texas would be smart,
wouldn't have to deal with other countries governments,
temperate climate so could be open year round
would lessen crowds to a point on the other parks (which would draw more guests to all three as some people are tired of the crowds)
attract people who don't want to fly
attract people who cant afford to travel to either coast
lots of population closer to it than the existing parks
wont be wiped out when the ocean rises or an earthquake (in 50 years we might not have a Disney park in the US)
(only Yellowstone super volcano would potentially destroy and the likelihood of that happening is very tiny and would destroy half the US anyway...)

UK and Germany are too close to Paris. It'd be like putting a park in Atlanta with Orlando so close by.
With the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia opening up to tourism, think out of the box, and into the desert. Either KSA or the UAE could support the next Disney parks complex.

That's about as similar to having so many Six Flags & Cedar Fair parks so close from each other...

They could build in Vancouver. That has a fairly temperate climate, but, it is in the ring of fire area. Virtually anyplace else in Canada would have to short a season to support a Disney Park. There is a difference between occasional snow and look you can see the top of the castle sticking out through that snow drift.

Brazil or Korea would be my guesses.

Nothing says 'focused on growth' like trying to clone your product as much as possible...
It's an Iger quote. A response to an analyst's question during the earnings call.
Not saying I disagree.

Building one in Brazil would certainly solve one particular WDW issue... 
The Saudis are specifically lobbying Iger for a Disney Park. Iger is putting them on hold. Which is wise. As much as Saudi Arabia is 'opening up' it's still Saudi Arabian culture in which a big chunk doesn't want any non-Muslim presence in the country. And just like a soft coup opened up SA, another coup, or rebellion, can close it.
Iger also said in the interview any brand new location is years away. IOW, not his problem. Which means that it will be the next CEO's decision to make.
Korea and India (Mumbai) are the next logical choices.

I love Canada, heck I am Canadian myself and have lived here my whole life. I can't see that ever happening. Texas sounds good and Tennessee is another good location. Canada is just too cold. Yes Vancouver is one of those rare places in Canada that doesn't get the snow so much but it is just like Seattle. It rains all the time. I don't mean a "tropical rain" like in Florida where it rains hard for an hour and then that's the end of it for the day. I just mean a normal, miserable rain. This is why Major League Baseball isn't out there. Plus, the temperature wouldn't be the best. It can still get cold enough to the point where you'd want the park closed.
I am not for expansion right now as there is a lot of things they can do in WDW.

Did you watch WWE's Greatest Royal Rumble from the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah? WWE's women weren't allowed to perform and women in the audience weren't allowed to attend without a chaperone. I can't imagine Disney accepting the PR risk of aligning with a culture like that.
