Would you want an Aladdin restaurant in Magic Kingdom?

[Micca]

Why do you want the ride gone?

It's an off-the-shelf state fair ride. Aladdin was such a blockbuster movie and deserves so much more. A themed restaurant done right would be so much more entertaining.

Agreed.

I agree, but there's something about riding on a flying carpet. I haven't been on Dumbo since before it went to the tent, but we still ride the carpets.
So if the "off-the-shelf" carpet ride were to go away, I'd want a replacement totally immersive magic carpet ride -- without removing Philharmagic either.

If they'd like to develop a fully Imagineered attraction around Aladdin, I'd be all in for that. But the question was regarding an Aladdin themed restaurant, which I think has more potential than the current attraction.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Oh for sure it's a non-starter.

If I were king (or genie) I would not trade the carpets for a restaurant.
But I do still like the restaurant idea.

Would you want it in Jasmine’s Palace or in Agrabah’s marketplace (like DLP)?

Palace for table service, marketplace for quick serve.

ETA: Better idea--Cave Of Wonders

Throw some characters into EPCOT and spruce that up a bit.

Any new thoughts about the restaurant idea?

 

[Buzz Rules]

Would you want the food to be the same as the restaurant in DLP or would you want some unique menu options that would be exclusive to WDW/DL?

I wouldn't be against it as long as it's cool. I am not really sure that it belongs in Adventureland, and Epcot might be better - but it Aladdin doesn't necessarily belong in Morocco either. It's not really where the story takes place, though I don't think an Iraq Pavillion is coming any time soon!

Disney set the cartoon/live action in Jordan (a US ally). Agrabah is supposed to be somewhere in that region. The restaurant could have food from Jordan, Israel, and Saudi Arabia that would give a positive attitude towards the Middle East. Food brings people together.

There used to be a restaurant like that at Disneyland.
