The New Disneytopia

  And there you have it, folks. That's the newest and greatest draft of my dream Disney resort. For those of you who have read this, what do you think? What is the best park? What other things do you like? Tell me in the comments below.

  Let's talk about how to get around. Guests will always find bus stops at their hotels, where busses can take them to the parks. However, some can travel a different way: Monorails: The Dream Kingdom and its hotels are connected via monorail. Another monorail connects to the Nautical Kingdom and its hotels, and both monorails can meet at a station.  Skyliner: There is also a skyliner ride that can take guests to Cinematic Kingdom, Wavy Island, and their hotels. Although it stops in the Disney Central area, it does not go there. Boats: Boats go from Disney Central to its nearby hotels.

  Come to this tropical hideaway off the coast of Mexico. This water park takes inspiration from many real-life beach resorts in that area,  In addition, it has a touch of Disney magic, thus making it the ultimate water theme park experience. This park is split into four "villages." When entering the park, the first one guests come into is the Beach Village. With straw buildings and other touches, they will feel like they're in Cancun. In the park's only Spanish-style building, guests will find help and services at La Hacienda. Nearby is the restaurant Costa Ora Cantina and the gift shops Wavy Island Traders and Iconos de Mexico. Up ahead at the base of the mountain, guests will find the Wavy Bay wave pool. Guests can also find a children's play area called Shipwreck Shoals. Going around the park and stopping in the Jungle and River villages is El Rio Tranquilo, a lazy river. Additionally, guests will find the Mexican Art Gallery here. Going to the left, guests en...

  Welcome to the shopping, dining, and entertainment district of the resort, Disney Central. This is Disneytopia's counterpart to Downtown Disney in California and Disney Springs in Florida. In three sections, guests can find a wide array of experiences. The first area guests enter into is the West Side. Here, guests will find two restaurants when they first enter: Earl of Sandwich and Eileen's Ice Cream. Also nearby is Splitville Luxury Lanes, where guests can go bowling. On the left is water while more can be found on the right, including Disney's 12 Days of Christmas, McCool's Irish Pub, Build-a-Bear Workshop, Gem and Jane's Jewelry, Tech Wizz, and Goofy's Candy Co.

  Disneytopia features this iconic fast pass system. "Don't wait in line, get a time!" is our motto, and it allows you to skip the regular lines and enjoy your favorite attractions sooner.

  Deluxe Value These resorts are the fanciest ones, but also more expensive than the other hotels. They tend to give guests the best possible experience with their themed dining and entertainment.

  This is where the worlds of the groundbreaking animation studio comes to life. In three separate areas, guests can be immersed in the worlds of some of their favorite Pixar movies.

  The third gate of the Disneytopia resort is its most immersive park yet. Themed to the world of movies, Cinematic Kingdom is a studio park with five incredible lands. This includes a studio section, Hollywood Gardens, and four immersive worlds branching off of that. Here are the five areas: Hollywood Gardens Worlds of Pixar Kingdom of Arendelle Pandora: The World of Avatar Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge These areas will be gone over in later posts. Out of all the parks, this was the most challenging one to develop. I went through many ideas before landing on the movie realms idea. The layout would be similar to Universal's Epic Universe park, and it would be built on a similar scale to that. However, the results I have gotten from this park are exciting and innovative, and I truly believe this could live up to its inspiration.

Here, food and drinks from many countries are sold in pavilions over the fall, and themed merchandise is sold. Holidays at Nautical Kingdom It's time to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year.
