I've played recreations of Disney attractions in games like Minecraft and Dreams, and part of me wishes there was a whole game where you could just explore Disney parks like a regular park-goer.

• It could feature older versions of certain parks like Disneyland or EPCOT.
• It could feature unrealized parks like Beastly Kingdom or Port Disney.
• It could feature completely new and original parks as well.
• It could also feature Walt Disney's original version of EPCOT. I know it's not a theme park, but still I think it'd be cool to see.
• You could explore the hotels and resorts as well.
• It could feature defunct rides like The Great Movie Ride or Horizons, etc.
• You could do meet & greets with various characters.
• You could design your own custom avatar and take photos/selfies.
• You could adjust things like the weather, time of day, or crowd level. You could have the whole park to yourself if you wanted.
• You could watch parades and fireworks shows.

I think that'd be a cool idea for a video game in general, but with Disney you have so much more potential. The closest we have to something like this is probably the Planet Coaster games, but you wouldn't build your own park in this one. You'd just be a park-goer.

EDIT: It could also feature VR support and an online mode where you could interact with other park goers. Also, you could toggle between first-person and third-person.

What do you think? If Disney made a game like this, would you play it?

As much as I support physical media, when it comes to modern video games it feels almost pointless. Usually the physical disc of the game is the launch version, not the final version with all the updates and patches, etc. So if you don't have an internet connection, the launch version is the only one you're able to play, and if the game was a buggy mess at launch (Mindseye, WWE 2K20, etc.), you're SOL. Plus, you won't have access to any DLC.

Granted, some games get "Definitive Editions" like Sleeping Dogs or Dishonored with all DLC included. I'm all for that, but I'd wager most games won't get that kind of release. The whole appeal of physical media to me is being able to use it without an internet connection if I so choose. Therefore, if most modern games rely so heavily on the internet, why even bother?
