Wanted to keep everyone updated. I have the whole writeup done, but last minute I decided to do some concept art for what I'm writing up, so I'm working on that now. Probably will still have it up around 9:30 ish, but just so nobody's wondering where it is come 9, it's just because I wanted to expand it!

Joking aside, I was picturing a bluegrass/jazz fusion soundtrack. Bluegrass might not be as big as jazz, but is still huge in New Orleans. It matches the more bayou focus we kind of have. And it would blend more easily with frontierland's soundtrack. So, a bluegrass/jazz fusion seemed like a perfect fit in my mind.
BUT
I'm discovering that bluegrass/jazz fusion is a genre that basically only existed in the minds of these three guys I knew with a band in high school and this obscure band I found on YouTube.
So, with keeping in mind what I'm picturing doesn't work, any kind of ambient jazz works lol

I think we're good. It's just a food stand so I sided against it. I can whip one up if you think we need it

Upon President Thomas Jefferson’s purchase of the Louisiana Territory in 1803, he selected two explorers to map out the territory, engage with the native tribes, and to catalog the native flora and fauna to the region. These two explorers, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set out from a very small French fishing and shipping port that would one day become La Porte D’entree a L’Ouest.
The two men would spend four years trekking through the new territory, spending much of their time studying and taking samples of minerals, plants, and animals to bring back to Washington for the president. However, it appears as though after the sinister pirate Jean Lafitte took over and expanded the small village into a true settlement, the journals and diaries of Lewis and Clark were destroyed, stolen, or sold. Now, it’s up to the new settlers, hired by the new leaders of La Porte, to rediscover the West by cataloging the species they see throughout La Porte and Frontierland, just as Lewis and Clark themselves had.
Once guests download the Play Disney Parks app, they will get a notification from the app upon entering La Porte through Adventureland, or Frontierland through Liberty Square. If they choose to partake, the app will open up an empty diary, full of spots to fill in the tons of different plants and animals that they “discover” on a day in the Magic Kingdom.
With Frog Mountain and The Bayou being established territories, guests can meander the paths of La Porte, searching for any evidence animals may be present. Imagineers have taken special precautions to hide different animals in plain sight throughout La Porte and Frontierland, be it by creating tracks in the walkway, along the scenery, or perhaps even on the ceiling. In your hunt, you may also come into contact with the animals themselves, as some animals have been given their own animatronics hidden throughout both lands.
Once guests discover a track, basic information will be revealed to them about the animal in question. Facts such as the animal’s name, where it lives, what it eats, among other things are revealed in order to help guests both learn more about the animal and also to continue tracking it down. Once the animal (animatronic) itself has been discovered, guests can take a picture and scan a QR code near the animal through the Play Disney Parks app and upload it to their diary, where a sketch of the animal appears as if in a naturalist’s journal.
Once every animal is discovered, guests can bring their app to any gift shop in La Porte or in Frontierland and redeem their hard work to get a special prize: an official Lewis and Clark explorer pin, something to wear and to celebrate helping to rediscover the many animals along the two lands.
The game will feature 15 animals to discover, located in the Bayou, around the Rivers of America, and through Frontierland. Some animals require rides on the Riverboat to even discover. The full list of animals to look for is as follows

This is what I've got for the presentation:
www.youtube.com
Who would have thought that a piece of land deep in the bayou, nestled away from the hustle and bustle of New Orleans, would become a place of delight and wonder?
Said to have been one of the key passage points in the Lewis and Clark Expedition, this intersection of swampland and river would become home to none other than Jean Lafitte, legendary pirate and privateer. In need of a waypoint closer to the mainland for his operations, Jean discovered the destination and founded a settlement there: La Porte D'entree à L'Ouest (translated as The Gateway to the West), or La Porte for short. This settlement was a safe harbor for all sorts of scoundrels who sought to evade the law, from fellow pirates to gamblers dodging their debts. Of course, even a legendary pirate like Lafitte would need people to serve as “mayor” while he was away, preserving the settlement’s traditions even after his passing. Many would manage, but more and more the word of westward expansion brought fear to its townspeople. However, a chance encounter in the 1840s would forever alter the settlement’s fate.
Henri LaTriche, the “mayor” of La Porte at that time, happened to meet a wealthy gentleman stopping off in the town for a night’s rest. Henri initially saw him as his latest mark, striking up conversation as he planned out how to fleece the man of his money in cards. However, as the gentleman talked about his plans to manage a gold mining operation out West and how it was his luck that the town was here to serve as a safe haven before heading West, Henri began thinking of all the wallets that would be passing through the town. He realized something: respectability could bring far more profits into his pocket than any crooked operation. With that, he launched a massive renovation of the town. Gone were the days of serving as just a safe harbor for criminals and thieves! La Porte would become a safe harbor for any travelers, whether those on the way or those seeking to carve out a new life for themselves! True, this mission was fueled by Henri’s greed, but these days, there is no doubting the welcoming atmosphere of the town.
Protected by the shades of the bayou, La Porte offers a quiet place for a traveler to rest their feet for a moment or two. The sounds of jazz and ragtime float through the air, as guests wander its streets at their own pace. For instance, those in need of a meal might stop by La Cuisinière du Bayou, managed by local chef Sylvain Broussard. Originally born in France, Sylvain grew up in the bayou and found the wonders of its tastes and flavors. Coming from a line of chefs, he has taken the family techniques and mixed them with a Cajun flavor sensation. Be sure to stop by for a bite. Meanwhile, folks in need of a little adventure might stop by the Wilkinson Treasure Expeditions cart. Schemer and veritable con man Nathan E. S. Wilkinson is there peddling tales of the legendary Lewis and Clark Treasure, claiming that his maps can guide folks to the location of riches that had once belonged to the famous explorers. You can stop by and join the quest for this treasure if you like. After all, this has just got to be the latest brand of humbug that Wilkinson is selling to visitors…right?
Of course, be mindful of wandering too far into the bayou. Hidden in the forests and swamps is a place that the locals call Frog Mountain. Besides the gators and frogs that populate that swampy piece of land, there is something far more powerful said to be there: magic. Some even claim that the land falls under the domain of Mama Odie, the Voodoo queen of the bayou. In any case, wander that part of the bayou at your own caution. You might just see some wondrous sights among the fireflies...or some shadowy friends from the "Other Side".

I think it looks great! Maybe add a picture or two from the project to the intro post. Or mention that you can use Prezi to explore the map yourself as well as click through to explore the project in order. Some old folks like me who were in school before Prezi existed never used it before lolThis is what I've got for the presentation:
