I think that's what I got, but TBH it seems like a lot to do in only three days.
Waiting for
a confirmation from RH that it's good

I always feel its good to provide feedback, no matter how uninspiring it may be. Here is where I saw things.
Port Disney: The concept is excellent in theory. I love the concept of building the entire park basically around the lake like one huge port and LOVE the boat transportation from land to land. Its a great family ride concept and also a very useful transportation. The park itself seems to be unable to decide whether it is the Magic Kingdom or Epcot redesigned. Port America reads like it was designed by Walt himself. Excellent mix of family rides, shows and restaurants. Port Asia on the other hand really felt like an extension of Epcot. In fact, combined with Port Med, it really did feel like it would become redundant with Epcot nearby. To end on a plus, Future Port and Adventure Port feel like the perfect anti-MK,a nd the overall theming was incredibly cohesive and detailed. All in all, an excellent addition to the World with just a few tweaks.
DKE: This park seemed much more Disney than PD, but almost too much so. Adding NFL junior just seemed a little unimaginative and unexciting. It might draw decent crowds here, but might seem rather redundant with FL already next door. Mythos seems way too similar to Lost Continent and while I know that you mention several times its different, I cant help but think the link would be drawn and Im not sure that's a road Disney would like to go down. On the plus side, Starport is what Im sure we all wish tomorrowland was (minus your SGE clone, please no). The reimagined Mermaid and POTC sound incredibly exciting, in fact Seven Seas was perhaps my favourite of all the Lands put forward. I also loved the idea of the Adventure Harbour gate, maybe just a touch too many dining options as well (although given this will be only one of two gates, I can the need). Overall, great concepts, maybe just a little too hodgepodge

Okay, awesome!Just as long as it's done on the due date
Here's my reviews:
DKE: I agree with RH saying this is more Disney. The use of IP was way more prominent and added more to each attraction. My favorite attraction was your reimagined PotC
PD: This park had great theming, but lacked where valuable IP could be used. The park's layout similar to EPCOT and Disney Sea really worked. I feel that DisneySea vibe when reading over your post, which is a positive
Overall, I was very impressed with both parks and I look forward to more

After 10 years of magic in Hong Kong Disney's Kingdom of Exploration three new areas will open in 2035, 2036 and 2037:

