What would you like to see added, restored, changed in the parks and WDW in general?

Longer park hours instead of these stupid after hours events. More people can partake and people in the parks = money (-overhead of course).

Epcot; literally anything would help except more IP stupidity. The park is a shell of its former self and almost laughable, if it weren't so expensive.

Start capping capacity at all parks sooner. The overcrowding and lines are really biting into the fun aspect and raising prices is not the (only) answer.

Oh geez, how did I forget about SpectroMagic? It was a great, great parade. Sort of set the mood for the fireworks afterwards. What is the honest reason they don't have a nighttime parade right now? I can still sing the song to SpectroMagic ("On this magic night...............")

Like everything else at WDW these days its all about the Benjamins as to why no nighttime parade. (Which was one of my favorite things to do at
WDW)

I can still hum the music in my sleep ("On this Magic gghhhhhtttt......."). It had everything. Heck, even the last float has the crows from Dumbo as silhouettes. It was one of those things that you can't believe they did every night because it felt special and exclusive to only something you saw.

Spectromagic was an absolutely amazing parade, Sure MSEP was fun from a nostalgia PoV but Spectromagic was created for WDW and it showed that a great attraction draws crowds and does not need the 'latest hot ip'

Loved thr googly eyed fish who would come up and gurgle at you. The Ursula float was also pretty cool, And Chernabog ...

Let's see....
  • Lower Ticket Prices
  • Lower Resort Prices
  • Better quality and selection of food and merchandise
  • More full time employees with benefits working in the parks so they actually care about their jobs again.
  • The Main Street Bakery
  • 24 hour Quick Serve at the Contemporary
  • Later operating hours at the MK
  • The old Guest Assistance program with some reasonable and legal safeguards to cut down on the previous abuses.
  • Pool Hopping privileges between resorts of the same class (if you're staying at a Deluxe you can use any other deluxe pool a least once during your stay.

By far, I'd love to see an epic new 20,000 Leagues attraction. For that sort of investment however, Disney may need to consider a new release movie based on the original book (probably with quite a bit of poetic license to suit modern consumers). But just imagine what could be done with that theme today.

Let me see, let me see...

MAGIC KINGDOM
- On Main Street U.S.A., do a new version of Walt Disney: One Man's Dream in... I don't know, maybe the Main Street Exposition Hall.
- The Jungle Cruise could use a refresh. Add new gags, new animatronics, a couple special effects, I'd even be fine with them removing the Headhunters since those are considered problematic nowadays.
- If there's room in Adventureland, build a new Indiana Jones Adventure similar but not identical to Disneyland's.
- Refurbish Pirates of the Caribbean. Keep the movie elements, but change the dialogue back to how it was before (so instead of the pirates looking for Jack Sparrow, they're looking for the town's treasure and don't know that Jack is sneaking around trying to find it first). Bring back the barker parrot, too.
- Instead of retheming Splash Mountain, give it a nice refurbishment with a couple new animatronics and updated special effects.
- Use the land north of Tom Sawyer's Island to make a new, small land based on New Orleans, allowing us to have a ride based on The Princess and the Frog without retheming Splash Mountain.
- Peter Pan's Flight gets a refresh. New animatronics, new special effects, stuff like that.
- The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh gets a quick refurbishment. Nothing too drastic, just update the animatronics (make them a bit fuzzier, have their mouths move, etc) and add in some new special effects. I love the ride as is, but I think these would do wonders.
- Princess Fairytale Hall and the Tomorrowland Speedway get the axe for new dark rides - a new version of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and a dark ride based on Alice in Wonderland.
- Pete's Silly Sideshow in Storybook Circus becomes a dark ride. Pete is the ringmaster of a circus featuring by obscure Disney characters like Humphrey the bear, Horace Horsecollar, the Three Little Pigs, Lambert the Sheepish Lion, and Salty the Seal. Or it could become a Dumbo dark ride (perhaps it could be based entirely on the "Pink Elephants on Parade" sequence).
- Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor is moved to Disney's Hollywood Studios. Maybe they could bring Timekeeper back?
- Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin is refurbished, with more emphasis put on your actually being on an adventure with the "real" Buzz Lightyear that the toy is based on as opposed to the size of a toy.
- Put something in the now-empty Stitch's Great Escape building. What, I don't know.
- New nighttime parade.

