Designing A Disney-Style Park On The Mediterranean Coast with a Limoncello Mule

What if a theme park felt like one sweeping coastline, where every turn on the path opened to another country across the water? We set our sights on the Mediterranean and build a Disney-style destination that blends living folklore, IP favorites, and seaside hospitality—sparked by the bright kick of a limoncello mule.

We start with two complementary master plans. One, Solaria Kingdom, assembles five distinct lands—Italy, Greece, Iberia, Arabia and Persia, plus a Star Wars nod to Tunisia—around lagoons and layered sightlines. The other shapes a horseshoe park on Valencia’s coast with a rotating marble-and-gold wishing star as the icon, visible from every land and designed to harmonize with Greek temples and Spanish bell towers. Both approaches favor connected views: castles and stars that “translate” architecturally from different vantage points, giving each land its own face while preserving a unified world.

IP comes to life through culture-forward design. Star Wars: Villains of Mos Eisley embraces Tatooine’s cinematic roots with a sandcrawler shop, a build-your-own remote pod racer, and a Boonta Eve race that pits four vehicles side by side on a desert track. Italy’s Porto Fantasia pairs Pinocchio with Luca in a Vespa ride through a bustling port town, all horns, laundry lines, and festival banners. Greece rises to a peak with a Mount Olympus coaster diving in and out over the sea and a waterfront of tavernas serving fish, gyros, pastries, and strong coffee. Wish anchors the emotional center: a Rosas castle with live Storytellers Hall productions and an interactive Wish Station where guests send their wishes skyward and return later for a keepsake moment.

We round out the shoreline with an Iberian fishing village animated by marionettes and street performers, a respectful split of Persian and Arabian spaces—including jewel gardens and shaded water features—and the Valencia Grand Prix, a Cars 2 racing district with family-speed thrills and pit-lane eats. A low-rise Stella Marina hotel sits right on the edge with a private gate and boat access, making arrival feel like part of the story.

Limoncello Mule Taste Test

SPEAKER_02 0:00

Welcome to Cheers to Ears, where today we're creating a Disney park in Eastern Europe while trying a lemon cello mule from Via Napole, Restaurante e Pizzeria from Epcot. Welcome to Cheers to Ears.

SPEAKER_00 0:14

We're gonna click our drinks. We're gonna toast. We're gonna talk Disney and get our cheers to it. Cheers to it.

SPEAKER_01 0:33

Okay, we're back. Tell us how what they how they make this. Tell us some info about this drink.

SPEAKER_02 0:38

The lemon cello mule? Yes. You're talking about?

SPEAKER_01 0:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 0:41

An Epcot? That particular drink. All right. Let's made with Gray Goose La Orange vodka. Lemon Cello, Peach Pray, orange juice, pineapple juice, lime juice, and ginger beer. And it's sold for only$19 at Restaurante e Pizzeria.

Recipe, Tweaks, And First Impressions

SPEAKER_01 0:57

Very nice. So we did, to make this, we did one shot, one and a half ounces of Tito's vodka. We didn't do the orange, larange vodka, two ounces of lemoncello, half ounce of peach puree, one ounce of orange juice, one ounce of pineapple juice, half ounce of lime juice, and then we topped it with probably about three ounces, I'd say, of ginger beer.

SPEAKER_03 1:22

Right.

SPEAKER_01 1:23

And again, we've had ginger drinks. A couple of them have been horrible. This is not one of them. This is top-notch. This is this is like a lemon drop mule.

SPEAKER_02 1:35

And this is good. We needed this. Yes. Because we record two episodes at a time sometimes, which we did today. As you can tell by my shirt. As you can tell by my shirt, because I'm didn't change this time. You do change shirts between episodes at least, so it looks a little different. But I'm still sporting my Naval Academy dad.

SPEAKER_01 1:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:54

So we had the caramelized leak, which you would have heard last week, and it wasn't the greatest thing. But this is one of the greatest things. Yeah. This might be the best meal I've ever had.

SPEAKER_01 2:05

I'd say it is. I know we had another one that was good, but this is a good drink. I would actually go and order this in a heartbeat. Right. So hooray for and it's funny because both this and the caramelized leak were both drinks ordered by Quincy from All Ears. Steered us wrong on the other one. This one completely redeemed herself. Not that she gives a crap, but anyway, yeah, it works really well. The lemon comes forward. There, you do get a hint of ginger, which I'm not a big fan of ginger, but this you're not, it blends so well with the ginger with all the other flavors and the juices. Not a lot of juice at two and a half ounces and the peach puree and stuff, but yeah, it's a good one. It's a good one.

