In the tradition of EPCOT DAD would focus on edutainment. There would be aquatic animals too; think Animal Kingdom but with live marine animals. One E ticket could be based on a fictional sea monster--- we will call it 'Leviathan's Lair'.

Disney had a web site at one time that announced plans for a third theme park, didn't they? What were the plans for that park? I would like to see some kind of western-themed park. An expanded Frontierland. I'm too young to remember the pack mules. I barely remember the mine train. I do remember riding the stagecoach at Knott's as a kid and it was amazing. So was the train the got held up by masked robbers. They could devote an entire theme park to the old west and it would be amazing.
Originally Posted By CDF1 DisneySea seems like it works because it literally is on the shore of Tokyo Bay - through the use of perspective the ocean liner at DisneySea looks like it really is docked at a pier on the bay. And I believe that over by the Aquatopia ride there is what looks like a seawall with water leaking through it (even though the reality is that there is a road between that wall and the bay). All that being said, the Strawberry Field is literally in the back yard of a bunch of residences in Anaheim as opposed to being on the shore of a bay. IMO, the idea of a World Showcase attraction would make a lot of sense: a group of international pavillions would provide an opportunity for Disney to provide their resort guests with a multitude of Disney dining options and, if things are similar to EPCOTs WS, some of the pavillions would have just films or shops while some of them could actually have rides. Given the fact that there might only be a few rides, perhaps this might be the type of park which accepted both passes from resort guests or allowed entrance via a smaller admission charge to customers that might be entering only to dine (those guests without passes could perhaps purchase ride tickets individually if they wanted to do so). Why another gate? To lock up Disneyland Resort guests for a full 5 days instead of the 3 days or so they might spend right now with the two parks.