EPCOT
- Spaceship Earth refurbishment as planned, with new narration and the removal of that stupid screen-based finale.
- Instead of a Play Pavilion, the Wonders of Life space becomes an updated Horizons.
- Nemo and friends are out. The pavilion's name is The Living Seas again. The dark ride is now a 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea-esque voyage to the bottom of the sea.
- Isn't there space between The Land and The Seas With Nemo and Friends for a new pavilion? Maybe something weather-related could go there.
- The original Journey Into Imagination returns, albeit updated a little (new special effects, etc.). ImageWorks is upstairs again. Dunno what should happen to the Magic Eye Theater (maybe make it a restaurant or something).
- Gran Fiesta Tour is overhauled. Now instead of a search for Donald, it's the Three Caballeros taking us around Mexico and informing us of its history. Shenanigans ensue.
- At least one new World Showcase pavilion. Don't care which country it's based on, I'm not picky.
- The existing World Showcase pavilions get some new rides, assuming there's room. Germany finally receives the Rhine River Cruise, Japan gets a Mount Fuji bobsled ride, Morocco gets a Peter Pan's Flight-esque dark ride where you ride a flying carpet over Morocco, things like that.

DISNEY'S HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS
- Get rid of the Frozen Sing-Along.
- Tear down PizzeRizzo and use the space for a Muppets dark ride (like this one, for example).
- Animation Courtyard becomes Monstropolis, with a relocated Laugh Floor, Harryhausen's, and either a fun dark ride a la Tokyo's Ride and Go Seek or a dark ride/suspended coaster hybrid based on the door vault scene.

DISNEY'S ANIMAL KINGDOM
- It's Tough to Be a Bug gets a visit from a can of Raid, freeing up the theater in the Tree of Life for some new attraction that DOESN'T terrify children.
- Planet Watch gets the axe. The space is used for a new land or two (assuming how much space it takes up).
- Asia gets a dark ride based on The Jungle Book.
- The Yeti is finally fixed.
- Chester and Hester's Dino-Rama is bulldozed to make room for new rides based on prehistoric animals that are actually, y'know, good. I'd be okay with them adding an Ice Age ride, now that Disney owns the franchise.

-Animation Courtyard
— everything must go. I like the idea of Duckburg going there. Fits nicely with railway.

-Echo Lake Area
—after Primetime cafe stretching all the way to muppets courtyard retheme that entire area (Indy, QS, Star Tours) into an Indiana Jones land. This land I want set in the desert. Does not have to be Egypt but that would be cool. I would get rid of the stunt show and star tours both in favor of a new Indy Ride. Preferably a Jeep ride. I also like the idea of an idoor raft ride through caves on a subterranean river.

Magic Kingdom

-
Adventureland
— In the open plot build Kuzcos Palace. A water ride that starts off as a coaster. CM pulls the lever you proceed to ride down to the lab before becoming more of a flume ride.

Fantasyland
—Fairytale hall turns into a Sword in the Stone dark ride. Imagine the scene where Merlin in packing his bag singing the song. The ride vehicle goes on a circular motion around Merlin in the middle (like leota in HM) but you go around you are also rising. Like his objects that are going into his bag.

—Tear down and rebuild Peter Pan. Using AA’s, lighting effects, proper audio, etc

Liberty Square
— Idk where but I want a haunted mansion table service

Tomorrowland

- Turn the vacant building previously housing SGE into an AA musical review featuring a cast of cute and crazy aliens.

-Update All of the show scenes on the people mover.

-Get ride of Buzz and Laughfloor. Use that entire area for one dark ride. An original based on time travel.

-Put more of those goofy robots around Tomorrowland. Like the newspaper barker.


I will have to come back to this...I have more