@RH Kelly & @DSquared I want to apologize for submitting my expansions and new hotel so late. I was at the hospital all day and had to do a lot more stuff at home then I expected. I hope that you guys enjoy my proposals and I hope that they help fix some of my problems with my earlier submissions. So without further ado, here is my expansion plan for Port Disney and my new hotel.
New Hotel
In 2021, Walt Disney World will celebrate its 50th Anniversary with not just a brand new theme park (Port Disney), but it will also celebrate with the opening of a brand new resort. Disney's Five Kingdoms Resort will embrace the ancient culture of China with a special Disney touch. This new resort will truly be a unique experience to Walt Disney World, and open up new opportunities for Disney guests when they come and visit Walt Disney World.
The resort will consist of five core buildings, each representing the five dynasties of China. The lobby and Mushu's Dinner will be located in the main building 'The Liang Palace'. Also located in this building will be 200 hotel rooms. The second building or 'Tang Palace' will be located across the lake and will hold 300 rooms. The Jin Palace will be located directly next door and have 100 rooms. The last two buildings will be the Han & Zhou palaces will have 100 rooms each. All of the rooms will be extremely elegant and will feature a Disney take on traditional Chinese decor.
The true centerpiece of the resort will be Mulan's Gardens. This area, dedicated to Mulan will feature four pavilions. The first two will be simplistic rest stops with Chinese architecture being very prominent, however each will tell the beautiful story of China through two films/exhibits. The first, Chinese Dreams will tell the history of China from the Mongols to CCP. The second, China Rising will tell the story of modern china and will even feature a scale model of future Shanghai. The circular building on a bluff will be called Mulan's Gazebo. Here guests will be able to meet Mulan and Mushu. The third rectangle will be a quick service restaurant called 'Dumplings'. The square building at the islands tip will be Mushu's Pavilion. This will be a tall tower that will serve as place to rent boats that guests will be able to use to travel through the waters. The garden itself will seem more like a forest and will be highly themed and landscaped. It will truly be an immersive and exciting experience for all guests. At nighttime this area will have a 'Lantern Show' where guests will be able to send lanterns into the air in an interactive *light* fireworks show.
This resort will be a first for Walt Disney World and ensure that guests positive and immersive experience does not end at the parks exit.
(Editors Note: During the nighttime show most guests will be at the park so it will be a very low key experience. And not interfere with guests sleep)
Port Australia will be the largest of the newly built lands and will be divided into two different areas. The Outback, and The City. The Outback will take quests into the wilderness of the Land Down Under, while The City will introduce guests to modern Australia and the beauty of the Pacific Ocean. All of these lands will be highly themed and open up new opportunities for guests to explore, connect, and interact with the sea.
The City will be located next to Mediterranean Port and its biggest icon will be a recreation of the Sydney Opera House. Also located here will be Harbor Cafe along Australia Bay, and Flinders Market a shop inside a recreation of Flinders Street Station. These buildings will be focused on Flinders Street with Opera House on the streets right hand side facing the bay. On the other side will be most of the shops. Inside the Opera House will be a new attraction, exclusive to Port Disney. Nemo's Ocean Journey will be an exciting dark ride featuring everyone's favorite fishes, Nemo, Marlin, and Dory. These three fish will take guests on a journey through Australia's Great Barrier Reef, a colorful world where anything is possible. Guests may even run into a few friends along the way. Guests of all ages will be entertained with the jokes of their fishy hosts. Also located in The City will be the Sydney Observation Tower, this Tower will give guests a new perspective of the park and even resort...they may even run into a few talkative Seagulls at the top
In The Outback guests will be able to see the breathtaking beauty of the Australian wildlife and outback. The areas centerpiece will be the Uluru and similarly colored Mountain range. On the outside will be an Aboriginal village. The villages main show will be Southern Sky's, this circle vision show will introduce guests to the history and beauty of Australia. The second attraction here will be The Outback Expedition, this ride will allow guests to explore Australia's outback from the nature to the waterfalls, to the animals in a Jungle Cruise styled setting. The star attraction however will be located in the Uluru and be an attraction based on The Rescuers. The Rescuers Down Under will be a thrilling E-Ticket that will allow guests to ride with the Rescuers following the same story of the film. This attraction will wind throughout Australia's beautiful mountain and will be great fun for the whole family.
Australia will truly be a unique place in Port Disney, immersing guests into a beautiful land and a beautiful people.
Opening in 2027 will be Incredible Island. This land is themed to the hit Disney-Pixar film 'The Incredibles' and gives guests the opportunity to explore this breathtaking island. This island will be an icon on the Port Disney Skyline, but will also feature exciting attractions for guests of all ages to enjoy.
Upon entering the land guests will be guided to enter their own Nomainsian Monorail which will give them a short tour of the island and bring them into Syndrome's main base. Inside his base guests will be able to design their own robots, virtually explore the island, visit the Incredibles Meet and Greet, ride another pod to have a longer tour of the island (including the underwater garage), or ride The Incredible Adventure, the lands main E-Ticket. Syndrome's base will be very retro futurist in design. Many glass and white fiberglass features; everything will be clean, curved, and smooth.
The Incredible Adventure will be a thrilling roller coaster ride inside the Mountain. Guests will board their own Velocipods and proceed on a crazy journey inside the mountain, following the Parr family as they defeat Syndrome. Guests will pass through intense scenes that lead up to the finale where Syndrome and Mr. Incredible face off in the lava chamber resulting in a victory for Mr. Incredible. This coaster will be extremely exciting for many guests, especially fans of the film. The ride will unload close to the Incredible's meet and greet.
This island will bring new excitment and one of Pixar's most beloved films. With strong and immersive theming this will truly be an amazing land.
Opening in 2030 at Port Disney will be a brand new experience for Disney World Guests at Mermaid Lagoo. Mermaid Lagoon, based on The Little Mermaid, is an underwater fun land for all guests. This land features many simplistic rides with an underwater spin, a new Mermaid show, and the opportunity to get face to face with Ariel.
Upon entering the land guests will find that it is completely inside King Tritons palace. Upon walking through the palace gates, guests will be 'transported' to the sea. Inside they will find Flounders Flying Fish; a fish themed spinner, Jumpin Jellyfish; a fun parachute like attraction, and Seahorse Carousel. These attractions will all be set in a highly themed building designed to look as though you are underwater. Window's will have screens that make it appear as though guests are really underwater.
On the second level of the palace guests will find a guest shop and two of the lands main attractions. The first is 'The Little Mermaid' broadway show which will be permanently stationed in the land. The second attraction will be Ariel's Grotto, in this attraction guests will get into shells and travel through and Ariel narrated tour of the palace that finally ends at an Ariel Meet and Greet. There the little ones can meet Ariel and Flounder, another great memory to add to the long term memory shelves.
Mermaid Lagoon will be a fantastic addition to an already exciting theme park and will bring joy and excitment to many visitors. Despite the similarities with Disney Sea it will still be fresh and a new experience for Walt Disney World.
Editors Note: As you can see, these expansions and new hotel will take place over the course of a decade. They will bring new people into the Walt Disney World resort and enhance the resorts overall feel and excitiment. By bringing new and unique experiences I feel as though I have created an improved and more exciting Walt Disney World. Thank you for reading and your consideration.