From Drinks To Park Concept

SPEAKER_02 2:58

Very good drink. Very good drink. Yes. So uh we're talking we're talking about what today? I've I just totally blanked because I had a little mic issue a second ago, so I just totally think about that. So are we done with that? We're back. We'll come back to Cheers Deers. So you said Eastern Europe.

SPEAKER_01 3:14

This is actually a park, a Mediterranean park.

SPEAKER_02 3:17

So yeah, we said Southern Europe is what we said at first.

SPEAKER_01 3:21

Mediterranean, I would say southern Europe, but Mediterranean, okay, which makes a lot of sense because Disneyland, LA has a Mediterranean climate. Okay, so not it's pretty dry, not a lot, not a lot of rain. Occasionally you'll get it, but for the most part, warm, sunny, dry. And so that's what we did with our parks there. Although we did the ChatGPT episode. We had Chat GPT come up with a fifth gate. I think mine's a hundred times better than what Chat GPT could come up with.

SPEAKER_02 3:57

Mine's pretty good too. And mine isn't even, I didn't even deep dive. Notice, but the hours to deep dive. Well, one it would have been like a two-hour episode.

SPEAKER_01 4:05

Yeah. So I have a picture. Oh this is the interesting.

SPEAKER_02 4:09

I I do I like the little spires, the spires.

SPEAKER_01 4:12

Yeah. So sometimes for inspiration, I asked Chat GPT to come up with a castle. That's all I wanted, just to see a castle. And unfortunately, I'll print it black and white. I'll hold it up for the camera if you're watching on YouTube. But that inspired me so much of the direction I wanted to go with all of this. So let's get into it. Yeah, let's get into it. I say before we each came up with five lands. I say we introduce our parks, we'll take turns, and then we'll go in and we'll talk about take turns talking about the lands.

SPEAKER_02 4:46

Okay, so just the overview of the park, overview of the land. Where it's at, name.

SPEAKER_01 4:50

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 4:50

And that's it?

Solaria Kingdom: Five-Land Vision

SPEAKER_01 4:51

Yeah. Where's that name? Okay, go ahead. And yeah, what it's based off of, the theme, I would say, okay, of the park. So mine is Disney Solaria Kingdom. So Solaria being land of the sun.

SPEAKER_03 5:04

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 5:04

Is what it means. Five distinct lands, and it's the theme of it. There's Italian folklore, Greek mythology, Arab and Persian folklore, Iberian Peninsula folklore, and I did Star Wars. Oh. That was a good idea. Because of the Morocco Well, Morocco, but so the original Star Wars, The New Hope, was filmed in Tunisia. Right. Which is a Mediterranean country.

SPEAKER_02 5:33

Uh-huh.

Waterfront Layout And Iconic Castle

SPEAKER_01 5:34

How about your icon? Again, just it is that castle. Okay. Oh, okay. So first off, so let me just say Iberia, Greece, Italy, very water-themed lands, all based around lagoons with water features, or one big so I thought I was thinking either Barcelona or Naples, Italy, which are both right on the water. And I'm thinking Naples is like right in the middle of the Mediterranean. Okay. So that was my preferred spot. Now, if you built on the ocean and could somehow push out into the ocean, mine is almost like a palm tree layout, or maybe more of a like a Texas AM that T or Texas University. Okay. Where it it drops down on the sides. So you walk into Iberia, and that is the castle from Wish, from the movie Wish, which I rewatched. I like that so much better the second time. And the music the music grew on me. Now the duet between Magnifico and Osha was still meh, but all the other music, I was like, oh, these are actually really good songs. Okay. So you walk in there, and there's trails that go off to the side, but on the water would be Italy, Greece, and Iberia. So Spain, Portugal, that area. So those are on a, I would say a bay. And when you walk out to those, while the paths are inland a little bit and blocked from seeing the water, you can come out to a point from all three of those and look across the sea to a different land, to a different country, far off land. So that's the whole idea. And you can do some forced perspective. But I thought the icon with the castle, when it faces forward, it's completely looking like the castle from Wish. But when you look at it from Italy or from Greece, it would have some Greek architecture, some Greek theming, some Italian theming. So it blends in. It doesn't feel like you're looking into a different land. It still feels like it's part of it, what they did with Tower of Terror. So that when you look through Morocco, it looks like Tower of Terror, even though it's a different park, it still blends in. Right. So that's my idea. And then when you come back down away from the water, you get two desert lands. That would be the Star Wars. And then that would also be the what was the other one I mentioned? Oh, the Arab and Persian lands. Okay. So very dry, no water, but backed back away from those. So you can't see like the ocean from there. But from those, you can. So that's the overall idea of my park in the land.

SPEAKER_02 8:30

That's a good land.

unknown 8:32

Yeah.

Horseshoe Park With Rotating Star

SPEAKER_02 8:32

Thank you. Let me see if I can even come close here. So my park, it's called Disney Mediterranean. Mm-hmm. And so it's right on the coast of Valencia, Spain. Okay. Because we had a we had an exchange student Jorge to stay with us from Valencia. So he inspired this. Okay. Thought with me. So it's right on the coast and it goes in. It's a lot of water.

unknown 8:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 8:56

There's water throughout the whole entire park. It comes in through, in through the water comes out, and the lands are around the water. So it's like a oval shaped, like a horseshoe shape. Okay. Yeah. The park. So it starts with like right inside the waterway is the icon of the park. Okay. Sticking way up high. Yeah. Around. You can see it from everywhere because it goes with everything. Because it's not a castle. Okay. It's a wishing star. Oh, okay. So it has a kind of a feel of. So let me, it's a m- it's marble and gold. Okay. Uh-huh. And with a huge reflecting pool. Oh, very cool. Okay. It's inspired by Greek temples, Spanish bell towers, and the solar system. Okay. With a big huge star on top. And the star rotates at night. Okay. And the entire thing illuminates like the Epcot. Uh-huh. Because of course there's a ride inside. Yeah. We'll get to later. But it's fully illuminated at night with a slowly rotating wishing star.

SPEAKER_01 9:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:58

That goes around. You can see it from everywhere because it goes with every land. So all the lands are around like a horseshoe shaped around it. Okay. Starting with the hotel that's in like part of the park. Yeah. And then it goes all the way around with all the different lands.

SPEAKER_01 10:12

Yeah. I think mine could everything except for the Star Wars. And like Disneyland, where you can see the castle. Actually, you can't really see the castle from some of the different areas, but it's one of those, it could blend in. So Iberia with the Moors and Moore influence, that could be part of where you could see it from Persia, Arabia and all the other lands. But yeah, you can see that. It looks like Mount Olympus from Greece type of thing.

SPEAKER_02 10:40

And we'll get to that too. Yeah. So that's that's my idea is every land, when you look from land to land, you can actually see the other lands from each land, but they all blend in to one like country. Like you're looking off in the distance to a different place, but all goes together and fits in a puzzle of the entire park. Yeah. So it's more like its own little world that's all blended together. Instead of different worlds, like adventurelands different than Frontierland, you're in a whole different place. Yeah. When you walk in the galaxy's edge, you're in a whole different place at Disney, at Disneyland, right? Here they all blend in an oval shape.

unknown 11:18

Okay.

Star Wars: Villains Of Mos Eisley

SPEAKER_02 11:19

Or not an oval shape, a horseshoe shape. Around around it comes in from the inlet of the Mediterranean Sea. Yeah. Huh. That's my idea of the full park. Then I just have the lands. All I did was lands, and I'd have a quick overview of each land. So we'll go over each what each land is.

SPEAKER_01 11:39

Yeah. You want me to start? So go ahead. Okay. So first one, land the first land is Star Wars. Villains of Moss Isley. So that being Moss Isley Tatooine was what was filmed in Tunisia. And so the characters, but villains. Okay. And I've said this. I'm not big into villains, but I think the idea being that if you've been there before and you're going with new people, you're like Ben Kenobi taking Luke Skywalker into what's what how to behave. Or you're going in first time and you feel like Luke Skywalker and you're just you're in the big city. It's so cool. Yeah. But you don't understand like the hive of scum and villainy that awaits.

SPEAKER_02 12:31

I was gonna say it if you didn't.

SPEAKER_01 12:33

So characters, Jabba the Hutt, Darth Maul, Watto, Tuscan Raiders. So all of those is potentially walking around, not Java, but something where he might be overlooking something. But that's like characters that are in there. Shopping. So this is, I think, the only one I really did shopping. Okay. The Jawa trade and salvage. So you know the big sand crawler. Okay, that is the store. They build a giant sandcrawler and you walk into it and you buy stuff and it's multi-level. So you go upstairs, and there's three floors that you can shop at inside a great big sandcrawler. The other one, so in Phantom Menace, Fode and Bede are the is the two-headed announcers for the pod racing. Yes. So Fode and Bede, Pod Racer Depot. So how in Galaxy's Edge you can build a lightsaber or you can build a droid. This you can build, it's the same type of class where you go in, like Savi's workshop, but you're building your own remote control pod racer. And you can have different attachments, like a different car that they're riding in and different, like the boosters, the engines, and you can just mix and match everything. But it's got wheels underneath, and it's got a remote control, and you can drive it around. So say there's two or three kids, they could race each other. Yeah. And I was playing with whether or not to have a track there where kids could race each other and their pods. Decided against that because I thought it'd just be too chaotic, but that was the whole idea there. So the rides, the Bounta Eve classic pod race. So that's what it's called in the movie. The pod race that Anakin wins. Right. So this is like test track or radiator radiator springs racers. Same thing, only it's four wide. They're a little bit more narrow, but you go through this track and you're racing three other pods. So it's you and it's two, two, two, two. So eight total in the vehicles, but you're racing on this test track that looks like just the desert, but you're racing through there in a pod. So that was an idea for that one. And then I had some edutainment. So taking living with the land. Luke grows up on a water farm. You can't beat that. So it's a dark ride that goes through the water farm, and they try to teach you how they farm water.

unknown 15:10

Okay.

