If India was in the World Showcase, what would you like to see built?

If India was in the World Showcase, what would you like to see built? A restaurant with Jungle Book characters? A ride similar to the Jungle Cruise? A movie based attraction? An Indian take out option? Other thoughts? Thanks.

Daily Bollywood dancing and lots of great tasting Indian food.

I would choose for the country to look like the Taj Mahal & have a really good Indian restaurant. I'm always in favor of a ride in every country, but I prefer them to represent the country rather than a Disney IP.

Curries from different regions & paneer, a henna booth, colourful scarves with hidden Mickey's in the print, dance shows, incense in Disney 'scents', spices for sale & a chai tea cart.

I think the Taj Mahal would be great. I would love to see India in the World Showcase.

 

[GreatLakes]

I would like a restaurant and a ride that shows us the country without any Disney IP but I don't think that will happen under the current regime.

A Jungle Book dark ride and the "Temple of Doom Buffet" - okay, I don't think anyone is going to go for that second one.

Good Indian food! That's been one of the very few downsides to moving to the Orlando area...no really good Indian food.

 

[Nanceliz319]

What a great idea! I would love to have shops with things unique to India. Also, a movie would be amazing!

 

[Hikergirl]

I don't need an attraction but a restaurant would be wonderful!

India is such a history rich country that is very diverse in its regions. I would love to see an attraction like the one that was in the Millennium Pavilion for Jerusalem. We can be taken on a virtual tour of the cities and countryside throughout the regions. Commentary can be about the Hindu Temples, Muslim and Christian influences on the country and the foods of various regions.

My favorite Hindu holiday is Diwali. I celebrate that each year with my next door neighbors who are from Delhi. Plenty of candles and fireworks for that holiday... The movie can show Holi... It's the holiday where everyone sets aside their differences with one another and they smear each other with colors. My neighbors are typically in India for that festival, but it looks like so much fun. The next day, you can go back to not liking one another. lol

The country has a very long history and many famous figures. Ghandi, Mother Theresa, British Rule... From the caste system to modern times and the becoming a technology powerhouse.

Different restaurants can be in the pavilion, that are regional. The cuisine is similar and yet so different.

I find India fascinating. I can't wait to really visit there.

I would like to see a restaurant that showcases cruise from all parts of India.

I would hope that they try to be "authentic" but chances are they'd go generic and give us naan, channa masala, butter chicken and biryani.

Speaking of Orlando, I found out my preferred Vietnamese restaurant (Lac Viet) is closed. Pity!

And the spice levels will be super low.

And the spice levels will be super low.

I've had good luck requesting elevated spice levels and given Disney's history we'll probably get the better part of a year with an interesting menu before they cut it back to accommodate the less adventurous palettes .

I second the Bollywood dancers.
I wouldn't do the Taj Mahal, it's a mausoleum after all. But India has enough architecture that would be good for inspiration.

 

[JoanneAZ]

I would like the Bollywood dancing shows and I agree with a museum or film showcasing the different areas of India and the language(s), cuisine, culture, holidays, wildlife, agriculture, and industry of those areas. I would also like to see a sit down restaurant and a quick service place with options for different spice levels and vegetarian/vegan options. India has so much to offer that it would be hard to choose what to include.

 

[Buzz Rules]

Thanks for the responses so far. I pray India will be able to control the pandemic in their country soon.

I'd want a Taj Mahal but it would need to be bent like it is in Soarin' Also I'd want a Ganges Gulp drink.

 

[TwoMisfits]

For attractions, I'd want a Soarin' type ride in the pavilion with smells and 3d effects - there's so much in India to see, smell, feel, so bring it all.
I'd want live Bollywood dance shows 4x/day.
Heck, I could even enjoy a Bollywood movie clips "dine in" theater as a restaurant concept with Indian street foods and movie treats for the food (on top of the regular Indian restaurants).
