This is a thread on refurbishment brainstorming for WDW's Magic Kingdom only; the other parks at WDW will receive their own threads at a later time. Anyhow start pouring in ideas! This is open to anyone! Come on in, we enjoy help!
Stitch's Great Escape- New scenes added with more "Stitch" animatronic scenes in chamber show and improved storyline.
That is everyones wish. But we can only dream.I was thinking the same thing. Something along the lines of Stitch accidently "teleporting" an Alien into the chamber and then the Alien escapes it's teleport pod and eats Stitch. The End.
That is what I am wishing for.
This is pretty long but here are my ideas..
If I were CEO and money was no object -
-All-new daytime parade titled The Kingdom of Dreams Parade. There will be six different sections of the parade, all themed to the six different lands of the Magic Kingdom. There will be 18 amazing new floats.
-All-new nighttime parade titled StarMagic. This will be the grandest and longest parade ever produced. The parade will feature many sections devoted to classic Disney films. The sections are Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Beauty and the Beast, Winnie-The-Pooh, Aladdin, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Peter Pan, Little Mermaid, and Sleeping Beauty (in that order). The finale will feature Mickey and the gang along with a huge array of other favorite Disney characters dressed in amazing costumes that change colors and glisten like twinkling stars. In all there will be 33 unbelievable new floats.
-All-new nighttime fireworks show titled Enchantment in the Sky. It will be the biggest fireworks show Disney has ever produced for any park. It will be themed to all the classic Disney songs such as "A Whole New World" and "When You Wish Upon A Star."
MAIN STREET, U.S.A.
-Walt Disney: One Man's Dream will be moved from Hollywood Studios to Main Street, U.S.A. It will be located in the Exposition Hall. Most of the exhibits will be moved here here. The movie will play continuously in the theatre in the back of the hall, which will be re-themed.
-Tony's Town Square Restaurant will become a new restaraunt called Walt's. It will be an upscale but still casual eatery that serves classic American dishes. The walls will be adorned with tons of memorabilia including personal pictures and theme park concept art.
ADVENTURELAND:
-The dock to the right of the main Adventureland entrance will be enclosed and become a new permanent character greeting location. Stitch, along with characters from The Lion King and The Jungle Book, will be here daily.
-The Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse will be re-themed into Tarzan's Treehouse.
-A part of the Agrabah Bazaar will be enclosed and become an indoor Aladdin meet-and-greet featuring Aladdin and Jasmine in a palace setting.
-The Enchanted Tiki Room will lose it's "Under New Management" theme and return to the classic version.
-The Jungle Cruise will receive almost entirely new animatronics and amazing new effects, including fire effects and water cannons.
-Captain Jack's Pirate Tutorial show will be moved to a brand-new indoor location next to the Pirates attraction. The show will be a little longer and the Captain will now do meet-and-greets after each show.
-El Pirate Y Perico will close for good. In it's place a new table service restaurant will open called The Tahitian Terrace Restaurant. This new eatery will serve crowd-pleasing Asian dishes.
FRONTIERLAND:
-Woody and Jessie will receive a permanent meet-and-greet location near Big Thunder Mountain called Woody's Roundup.
-The Country Bear Jamboree will recieve a huge update, including new original songs and a new script.
-The Diamond Horseshoe Review show will be back.
LIBERTY SQUARE:
-The Liberty Square Riverboat will get a new narration and storyline.
-The Hall of Presidents will receive a new movie and other upgrades.
FANTASYLAND:
-Almost all of Fantasyland will be re-themed. The new theme will be a fairy tale storybook village instead of a medieval town.
-The Pixie Hollow meet-and-greet will moved. The new version will be placed where the old Skyway building is now. The building will be removed and in it's place will be a beautiful large tree. The queue will be outside but covered, and as you journey to the tree your surroundings will get bigger and bigger as you wind around ponds and up a ramp. You will meet Tink and friends inside the Pixie Hollow tree and then go back down another ramp as your surroundings return to normal size.
-Peter Pan's Flight will be entirely rebuilt. There will now be a new indoor queue themed to the Darling children's bedroom. The entire ride will take place in Neverland. All-new pirate ships will now take Guests through life-sized scenes instead of simply flying over minatures. The ships will also have full range of movement as they fly and can turn 360 degrees. The finale of the ride will involve the pirate ship sparkling and turning to 'gold'. Guests will now exit into the Tinker Bell treasures shop.
-Peter Pan and Wendy will have a permanent meet-and-greet location near Peter Pan's Flight.
-Mickey's Philharmagic will be moved to the Animation Courtyard at Hollywood Studios. This is to accommodate the new Peter Pan's Flight.
-The Fantasy Faire gift shop will also be removed to accommodate the new Peter Pan's Flight.
-The show Cinderellabration will return but will be very different. The show will still be themed around Cinderella's coronation but almost everything else will be different. The show will now feature Mickey and Minnie and villians who wish to destroy Cinderella's happily ever after.
-The Sword and the Stone show will be back.
-Snow White's Scary Adventure will receive all-new animatronics and some new effects. All cardboard cutouts will be replaced.
-Dumbo will recieve all-new 'cars'. They will look pretty much the same except for one main detail – they will move as you fly. During the flight Dumbo will wink, wiggle his tail and even move his trunk. Beautiful fountains will also be built into the attraction.
-All of Ariel's Grotto will be removed.
-The DVC circus tent area will be removed.
-Pooh's Hunny Hunt from Tokyo Disneyland will be added. The entrance will be in the area where Ariel's Grotto is now. The ride will be almost the same as the one in Tokyo until the end. This version features two new scenes after the Heffalumps and Woozles scene. This scene will be the rain scene and it will feel and look like your hunny pot is whirling in the water. You will even go down a slight ‘waterfall’. The finale of the ride will also be much larger, with a big party scene. At the end of the ride you will smell hunny.
