Just a Dream Away- The Imagineering Thread*Are you curious, imaginative, dedicated?

Oh, and DL also has a MASSIVE parking garage to save room, plus a ton of other lots (some a mile away). Those parking lots will be imporant should they ever open a 3rd gate in the strawberry fields.


So... I was thinking. I really wish they'd made the Switzerland pavillion in Epcot. The Matterhorn is SUCH an awesome attraction for WDW not to have. I'm all for having original rides at each resort, but man that was just B.A.

greece! with ___________________ wow almost spilled my ideas

 

[WDWtraveler27]

yesterday for about 30 min. ideas kept coming out...right now im in the process of developing 4

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

That's awesome xD

Yeah I was just thinking about how well done it is... So intricately themed, etc.

I think the World Showcase has some of the best Imagineering in WDW.

 

[I Am What I Am]

I remember hearing somewhere that the World Showcase pavilions follow the laws of that country. Is this right or did I hear some mis-information?

I agree.. The idea was tossed around, but I'm ultimately glad they didn't add it.

I think anyone who is a fan of WDW or any Disney parks should learn about the other parks in the world.

That way you get a good idea of what else is out there!


Honestly the Matterhorn was so much fun, and the line moves SO FAST. [Probably because it doesn't have FP machines/lines]

I think Morocco is the pavilion that has those stipulations, the king and all.

Every mural has cracked tiles because "only Allah can make something perfect". Also, there's a prayer room I've yet to find, and they don't light it up for IllumiNations, because I think, of the prayer room. (But I don't remember if that's true or not)

 

[WDWtraveler27]

yeah they dont light it cuz something about religion or culture...but its cool tht the king sent his private architect

When we visited my dad's friends in Long Beach there was an imagineer living just four doors down the road.

The little girl said when she babysitted for him, he gave her a parkhopper pass as payment

 

[WDWtraveler27]
