Without a doubt. I enjoyed that the two of you noted it, and talked about it.
It's always fun to hear others thoughts (I love feedback and constructive critique).
I just wanted to clarify that, at least in my case (and IDI, it seems) restaurants weren't just added for the sake of adding something.
With the limits of the challenge, none of us had very much room to explain the purpose a bit more, and had that been in the actual presentation, I could see that changing your initial reaction to the concept.
As it stands, I totally get why you guys reacted the way you did the the idea!

It's dangerous. With a few exceptions (we still have the better castle, for example), DLR blows WDW out of the water!I'll see you guys in a few hours, right now I have to take an educational trip!
Ha, I spell out D-C-A but not W-D-W. It seems like I'm just going for the least number of syllablesAs for the WDW thing, it's honestly kind of a wierd dislexia thing on my end. I ALWAYS pronounce Disney parks like that. Whenever I'm at DLR I'll literally call DCA "dee see aye". Just my brain reciting the letters I see over and over I guess, haha. I'll keep it in mind moving forward, but can't make any promises that it will stop
In any case, I only suggested that to try to make it easier for you. By no means should you change if you don't want to.
I like Sleeping Beauty Castle better... but with some trees planted in the hub of MK I would probably change my opinion. Landscaping goes a long way toward complementing architecture.

Trees? You mean like the ones that used to be there? (Grin)
The hub looked so much better with those tall trees. They were like a curtain framing the two sides of the castle. So much more beautiful than what's there now... looks so plasticky without landscaping.

Although, on the other hand an argument could be made for there being better views of the castle now.
But the trees give it a special kind of beauty

It was also a function of the reveal and transition.Yeah, I completely agree.

With the trees and the hub plaza / park, it was a smoother themed transition from Main Street to the other lands, with the "weenie" tease of the tip of the castle spires to drive you forward.
As you moved through the trees, the castle would grow and "reveal" itself. It was an amazing effect.
While still impressive, the stark image of the Castle is at odds with Main Streets theming, and while it still works, isn't nearly as subtle a transition as it used to be.
That being said, the decision was largely about fireworks viewing, I suspect. And in that respect (fireworks and frankly parade views) the lack of trees is a significant improvement.
I still miss them though.

Again, great video! You guys really went in-depth and made it entertaining. I look forward to more videos! It's nice to put a face and voice to the people here...hopefully you guys will meet my face and voice soon
As for the TTC, I think it all depends on how you design it. If you make it more dense and build it up (height wise) you have more room for different things. If you build a more sprawled out method space can be limited. Personally I liked England's method of making a terminal/airport/transit hub. That's what it should be and his concept not only made that happen, but pulled it off extremely well.

I kinda disagree with the trees, yes less means more space, but more with additional landscaping can help in the transition.
It would be cool if Disney put Fantasylamd in the front and made Main Street a mini-land
