs spinning in the air.

Passengers then enter the town square, where the cars wreak further havoc on the citizens. A working fountain featuring Mr. Toad and Cyril Proudbottom stands in the center of the town. Behind this statue is a statue of Lady Justice peeking out from under her blindfold. Next, guests enter a jury-less courtroom, where the riders are proclaimed guilty by a judge (based on the film’s prosecutor). The cars then enter what is presumed to be a dark prison cell before abruptly turning right and landing on railroad tracks. The cars bounce along the tracks in the dark before colliding head-on with an oncoming train.

Guests then arrive at the ride’s final scene: a tongue-in-cheek depiction of Hell not inspired by any scene in the movie or book. The entire room is heated and the scenery features small devils who wiggle up and down. A large devil, who resembles the Judge from the courtroom scene, emerges and points guests to the left (the devil’s/Judge’s right), indicating “redemption”. Near the end of the scene, a towering green dragon emerges and attempts to burn the riders to a crisp. A glowing light is seen in the back of its throat and we hear choking, coughing noises.

Granted the reprieve from the demon judge, the passengers eventually “escape” to the unload area, where they disembark.

And lastly underneath the icon of the land (and The Magic Kingdom in general) Cinderella Castle, being brought over from Disneyland Paris, is The Lair of the Dragon.

Here, guests can walk through a dark and eerie cavern, with the main centerpiece of it all being an Audio-Animatronic version of Maleficent in her dragon form.

Over at Storybook Circus, a new junior roller coaster would be added called Hooty’s Tunnel of Love.

Being an Audio-Animatronic ride, this attraction will feature the character of the same name from The Owl House recounting his many attempts at helping out various Disney couples.

The ride would showcase how they failed.

These would include…..

-Accidently swallowing Snow White while trying to kiss her, much to the horror of Prince Florian and The Seven Dwarfs.

-Transforming himself into a slipper for Prince Charming on Cinderella’s foot, much to their disgust.

-Accidently knocking out Aurora with a tree branch while trying to get her and Prince Phillip closer.

-Taking out Ariel and Prince Eric on a romantic boat ride while serenading them with his singing, annoying them both.

-Causing the chandelier of the ballroom to drop on Belle and The Beast.

-Blinding Rapunzel and Eugene Fitzherbert with a massive, insanely bright lantern.

-Playing matchmaker with Luz and Amity, much to the embarrassment of the former.

Storybook Circus would also see a new form of entertainment in the form of The Casey Jr. Circus.

Being set in an actual circus tent, guests can witness a wide array of performances.

These include trapezes, human cannonballs, clowns, tightrope walking, ballet, jugglers, magic shows, strong men, acrobats and fire eaters.

There’s also a new quick service spot called Carnival Cravings.

Modeled after carnival concessions stands, this spot serves popcorn, cotton candy, caramel apples, corn dogs, funnel cakes, sno-cones (comes in cherry, blue raspberry, green apple and lemon flavors), and elephant ears.

Over in Enchanted Forest, there would a new attraction called Rapunzel’s Tangled Boat Ride.

Here, guests can hop aboard gondolas like the ones from Corona and take a relaxing boat trip on the river that flows through Fantasyland: The Rivers of Magic.

On this ride, guests will get to see the many attractions that make up this land from a whole new point of view.

Not to mention landmarks from Tangled like The Snuggly Duckling, the dam, and yes, even Rapunzel’s iconic tower.

Finally, we come to the new sub-area of Fantasyland: Legends Lake.

The sub-area would be themed as a dense forest, with the centerpiece being a big lake in the middle of it.

And the forest would be filled with Will O’ the Wisps from Brave (represented via projections), monoliths representing the elemental spirits from Frozen II, and Grecian pillars.

This sub-area features three attractions.

The first is The Frozen Slopes.

Here, guests can slide down a 40-foot fun slide designed to look like the icy slopes of a snowy mountain.

Can you guess what movie this ride was themed after?

Next is Olympus Chariots.

Essentially being the Walt Disney World equivalent of Disneyland's Matterhorn Bobsleds (and being themed around Hercules), this ride would be set in an obviously scaled down replica of the legendary Mount Olympus.

