Perfect! Can’t wait to see what you come up with for that! There isn’t a ton of room in Toon Studio so I’m curious how you’ll expand it.

Thinking about retheming Toon Studios to a Toontown like land to go along with it. Crush's Coaster be rethemed to Donald, maybe have the Cars flat ride be themed to the How To Goofy cartoons. With Carpets and Magician Mickey making way for a C Ticket Chip and Dale Dark Ride.

That would be really cool!! I can’t wait to see how it all comes together there. I think it’ll work really well!

I can focus on Discoveryland. I’d really like for it to go back to its’ roots, and absolutely get rid of Hyperspace Mountain.
And I’ll still try to work on a song. Are we definitely going with The Story’s Just Starting?

I like the idea with Discoveryland! You also have the old Pizza Planet restaurant to work with for any minor expansion.
And I think that “The Story’s Just Starting” is the way to go! It works perfectly for WDSP and with a speech like above for DLP makes it fit beautifully.

I think we can remove Star Wars Land from the list since if we're following the original timetable, it's going to open 3 years after the 20th anniversary. Only Avengers Campus (2021), the new lake area (let's name it Lake Buena Vista, shall we? Seems fitting for a cinema-themed park; 2022), and Frozen Land (2022) would be open by then. For the anniversary itself, we can just focus on New Discoveryland (DLP), Lake Buena Vista (WDSP), Frozen Land (WDSP), and Mickey's ToonTown with Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway (WDSP).
For entertainment, you missed the stage shows on the list though! And you missed the anniversary-exclusive food and merchandise.
I can take the nighttime lake show for WDSP! Paris is slowly testing out the waters (hehe) for a lake show with Magic Over Lake Disney, and there are rumors of TDS' Fantasmic coming to the Studios. Whether it's the actual show or just its tech coming, I'm not sure but I'm hoping it's the latter tbh. There's just something with TDS' Fantasmic that's off but I can't put my finger on it. I can also take the new castle fireworks show if no one wants it.
(scheming to bring back Dreams! in more or less its entirety begins)

I can also work on a Stage Show for WDSP!

How could I forget the merch! Thank you!
Perfect, thanks!
Might need confirmation with @montydysquith-navarro here but I can't picture space in WDSP for a good stage show. There is in DLP just beside the castle!

Maybe an anniversary dance party to replace Disney Junior Live on Stage?

Oh, definitely. Bring back the steampunk and Jules Verne aesthetic that had been such an influence on it. Maybe we could also add a dash of Georges Melies to the mix?

Absolutely. Melies had a little representation in the original version of the land, but I'm all for bringing him even more to the forefront.

Y'all definitely have the Discoveryland plan together! I will leave you to it!

Studio Theater (indoor) and the Production Courtyard Stage (outdoor) should be free for an anniversary stage show!
Here's the interior of the Studio Theater. Very wide proscenium with projection screens on it, as well as on the sides of the theatre:
Here's the Production Courtyard Stage. The colors of the stage can be changed depending on its usage. It also has a stage riser/trapdoor upstage center (near the center LED screen).

Both could work! I will leave it to you @NigelChanning09 on which you would rather use!

Let me know if there’s any jobs that need to be picked up! Planning on putting a ton into the night parade, but I will probably have time for something else if need be

I’ll go with the Studio Theatre. Maybe a show starring Mickey and Minnie about the magic of the movies?

That is an awesome idea! Fits the anniversary story and the area!

So instead of retheming Toon Studio to Toontown, I'm going to retheme it to Duckburg. The Animation building by itself seemed a bit small, so I incorporated the Cars flat ride space into the MMRR showbuilding, so I've decided to keep Magic Carpets and retheme it to a Launchpad flying ride.
I think it gives Studios Paris something unique (which has been a big problem with the upcoming expansions IMO) plus a perfect oppurtunity for a Ducktales dark ride!

Cool to hear you like it. I'll look more into Discoveryland, and check out what things could be adjusted or enhanced with this makeover.
Meanwhile, as a replacement for Hyperspace Mountain, perhaps it could be revamped into something closer to the "From the Earth to the Moon" iteration of Space Mountain. Rather than just completely pull back to the original, perhaps we could try something with the Melies idea, with guests stepping into the world of his work.

That's actually exactly what I was thinking. Bring back the original premise, but center it more around Melies' "A Trip to the Moon" rather than the Verne novel. Revamp the queue so the inside portion doesn't look into the ride, rework some of the queue to look like the Earth sets from the film. Maybe instead of the re-entry brake run (there's a specific name for the machine the rockets go through in the brake run, but I've forgotten it) the rockets land on the lunar surface with Selenites and stuff like that.
Aside from Space Mountain, I like's Ace's suggestion of working on the old Pizza Planet. I'll do some digging to figure out a theme, but I've always wanted to do something based around Robur the Conqueror, so this might be a good opportunity to explore that.