Shops, Builds, And Podracing

SPEAKER_01 15:11

Something like that. That's good. But it really gets immersive into the movie. So it's not just them making some stuff up, but it's just it's kind of a fun. You can see different characters and what they're doing, and the whole way the behind the scenes, the way that it works.

SPEAKER_02 15:24

You have a whole you can have a like a long lecture, like the history of blue milk. Yes. That'd be exciting as the Chinese thing at the China pavilion.

SPEAKER_01 15:34

That would be something to skip. Yeah. No, there will be no blue milk, orange milk. I think they just came out with some orange milk. I think they did too. Yeah. I like a blue milk. Nasty. So the last thing is for food, Chalman's Cantina. So the Moss Isley Cantina. So the original Cantina. So I didn't realize this. It's called Chalman's I didn't know that either. Cantina. Chalman is a Wookiee. Okay. It's owned by a Wookiee. Huh. Totally didn't realize that. But as I was I missed that book. It has to be one of the books somewhere. It must be. Yeah. That's when I was doing search. That's what kind of came up. Right. Because I was trying to find out what the exact name was, but the Moss Isley canteen.

SPEAKER_02 16:18

Well, you canteen, you deep dove more than me into your lands.

SPEAKER_01 16:22

So just this one. Okay, good. Just having fun. But it's an exact replica, the same music as the A New Hope. Yeah, that's the Cantina.

SPEAKER_02 16:31

That's what we all dreamed when Galaxy's Edge was built.

SPEAKER_01 16:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:34

I mean, the cantina's fine. It's fun, but it's not it's not Moss Isley.

SPEAKER_01 16:39

It's not Moss Isley. No. So that's my Star Wars, but because it was filmed on the Mediterranean a country bordering the Mediterranean, that's why I added it.

SPEAKER_02 16:48

Added Star Wars. Trying to beat my park with the largest IP available. I get it. Because my first land is based on Luca. So my lands are going to go like right to left around the park, around my horseshoe. Uh-huh. Right? So this is the first one you'd see, and it's low, it's lower. It's called Porteros. Okay. And it's a fishing village.

SPEAKER_01 17:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 17:11

So it's a fishing village that totally blends in with the landscape of Valencia itself. Okay. Yeah. So it like looks like part of the city, part of the town. Part of the town. Yeah. Right. That makes sense. Has a features a trackless ride. Okay. Okay. I just I don't have names of rides or how they work. I'm just like, this is like D23 introducing the park to you, is what I did. Yeah. So I have a large trackless ride and a paddle boat ride in the park. Around the park will be street performers all day long. Oh. Okay. Very cool. And there'll be small puppet shows. Mm-hmm. Around like the old school marionette puppet shows, like in the little box. Oh, very cool. You need to stop and watch. I like it. Yeah. With shops and restaurants. I did no shop. I skipped all the restaurants because we get to repeat ourselves a lot with restaurants. You can imagine the food they'd have in a fish and village. Use your imagination. We'll have some of that.

SPEAKER_01 18:10

The only restaurants I didn't do any food. I just did if a particular theme popped into my head with that.

Edutainment On Tatooine And Dining

SPEAKER_02 18:16

Yeah, and I couldn't think of a I wanted like an upscale like booking restaurant where it'd be popular. I couldn't think of one for anything. I was like trying to think of something that everyone wants to go to. Yeah. Like a Moss Iceland cantina.

SPEAKER_01 18:29

Yeah. I have one more that I think people will like.

SPEAKER_02 18:32

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 18:33

Yeah. Which is anyway. That's later.

SPEAKER_02 18:36

Yeah, that's my first land.