Here, guests will hop aboard chariots and find themselves on a race through the ruins-filled caverns of Olympus, all while avoiding various monsters of Greek mythology.

These include the Erymanthian boar, the Nemean lion, harpies, Cetus, a minotaur, a griffin, a horde of gorgons, Nessus the centaur, a cyclops, and The Hydra.

And lastly there's The Sherwood Shooting Range.

Themed after Robin Hood, guests are taken to a shooting ranged used by the legendary outlaw.

Here, they can do target practice with bows and suction cup arrows.

For food, there's Gyro Wurld.

This Ancient Greek-themed restaurant specializes in Mediterranean food.

They’ve got pita bread, hummus, falafel, stuffed grape leaves, spanokopita, tzatziki, shepherd’s salad, tabouli, Greek salad, gyros (chicken, beef or pork), shish kebabs (chicken, beef or pork), French fries, basmati rice, baklava, tiramisu, olive oil cake, Turkish coffee, Turkish tea, lemonade, mint lemonade, and Pepsi products.

And lastly for shopping, there's Hero’s Guild.

Here, you can a buy wide array of toy weapons (including swords, spears, bows and arrows, knifes, shields, and tridents) and Disney Heroes merchandising.

Finally for character greets; we’ve got The Sensational Six (all dressed in fantasy attire here; with Mickey being a knight, Minnie being a princess, Donald being a wizard, Daisy being a fairy, Goofy being a villager, and Pluto being a dragon), Snow White, The Seven Dwarfs, The Evil Queen, Pinocchio, Jiminy Cricket, Mr. Toad, Cinderella, Lady Tremaine, Jaq and Gus, Aurora, Flora, Fauna and Merryweather, Maleficent, Ariel, Prince Eric, Ursula, Belle, The Beast, Lumière, Cogsworth, Gaston, Rapunzel, Eugene Fitzherbert, Mother Gothel, Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf, Dumbo, Alice, The Mad Hatter, The March Hare, The Cheshire Cat, The Queen of Hearts, Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Merlin, Arthur, Mad Madam Mim, Quasimodo, Esmeralda, Frollo, Hercules, Philoctetes, Megara, Hades, Robin Hood, Little John, Maid Marian, Prince John, The Sheriff of Nottingham, Merida, Luz Noceda, Eda Clawthrone and King.

 

[s10127470]

Now we’ve come to our third land, Toontown!

The home of Mickey Mouse and all his pals.

One major difference between this version and the one over in Disneyland is that this version of Toontown not only represent the classic Disney cartoons, but also the legacy of The Walt Disney Television Animation line-up.

The layout would be largely the same, except now with the addition of recreation of notable locales in various DTV shows.

These would include….

-McDuck Manor

-The Simpsons’ House

-Higher for Hire

-537 Avian Way

-The Eyrie Building

-Third Street School

In terms of attractions, all the ones over in Disneyland would be coming over here as well.

As for the ones unique to this version.

First there's Baloo’s Sea Duck Flight, a round up ride where guests seat themselves in a replica of The Sea Duck, which is then lifted off the ground and starts spinning.

Next there's Gargoyle Gliders, a carousel ride in the veins of Dumbo the Flying Elephant, where guests can hop aboard a member of The Manhattan Clan and use a special joystick to control how high or low they fly.

Then there's The Quirky-Worky Rollercoaster, a much bigger rollercoaster where guests can zoom by various scenes of Phineas and Ferb making some adjustments to the ride.

Next there's The Recess Playground, a replica of the schoolyard from the iconic show that serves as a play-area for little kids.

Second-to-lastly there's Tractor Tracks, being based on Big City Greens, where guests can race each other in their own tractors on a farm-themed racetrack.

And lastly, there's The Simpsons Ride.

Yeah in this timeline, the ride was taken from Universal Studios Florida and brought over here to Walt Disney World.

This land has only one form of entertainment in the form of Music Mania!

This will be an Audio-Animatronic concert, hosted by Jake Long (voiced again by Dante Basco) and Dr. Doofenshmirtz (voiced again by Dan Povenmire)

[s10127470]

Now we’ve arrived at our fourth land, Tomorrowland!

The living vision of our potential future.

Thanks to this refurbishment, this land would be split into two sub-areas.

The first sub-area is Cosmopolis, a futuristic metropolis.