Upon entering the land guests will be guided to enter their own Nomainsian Monorail which will give them a short tour of the island and bring them into Syndrome's main base. Inside his base guests will be able to design their own robots, virtually explore the island, visit the Incredibles Meet and Greet, ride another pod to have a longer tour of the island (including the underwater garage), or ride The Incredible Adventure, the lands main E-Ticket. Syndrome's base will be very retro futurist in design. Many glass and white fiberglass features; everything will be clean, curved, and smooth.
The Incredible Adventure will be a thrilling roller coaster ride inside the Mountain. Guests will board their own Velocipods and proceed on a crazy journey inside the mountain, following the Parr family as they defeat Syndrome. Guests will pass through intense scenes that lead up to the finale where Syndrome and Mr. Incredible face off in the lava chamber resulting in a victory for Mr. Incredible. This coaster will be extremely exciting for many guests, especially fans of the film. The ride will unload close to the Incredible's meet and greet.
This island will bring new excitment and one of Pixar's most beloved films. With strong and immersive theming this will truly be an amazing land.
Opening in 2030 at Port Disney will be a brand new experience for Disney World Guests at Mermaid Lagoo. Mermaid Lagoon, based on The Little Mermaid, is an underwater fun land for all guests. This land features many simplistic rides with an underwater spin, a new Mermaid show, and the opportunity to get face to face with Ariel.
Upon entering the land guests will find that it is completely inside King Tritons palace. Upon walking through the palace gates, guests will be 'transported' to the sea. Inside they will find Flounders Flying Fish; a fish themed spinner, Jumpin Jellyfish; a fun parachute like attraction, and Seahorse Carousel. These attractions will all be set in a highly themed building designed to look as though you are underwater. Window's will have screens that make it appear as though guests are really underwater.
On the second level of the palace guests will find a guest shop and two of the lands main attractions. The first is 'The Little Mermaid' broadway show which will be permanently stationed in the land. The second attraction will be Ariel's Grotto, in this attraction guests will get into shells and travel through and Ariel narrated tour of the palace that finally ends at an Ariel Meet and Greet. There the little ones can meet Ariel and Flounder, another great memory to add to the long term memory shelves.
Mermaid Lagoon will be a fantastic addition to an already exciting theme park and will bring joy and excitment to many visitors. Despite the similarities with Disney Sea it will still be fresh and a new experience for Walt Disney World.
Editors Note: As you can see, these expansions and new hotel will take place over the course of a decade. They will bring new people into the Walt Disney World resort and enhance the resorts overall feel and excitiment. By bringing new and unique experiences I feel as though I have created an improved and more exciting Walt Disney World. Thank you for reading and your consideration.
