I'll take that as a yes :bookworm:

Starting the World Showcase Boardwalk now... digging into some old files for this one :bookworm:

Elite Eight Finale

We Go On: A Revived World Showcase by @MonorailRed


For this challenge we were tasked with filling in the 8 World Showcase Pavilion Spaces left in the area. Although I could have chosen more then eight pavilions, I wanted to keep it classic thematically to work with today’s World Showcase by choosing eight pavilion from countries Around the World : Greece, Ireland, Honduras, Jordan, India, South Africa, Australia, and Thailand.



I also wanted to bring the World Showcase into the 21st century by adding new elaborate 360 movies, cuisine and attractions. The attraction choices were created to mesh well with the Frozen Pavilion, by adding characters to the showcase, but also classic world-showcase-like attractions, such as Ireland’s Eachtraíochta.

Most Importantly, I choose to move countries in real life to different areas of the pavilion, so each pavilion would stand out more boldly and they wouldn’t “bleed into” each other as much. I also chose the same direction with the architecture, I choose to have a new pavilion experience around every corner. For example, Ireland and UK are split, as is Honduras and Mexico Pavilions. The architecture of Thailand and Mexico could “bleed into each other, so they are split as well. The only one’s close to each other with colonization history is Australia and England.



Greece

The surroundings of the Greece Pavilion are lush and green, with a Ancient Grecian Feel. The center of the Pavilion features a smaller Replica of the Parthenon. Inside the Parthenon is an eatery called The Olive Tree. The Olive Tree Storyline is based on the Legend that Athena, Greek Goddess of Wisdom, gave the Greeks the olive tree, which is the centerpiece of the restaurant. The Olive Tree serves Quick Service during the day, and Table Service during the evening (Similar to Be Our Guest). During lunch, statues inside the restaurant stand in stone while at night, they come to life for table service meals.

Disney's World Center Boardwalk
- Enter Logo here -

Coming in the Summer of 1979, experience the wonder and amazement of people and places in Disney's World Center Boardwalk. This Boardwalk is a 21st century spin on the classic shows and amusement rides found at a boardwalk or pier, by mixing in different cultures and Disney's “Edu-tainment” initiative.

The Boardwalk will open with 10 clusters. Each Cluster containing a Pavillion based on a country or area of the world. Each Pavilion consists of a hotel, attraction, shops, restaurants, and cultural entertainment. Each Pavilion is 2x the size of the showcase Pavilions in the World Showcase at Epcot, not including hotel rooms and attractions; this makes the boardwalk more immersive than the current nations at Epcot in today's current timeline.

The Boardwalk Pavilions are in this order on the map East to West: Mexico, Brazil, Morocco, Egypt, South Africa, Greece, Jordan, Greece, Italy, Germany, England, Norway, France, Spain, Japan, India, Thailand, China, Russia, Australia, South Pacific, Canada, First Nations, and America.

The Boardwalks Pavilions by opening dates are as follows:

1979 - Mexico, Italy, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Japan, China, South Pacific, Canada, First Nations, and America
1981 - Germany adds attraction
1982 - Jordan, Russia, and Thailand/ United Kingdom receives Expansion
1984 - Morocco, Jordan, and Brazil/ Russia opens attraction/ Italy receives expansion

Disney's World Center Boardwalk - Part II

Though the Boardwalk area has always been free admission to guests, the attractions have not, resulting in popularity Walt Disney World and Epcot City. The ticket system for the Disney's World Center Boardwalk begins very similar to what was previously used in the 1960s-70s at the Theme Parks, with guests using A, B, C, D, and E tickets for the Attractions. Some A tickets were used to try samples of cuisine at several different pavilions in the early days.

abcde.jpg


With the giant expansion in 1982, Walt Disney World sought out to change the ticketing system throughout the resort. This resulted in one, two, and three day "World Passports" Where guests could enjoy amenities of Theme Parks or World Center Boardwalk, almost an early form of the Park Hopper. An Annual pass option for the Parks and World Center Boardwalk were sold separately and combined to people in Magic Kingdom Club members (1966-1981), Club 66 members, and EPCOT City. Reduced rates were given to people that worked inside Epcot City or Airport. Admission was and is free to Cast Members and families.

WDW+1981_Tix_front.jpg



In the early through mid 90's the tickets finally went to as what we know today: the single park ticket system, with different names.

"World Center Attraction Pass" was introduced for all attractions in the Boardwalk. This still continues as a base ticket for Boardwalk Attractions today.

The "Around the World" Super Pass gave guests the option throughout their time visiting Walt Disney World to visit Park to Park with unlimited World Showcase Center access. The "Around the World" Value Pass gave guests one standard park or World Boardwalk Center base ticket a day throughout their time visiting Walt Disney World.

The Annual Pass received the name "Disney's Magical Passport" throughout the early to mid 90's, until officially calling it the "Castle Club" in 1998.

The Late 90's through today saw the dawn of the "Park Hopper".

The "World Standard Pass" was similar to it's previous incarnation as the "Around the World" Value Pass.
"Around the World" Park Hopper Pass was exactly the same as the "Around the World" Super Pass.

"Key to the World" Park Hopper Passes was also introduced. This is similar to today's Water Park Fun & More option. The World Showcase Boardwalk's attractions were seen as a "& More" activity on the pass.

Epcot attractions started using the Fastpass System in 2000 for the Olympic crowds.The World Center Boardwalk is the only place on property that still uses paper Fastpasses.