Luca’s Fishing Village Concept

SPEAKER_01 18:37

Okay. So my next one is The Realm of a Thousand Knights. Okay. So this is the Arab and Persia lands. And they would be two distinct kind of areas within there. Now, what I did, so there's no Disney IP that's Persian. Right. We talked about this before. And so what I did is I deep dived. I just wanted to see what hero princess stories are out there in Persian folklore. And I came up with one. And then, of course, ChatGPT said, Would you like me to write a story based off of this? A Disney version. So you're a Disney movie? You're adding a whole new movie? Yes, before it comes out, because they've got to anchor it in some IP. And that'll get people to want to go. But it came up, Bijan, and so those are the two. Manejay is the princess, and Bichon is the young hero. And there's also Rost is another is a mentor figure. Like when we talked about Danny DeVito and some of his roles, maybe Danny DeVito can play him. I don't know. It gave me like songs and a storyline and Disney themes. But anyway, it creates another princess and it it Creates Persian IP. So you added a Persian land. Because it's Persia and Arab. Okay. The Arabian Peninsula. But those are two distinct cultures. And so they would both be in that. Right. But they would be separated. Like you go, you walk in there, you go to the right, you go to Persia, you go to the left, you go to Arab, Arabian Peninsula. Okay. Type of thing.

SPEAKER_03 20:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:26

Because I don't want to treat them like they're the same, because they are different cultures. And but I needed to come up with something like that. The only thing other than there's a movie coming out. There's a movie coming out.

SPEAKER_02 20:38

Man, you got Star Wars and a brand new movie. I got all old movies. No, the rest of it'll be all old. We're offering discounts already on my park, folks.

SPEAKER_01 20:49

Princess Manichay Jewel Gardens. Okay. It's a walk through like ancient when you imagine gardens that the king or the the Sultan would have. So you're walking through like the Sultan's gardens. But it would be Princess Manichay's. So think Moana's that water combined with lots of water, lots of green plants, lots of shade, a place to cool off to walk through. Yeah. That would be the drawing attraction there.

SPEAKER_02 21:25

What I was just thinking of Moana combined with the little walkthrough thing at California Adventure where the kids play.

SPEAKER_01 21:32

The Redwood Forest. Yeah, the Redwood Forest. Yeah, something like that. Yeah. Okay. But that's the drawing, like that was the uniqueness of it. There could be little rides, whatever, or even but imagine the rides on all this stuff. Like you're gonna pull out the magic carpets of Aladdin out of Magic Kingdom and put it in there because it just fits. But it's yeah, you don't have to think about that one.

SPEAKER_02 22:00

Wow, you're just beating me big time with the Star Wars and new movie coming up. Okay, now it gets into just geez. The other stuff. So come to my park anyway, people. My next land is called Kingdom of Wish. Okay. And it's off of Wish. It's a Wish inspired land. And it includes a workshop like Animators Academy, Animation Academy.

SPEAKER_01 22:22

Okay. I almost put something like that in there because I love those.

Persia And Arabia: New IP Pitch

SPEAKER_02 22:25

Yeah, so this is, I know you do, that's why I added it because I thought I'd bet you liked some of this stuff. Where you create your own wish in this thing and it's put off into the universe. Okay. You draw out your own wish. I have almost the same thing. Yeah. So this comes up with my new movie, Wish Two, coming out soon. That I just came up with.

SPEAKER_01 22:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:48

Every yeah, I'm having lots of movies now. But yeah, that's the main part of this land. So it's sitting right next to Luca, the Luca land. Yeah. Puerto Rico. Right? Yeah. This is next, it goes up a little higher, so it's not like fishing village is down low. Uh-huh. And up is elevated a little bit. Yeah. Going up is the kingdom of wishes. So it sees the you can see the icon there. Yeah. It just gets a little bigger. And yeah, of course, restaurants, shopping, the norm, all the things. All the things. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 23:18

Right.

SPEAKER_02 23:19

So your next land.

SPEAKER_01 23:20

Porto Fantasia. Oh. So that's Italy. Because everything if it's on a so we're here in Washington, and if you go up to the Puget Sound, there are a dozen towns called Port Something. I grew up in one, Port Orchard. But there's like Port Townsend, Port Gamble, Port Hadlock, all these. There it's Porto whatever. So Porto Rosso, which you mentioned earlier, is the setting for Luca. I just did Porto Fantasia.

SPEAKER_02 23:49

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 23:50

And that's encompassing all of it because it's Pinocchio, it's Luca. I didn't include cars, even though Cars 2 was set in Italy, but that's American stuff. I did cars. Okay. So Luca and Pinocchio, though, are the anchoring IPs. And the only thing I came up with two rides. Pinocchio's Daring Journey, lifted straight from Disneyland and put in there. Okay. Just straight up. Straight up. Exact copy. A little newer looking, probably. Maybe a little newer looking, but fresh paint. Maybe more animatronics as opposed to the cardboard.

