Yes, I was torched by a low flying piece of fireworks in Epcot during the spectacular Christmas tag a couple years ago. What little hair there is on my head caught fire, and I spent the remainder of the spectacular Christmas tag beating the flames out on my head. Not a lot of fun, but kinda funny after the fact!

But the boat, the train, the castle .. all elements of a "MK" park. Specifically Fantasyland. You have to admit .. the logo is inspired by Fantasyland/"Magic Kingdom" style park. Anyhow ... since "Meet & Greet Land" has been approved ... and we are not thinking the blueprints are a fake anymore ....... I'm convinced that blow-up image of those two structures would be the logical point where Fantasyland could expand - via a corridor right there ... that would open up just getting beyond the backside of the Little Mermaid showbuilding ..... open area that encapsulates the WDWRR track within it's domain - for the very first time in Fantasyland history. Perhaps in a decade.

So what do you call things like Space Mountain at MK? Horizons, Morocco and Living Seas at EPCOT? ... I could go on. But are you just talking about official things that are labeled as Phase II that never happen? Do you think DCA will never see anything beyond Carsland?
Originally Posted By mousermerf I'm talking Israel, South Africa, etc..

How about the entire second ring of pavilions for World Showcase that were supposed to be "phase 2 expansion" after the first ring filled up? Which never happened. There will be growth, but 90% of the time it will not be what was planned during "phase 1" as "phase 2."
