News Zootopia and Moana Blue Sky concepts for Disney's Animal Kingdom

[ToTBellHop]

Wilderness lodge? Nope. Moana is not a fit there. Polynesian yes, heck Carribean also would be a fit.
Tiana needs to be at French Quarter and be a major factor.

I’ve been saying for 20 years now that she also belongs in the Wilderness Lodge. It’s not nearly Disney enough. I‘d also like to see Tiana at Saratoga Springs.

Why would you put Moana at Wilderness Lodge?

It needs Wall-E.

No, he's destined for Coronado Springs for obvious reasons.

So maybe Monsters Inc. for Wilderness Lodge then.

That could be another option. Perhaps the hallways could be painted Mike Wazowski green.

Personally I would like to see Moana added to the Lowe’s Portofino Bay Hotel

She would go perfectly in both the Plumbing and Lumber areas but I really can't see her in the Flooring section.

enough moana, shoehorning it into epcot is bad enough, Animal Kingdom is fine but do we need this in every park?

Given the fact that Zootopia 2, Toy Story 5 (!) and Inside out 2 are coming, you can bet that Moana 2 is in the making. Pretty sure it won't just be Epoct.

Up. I mean, if you stay there, you are a Wilderness Explorer. Admittedly, Monsters Inc could be that you were a monster that was banished to the Wilderness. See? The theme works!!

If this actually happened, I would not be happy.

Jock Lindsey's needs a companion bar!

I always go to Jock's when we visit DS. It is my favorite. I really wish they would do more. I also question if 99% of patrons realize it is Indy based.

It’s abundantly clear WDW needs Moana, not less ana

I approve of this message.

How about a Moana attraction in this area that I circled in yellow? It is where that scrapped Fire Mountain ride was going to be located.

A good idea in theory, but access would be an issue, seeing as how you need pathways from Adventureland that would also tunnel below the train track.

Then there’s the added problem of making Moana/Polynesia a dead-end, unless you take our some of the access roads.

Here’s what Fire Mountain's complex would’ve looked like.

Dead-ending is a real problem there. Ideally, you’d just have a long queue and exit like the Indiana Jones Adventure, but that wouldn’t make Adventureland bigger and would, in fact, make it even more congested. For many reasons, expanding north of RoA is far more appealing.

You still have the dead end problem though.

It's sarcasm, dude.

Really? You do realize it can work both ways yes?

Moana to Animal Kingdom Lodge confirmed

Fire Mtn would have created a dangerous morning crush as planned. TRON has a narrow entry but at least it has a secondary connection.

You still have the dead end problem though.

Disneyland had dead ends for years. And technically Frontierland ends at a dead end at BTRR
