An Aussie Island in the Epcot Lagoon

[PrincessBelle39]

Good point, and I will need to add a quality hotel to our small island paradise.

How about building Disney's great Australian campsite. No woosey 5 star Wilderness Lodge type stuff, real camping underneath the stars (or Illuninations) in tents on camp beds.

We could build the campsite near the crocodile wrestling to make it a more interesting "interactive" experience and have the Kangaroos and Koalas wandering through the campsite to keep the guests happy.

I'll bring the Aeroguard.

Well you know the beer's involved when someone joins in with the croc wrestling...

Can we wait 7 years then?

(I'm only 3 weeks out from my 14th b-day and I'm not allowed to drink yet)

Here's some good news-in Australia the legal drinking age is 18

But that plan isn't fair to the other countries, the island is HUGE! LOL. If we could shrink it down to the size of two of the current islands combined, that might work better! LOL.

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

NO.

UH UH.

WON'T WORK!

There used to be a little "island" in the lake at the Boardwalk. Now if you look, there is merely a bouy.

Why?

Because the boat captains kept running into the island.

Could you imagine the news when the front page of the Orlando Sentinel reported that "Friendship Boat collides with and sinks Australia!"

Hey Bob,
Thanks for the offer of picking me up from the Airport with Cart Cam.
I will ring when I arrive with my hammer.

That captain needs to open his eyes...

Hmm.

As much as I'd like an Australia pavillion at WS, I think an Australia "land" at Animal Kingdom would make more sense.

Just my opinion

 

[miss missy]

I sooo want to go!!

Cool, I am easy going and I like Animal Kindom.

Are you thing of Ayers Rock taking over Everest, or are we looking at a new land.

[miss missy]

If we keep it an island... can't we add a nice way to get us there... hmmm

 

[Aussiejohn]

The harbour bridge would be great.

New land

They could either reshape Discovery Island a little and retheme it rotfl: ) or put it in between Asia and Camp Minnie-Mickey (which is honestly something I'd like to see them do)

 

[Aussiejohn]

 

[tinkerbellblondie19]

Or they could just bulldoze Camp Minnie-Mickey...

Hi Guys,
I have just come across a Jim Hill article regarding concepts that have been given to Disney about a Australian Pavilion.

Check out the article at http://jimhillmedia.com/blogs/jim_h...-showcase-pavilions-being-built-at-epcot.aspx

The link contains the full story and concept art.

Who knows, the Australian dream may come true after all. Let me know what you think.
