Dream Kingdom: Tomorrowland

 

In a thin part of the park is an optimistic look into the future. Here, Tomorrowland returns to its realistic roots, even though it tries to stay contemporary in its attractions. No showcase of current technology or ideas. To prevent it from becoming yesterday, this Tomorrowland focuses on things such as progress, electric vehicles, space exploration, problem solving, and even far-fetched ideas like time travel.

When guests enter from the hub, they walk down a futuristic alleyway between two large, high-tech buildings. On the left is Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress. This is not a relocation of the Magic Kingdom show, but a second incarnation of it, with an ending featuring Walt Disney's Progress City (an idea that would evolve into EPCOT.) This exits into Galaxy Gifts. On the right is Time Adventures, a trackless dark ride where guests travel through time, visiting places such as Feudal Japan, the Old West, the Prehistoric age, and even Walt Disney's dedication of Disneyland in 1955. The ride exits into the Chronostore. Also exiting into Galaxy Gifts is the Constellation Theater, an entertaining show telling of certain constellations and the mythology behind them.

Going into the main plaza, guests come across an elevated tower where they can ride Jet-Pacs, a spinner ride based off of a concept found in Shanghai. Also here is the loading station for the Peoplemover, which takes guests on an aerial tour of Tomorrowland and Possibilityland. To the left is Futuristic Foods, a snack stand, and Electric Eats, a quick service restaurants. Also over here is the Tomorrowland station for the Disneytopia Railroad, which heads to Main Street, and the Electric Speedway, similar to Autopia. However, the big attraction here is Space Mountain. This classic coaster exits into the Space Supply Store.

Finally, near the border with Possibilityland is a futuristic expo-type pavilion. Here, guests can ride Cnetury 22, where they can see possible solutions and achievements in the future and then get to plan their own future, like on Spaceship Earth. Also in the area is Progress Pizza.

45. Peoplemover
46. Jet-Pacs

This was kind of a tricky area to make. I wanted a realistic view of the future, but I also didn't want a view that would quickly become outdated. So I tried this..... I added things like Time Adventures and Space Mountain so that it wouldn't feel boring, but I also balanced that with educational attractions like Century 22, the Carousel of Progress, and the Constellation Theater. Hopefully I got the right balance here.

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

  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. Also near the bazaar is a wet spinner ride, Aladdin's Flying Carpets. Not too far from there is where guests will find Agrabah Cafe. 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.

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...