SPEAKER_02 24:24

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_01 24:26

The other one, Porto Rasso Vespa Journey Journey. Puerto Rasso Journey. So this is think slower Tron ride through an Italian port town on Vespas. So I thought Vespa. So one person could sit on a Vespa. Uh-huh. And then not that they do side, they might do sidecars with Vespas, but two people can sit in the sidecar. One or two, whichever. And but across between Tron and Mike and Sully's at California Adventure.

SPEAKER_02 25:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 25:03

So much slower. Yeah. Maybe it moves a little bit faster, but you're just going through on your Vespa through Puerto Rosso. And there's people yelling out from the restaurants and there's a festival going on, but you're riding through the whole thing on your Vespa. And I thought that that sounds fun. I think that would be a lot of fun. And then it's got the combination if you don't want to sit on a Vespa, you just sit in the sidecar, drop your lap bar. But that's like the unique ride in there. Right. And that's all I got. That's a good one. Everything else you gotta imagine.

SPEAKER_02 25:37

Yeah. A lot of minds, imagination too, because sitting up the highest in the so now we're at the highest point of the park. Yes. On my third land. This is where Mount Olympus is. Okay. Okay, so it's at Mount Olympus all the way. It looks like Mount Olympus. It acts like Mount Olympus. Uh-huh. But it rises above the entire park and it features the coolest ride of the whole park, which is a huge coaster that goes out over the Mediterranean, right?

SPEAKER_03 26:03

Okay.

Wish-Inspired Creative Spaces

SPEAKER_02 26:04

It goes out. It's an indoor and outdoor ride. So it starts indoor with some of the scenes. Nice. And that's the main feature of the land. But I think I was just thinking this is probably the best place for a like a fancy Greek restaurant.

SPEAKER_01 26:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:20

Sitting above everything, looking out over the park. Yeah. I think that's a great idea to have a Greek restaurant there that serves just amazing Greek food.

SPEAKER_01 26:29

I think so.

SPEAKER_02 26:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:31

Yeah, because you gotta have that one. I know. I need a restaurant.

SPEAKER_02 26:35

I couldn't think of one. I just popped in my head while you were talking.

SPEAKER_01 26:38

It's easy to think of like the food that would be in each of these lands. Right. But to think of that iconic restaurant.

SPEAKER_02 26:44

Yeah. Yeah. A little more. I think a Greek themed. They could even have a I think a breakfast there too would be good because the characters in Hercules are so amazing.

SPEAKER_01 26:55

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_02 26:56

To have a Hercules character breakfast with all the characters of Hercules.

SPEAKER_01 27:00

All the characters. You had Hades walking through there.

SPEAKER_02 27:02

Everybody.

SPEAKER_01 27:03

Pain and Panic. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:05

I like that. Meg.

SPEAKER_01 27:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:07

That's a good one. That would be a good one.

unknown 27:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:10

So Mount Olympus, that might be my best land. I think that's going to be a land people will come to my park for. Come into for the We don't need Star Wars. We got Hercules.

SPEAKER_01 27:19

Okay. So mine. This is supposed to be a competition. I'm turning into one. You know, I had this weird feeling like it would. So my next one. Are you all done? I should ask first. Kingdom of Rosas, which is Wish. That's this is your wish land. I just completely pulled. That's the name of it. Okay. That's the name of the where the land that's in front. I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_02 27:41

I just came with Kingdom of Wishes.

Porto Fantasia: Italy On Vespas

SPEAKER_01 27:43

So it contains the castle. And it's the central when you're walking in, and you're looking down the pathway when you're walking in. And while there's other trails that can go off to other lands, that's what you see when you after you walk through the gate. Is you see this castle. Now on the front side, and it's the same kind of castle that you see in Wish, which has like a Parthenon type of looking building off to the side of it. But on the back side is I was thinking Mount Olympus facing Greece area. And I was trying to think of what to do for the other side, whether it looks like the Colosseum from a distance, but or maybe it just has some Italian influence and some Greek influence on the back of the castle. But I wanted that idea where you were looking across the water to a far-off land, just like you would, not that you could see across the Mediterranean, but it's one of those like, I know that there's a far-off land across this water. And I want to give that effect, but from the back side, you can't from wherever you're looking at it, you can't see it. There's nothing that breaks that effect.

SPEAKER_03 28:57

Right.

