I want to say HOA is $45k per month... perks are daily landscaping, getting picked up and taken to the theme parks, VIP tours, exclusive pool and golf(?) access given to guests while visiting your residence. I want to say Premiere Passes are included or World's new Club33 spaces (if not that...

I'm not going to lie and say I'm not itching to go and enjoy a week away from all of this stuff (and I realize it may be a new normal for masks in public for a couple years), but I'm also ready to experience new attractions. I think we may skip 2021 and wait an see how this plays out. Plan a few...

Moved our May discount rate 4-night stay to November. If baseball returns around 4th of July weekend, then I'm sure theme parks will, too. If we see a spike in cases again, they might shut down again.

I think we're gonna see projects cut because of the shutdowns. EPCOT will suffer. Cuts: SSE enhancement Play pavilion Moana-inspired water feature Two-story fireworks viewing area Additions: Rat, Guardians, and Space 220 will be it for at least a decade (I hope I'm wrong).

Rat building is on the new park map for F&G. SSE is closing May 26. I'm hoping for soft opening days the week before...

Horizons Exit Music

Star Tours is close enough to the entrance of SW:GE that it seems fine to me. I feel like all the park needs now is CarsLand in that big area of land behind The Showcase building where Lightning McQueen Racing Academy is now (corner of World Dr and E Buena Vista Dr).

No luck. We're checking back every day. We have 1 for Na'vi River Journey, but we'll swap for FoP if we get a chance.

Aberdeen is 2 hours away from Seattle. That's where Nirvana came from.

..."any unauthorized field trips" -DINOSAUR

I'd say my biggest complaint with Hollywood Studios is people leaving Fantasmic! clogging up Sunset Blvd on their way out of the park. Utilize a park exit bypass (like MK), using a small portion of Perimeter Road and just south of the boat launch build a bridge to the parking lot/buses. Wait a...

I think that the blue light saber effect during the nighttime show could have some influence on the design. The only thing left of Hollywood Studios is Sunset Blvd., really. I just see a less sophisticated version of the park in the years to come. They'll rename the park along with its...

HORIZONS had, by far, the best musical score created for an attraction at a Disney park. Even the demos that they never used were well-suited for this attraction. Of course, David Arkenstone was a part of the project. He's the guy that wrote "Papillion" for everyone's beloved Innoventions' Loop...

Magic Kingdom Dock the Liberty Belle and use it at night as a Wishes viewing area, create a people-eating river ride attraction themed to tie into Frontierland (Oregon-trail-eque scenario for fording the river, possibly keep the Tom Sawyer connection), use most of the space at Ft. Langhorn like...

The best/shortest way to do this (a form of new construction and transportation) from EPCOT to Animal Kingdom would be starting it by the buses and ending at a new, second location at the rear of Rafiki's Planet Watch.
