Fantasyland's Ocean Section

Fantasyland will be divided into many themed areas like the Alice in Wonderland section. Each of these realms will have a central theme which connects all attractions, restaurants and shops with each other.
Today I've designed a new section based upon the ocean. It'll be located between Discovery Bay at Fantasyland's left boarder and the Storybook Land Canal Boats. The Ocean Section will feature two great main attractions, one restaurants and many fanciful details.

The Little Mermaid

This ride will be not the ride that was originally planned for the Disneyland Resort Paris nor a replica of the California Adventure attraction. The Little Mermaid will take guests on an undersea musical voyage that will feature many delightful scenes and songs from the three Ariel movies and the television series. All songs and dialogues will be performed by the original voice cast. The exterior of the attraction will be very similar to the Tokyo DisneySEA castle of Mermaid Lagoon. You have to cross one of the bridges to enter King Triton's kingdom.

Inside the show building you'll travel through many musical segments like Kiss the Girl, Under the Sea or In Harmony.

Crush's Coaster

This coaster will be an extended and enhanced version of the Paris attraction. Guests will visit all the characters and places from Finding Nemo before entering the churning waters of the East Australian Current.The queue will feature Nemo and all of his friends including Crush and his son Squirt.
The attraction exterior will be decorated with artificial rocks, corals and seaweed to create the illusion of entering a real cliff.

Ariel's Grotto

I'll recreate Ariel's grotto from The Little Mermaid movie. Surrounded by her collection of human stuff guests will have the opportunity to meet and greet their favorite mermaid.Beautiful Briny Ballroom

Inspired by the animated sequence from the Disney movie Bedknobs and Broomsticks I'll build a shipwreck that will host a seafood restaurant: the Beautiful Briny Ballroom.Inside the restaurant everything will be decorated with fishes, seaweed and sea shells. The interior will be in some way similar to the Sebastian's Calypso Kitchen at Tokyo DisneySEA.Audio-Animatronic fishs and other marine creatures like the Briny Boys will perform and entertain the guests.

Plussing

Everything in the ocean section will try to recreate to beauty of the underwater world. Sculptures, Audio-Animatronics, fences, bridges, flowers - just everything.Everywhere you can find Disney characters from the seven seas like Ariel or King Triton.I really hope that someday the banks of the Lake Discovery will look pretty much like the picture above. I'll do my level best.
