Just in case Josh D'Amaro ever reads these forums for research reasons.. Let's give him some genius ideas to take Disney to the next level.
Idea #1) At WDW, make Animal Kingdom a Skyliner Hub. Connect it as a branch to Hollywood Studio's line. Then all 4 of your parks will have a magical transport instead of relying on buses, which are a common transport method. Then connect the Animal Kingdom Lodge via that hub :) Kidani or Jambo, they can share.

Bring back Tables in Wonderland:) Now that I am local it would pay for itself fast ( prob why he'll never do it) And for those not local, bring back Magical Express, I still SMH at that decision.
As a AKL owner, I'd definitely like another mode of transportation from AK to Lodge but for me, the bus or our car is doable. I am not a skyliner fan, I'd prefer a monorail. Not that fits AK theme either LOL but its something

I know I used Tables in Wonderland. I'm definitely onboard with that recommendation :)

Return of Magical Express, please.
When Lakeshore Lodge opens please reopen the path between the Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness.
At least one or two free lightening lanes if staying on property. Those first 3 freebie fast passes were golden! There does not seem to be such a draw to stay on property. Also the extra hours that were a really good amount of time. I remember being in the park till 2am!!! The night time ones were amazing. They sort of popped the bubble taking away some of those reasons to stay deluxe on property! The extra $$ party tickets are such a $ grab now-expecially with a family.
Always planning the next visit-now two of my kids moved to Fla...so guess what???
Planning/training for my first runDisney in Oct.....yikes!

Yes!!! Were staying at wilderness lodge in Feb 2027, this is all i want!! I realize that the opening for lakeshore lodge is summer 2027 but maaaaybe they can open the path before!!
My suggestion would be to open up another attraction or two at Epcot, since the walking to ride ratio is too dang high. Ive enjoyed watching videos on this topic, DVCfans included, offhand disney had a good one too. My favorite ideas were, a sensory exploratory area, themed to inside out, and an aladdin carpet ride in morocco. Anything in morocco, please.
Morocco sponsorship needs to revert back to the Kingdom of Morocco somehow, Disney has made it an embarrassing shell of itself:( it used to be one of my favorite pavillions! I agree there need to be at least 2 more added, maybe Spain and I would love Greece.

Totally agree about Morocco, so sad. However, I do recall a nice dinner with my friends at the Spice Road Table ;-)
I never got to eat at the signature restaurant they had there...bring it back! Hmmm, Spain & Greece would be good; however, I would think Brazil would be a no-brainer given that they have more visitors than any other outside country.

Add a hotel on the Epcot Monrail loop. Lots of room there and options. And with more rooms we need more attractions. ADD ADD ADD. Need to eat up some people. It is my biggest peeve right now. Reworking a current attraction does not count. I know some are coming in 5 years. (Cars and villans). I dont feel it is enough.

In fairness I think right now it is a safety issue due to construction, hence the KEEP OUT sign at the entrance to the old path.

I know at Disneyland they've started experimenting with resort guests get a free LL instead early entry and for me I would rather have a free LL than early entry. To me early entry just means you shift standing in line for a ride to standing in line outside the park. I realize at Disneyland they only have three hotels for two parks but if they maybe made that an option for Disney World I would take a free LL over early entry (I'm sure some would take early entry) or even if they made it an option for Deluxe Resort and Villa guests.

Yes! Dinner was wonderful with you! We do love Spice Road Table, the rest of the pavilion is disappointing though.
Brazil makes sense, that and Spain were both rumored to be rhe next country but nothing came of it

I'm going big.... I want to see a new theme park. I asked my kids and one said do an Animation Kingdom.... have an Inside Out land, Tangled Land, etc. I would love to see a proper Tron land just because walking into that lit up land at night would be awesome.

Figment needs serious love! My son absolutely adores this ride. He sings all the way through it. Please give it a makeover, it's in desperate need. People love Figment, he is the mascot of Epcot.

Yes to nosuchsolβs idea on a 5th gate! I like their idea better actually but my thought on this would be a Villians park. Yes weβre already getting a villains land in Magic kingdom, and that can stay but be geared towards kids and a family friendly atmosphere. Villains park can be dark and edgey and fun. Make it scary and awesome. Oh and bring back alien encounter!!!
Expand Animal Kingdom Park, and create a path to the park from the Resort. Awesome Resort that would really benefit from direct access to the park. Agree with the above in that hook it into the skyliner hub at Hollywood studios. Animal Kingdom is simply a beautiful park that in not utilized to its potential. Creating a bigger better attended park would take pressure off the need for a 5th gate. If you were able to do this you could also expand the resort at sometime down the line. It would be very desirable.

I agree, if you are going to associate a resort with a park, it needs to have some form of special access to that park.

As someone who loves the Cucumber Sprite, I love this idea...
If I could have him do one thing, itβs bring back the βstreetsmosphereβ people to the parks. The mayor of Main Street and co. In MK, the hollywood characters walking around Studios, even the robot and muppet mobile labs in Epcot. While weβre at it bring back the Grand Floridian orchesrta.

More QS breakfast options at the park! Staying DVC and there isn't great QS breakfast options with no cafeteria style places at scale, plus I'm ready to get to the parks for rope drop. Just doesn't make sense why there is nothing to eat 1 hour post rope drop, Joffrey's could easily stock some yogurt parfaits, oats, maybe even breakfast tacos in a warmer which would go a long way. It's like I want to spend more money but Disney doesn't want to sell it, so odd!

1) Resurrect the plan for Cherry Tree Lane in the UK pavilion and add a great Mary Poppins dark ride
2)Skyliner extension from HS to AK and AKL/Kidani
3)Three free LL per park day for deluxe guests
4)Proper duvets / bedding in deluxe resorts and villas
5)Return of non-expiring tickets

Put the Main Street costumes back on the Pandora employees asap. De-theming a themed environment to sellβ¦.jewelry? Not cool.
Uncle Deadly should be the Figment of Villains Land.
I want fierce merch of the only other muppet Miss Piggy trusts for style advice.
I also third everything said about Morocco. The shopping there used to be so fantastic.

I would have bought at BWV but they got rid of the clown.

I heard the Mary Poppins ride was just going to be a teacups type ride not a dark ride? If that really was the case im ok that they scrapped it. Not every park has to feel like another Magic Kingdom land.

You make two great points - better breakfast options in the parks for sure but also its worth noting moderates have better QS than Deluxe resorts. I feel like they should be of equal caliber. Many of the Deluxe resort QS are tiny and in the case of Boardwalk Iβm not sure they even have one?

Ok thanks for that info - same idea. An MK ride in Epcot. Pass.
I don't think building a regular carousel would have the wow factor it might have otherwise had given the departure from design Universal went with in Epic.
