If Disney put you in charge of planning the 40th Anniversary Celebration for WDW, what all would you do?
If I was in charge of the 40th Anniversary, this is what I would do:
Marketing Campaign
I would launch a campaign called "40 Years of Pixie Dust" that would include another Free Day on Your Birthday, bigger discounts on tickets for FL residents, and more. I'll go into more specifics later.
Ticket Pricing
For the 40th, I would want to get more people in the park by lowering the ticket prices to at least $45.00. Floridians would receive a 50% discount, only paying $22.50.
New/Refurbished Attractions
For the Magic Kingdom, here is a list of what I would do by land.
Tomorrowland
Move Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor to DHS and bring back Timekeeper. This time, with seats.
CLOSE Stitch's Great Escape and replace it with a revamped Mission to Mars.
Give the Carousel of Progress its long overdue refurbishment, completely changing the scenes up and fixing audio, lighting, etc.
Space Mountain would receive yet another refurbishment, this time to add more effects than what may be added during the refurb this year.
Mickey's Toontown Fair
Bring back Mickey's Starland with a completely different show.
Fantasyland
Give the land it's needed refurbishment, painting the facades again and what not.
Demolishing Pooh's Playful Spot and building a new Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
I would find more room to put in an attraction based on Pinocchio somewhere.
Build the Little Mermaid ride.
Give Peter Pan a much deserved refurbishment, fixing the scenes up for enhancements.
Liberty Square
Have a separate event for the Haunted Mansion's anniversary.
Frontierland
Enhance Tom Sawyer's Island, including possibly adding lights on the ground and in the trees to allow nighttime excursions to the island.
Adding an on-ride photo to Big Thunder Mountain.
Bring back the Summer and Christmas shows for the Country Bear Jamboree.
Adventureland
Bring back the original Tropical Serenade and remove Iago and Zazu.
Enhance Pirates of the Caribbean with some new technological effects.
At the Jungle Cruise, add those barracudas that are seen on Disneyland's attraction.
Parades/Fireworks
Keep Wishes the same as is.
Replace SpectroMagic with Main Street Electrical Parade once again for a limited time. Or have both run at different times.
