It’s a really interesting idea having a park that uses as a theme the Seven Wonder of the World, weren’t the new ones: Chichén Itzá, The Taj Mahal, Petra, The Great Wall of China, The Roman Colosseum, Machu Pichu, Christ the Redeemer Statue?

You could even attach an IP to most of them; Coco to Chichén Itzá, The Emperor’s New Groove to Machu Pichu, The Three Caballeros to Christ the Redeemer Statue (or even Rio if you’re willing to accept the Blue Sky properties), Mulan to the Great Wall of China, and the Jungle Book to the Taj Mahal. For the other two some modifications would be needed to include an IP, for Roman Colosseum you could turn the area into the Mediterranean Sea (and include the statue of Zeus at Olympia (maybe the Wonder of the Ancient World could be included as well)) so it could fit Hercules. And having Petra in a Middle East area so Aladdin could fit perfectly.

My biggest issue with them is that three of them are Latin American, which doesn’t seem very balanced for a park that has World in the name. Maybe switch Christ the redeemer with the pyramids of Giza? Petra would be perfect for an Indy ride!

Your guess would be right ;). This looks amazing! Thanks for making it.

@D Hindley I think I remember you saying you went to Disneyland Tokyo sometime in the last few year. What hotel did you stay at?
Click to expand...
Aye, that be true! ARRGH! (Sorry, a new One Sentence affection.)

I splurged initially with a room in MiraCosta overlooking DisneySea's lagoon. Then I transferred to the Hilton Tokyo Bay, which seemed the best combination of comfort and price and western accomodations. Several good non-Disney hotels are right along the Monorail route.

Are you going to Tokyo?! :D

If all goes well I'm spending 3 weeks in Japan in August or Sept (I'm leaning towards September). I really wanna splurge on the MiraCosta or Ambassador, but glad to hear that the Hilton is good. I was looking at the Sheraton next door, the Hilton, or going to a more localized hotel (I'm hoping to be able to read and speak some Japanese by then)

I hope you can go! September seems a great time for Tokyo Disney (its when I went) because the weather’s nice, the crowds are low, the hotels are cheaper, yet park hours remain 8-10 and you might catch early Halloween events. JTTCOTE should be coming out of a major refurb by then, and it’s not-to-be-missed.

Some MiraCosta advice (it’s highly recommended): Rooms fill up super fast, so be on their website at midnight Tokyo time to get your reservations a precise 3 months in advance. (Working on memory here, so it might be 4 months or something else). Prefill your info before midnight hits. Get the Portofino side for in-room Fantasmic viewing and postcard Mt Prometheus views. You’ll get Happy 15 early entry with the hotel, and priority for dining reservations. Oh, I’m excited for you!

Haha, that's good to know. So I got a bit of time to find out if I will have enough funds to pay for MiraCosta or one of the nicer Disney Hotels. I should probably try to calculate how much my other hotel cost are going to be, if i'm gonna stay in a proper hotel in Japan or save money and stay in capsules.
Other than that I'm excited, I wish I was spending more time in the country cause I'm only doing the southern have of the country, but it should be a blast.

I’ve been to Japan many times, and it never feels like enough time. Kyoto is so beautiful, a whole week there can feel not enough. Definitely you should get the Japan Rail Pass, which you need to apply for online at least a month before going. That’s a one-price unlimited-use tourist-only Pass for the bullet trains and several in-city lines. Incredibly handy.

Capsules are...unique. Worth doing. I did Ibis Styles hotels a lot, which are western enough and budget conscious. Very no frills. Look into doing a riokan in Kyoto - that’s a unique Japanese form of a hostel, with traditional floor mats and kimonos and everything. PM if you have more in-depth Japan questions.

I'm glad to hear that cause I am actually debating going back in 2020 for the Olympics to say I've done the Olympics (plus I'll be comfortable with country). I was gonna do a Rail Pass and possibly a Pocket Wifi or something like that mainly cause I need to be in almost contact for my job.
I'm trying to experience Japan like a local as much as I can, my travel buddy and I are trying to spend a night in a Temple and wake up with the monks to do prayer. I also plan on leaving a swan at Hiroshima, mainly due to personal ties to that event.
I'll send you a message as I get closer and have more questions about Japan.

If anyone wants practice their Imagineering skills for SA in a giant group format, Euro Disney 1985 - a sequel to WDW 1966 has been brought back! :D This project is similar to Club 32's Sydney Disneyland in scale, creating an entire Euro Disney Resort in Spain, per Roy Disney's orders, to open 1985.

Here's the link! https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/euro-disney-1985-vol-ii.923448/

And the prompt!

MonorailRed said:

"We should have built Euro Disney in Spain. The site that the Imagineers had chosen there had far better weather. More to the point, this area already had a strong tourism-based economy in place, a pool of people going-on-holiday that we could have pulled our Guests from. Plus a great rail system..... But the French offered Eisner far better financial terms. They were willing to give the Company all sorts of financial incentives and tax breaks if we built this project in France rather than in Spain. So in the end, Michael chose the scheme over the dream."

Project Background
This is the second volume to the hit brainstorming threadWalt Disney World 1966 , which has recently finished it's Phase 1 construction.
In that respect, I'm bringing this new project to the forum, for a new plan for the EuroDisney Project from the ground up. We're gonna Keep Moving Forward and open new doors!

The Prompt

The year is 1985, the decision has been made in Roy's favor to have Euro Disney Resort in Spain. As a team, what do we do and where do we start?
