I love how everyone says move this, replace this. They have space.. we should be talking add this.

That’s true

Plus, IASW has established itself as a castle park exclusive, and to move it from MK to Epcot would just confuse tourists who associate it with the castle park experience. I get that it has a world’s fair type feel to it because it started there, but it’s been located in every fantasyland section of every castle park, (minus Shanghai) thus dubbing it as something that’s part of the Fantasyland experience. Heck, they could retheme Pinocchio Village Haus to an IASW themed restaurant, with different sections in the restaurant representing the different countries, and in those countries you could have an animatronic small world doll band play the national anthem of the country it’s representing every 15 minutes, almost like a rainforest cafe type concept. They could even serve food from around the world!

I agree. Sometimes, we act as if moving an attraction is as simple as making a few clicks on a computer screen. I won't disagree that certain attractions might now be a better fit someplace else (especially as the land around them has developed), but I would almost always rather they spend the money to develop a new attraction than moving a still-decent attraction to another location (Festival of the Lion King is one noteable exception, but that was to make room for an entirely new land).

I agree. I think they also need to integrate Lilo, Stitch and Elvis into IASW to expand the IP.

It’s true, also, Epcot doesn’t have a good location for IASW

and lets be honest, current management wouldnt move.. they would destroy. Whats the last moved ride... COP? And that was just because disneyland was going to trash it and wdw needed more stuff to do. ITs not the same thing as .. oh this ride would thematically fit better over here, (click- drag ..yes im ok with changes)

ok edit... there have been theme park moves from us to international parks.. but not moves within the same state.
