I'd be all for a new Continent in the Animal Kingdom. Maybe Disney should expand Africa and Asia, add more animals, and probably feature South America? It's such a beautiful continent, and vastly underrated in general. I'd love to see how Disney mimics the Andes or the jungle, or even the rocky deserts and the beaches...Lots of varied wildlife and beautiful scenery down there.

Maybe also Europe, but the most "savage" countries. The ones with less civilization and more animals. Or maybe just make a Winter land composed of Alaska Russia and Norway and everything up there.

Yes! I've suggested Australia and Antarctica/Artic in the past, because they aren't represented in Epcot, but South America would be good too. I didn't think of it, but it isn't represented either. That's actually kind of weird. *scratches head*

But yeah, I'd love to see them make South America. Discovery Island is supposed to represent all equatorial islands & has rainforest elements to it, so maybe focusing on more mountainous/desert regions would work.

Something, I want at the Magic Kingdom is a real Aladdin ride. And I know, we have The Magic Carpets of Aladdin but all that it is, is just a Dumbo clone. I mean, something like an Aladdin dark ride done in the same style as Peter Pan's Flight. You still board Carpet and it takes you through the scenes of the movie. I picture the entrance being the Cave of Wonders for the ride. And it includes sequences like One Jump Ahead, Friend Like Me, Prince Ali, and A Whole New World, and the final climax with Jafar. I don't know, it's just that Aladdin is one of my favorite Disney movies and I feel like it deserves better then a Dumbo clone.

I think Tiana's Palace would be a fantastic idea, and would fit perfectly in the already pre-existing setting.

I've mentioned this before, but I think it could be quite an idea to merge both the live action and animated versions of Alice In Wonderland; maybe have it as a mini land of its own? There is certainly enough material for one. You could even call it Underland to tie to the film version.

Gosh and something else; Villains !! They need their own place....maybe they could have the Forbidden Mountain, and have an evil themed area?

I wish the show on the boat with Tiana would have stayed as that was a wonderful show but it was only temporary.

I thought that was a permanent thing ? Thats such a shame ! Tiana should have more of a presence for sure, especially as its already in New Orleans !

There's still enough extra space in the World Showcase for one more country/continent. Personally, I'd like to see it used for a South American country, like Brazil or Argentina (Mexico is North American, so it doesn't count ), or possibly Africa like they originally planned to. Maybe even Australia, since there's plenty of different things you can do with that, including a potentially awesome barbecue restaurant or two.

Another thing that I would like to see is a retheming of the American pavilion, from less of a turn of the century look to a pre-colonial setting. You can still keep The American Adventure, but also add in another kind of show or video that educates people on the life of Native Americans before the white people came, and get into the advantages and disadvantages Native Americans have experienced since. It may be a little heavy for some, but it's definitely a message that should be spread across for the less educated. And to be fair, it would also be a good incentive for more meet and greets, with Pocahontas and John Smith.

I'd also like to see more rides in the World Showcase, although maybe not another boat ride, like the planned gondola for Italy. I really like the Maelstrom and Three Caballeros rides, but there's always room for more!

It was at WDW from the end of 2009 to beginning of 2010. I loved it though and wish it would have stayed.

I like the Australia one but what about Switzerland and include a Matterhorn ride like at Disneyland. I think they had originally planned it and was scrapped.

TPATF should 100% have more of a presence ….. you could even do just a simple overlay to an already in place eatery and serve bignets etc !

From what I've read, where eventually became he location for Space Mountain was supposed to be where Magic Kingdom's Matterhorn was supposed to be located, but they didn't actually have enough room, and Disney wanted to try this scientific roller coaster idea out instead, so they never bothered to try to bring the Matterhorn to WDW again. Unless you count Expedition Everest.

Epcot has quite a bit of spare space, but I'm pretty sure not enough for the Matterhorn. I also think that there's enough European representation in the World Showcase, personally. But really, I'd take just about anything to update Epcot a little, although I'm still hesitant about the Frozen overhaul in the Maelstrom. Now that new Fantasyland is done, i hope there's time to change things around at Epcot a little as well.

Same here, as I find myself just glancing over the pavilions between China and the American Adventure, then continuing on to catch one of the shows at the American Adventure. If I went outside of the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival time, I just go right past them, as they don't have much to offer (at least to me).

Also, I like to see something new to replace Captain EO and the film that currently plays at the Norway pavilion. Both are very outdated, and the latter one, I see a lot more people skipping than just sitting down to watch it. Maybe they could update the film, and have it hosted by some of the Frozen characters.

But please, no changes to the Maelstrom ride.

There have been rumors that they've actually been playing Frozen footage instead of the Norway video, but that was shot down almost instantly. I don't think it would be a bad call to do that, especially if they want more representation of the film in the Norway section. Just do that, add Anna and Elsa to Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, and sell more Frozen merch in the shops, but yeah, keep them out of the Maelstrom!

Captain EO could also be replaced, yeah. It's been 5 years since MJ has died, and while it's cute, there's definitely room for an update in Future World, as well. Even turning the theater into Marvel showcases or something could work.

They sell beignets at the QSR in Port Orleans' French Quarter resort, which is Mardi Gras themed.

Still, I want to see Tiana's Place make its way into a park. Disney needs more groovy jazz.

Oh, me too! I still wish that they made Tiana's Place in the Fantasyland expansion instead of Gaston's Tavern. I get that BATB is the more popular film, but it's a tad redundant to give it two new restaurants side by side, and leave TPATF out of things.

I wish they made a show for TPATF like they did with the show when it first came out on Liberty Belle at WDW. It was wonderful.

Exactamundo, I couldn't agree more ! And Mardi Gras is even featured in TPATF as well, so can collaborate even more ! Would love to have a little homage to Charlotte there as well, one of the funniest and underrated Disney characters I think.

I know this would never happen but I'd love to see the Mystery Shack from Gravity Falls in the parks and I once thought that rides based on some of the Disney channel cartoons, both Disney Channel. D Disney Junior would be fun.

I would like to see Phineas and Ferb the ride in Disney World!

I'll have to remember that, next time I go to WDW. I have not had beignets since 1999, which was also my last visit to New Orleans itself.

One of these days, I will have to devote a day, exploring all the Disney resorts, as I hear, they can be attractions in themselves.
