I can think of three ideas off-hand: - A Magic Kingdom-type park as designed by the villains. - Disney's Harry Potter with Hogwarts as a real working hotel (I know this train has already left the station so to speak, but it's still fun to think about). - The Tower of Terror as a real working hotel with appropriate effects. Those would excite me. What big ideas would excite you? Socrates "The unexamined life is not worth living."

If this was Disney ca. 1980, and I knew it was going to be done "right", so to speak, I might feel differently. I'd be excited if they made a concerted effort to make MGM and DAK equals to Epcot and MK, in terms of attractions (really I mean rides, I suppose). I know DAK has its defenders, and I enjoy visiting there every few years, but I still see it as its 1998 half-day incarnation.

What I need to see is a renewed vision for the resort, with a strategic programme that addresses putting a balanced selection of new offerings in, and renewed attention to detail with a right 1st time policy, and a return to guest satisfaction coming in as the highest priority after safety.

It certainly has dropped over the years. However the price points for food, and beverages have soared, and will continue to do so. While quality continues to be deminished.
Originally Posted By dshyates I would love to see a World of Color type show and more attractions added in an effort to carry DAK into the night. A clearer vision on pulling DHS together.

And new Parades (Spectromagic is SOOO tired) at the MK for WDWs 40th.
Originally Posted By brotherdave Actually, I wouldn't mind just an enhanced and enlarged version of Spectromagic. I love that parade! However, my thoughts for each park: MK - 2nd or 3rd phase of Fantasyland redo would include at least one other "C-ticket" dark ride (Alice in Wonderland?) with future expansion out to railroad perimeter. I'd like to see more than just "meet & greets" added, too. Tomorrowland add a major E-Ticket down the road, too. Epcot - Redo Wonders of Life into a weather pavilion, possibly include updated Stormchaser ride. Totally agree that at least ONE new World Showcase country be added with one new major attraction. DHS - Needs a major new E-Ticket. Possiby develop a new Indiana Jones themed ride to replace stunt show. My suggestion - an Indiana Jones themed water adventure, possibly a water ride/coaster/dark ride E-Ticket concept. Expand Pixar area of the park to include more rides for the whole family, including Monsters Inc coaster. Keep Pixar themed attractions located here and no more elsewhere in WDW. Animal Kingdom - Love to see World of Color type of show possibly go here. Good idea, dshyates! Also, would like to see a new area developed, whether its Beastly Kingdom (somehow doubtful that will happen now) or a new continent area, like Australia or South America with major E-Ticket included. Just some of my 'wishes' for WDW...

LOL

If they did that, they'd have more money than they'd know what to do with.
Originally Posted By Hista98 btw, i really like the idea of a weather pavillion, but it would have to go one the other side of future world, not many people notice but the right half is for man made wonders and technology, like cars, outer space and health advances, the left is for natural wonders like living seas, land, and imagination. since weather is a natural wonder it would have to go on that side.
