Okay look, MK is the flagship park of the whole Disney corporation. 17 million guests were there in 2009 compared to the next closet Disneyland at 14. I love MK the best and never leave there havin anything less than a magical day. But seeing some fellow Disney fans who are obsessed with the parks (hey, in a healthy way 
) and reading posts it got me thinking just a tad about the layout. So I thought of a few suggestions:
Country Bear Jamboree - I love this show and until I read stuff on here I never noticed the sound. The sound could be improved now that I think of it. Keep the same show but make the speakers a bit louder or more clear, that's all. I couldn't see the show being closed for very long to fix that. A week maybe? Tops.
Old Skyway attraction in Fantasyland - The front of it is filled with stroller parking now of course but there is still some space to do another attraction and keep the stroller parking. This is of course in between Small World and Haunted Mansion. Why not another dark movie ride? Bambi? This would be another attraction. Ditto for where the Skyride ended in Tommorowland. There is tons of space for something they aren't touching. Or start it up again. I mean seriously it's right there and it was a beautiful ride to be honest. Busch Gardens in Tampa has it. So if it's a windy day you close it, big deal. Just such a waste of space
Between Splash and Thunder - I thought there was enough space to do it. Yeah I know the Railroad goes through there but why not add another dark ride? The train already goes under Splash as it is.
Keep Tom Sawyer - Look, I like the Island. And I don't people think this through. If you take away the Island and the water it also eliminates the Liberty Belle Riverboats which is a nice relaxing ride and gets you away from the crowds for a bit while seeing a good chunk of the park at a different angle.
Remove Stitch - Goes without saying, but the key to great leadership is admitting when a mistake was made. Stitch was a mistake, Alien Encounter was not.
Start up Swan boats again - Okay I actually walked to the loading dock and coincidentally there was an older cast member who was fixing a couple of things. I asked him why they don't start up the swan boats again. He had been at MK since 1973 and he gave me the reasons why they stopped it (he believes). He said the labour was too much for Disney meaning that they would need far too much staff to run it. I can't understand it because they have it at DL and what about Jungle Cruise? Is there another ride that needs more staff than that? It works fine. Plus he says the lines were long. But that's the thing, adding more rides spreads out the crowds. At least this is how I am told DL does it better in a seemingly smaller park.
New ride in between Space and Carousel of Progress - There is space and that includes the bathroom that is there. It can't be too big because the railroad is there but it could use something.
Okay that is my 10-point plan :sohappy: just a few things I can see to improve on an already great park. I was there in March on a Saturday of all days. The lineups were generous but it worked out perfectl with my fastpass. But the more rides you add the lesser the lines will be everywhere else. I think my plan would cut down on lines 10% and if its feasible it should be done. All I can say is that we all know Walt would never stop at ways to improve on the park