Mount Olympus Coaster And Dining

SPEAKER_01 28:58

It looks like wish when you're walking in Iberia, all of that influence, but from the sides is Greece and Italy. I like that. So within the castle, and yeah, just stole this idea, large dining hall within the castle with character meals, but it's built up a little bit higher, so you're overlooking the land while you dine. And just like in Park Fair, 1900 Park Fair, there's the wish ceremony, and there's also a wish ceremony in the movie, but there's a wish ceremony where you write your wish and they I wish this, and it's a whole thing with night at 1900 Park Fair at Grand Floridian. So basically, just taking those ideas and reusing them there. Now, I did come up with two attractions. Okay. Storytellers, and this is because Wish has Easter eggs, and it was um an homage to all the Disney stories. There's like Peter Pan references, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, there's Bambi references, there's references to tons of Disney movies throughout this. So Storytellers Hall, if you think of and again, this is pulling kind of an idea from Disneyland, but this is a large theater with multiple semi-stage shows, all paying homage to past Disney fairy tales. So if you go to the Royal Theater at Disneyland, you can see a semi-stage production of Beauty and the Beast, or what was gosh, there was another one. It got me. Little Mermaid or Aladdin, something like that. Might have been Little Mermaid. But anyway, they do a couple. But this I haven't thought about that for a long time. This is like a 20-minute retelling of the story, 30-minute retelling of the story, but like non-stop throughout the day. So there's two of Little Mermaids, there's two of this story, and basically there's four different stories. So you could keep going back and see four different plays, and the crews just stay around and then they go back on after a couple hours and they redo theirs, something like that. But it plays for eight hours total. But each group does two shows. Oh, yeah. And you can share a cast with the little background characters, something like that. So Disney, it wouldn't be that expensive. I know how you hate spending money on enter live entertainment, but it matters. So the other idea, the other attraction I came up with was the wish station. All right. And this was the idea that you had. But with this, you write a wish, or if you're a young child, your parents write your wish down on a piece of paper and you slide it in to the slot. And then you see a wish form in front of you on this screen, and it floats up and it mixes with all the big screens up at the top. It mixes with all of the wishes up the top. But all it does is hold your wish through the day. It slides you out a little card, and there's backup for if you lose your card, because you know people are going to lose their card, but it gives you a little a claim ticket. So later in the day, at a different place, you go back in and you put your ticket in, and then it pops out like this your wish has been granted, da-da-da, something like that, or it returns your wish. And so basically, when you slide this little claim ticket in, you look up and you see a wish start moving around and it comes back down and it pops out in front of you. Something related to your wish, or not related to your wish. Because I mean, I want mommy and daddy to come get back together, you know. Granted. Granted. But it would be some sort of thing where it just holds your wish for the day. Right. But that would be that's how it would work is holding your wish for the day. But it would let people be able to make a wish and come back and the whole experience.

SPEAKER_02 33:04

I like that.

SPEAKER_01 33:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 33:05

Very good. Very good. My next land is Geppetto's Village. I couldn't come up with a better name for it. I tried. That's a good one. I tried a something. I Googled where was Pinocchio set, and it's not there was no name for it. It's just like a village. But Geppetto's Village is very Disney. Okay. That's a good one. I didn't know if it was good. I didn't love it when I wrote it down because it seemed it seemed easy. But it's a storybook village. Uh-huh. Kind of like Fantasyland.

unknown 33:31

Right.

SPEAKER_02 33:32

It has that idea. Yeah. Updated Fantasyland. But it's sitting in the next to Mount Olympus, but down. We're going back down. Okay. And so it's sitting down below Mount Olympus, is a storybook land. Okay. You can see from Mount Olympus. You can look down on it. And it's a European village with timbered homes and clock towers. Okay. Okay. And it has a carousel as their main feature, which you'll love. That's the second thing you'll love that I put on.

SPEAKER_01 33:57

I've got a carousel too.

SPEAKER_02 33:59

The carousels have all hand-carved figures. Oh, nice. That you ride. Like fully hand-carved and you sit on the hand-carved like different things. Like can't wait for Encanto. European village setting. And it's a cool thing because me, as I make it in this park, I'm going to have an apartment in Geppetto's village. I just thought of, I just thought of this. Okay. So in the future, you can stay in Aaron's apartment.

Kingdom Of Rosas: Castle And Shows

SPEAKER_01 34:22

Oh, there you go. Okay. Yeah. So there. That makes sense. Yeah. That'd be true stuff. I almost thought about doing in instead of the large dining hall, doing a hotel, a boutique hotel hotel in the castle.

SPEAKER_02 34:35

You can have so many different, you can have so many different foods in Geppetto's village. It could be from like German fair, Swiss food. You can do all sorts of different small Bavarian type foods. Yeah. Yeah. That's my I have one more park after this, but that's my Okay.

SPEAKER_01 34:52

My next one, Legends of Hellenia. So whoa. It's basically it's just based off of Greek mythology.

