Those are just my 2 cents, please comment!

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer Agreed, but I would hope for a LOT of aesthetic changes, especially in the front part of the land. Aladdin, as said, clashes terribly and the older facades are rotting away. Caribbean Plaza looks fine, however.

As for the other things, JC has had a planned refurb/plussing on the table for what seems like a decade, and there has been persistent rumors of UNM changing. Aland is also the perfect place to put a thrill E-ticket, something the MK desperately needs.

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer Yeah, they are. Look at them. They look faded, rotted, and old. If you give the excuse, of "that's the theme", then, news, it's a little too much.

WDW's is less successful because it has to blend differing areas (the Caribbean, the Middle East, and the South Pacific.) The huge expanses of concrete don't help either. That blending is much more successful at DLP. In my wildest dreams the entire land at the MK would be re-imagineered.

The only thing that gives me some hope is that there were other plans up for debate before FLE was given the green light, apparently. So at least they have been thinking about other areas of the park.
Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer Yeah, ADVL and TL were thought of before FLE. Even more hopefully, however, is the fact that even the FLE is under scruitiny. Management might be realizing that a plan that should have been put into play in 1995 for MK's capacity issues... Not to actually expand on it.

And I'm under the impression that they would hopefully ADD to the damn thing, not subtract from it, seeing it's a moot point to add it as it is, in a sense. I would totally be behind a new FLE that had more then one ride.
Originally Posted By MPierce I really don't think they have a clue where they are going with this project. And I've got five Disney dollars that saids it's not going to be anywhere close to what people were expecting.

I opened it up today, and on page 8 they pose the question "Are you looking forward to the Fantasyland Forest expansion or Wizarding World of Harry Potter more?" They asked this on Facebook and printed the responses of 16 people. 8 said Fantasyland Forest 5 said Harry Potter 3 said Both Socrates "The unexamined life is not worth living."
