It would be nice to have a romantic Italian dinner. The castle parks don’t have many of those that actually serve good food. Tony’s at Magic is gross, it taste like they just dumped a tomato can onto a plate and put in the microwave. They don’t even make a good spaghetti and meatballs, which is supposed to be their trademark.

Looks like a back alley eh, that actually sounds pretty nifty. This park’s ambiance is off the chart young fella. Good Job!
I hope you've enjoyed the first park of Disney's Lonestar Resort, Enchanted Kingdom. Later today I'll be starting the next chapter. It is perhaps my favorite of the three different parks.

The second park will be akin to Hollywood Studios, but instead of decades and backlots it will be themed to the different genres of movies. It will be more of a celebration of movies than a working studio like it’s sister park. It opened it’s gates in 1996 to park and movie lovers everywhere with a whole host of celebrities of the time period on hand for the premiere like Tim Allen, Celine Dion and Steve Urkel himself Jaleel White.
At the end of the main street area is the hub and a familiar, iconic structure. Oz’s castle seen in the classic 1939 film and childrens’ book series “Wizard of Oz”. Emerald City will shine like a beacon off in the distance. At the end of this parks main street area. The hub area is where the yellow brick road begins and takes you on your way through the castle and into a world of wonderment. The hub is patterned after the green fields in front of Emerald City. Where the Wicked Witch tried to stop Dorothy and her friends from making it to the Great and Powerful OZ, by putting them to sleep.
It is a stark contrast to the street that leads to it, which I’ll talk about later on in the future. The castle is alive with vibrant colors of Emerald and Gold. Oz’s inclusion into the park is made possible by Disney’s ownership of 11 out of 14 L. Frank Baum books. So it will take a lot of it’s inspiration throughout the park from Baum’s literary version as well.

Sounds like an amazing idea for a park. I’ve always been obsessed with the early days of Hollywood. So it will be interesting to see what you do when it comes to that aspect.

Sorry to interrupt, but, the authors name is actually L. Frank Baum.
Thanks for writing, complete brain fart by me. Sometimes I forget to proof read my own stuff.

Wizard of OZ is so iconic, it surprises me they’ve never done anything major with it. I remember when I was a kid it was an event watching it on TV the 1 night of the year it was on.

They were supposed to put a dark ride for Oz in Disneyland, but plans fell through. So they just added Oz to the Storybook Canal Boats.

I don’t know, I think it would have been strange to see Wizard of Oz in Fantasyland. I do think it could work in some other land possibly, but Fantasyland would have been an odd placement. Just my 2 cents.

Wizard of Oz is such a feast for the eyes.
I think they pulled off the transition in the movie from Kansas to Oz so fricking well. It says online they used a style called Sepia Tone for the beginning. That’s why it looks very copper-like like an old penny during those scenes. I don’t know how it’s done, but it definitely works. That’s my 1 cent, since I’m poor. hahaha

I used to have nightmares about the WoZ. Because of the Wicked Witch. I found her more terrifying than Darth Vader. She reminded me of my next door neighbor when I was a kid, Miss Conway. She used to take our ball whenever it went in her yard. One time I went in her house and it smelled like old, dead bodies… hold on a minute.
Just kidding, but it did smell pretty bad. … I think it was just Miss Conway herself.

Setting: Hollywood Adventures main street will be patterned after the early days of moviemaking, before even sound was introduced. Showcasing the big screen stars of the time like Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy, who helped pave the way for many of today’s blockbusters. The buildings that make up Silent Street will look straight out of a black and white movie.

I'll definitely have Roger Rabbit, but he's going to be a part of a different section.

Is Roger Rabbit attraction will be a simulator ride which Roger takes the guests a wild ride tour in Toontown in his Toontown Jolly Trolley train or Gus the Bus?
You'll have to wait until May 1 to see buddy. I don't want to let the cat out of the bag just yet.

Nice, I’d love to see Charlie Chaplin walking around. He’s hilarious. I heard he got the Hershey squirts while filming Gold Rush because he ate so much black licorice. That must have been a fun shoot.
