Walt Disney World is a tribute to the philosophy and life of Walter Elias Disney...and to the talents, the dedication, and the loyalty of the entire Disney organization that made Walt Disney's dream come true. May Walt Disney World bring Joy and Inspiration and New Knowledge to all who come to this happy place...a Magic Kingdom where the young at heart of all ages can laugh and play and learn—together.
The red-and-gold colored Magic Kingdom logo will be used once again.
As you enter Walt Disney World's flagship park through the magical turnstiles, you leave today and enter a world of adventure and fantasy, yesterday, and tomorrow. Your gateway to six themed areas of fun is Main Street USA, a seaside American town booming with life (inspired by the golden ages of Atlantic City, Cape May, Santa Monica, and Coney Island). In the windows above, you can see advertisements for Dr. Peter Smith's Concentrated Medicine and Tiffany Roseberry's Star Dance Classes. If you have a sharp ear, you can hear the sounds of a bubbling concoction or energetic tap dancing from these windows respectively. Main Street USA is the first stop on the Walt Disney World Railroad. At the train depot, you can embark on a grand-circle tour of the Magic Kingdom or travel to Libertyland, Roger Rabbit's Toontown, or Tomorrowland. Joining the four current locomotives on the railroad will be the Abraham Lincoln. The train's colors are red, white, and blue (representing the USA). It's similar to the trains that would carry 19th Century US presidents and the George Washington train at Disneyland Paris. Its cars' names are references to places that are important in American history: New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Burlington, and Plymouth. In the Town Square, The Main Street Vehicles will comprise of the Fire Engine, the Horseless Carriage, the Paddy Wagon, and Horse-Drawn Trolley, the Omnibus, and the Ambulance. Across the street from the Town Square, in the Main Street Opera House, is Mark Twain Tonight, a multimedia show in which characters from The Adventures of Tom SawyerThe Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and The Prince & the Pauper pay tribute to Samuel Clemens, known in other circles as Mark Twain. 
Adventureland hosts six attractions: The Swiss Family Treehouse, which remains unchanged, a revamped version of The Jungle Cruise, The Magic Carpets of Agrabah, which has been moved to the vacant plot between the entrance from Main Street USA and The Swiss Family Treehouse, The Enchanted Tiki Room: Aloha E Komo Mai, a version of the ETR lent to me by JE Smith on WDWMagic, Pirates of the Caribbean, which adds the Pepper's Ghost effect that was once planned for the queue and the sword-fighting duo from Paris and rotates between Davy Jones and Blackbeard on the mist screen before the drop, and a voodoo version of Raging Spirits at Tokyo DisneySea.
Frontierland and Liberty Square are combined to become Libertyland, a land celebrating America's colonial days and the era of manifest destiny. Splash Mountain is removed to make room for The Redemption River Expedition, a  similar attraction that combines the general concept of  The Western River Expedition with the world of the video game Red Dead Redemption. This ride will also be found in Disneyland Park, Disneyland Paris, Tokyo Disneyland, Hong Kong Disneyland, Mumbai Disneyland, Dubai Disneyland, Disneyland Brazil, and Disney's Great American Adventure. The canoes are renamed The Native American War Canoes while the dock is moved closer to The Hatfield-McCoy Shootin' Exposition, which replaced The Country Bear Playhouse, which, in turn, moved to Disney's Animal KingdomBig Thunder Mountain Railroad and Tom Sawyer Island remain unchanged. As desired by many Disney fans, The Diamond Horseshoe Saloon Revue returns to its original spot. Mike Fink's Keelboats return as The Hall of Presidents gets a new narration (still by Morgan Freeman) and an update every time a new president is sworn into office. The Liberty Belle Riverboat also gets a new spiel while The Haunted Mansion gets the "decay" Tokyo's mansion has. To top off the land, I added a dark ride called The Legend of Sleepy Hollow that takes up much of the vacant space between The Haunted Mansion and It's A Small World, as well as Fantasyland's former Skyway station. The attraction would be based upon the Ichabod Crane section of The Adventures of Ichabod Crane & Mr. Toad.
In Fantasyland, It's A Small World gets a drastic refurbishment similar to that of Disneyland Park's in Anaheim, California. The indoor queue, not actually changing it layout, becomes outdoor while the mural is updated to the white-and-gold clock tower design seen at Disneyland Park's version of the attraction. Peter Pan's Flight's name changes to Peter Pan's Flight to Neverland. Returning to the Fantasyland Theatre is The Mickey Mouse Musical RevueIt isn't be the same from 1971 for the songs in this version are "Heigh-Ho," "The Mickey Mouse Club March," When You Wish Upon A Star,""A Whole New World," "Hakuna Matata," "Under the Sea," "Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf?," "I'm Wishing," "The Silly Song," "Dig A Little Deeper," "The Three Caballeros," Bippidi-Boppidi-Boo," "So This Is Love," and "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah."Cinderella Castle gets Tokyo's paint job. Behind the castle, Prince Charming's Regal Carousel is renamed King Arthur's Golden Carousel. On Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Timothy gets his whip back. Snow White's Scary Adventures is replaced by The Quest for the Black Cauldron, a classic dark ride based on the 1985 film The Black Cauldron. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is removed in favor of a new version of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, inspired by the version Randy Savage created on his blog. Walking north of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, you come across Ariel's Undersea Voyage, which remains unchanged. Making up for the loss of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is Pooh's Hunny Hunt, a more technologically advanced version of the attraction in Tokyo Disneyland. Next is The Skyway to Tomorrowland, which got the completely enclosed cabins from Tokyo, just to make sure there are no accidents whatsoever. Pinocchio's Daring Journey lies west of the Skyway station, closely resembling the version designed by mharrington on WDWMagic.
Replacing Storybook Circus is Roger Rabbit's Toontown, a hybrid of the Toontown seen in the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and what Toontown would have looked liked during the black-&-white cartoon era. The first attraction in this land is Chip & Dale's Treehouse, which is the same as it is at Disneyland Park. Next is Oswald's Adventure House, where you can explore the home of Toontown's bumbling adventurer, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. One of the two main anchors in this land is Roger Rabbit's Car-Toon Spin, which combines elements from both the version at Disneyland Park and at Tokyo Disneyland.
Designer's Note: At one point in time, I considered using Test Track's ride system for the Floridian version of Roger Rabbit's Car-Toon Spin. I later scrapped that for two reasons: it would give Roger Rabbit's Toontown two extreme thrill rides and it would give Walt Disney World four Test Track-style rides (There are already The World of Motion at EPCOT Center, The Radiator Springs Racers at Disney Studios Florida, and Journey to the Center of the Earth at Port Disney.)
After Roger Rabbit's Car-Toon Spin come Minnie's Beauty House and Mickey's Wonder House, which closely resemble their old versions from Mickey's Toontown Fair. Also getting a cousin in Orlando is Goofy's Paint & Playhouse, the replacement for Goofy's Bounce House at Tokyo Disneyland. This would also give Walt Disney World a nod to Epic Mickey. Going under the depot for the third stop on The Walt Disney World Railroad, we come across The Mystery Mask Mission, a Darkwing Duck-themed rollercoaster with the same thrill factor as The Hyperion Screamer. This is the other main anchor in this land. Donald's Boat comes back as Donald's Dock. This version of the attraction takes more elements from the Mickeyville (abandoned Tokyo Disneyland concept) version of it rather than from its American counterparts. The Great Goofini's Barnstormer is rethemed to Plane Crazy, a kiddy coaster themed to the 1927 cartoon of the same name.

