I did Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios in the same day. I did a lot than a person would expect.

Disney recognizes that MK has more to offer that's why we pay more for it. I expect to shell out more for HS when it gets STWL and TSL and more for AK once Pandora opens. The only thing that saddens me is that I see nothing on the horizon for Epcot that would warrant a price bump.

For years this has been on the table at DCA and now DHS but nothing ever domes out of it. I guess it's too much to ask for a door coaster and a nice dinner at Harry Hausen's. I wouldn't mind a ride and go seek in the American parks too, but i guess we'll have to settle for the laugh floor...

A ride and restaurant wouldn't be out of the question. Just not a whole city block.

Might be a good fit for animation courtyard once toystoryland and starwarsland are opened.

It'd be really nice to get the door coaster and Harry Hausen's as a replacement to Animation Courtyard. Then an Indy mini land over at Echo lake. Not as amazing as we could've had but still not too shabby.

Make it more of a mix and have Gusteau's as the restaurant.

My favorite idea is to have Animation Courtyard as the new Pixar Place. Make it just a couple of pixar titles at first, but there's always expansion room behind it for more titles if they ever wanted to do more.

Something along the lines of the Ratatouille area at Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris?

Well, that's unfortunate. I do think that a properly done Monstropolis -- on the scale/quality level of Cars Land -- would have been an awesome addition and really balanced out the park. I've long proposed that it would be a great IP to add to DHS.
Hopefully, as you have mentioned, we'll at least get maybe a mini-land regarding Monsters Inc, like a ride and a Harry Hausen restaurant (and I suppose the requisite M&G).

I think there is a real value to more generic lands over the immersive single IP ones. Yes, the latter allow you to really recreate iconic settings, but the downside is that they are limited in growth and run the risk of the base IP becoming unpopular over time. A more generic "Pixar Place" with different IPs would be more flexible in adding different attractions over time -- the downside is to get everything to mesh well as a themed land.

I think the closest Disney has gotten to this is in Disney Studios Park in Paris. Not sure how well the theming flows, but it goes from Finding Nemo to Cars to Ratatouille to Toy Story pretty quickly. It's hard to tell how seamless these transitions are just by the map, but at least Disney has some history in doing it. Im really hoping the generic Pixar theme is what we get.

Monstropolis has always seemed like a confusing concept for a land... it'd basically be the Streets of America except with a dark ride, meet-and-greet, restaurant, and gift shop. Which is dandy and needed, and I wouldn't reject it, but I've never understood the excitement some people have for that idea. It's not exactly Cars Land or even A Bug's Land. However, we definitely need the ride even after TSL and SWL..

Well depends on which plan. Family coaster, potential dark ride, laugh floor, meet and greet, restaurant and gift shops. It would be a step up from any Bugs Land.

I think he was talking about the current ride line-up and including ToT, RNRC and TSMM as E's, but I could be wrong.
If that's what he meant, he's not wrong per say (although TSMM is a D). Although the park only has 5 rides, every ride in the park currently is a great experience and all D's or E's. Also, arguably EVERY RIDE can give you a slightly different experience for multiple re-rides.
The problem with the park has just been lack of investment.

I think he was suggesting the two SWL rides and Slinky Dog (lol) are Es.

See now if you actually read the post, I ended that with 2pm. I could do Nemo and FOTLK and all the rides I wanted, eat, and be out by 2, 2:30 at the latest. Is that a full day for you? Because last I checked, that was mid afternoon.