-An all-new shop will be built next to the new attraction called Pooh Corner.
-Pooh's Playful Spot will be removed.
-A permanent indoor meet-and-greet location for Pooh and friends will be built. The entrance will be inside the Pooh Corner shop.
-Obviously The Many Adventures of Winnie-The-Pooh will be removed. In it's place will be be a new Beauty and the Beast ride titled Beauty and the Beast - The Enchanted Adventure. It will be a simple dark ride but with state-of-the-art animatronics and effects, including many smell effects. You will board one of Belle’s father’s inventions and journey through the scenes of the movie, ending with a spectacular ballroom scene.
-A new gift shop called Lumiere's will be where Pooh's Thotful shop is now. It will sell Beauty and the Beast merchandise.
-Fantasy Gardens, a new meet-and-greet for Mickey and the gang will open. Because Fantasyland will now take over Toontown this will be the new location to meet Mickey and his pals. Like the Character Spot at Epcot you will wait in one line and meet all the characters seperately. Like the name suggests, this location will be themed like beautiful gardens, including topiaries of Mickey, Minnie, etc. The line will be outdoors but completely covered with countless fans.
-A new Sleeping Beauty ride will be put in the area where Minnie's House is now. This is a simple, charming dark ride through Sleeping Beauty’s story. The climax of the ride features the giant dragon which might scare young children.
-Once Upon A Time, a Disney princess store, will open where County Bounty is now. The County Bounty tent (the only structure to survive the remodel) will be painted shades of pink and the interior will be completely changed. Only princess items will now be sold at the store and the décor will be much fancier and royal looking. A huge chandelier, reminiscent of Beauty and the Beast, will hang from the ceiling and portraits of all the princesses will adorn the walls. There will be many interactive items available such as making your own crown, making your own jewelry and making your own magic wand. The entrance for the meet-and-greets with the princesses will still be located towards the right side of the shop.
-Inside Once Upon A Time a new princess meet-and-greet called Princess Fantasy Faire will open. The princesses will meet in the same place they do now but the format will be very different. There will now be separate lines for each princess. Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Belle and Snow White are there almost all day, every day. Occasionally they will be joined by their princes and friends. Each princess room will be very intricately themed and feature many details relating to them. Cinderella’s room will be blue and feature a backdrop of her castle. A beautiful coach will be in the room and her glass slipper will be displayed. Sleeping Beauty’s room will be pink and feature a backdrop of her castle and a spindle and flowers will be displayed. Belle’s room will be golden yellow and have a backdrop of the ballroom she and the Beast danced in. The Beasts’ enchanted rose will be displayed along with Belle’s book collection. Snow White’s red-colored room will feature a backdrop of the dwarfs’ cottage and a poisoned apple will be displayed.
-Since Toontown will be no more the current railroad station will be entirely re-themed and will now be referred to as the Fantasyland Station. However, the train will stop in exactly the same place.
-A new Alice-in-Wonderland ride will open. This is a dark ride with a twist. The cars will be much different than the typical dark ride car. They will be long caterpillar cars resembling a roller coaster. You will begin the ride by going down a (slow) drop into the rabbit hole. Then you will enter through the giant doorknob and into the scenes of the movie, including going through the White Rabbit’s house, meeting the Cheshire Cat, going to the Mad Hatter’s Unbirthday party and more. At one point in the ride you will actually go through the new Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall restaurant. All the scenes feature great animatronics and effects.
-A new table-service restaurant called Queen Of Hearts Banquet Hall will open. This is a new buffet next to the new Alice in Wonderland ride. When you enter you will feel like you’re in Wonderland. The eatery is very detailed and wacky. The food is even themed, as most all of the desserts are themed to the movie, such as heart-shaped pastries and even a real Unbirthday cake shaped like the Mad Hatter’s famous hat.
-A new shop called The Mad Hatter will open. This small shop will sell fun hats, including the Mickey ears. It will be themed to look like a giant Mad Hatter hat and will be located next to the Queen of Heart’s Banquet Hall.
TOONTOWN:
-Every single attraction in Toontown will be removed to accommodate the new Fantasyland. The only structure that will remain is the County Bounty store, but it will be renamed and re-themed into Once Upon A Time.
TOMORROWLAND:
-The entire land will be refurbished to look more futuristic. Planet-ish lights will be added that will bring new life to the land, especially at night.
-The Speedway will close. Most of this space will be used for Fantasyland and some for Tomorrowland.
-A candy store called Constellations will be added near the new Incredibles! ride.
-A new ride called Incredibles! will open. It will be an E-Ticket 3-D ride taking Toy Story Mania technology to the next level. You will help the Incredibles battle different villains in this wild and exciting attraction. The attraction will be placed on the other side of the railroad tracks although the entrance will be in front of them where the Speedway is now.
-Frozone's Super Shop will be added at the exit of Incredibles!
-A new counter service location called the Starliner Diner will be added next to Incredibles!
-Space Mountain will be updated with new cars, new effects, a soundtrack and some replaced track. The queue will also be completely changed and will look much more futuristic.
-The arcade at the exit to Space Mountain will get a big makeover. It will now look much more futuristic and all the games will be themed to space and fit with the themeing.
-The Tomorrowland Transit Authority will get some new show scenes and lighting effects.
-Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress will be updated with animatronic upgrades and a brand new final scene.
-Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin's queue will get a makeover and so will the ride itself. The cars will be replaced and there will be new guns that are easier to use and can move more freely. Also, all stationary, cardboard-like targets will be replaced by three-dimensional moving figures.

-A Wall-E attraction will replace Stitch's Great Escape!
