This thread has been made in response to a section in the Samland blog called "If I Were King of Disneyland" (http://micechat.com/blogs/samland/33...isneyland.html), to which I have made contributions myself.
Anyway, in this thread, I will answer the question, "If I were king of Walt Disney World, and I could do anything I wanted and didn't have to worry about budgets and politics (because I am the one who sets all of them and I could do what I wanted with them as I saw fit), what would I do?"
The answer to this question lies in this thread, and I challenge you to answer the question yourself: what would you do?
Let's begin with the Magic Kingdom, the first park to come and the one to draw fifteen million guests each year.
For one thing, given the often punishing weather of Florida, all materials would be fixed or replaced with other materials so that they won't rot away.
Meanwhile, on Main Street, I was really obsessing with trying to take Walt Disney: One Man's Dream out of the Studios and bringing it here to the Magic Kingdom instead. But the only real logical spot for it has been taken over the Mickey meet-n-greet. Then I thought (or rather, someone else thought at first) maybe I could break up the show and exhibits into various smaller exhibits and scatter them to all the parks and themeing them all appropriately. In the case of the Magic Kingdom, there will be a special exhibit on the theme parks in general and Disneyland in particular and calling it Walt Disney - One Man's Vision: Disneyland. It would go into the Main Street Cinema. It wouldn't need a big theater for the movie on it, just a small screen and some various exhibit artifacts here and there, maybe even a scale model of the Disneyland of Walt's dreams (something like the scale model of the park at the Disney Family Museum in San Francisco).
More to come later! In the meantime, what you do if you were ruler of the Magic Kingdom?
