New guy here, nice to meet you all.
I'm a Jersey guy raised on a fairly steady diet of Disney animated films and, more importantly, a childhood lucky enough to include many trips to WDW back in the mid 80s and into the 90s.
I'm an old school EPCOT Center guy to the bone, but love a nice day spent mainly on the west side of Magic Kingdom and am hopeful for a lot of the changes coming to DHS and AK, even if I dread the potential removal of Echo Lake.
I actually recently had a thesis published that focused on the original EPCOT city project and what it meant against the backdrop of 1960s attempts at urban revitalization, so I'm always on the lookout for good analysis on history, themed design, and other stuff that only us geeks can get so excited about.
Glad to be aboard.