SPEAKER_03 35:00

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 35:01

So came up with a couple of rides. Zeus's carousel. And you get a ride all the mythical creatures of Greek mythology. Pegasus. Yeah. Just maybe there's a crack, a friendly looking kraken. I don't know. Aaron likes a carousel, everyone. So Zeus's carousel, Mount Olympus chariots. It's a large roller coaster pulled by there's two horses in the front, and then you're just it's yeah, just a couple of horses in the front, and they're pulling you up Mount Olympus, and you're racing around Mount Olympus being pulled on your chariot. Nice. I thought about some inversions too. Oh little in credit coaster action going on. So that's a possibility. The only other thing I came up with there is right on the waterfront, like a bunch of food places. There's a string of tavernas, I like that. Fish restaurants, Euro shops, pastry shops, Greek coffee shops, all along the waterfront. And so there's just little cafes, all kinds of different places to eat. Some different options.

SPEAKER_02 36:05

Right.

SPEAKER_01 36:06

So that's what I came up with. That was those are all my lands in Disney's Solaria Kingdom.

SPEAKER_02 36:12

So my last land. Okay. It doesn't have to go in too far into it because it explains itself. Okay. It's a Cars 2. Okay. It's Valencia Grand Prix.

SPEAKER_01 36:23

Oh, nice. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:24

And it's a total racing village. The vibe's racing. The rides are all about racing.

SPEAKER_01 36:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:31

Right? Slow racing rides, fast racing rides. The food's all about racing. Racing fair, like hot dogs, kind of stuff. Straight up racing. I like the whole thing. Yeah. With cars vibe, cars IP throughout the whole thing.

SPEAKER_01 36:47

Yeah. I think that'd be good. I mean, that's just as good as Star Wars, as far as like IP that people would love. Right.

SPEAKER_02 36:55

Was it Cars 2 that made her solve the crime? I think so. Yeah, maybe that could be involved too.

SPEAKER_01 37:00

It was honestly, it was my least favorite of the.

SPEAKER_02 37:02

Yeah, maybe that could be involved also. And I did have a hotel. I don't have much of a hotel. It's called Disney's Hotel Stella Marina. Oh. And it's right at the right hand side of the park when you walk in. And it also has its own gate that goes right into the park. Right into the park. Necessary, yeah. So it sits by the by the fishing village. Okay. The hotel's first on the right hand side. And it's a small, like three, four-story and goes around. Not a tower, but it goes around, it's large. Okay. Only it's small, like height-wise.

SPEAKER_01 37:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 37:41

To make it so it doesn't like overtake anything.

SPEAKER_01 37:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 37:45

But it looks like part of the land. It's a small like hacienda kind of idea.

SPEAKER_01 37:50

Yeah. You know what I'm talking about? Outside of which land?

SPEAKER_02 37:53

So it would be right next. It would be right to the. So if you're looking straight at it, to the left of it would be the the um what I call it? Porto Russo.

SPEAKER_01 38:03

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 38:04

So the fishing village.

SPEAKER_01 38:06

So like a lot of that like cobblestone and like colorful terracotta kind of stuff.

SPEAKER_02 38:11

Like the roofs are reddish.

SPEAKER_01 38:13

I was thinking if it was outside of Greece, you could do it like the Santorini, which is all that white, very white, but the blue roofs. That would look cool too.

Interactive Wishes And Return Tokens

SPEAKER_02 38:21

But I thought it'd be good to be on the Mediterranean too. Yeah. So the front side of the front side of it, or the left, the right side of it, if you're looking for it, would be on the Mediterranean Sea.

SPEAKER_01 38:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 38:32

Because the whole park goes in from the Mediterranean.

SPEAKER_01 38:35

Oh it's right there. That's to your back. Okay. See, mine, you would walk into the park and it's on the back side of the parks.

SPEAKER_02 38:43

Oh. Yeah, you enter. You could probably take a boat in the park. You could. Right. I could you could make a gate outside, like in downtown Valencia. From all the people coming over from Sicily. Or yeah, Sicilian gate. Yes. You actually scan your ticket in Sicily and then get on the boat, and you're actually in the park, and the boat takes you right in the park. Yeah, or from down from Rome.

SPEAKER_01 39:06

So Naples is down in between Sicily and Rome.

SPEAKER_02 39:09

Gates everywhere around the around the Mediterranean. Yeah. Yeah, you just have just a single gate sitting there inside the city, and you hop on like a boat when you get in.

SPEAKER_01 39:17

That would be interesting though to do I love this idea. The different a hotel, but that each of those cultures represented that, like the Greek one, this the iconic. So the that white with the blue or the colorful of fishing villages in Italy or something from Spain, different things like that. French Riviera. I didn't even include think of anything to do with French Riviera.

unknown 39:45

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 39:45

Because that was on there as well.

SPEAKER_02 39:46

SPEAKER_01 39:48