Tomorrowland gets a drastic overhaul and expansion, even going back to its Saarinen look from 1975, only with Tokyo's monolith/mural design. The Tomorrowland Indy Speedway is rethemed to an intergalactic NASCAR speedway and given the name The Grand Circuit Speedway. The god-awful Stitch's Great Escape gets the boot in favor of a more technologically advanced version of The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter, featuring the guns from Stitch's Great Escape and a proper warning outside. Astro Orbitor is renamed Astro Jets while it takes the jets from Tokyo Disneyland's Star Jets and anchors them to a "Tower of the Planets"-like sculpture (very different from what the have now, though). The only change coming to The Tomorrowland PeopleMover is a new narration by ORAC-1.  The Monsters Inc Laugh Floor Comedy Club is rethemed to The Metropolis Intergalactic Comedy Club, featuring Plectu as MC and a cast of comedians from around the universe
Designer's Note: As mush as I like The Monsters Inc Laugh Floor Comedy Club, I feel that it conflicts with the theming of Tomorrowland a tiny bit.
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin receives the removable guns from all the other versions oft he attraction. Replacing The Galaxy Palace Theatre and making up for the loss of Mickey's PhilharMagic is Invading AXIOM, a 3D film based on Wall-E. A new version of Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress makes 40-year jumps instead of 20-year jumps. A lot of attractions are using the vacant plot between Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress and Space Mountain. An updated, safer version of Fantasyland's former 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea attraction finds its home here as The Skyway, the Walt Disney World Railroad, and The Walt Disney World Monorail build stations/depots here. That's right; the monorail's hotel line is being rerouted into Tomorrowland. A new fleet of monorails include blue, red, green, yellow, purple, pink, orange, white, and black trains. Space Mountain receives all the changes it was supposed to get in the 2009 refurbishment, but never got.
Well, that's the way it is until next time!

  1. Good Job. Keep Up the Good Work. Also, I Like the Way When You Bringing Back to the Mickey Mouse Revue and Alien Encounter.

  2. @Music Box Set I have looked over your ideas and believe that it needs a little work. Although I'm not trying to offend you in any way whatsoever, I am offering you advice on how to design Disney theme parks and attractions. Please reply if you take this offer.

    1. It's None Taken. I Have My Own Ideas Like Sora, Donald & Goofy: The Ride (aka Double Trouble Motor Maina), Camp Rock: The Final Jam Revue and More. Can I Use Some of Your Ideas in My Blog?

    2. I'm not trying to dictate every little thing you want to have in the park. All I ask is that you don't include a lot of Kingdom Hearts and Disney Channel. Although I see where you connected Camp Rock and Critter Country, that franchise has absolutely no place in such a land. And having a Kingdom Hearts attractions in every land is just plain overkill.

    3. I Only Have Some Kingdom Hearts Attractions in Some Lands Sometimes, But Not All the Time. But I Will Reuse the Music from Old Disney Park Attractions and Place Them into New Ones. Reason Why, I Put a Camp Rock Attraction in Critter Country Because Campers Also Represents the Nature and Wildlife.

      Delete
    4. While I do agree with campers representing nature and wildlife, Critter Country is set around the time of Song of the South (Splash Mountain), not in the 21st Century (Camp Rock). And when you design a Camp Rock attraction, what will you do with it in about 10 to 20 years, when probably nobody will remember those movies.

    5. I Thought That I Could Combine and Re-create a Plot for Critter Country. Like One Day, Campers Enjoy their Visit in Critter Country and They Encounter with Critters (Such as Otters, Bears, Turtles, Raccoons, etc.) However, I Tell You About Fantasyland and Tomorrowland New Plot Next Time.