There is where Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor, Tomorrowland Speedway, Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover,TRON Lightcycle/Run, Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress, Cool Ship, The Lunching Pad, Tomorrowland Terrace, and Tomorrowland Launch Depot will be located.

Tomorrowland Speedway will be receiving a more futuristic theming, with the cars being modeled to look like hover-cars of the future.

This sub-area will also see the return of Stitch’s Great Escape!

Another returning attraction is The Timekeeper.

However, in contrast to Stitch’s Great Escape, this attraction has some notable changes.

Those being the voices and the film.

The Timekeeper is now voiced by Jim Meskimen, while 9-Eye is voiced by Jennifer Hale.

As for the film itself, it’s quite different from the original, but there are some holdovers though.

9-Eye’s journey through time starts with her being sent back to North America in the year 66,000,000 B.C., where she has a close encounter with a Tyrannosaurus Rex, leading to a brief chase through a prehistoric forest.

9-Eye’s next destination is Europe in the year 35,000 B.C., where she come across a tribe of cavemen hunting a mammoth.

Soon after that, she ends in Egypt in the year 2484 B.C., witnessing the last stretch of construction of The Great Pyramids of Giza.

Next 9-Eye ends up in Rome in the year 50 A.D., where she gets to see a chariot race in action in The Circus Maximus.

Her next stop is The North Atlantic Ocean in the year 985 A.D., where she stumbles upon a Viking longship sailing through a nasty storm.

9-Eye then finds herself in Syria in the year 1271, where she witnesses The Krak des Chevaliers being overtaken The Mamluk Sultanate, fighting the forces of The Knights Hospitaller.

Her next stop ends up being England
in the year 1360, where she finds herself in the middle of a jousting tournament.

She next ends up in Mexico in the year 1500, in the city of Tenochtitlan, where she gets to see an authentic Aztec ball game.

9-Eye then heads to Japan in the year 1590, where He finds herself in the middle of The Siege of Odawara, narrowly dodging samurai warriors.

Next she ends up on The Caribbean Sea in the year 1700, where on the shores of a tropical island, she witnesses a pirate duel.

Then she finds herself in Tombstone, Arizona in the year 1886, where she gets to see the daily life of the town.

After this point, the ride plays out the same as it originally did, with 9-Eye ending up in 1900 Paris, France and meeting the legendary author, Jules Verne, at The Exposition Universelle.

Cosmopolis will also see a new attraction in the form of The New Urbem Museum of Superheroes.

Themed after The Incredibles, this attraction would be a walk-through museum dedicated to Supers, commissioned and funded by Winston Deavor and designed by Edna Mode.

Here, you can encounter life-size replicas of various supers, along with information on them, including their backgrounds and powers.

Among the supers represented here include Apogee, Blazestone, Brick, Downburst, Dynaguy, Everseer, Fironic, Gamma Jack, Gazerbeam, He-Lectrix, Hypershock, Krushauer, Marcoburst, Meta-Man, Phylange, Plasmabolt, Psycwave, Reflux, Screech, Splashdown, Stormicide, Thunderhead, Universal Man, Voyd, and yes, The Incredibles and Frozone.

Another new attraction will actually be a classic one from Disneyland: The House of the Future.

This Audio-Animatronic walk-through attraction will show guests what domestic life in the 22nd century could be like.

This would include a garage full of hover-cars, televisions that project holographs, special pills that can become full course meals with either a single drop of water or a special rehydration machine, staircases that act like escalators, bedrooms that can become whatever it’s owner likes, a bathroom that’s a borderline mini spa, and a patio with an anti-gravity grill and pool.

The only form of entertainment is also found here: DJ Daft Duck’s Dance Party.



Here, here you can jam out to electronic tunes, all played by the aforementioned DJ Daft Duck.

These tunes come from the likes of Skrillex, Calvin Harris, The Chainsmokers, Zedd, Daft Punk, and many more!

The second sub-area is Space Port, an intergalactic space station.

There is where Astro Orbiter, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, Space Mountain, Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies, Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe, The Buzz Lightyear Ship, and Star Traders will be located here.

This sub-area will also see the return of ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter.

And lastly, there’s another addition from Disneyland: Alien Pizza Planet.
