Disney Parks is one of the most recognizable theme park companies in the world, as the team that creates experiences for its guests dreams up fantastical experiences for the whole family to experience together. The theme parks across the globe that millions of guests per year visit let their visitors travel to countless different places each representing a different theme. From the far off jungles of the amazon, to a prestigious Hollywood movie studio to the Cadillac Mountain Range in Radiator Springs, there are dozens of adventures for Disney Parks guests to experience. However, a main theme that hasn't breached into the world of theme park is one that many overlook at a first glance... music.

Music creates the tone and mood for anything that it accompanies. Whether that be a film, a theme park land or even a party, pieces of music can help those who hear it feel certain emotions. In Walt Disney World's fifth theme park, Team Mickey has decided to focus on these emotions felt through the tones of music, allowing guests to get a true musical experience.

Located near the former Walt Disney World Speedway (the same plot of land used for the omega challenge), this all
New theme park will let those who visit it have an experience like never seen before.

Welcome to Disney's Symphony Isles. Here, music breathes new life in the theme park world by conveying different tones and emotions used to tell stories in our favorite pieces of music. From suspense, to joy or even tranquility, our favorite stories will be told through one of six music-themed lands. Guests can visit Land of Symphony, Village of Joy, Shore of Sadness, Street of Suspense, Forest of Fear or Island of Tranquility. All centered around a central body of water, those who visit Disney's Symphony Isles will be able make fun-filled memories that will last a lifetime.

We now invite you to learn more and experience:

Over the years heroes were born. Stories of those heroes have been told over and over to the point where now it seems like Myths. Now with the Magic of Disney we have found a way to bring our guests back to when those Myths were true now journey with us to

Finale Critique - @RMichael21

To tell the truth, I've never considered music a possible theme for WDW's fifth park before. Actually, I should say I haven't thought of it as a LEGITAMITE option (see Hard Rock Park). You proved me wrong...what a concept! You were able to successfully guide your team to create a park that connects music and emotions on a tangible level like I never thought possible. Good job on that front! The music selection was good, but could have been more expansive with a music based park. The site was nice as well, though there were several typos. Your attraction roster was bold, but perhaps too bold. This would definitely be a family park, what with the number of dark rides included. Also, some IPs are questionable in the sense that not many people would remember or care about them enough to warrant a ride (i.e. Fox & the Hound). The lands they fit in are very well thought out, but some attractions seem kind of repetitive (a lot of Fantasia). I also wished for a few more images. Your entertainment looked great and perfect for a musical park, while dining was lacking. I do wish there was a park map, but c'est la vie. Overall, really awesome job, but we'll see how a few hiccups affect you.

I really do like this choice for a theme park. Though a mythology theme might seem cliche or overused, it opens so many different doors leading down various paths of where to take it. You did a very nice job with your team making your park stand out. The music selection was great...it truly was an inspiring piece and for very well. The site was nice, and I really appreciate and enjoy your park map. However, as with RM's park, I don't think its a good idea to put a park in an area already jammed with traffic for the Magic Kingdom. The background for your park makes sense, so well done there. There were a few typos around the site, so beware of that in the future. Each of your lands was well-picked based on popular mythology. I liked the tremendous amount of detail put forth with each attraction. Amazing effort, and creative rides! A good mix of thrill and chill puts you in a good position as a twenty first century theme park. Your dining was also very detailed and interesting. I do question some choices, like the serving of American food at the Round Table (big missed opportunity, in my opinion). The entertainment was a nice idea, as all myths basically contributed to constellations, but I wish I had seen more. Overall, great job, but a few issues might keep you from the title.
