Dream Kingdom: Fantasyland

 

Enter a world where fantasy becomes reality, where fairy tales live, and where dreams are brought to life. This is Fantasyland, a magnificent storybook kingdom that is fun for the whole family. It is also the biggest area in the park.

Standing in front of the land is the Enchanted Fairy Tale Castle, the icon of the park that pays homage to all of the Disney Princesses. It is the second-largest castle after the Enchanted Storybook Castle in Shanghai. Inside the castle, guests can eat at the Fairy Tale Dining Room, become princesses or knights at Bippiti Boppiti Boutique, and buy merchandise at Castle Corner. When guests leave the castle, they enter a Bavarian-style village. On the right side is the Royal Reception Hall, where guests can meet the princesses. Nearby that is Pinocchio Village Kitchen. In the center of the village is Cinderella's Carousel. On the left is Peter Pan's Flight, an extended version of the ride, and a themed restaurant called Neverland Nook. Going further to the right, guests find Mickey's PhilharMagic, a new version of the 3-D show with randomized sequences. The show exits into Symphony Store. Across from that is the boarding area for the Dream Voyage, a boat ride where guests pass sculptures of Disney stories, similar to the Voyage to the Crystal Grotto in Shanghai Disneyland. Going back to the left side, guests can also buy Christmas supplies at Holiday Haus.

Going clockwise around the land, guests find a Wonderland area near the border with Adventureland. In the center of it is Mad Tea Party, which is in a covered pavilion to protect it from bad weather. Behind that is the Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall, a buffet-style restaurant. Also nearby is the trackless dark ride, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, where guests go on a journey through the nonsensical realm aboard "hats." The ride exits into Curiouser and Curiouser, a gift shop.

Next up is a forest area. It is most notable for a new version of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, which is longer and follows more of the storyline of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The ride exits into Mountainside Treasures. Also inside the mountain is the Fantasyland station for the Disneytopia Railroad, which goes to Tomorrowland. The Snuggly Duckling, a restaurant inspired by Tangled, is also near the mountain. In the back of the area is a forested location where guests can ride The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Pooh Corner is a gift shop at the end of the ride that doubles as a bakery. Also in this area is "It's a Small World," the classic boat ride, now with more countries represented. Festival Food is a snack stand nearby. Also nearby is a pavilion where certain Disney characters meet.

As guests go further around the area, they come into a French village, inspired by the one seen in Beauty and the Beast. They can go further south or go east to enter the village. Near a fountain of Gaston is Gaston's Tavern and Enchanted Objects. Guests can also go to Belle's house, where Maurice's Traders is located. In the back of the area near the Tomorrowland border is the Beast's castle, where guests can go on a new version of the Tokyo ride, The Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast. This is a longer version that focuses more on story than song, unlike the Tokyo version. Also in the mountain is the "Be Our Guest" Restaurant.

Finally, there is a circus area. This portion features the Big Top Souvenirs gift shop and the Casey, Jr. Food Court, where guests are served food from train cars. The headliner attraction, however, is Dumbo the Flying Elephant, which sits on the border with the Bavarian village. Like the Magic Kingdom version of the ride, two spinners go at a time.

This area didn't have to go through too much development. I settled on an ideal version of the area a long time ago and so I went from there. However, I made some tweaks to help things flow better. I also placed the station inside the mountain, because I think it would be cool to board the train inside a diamond mine. I also included the Dream Voyage because I felt like it would be a good addition to the land.

    I really like that you are bringing foreign attractions to the American parks! Thanks for including some of those.

Dream Kingdom: Main Street, U.S.A.

Image
  Like most castle parks, guests enter the park through Main Street. Recreating a Midwestern American town at the turn of the Twentieth Century, this area takes inspiration from Walt Disney's childhood home of Marceline, Missouri. What sets this apart from other Main Streets is that it has tunnels into nearby lands that are not accessible from the hub. After going through the main gates, guests will come across a floral Mickey below the train station. They will then enter the town square through one of two tunnels on both sides of the hill. On the left side is City Hall, where guests can find help and services. In the town square, they can also go up to the train station and board the Disneytopia Railroad, which departs to Frontierland. On the right side of the square is Mickey and the Magic Hat, an original stage show. Guests can also meet Mickey himself in Mickey's Magic Room near the theater. Near City Hall is the Firehouse, where guests can pick up wands and sign up for Dre...

  Across the river from Mermaid Lagoon is another family area, Arabian Coast. Inspired by the mythology of the Middle East, specifically Aladdin, this land immerses guests in an exotic location with many fun surprises. When crossing the bridge from Mermaid Lagoon, guests come into a bazaar. To the right is a large Arabian Palace, home to the Sultan's Palace restaurant as well as a double decker carousel, the Caravan Carousel. Going into the bazaar, guests will find things such as 3 Wishes and Enchanted Bazaar, both of which are shops, and Open Sesame, a restaurant.

Going further to the left, guests find a large, Arabian fortress overlooking the water. Here is where they can ride Sinbad's Storybook Voyage, which relates to a ride in Tokyo Disneysea.

  For those who crave adventure, this is your spot. Here, guests will be immersed in exotic locations on daring adventures, traveling the world and facing the perils within. Aside from that, they will also get a taste of culture from Polynesia, South America, Southeast Asia, and the Caribbean. When entering from the hub, the first area that guests enter is a Polynesian area. On the left is where they'll find Tangaroa Terrace, a restaurant. On the right is the Hono Hut, a gift shop, and Aloha Island, where Dole Whip is served. Past this is the Enchanted Tiki Room, complete with new effects, aquariums, and some more advanced audio-animatronics, all while keeping the charm of the original. At the bank of a river is a theater where guests can watch the stage show We Know the Way: A Celebration of Moana. To the left of this area is a South American region. Here, guests can shop at the Adventureland Storage or grab snacks at Piranha Bites. Near a passage into Frontierland is the Explorer...
