Whoa! There's a lot of reading in your future! Brace yourself!
First things First:
You may have seen ideas similar to a few of the following before, however, I am not stealing the ideas, I had been thinking `of these for a while now. That being said, if you've had a similar idea, all that means is I support it 100.
(Great minds think alike, afterall)
It is best if you read through the entire list of Ideas before commenting, as most of them build on previous ideas.
I'll be using the following words throughout this post, here's what they mean:
land: This is an entirely new area of VMK, such as "Fantasyland" or "Frontierland".
main room(s): A main room would be something like Main Street. It features smaller rooms that can be accessed from it.
side room(s): This would be something like the Penny Arcade, it's off of a main room.
public: Things that are public in VMK, such as the Main Street room.
guest: Things that are private in VMK, such as the Dark Ride rooms players customize.
Idea One:
Downtown Disney (Land)
So, I'm sure if you love Disney as much as I do, you've been to Downtown Disney. If not, it's basically an area in multiple Disney Parks/Resorts that is intended to be targeted at older crowds. So heres how it comes into play for MyVMK- The version of Downtown Disney would be based off of the Disneyland Resort Downtown Disney, as it's one of the best (in my opinion) versions there is, and it also fits with the fact that much of VMK itself is based off of the Disneyland Resort, since it was for it's 50th anniversary. The rooms, which would be public, could be entered off of the Esplanade, or as always, the map. There would be 4-8 main rooms and anywhere between 6-15 side rooms, featuring stores, restaurants, and more. The biggest of the stores, would be the "World of Disney" store that is at the actual DLR version of Downtown Disney. It would have exclusive items. The upside of the Downtown Disney idea is it adds new areas for players to meet and hangout in public rooms. It keeps things fresh. The restaurants would also be a lovely addition, as there aren't many [public] in the current VMK world. The DLR version of Downtown Disney also links to the monorail and has entrances to two hotels, but we'll revisit that later.
Idea Two:
California Adventure (Land)
Ahhh, the beautiful California Adventure! California adventure is a theme park exclusive to the DLR. It's recently gone through huge renovations, making it one of my personal favorite parks. It'd be wonderful to see this park in VMK, and here is how I imagine it- You could enter off of the Esplanade, across from the "Main Street Entrance", just like it is at the real DLR. There'd be anywhere between 6-15 main rooms, and around 8-15 side rooms, including stores, rides, minigames, and more. The key features of this park would be Carthay Circle, Carsland, and Paradise Pier. Carthay Circle could become a less exclusive version of Club 33, however, it would still be more exclusive than the Blue Bayou. Carsland would look amazing, with it's beautiful rockwork in the background, and it's awesome neon lighting up the sky. It could feature shops selling carsland exclusives, such as the Traffic Cone hats, Luigi's Flying Tires hats, Carsland shirts, pins, and furniture. It could also feature a Radiator Springs Racers ride, and a minigame based off Luigi's Flying Tires. Paradise Pier houses the Little Mermaid ride, many boardwalk games, and Toystory Mid-Way Mania at the real DLR. Pulling from that, there could be a minigame based off of the Toystory Mid-Way Mania ride, where you need to land rings on bottles, pop balloons, shoot plates, etc. The Little Mermaid ride could be a nice addition to the world of VMK, and it'd be a fun thing for this new land to have. Paradise Pier could also feature a "World of Color" minigame, or some kind of animation in the room to represent the show. Soarin' Over California is also a very popular ride that is in the real park, and could either be some kind of minigame or another ride. Many stores in the California Adventure park would see items exclusive to the park, such as Soarin',Carsland, MU, etc items. California Adventure has an exclusive exit to the Grand Californian Resort (Hotel), which leads me to my next idea.
Idea Three:
Hotels
There are two hotels at the DLR. The Grand Californian, and the Disneyland Hotel. With the addition of Downtown Disney and California Adventure, it'd allow easy access and placement of a few rooms representing these hotels. There would really only be two public rooms per hotel, each having one modeled after the lobby, and another modeled after it's pool area. From the lobby you'd be able to access a list of guest rooms themed after the hotel, much like you could do so in the Frontier Land main room. The guest rooms would be themed after the Hotel rooms at the real resorts, and they'd be cheaper than typical guest rooms, as they'd also be smaller. It'd be a nice way for players that aren't rolling in money to be able to buy a room and still have money left over to customize it. There could also be rooms themed after the hotels' suites, which would be around the price of normal room. You'd be able to access the Grand Californian through an entrance in both California Adventure, and Downtown Disney, where you'd only be able to get to the Disneyland Hotel through an entrance on Downtown Disney. As always, you'd also have access to each Hotel from the map.
Idea Four:
Update "Small World Imports" to include a Disney Cruise Ship (I saw someone with a similar idea to this on the forums, so Yayy there's some support for this one)
The current "Small World Imports" room has a cargo ship that is themed to look like a Disney Cruise ship. My proposal is to update the ship to look like a new Disney Cruise Ship, and have a gangway(Ship's term for entrance) onto the ship. The ship would feature the following public rooms- The Lobby, A Pool Deck Room, Possibly a few Restaurants(or maybe just the DCL's favorite, Animator's Pallet), and possibly a Teen Club. Off of the Lobby there'd be an entrance to the guest rooms themed after the ship, much like the Hotels mentioned above would have. Again, the rooms themed after the ship would be cheaper, as they'd be smaller. However, there would also be suites available, which like above, would be priced like a normal room. There would also be an "exit area" around the elevators, that would lead you up to the Pool Deck themed room. The Pool Deck themed room would have a pool (obviously :P), an animated jumbotron, and an animated "Aqua Duck" going past every once in a while. Animator's Pallet would be animated to act much like the real life restaurant, with the changing drawings and such.
Idea Five:
Random Items
So, we're all older now, let's be real. I think it'd be kind of fun to have some silly items in the game, for example, maybe a sloth rug, or a grumpy cat poster. The list can go on, and on, and on, so I won't waste time by listing them all. :P
Idea Six:
Water Parks
There could possibly be the addition of rooms themed after Disney Water Parks, such as "Typhoon Lagoon", but I haven't thought much on this idea, so it's not too developed yet.
Idea Seven:
Just Read It
Make Gregory MyVMK Staff. He's got amazing ideas and awesome people skills. :P (Sarcasm, I would obviously need to prove myself)
Conclusion:
But really, I've got many more ideas. I just thought I'd share a few with you all. I'd love to know what you think of them. I'll try to keep my eye on this post to respond as much as I can. Thanks!
