Europe



The northern most area, Europe, would serve as the park’s Main Street.  Guests would enter a street of a medieval village of northern Europe (resembling the Norway and German pavilions of Epcot), which could spotlight films like Frozen, Prince and the Pauper, Mickey and the Beanstalk, and The Black Cauldron.  They would then enter a square, themed to Renaissance France and featuring attractions, shops, and restaurants based on Tangled, Beauty and the Beast and Hunchback of Notre Dame.  


Three paths could lead out of the square.  To the right (west), the path would become a Victorian London/Paris village which could feature films like Winnie the Pooh, Mary Poppins, 101 Dalmatians, Wind in the Willows, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, The Great Mouse Detective, and The Aristocats, and lead to the entrance to the North America area.  Straight-ahead (south), the path would be feature Spanish & Italian architecture.  To the left (east) the path would lead to the entrance to Asia, and two courtyards could open off of it.  To the south, a Hercules attraction could be located in an ancient Greece/Roman courtyard, next to a lake (the Black Sea).  To the north, a Russian pavilion could feature something like Peter and the Wolf. 

"Impressions de France" from the World Showcase's France pavilion would be an easy attraction to add to this continent.  When I was first thinking of this area, a Beauty and the Beast restaurant seemed like a natural, but since one has now been built at the Magic Kingdom, and other Disney movies have introduced additional princesses, I think the signature restaurant of Europe should be a princess hall, with various rooms themed to different movies, and various characters from those movies would visit while the guests dined.  

Europe would be the most built out land upon opening, but a few areas, such as an attraction set in England and the Hercules or Russian areas mentioned above, could be left out and added later.
