Ultimate Epcot: If money was no object --What would you add to Epcot: Part 4 Morocco

What would I change at Epcot if money was no object?

I thought this would be a fun little interactive new weekly blog where I will post my thoughts and then ask what you would like to see" If money was no object" Think big....Like Carsland or Harry Potter big. Some of my ideas you may love --others you may absolutely hate. Feel free to chime in with ideas of your own.

In part 3 we explore what could be added to Morocco. My thoughts are obvious for Morocco. Aladdin and Jasmine are already visiting from Agrabah --why not bring the rest of Agrabah to Morocco. You could enter this make believe city via a magic portal courtesy of the Genie. Think something like the entrance to Diagon Alley at Universal.

Once you enter Agrabah the palace would be looming in the background past the streets of the town.

Inside that palace could be the hit Aladdin Stage Show that is currently at DCA. The show is great and features all the music from the classic film. The main reason this show stays so popular is the Genie. He is top notch and constantly comes up with fresh and new jokes which makes this attraction worth repeating again and again.

Another attraction would be a Peter Pan style dark ride featuring the magic carpet. Which would take you through scenes from the movie on a magic carpet ride with the song playing along your ride.

And there could be a Caves of Wonder play area that would be like the caverns on Tom Sawyer's Island with Treasure room and interactive things for the kids to do and a Genie Meet and Greet.

Top 5 Animated Movie List

I hadn't updated my top Animated movie list since about 2006 so I thought it was a good time to take a look back and rank my top Animated Movies off the 100 plus animated features that I've seen.
All 5 of these films are 10 out of 10 for me.

Here is the countdown.

Number 5 Finding Nemo

Finding Nemo was a venture into a whole new world for Pixar. They created an amazing visual treat underwater. With Albert Brooks and Ellen Degeneres as the main voice talents this movie was a smash hit at the box office and in my heart as well. It was a funny, action packed movie with a lot of heart.

Number 4 The Little Mermaid

Staying around water.....The Little Mermaid was the start of a new era of classic Disney animated films. A nearly perfect story and hit music that grabbed your attention at a time that Animated movies appeared to be dying. The Little Mermaid hit all the right notes and Sebastian the Crab is one of my favorite Disney characters.

Number 3 Aladdin

When Aladdin came out it immediately became my favorite Disney animated movie of all time. It was like an animated Raiders of the Lost Ark with its action and like The Little Mermaid had amazing music and a great story. And then there is the Genie (Robin Williams) absolutely knocked it out of the park with his vocal performance as the Genie.

Number 2 Toy Story 2

Toy Story 2 took the original Toy Story and upped the ante. The opening scene is action packed. I could have watched an entire movie with the adventures of Buzz. Visually stunning and full of fun, laughs and that special ingredient that most Pixar movies have that most none Pixar movies don't.

Number 1 Toy Story 3

I don't know how they did it? The Toy Story movies somehow got better and better with each film. This is basically The Great Escape with your favorite Toys. Once again a visual treat --but also a great exciting and funny story. Absolutely loved it.

All 5 of these films are 10 out of 10's for me --so technically the order could be switched around. All 5 are absolute treasures.. What are your Top 5 Animated movies?
