Oliver Polymer, Dreamers Resort

Transmission Sending...
----------------------------
March 6, 2086
To Mr. Emmanuel Polymer
Centauri Base 0327
Moon of Titan, Saturn Orbit
Dear Mr. Polymer,
My name is Dr. Sebastian Blair, and I am the Chief Officer of Imagination for the Department of Dreamers, a subset organization of the Society of Explorers and Adventurers, who currently resides and specializes in the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. I hope this transmission reaches you well due to the asteroid belt interference the Department has been facing reaching you explorers. I understand you've had differences with the society in years past, with them pulling you off your dream Epcot resort concept years ago, and forcing you to leave your family behind to explore the great beyond en route to the moon of Titan.
It was a tough decision indeed, but in many ways, the society has become all encompassing to its members, not as it was in years past as a social explorer club of Henry, Mary, Harrison, and more. With nearly 2 centuries past since the dawn of the society, it isn't want it once was, and even though I may be bringing up some bad memories of leaving your only son Oliver behind, the Department of Dreamers has kept a close watch on him throughout the years. And with that I bring you some good tidings.
Oliver has grown up to be a fine young man. A dreamer, architect, and visionary unlike anyone we've ever seen. When you left him at 12 years old, his anger and frustration stifled his creativity. He didn't understand why S.E.A. chose you to leave, especially when you had a family. Nevertheless, he grew up surrounded by all your ideas and inventions, and once he turned 16 and matured through his early anger, he began to tinker with them. I'm assuming you're familiar with your never-finished concept for an Instrument of 1,000 Instruments? Oliver cracked it. The genius designer that he is, Oliver has became proficient in the piano, harp, sax, organ, flute, and even guitar...all on the same instrument. A revolutionary idea that swept the nation, winning him his high school science fair and earning him a scholarship to the University of Oxford. There he traveled the globe in search of answers to who his father was, and why you left with S.E.A.
He traveled to the original S.E.A. headquarters in Mediterranean Harbor, did a semester abroad in Mystic Point, and explored the seven seas on the Oceaneer submarine. He understood that S.E.A. had you venture to the moon of Titan as the first manned quest for intergalactic passenger travel, changing the atmosphere of Titan to be habitable, and melting the deep ice to create water for sustainable life. Essentially creating a second home for humanity. They haven't told anyone on earth what the mission was about, Oliver had to travel into the boundless realms of the S.E.A. mythos to discover these secrets kept from him for years.
But while he gained an appreciation for why you had to leave with S.E.A., his resentment for you faded into sadness, and a somber desire to see you. He tried to design his own propulsion system into space, but to no avail. He tried traveling to Fortress Explorations to gaze up into the stars, but there was no telescope able to reach you on the surface. The one connection your son had to you was, the Instrument of 1,000 Instruments, until one day, while glancing through your old office, he happened upon other plans. Designed sketches for an Epcot resort that was highly immersive and interactive, something that embodied Walt Disney's dream of the future - a person that your son has taken a liking to personality wise, similar to yourself.
We even got your son's Myers-Briggs Personality Test back - he's an ENTJ, just like yourself as I glanced through your archives. I've attached some of the results and renderings to this message to help you get a better understand, Emmanuel.
ENTJ for your son's personality means he elicits strategic, logical, efficient, outgoing, ambitious, independent traints, and is an effective organizer of people and long range planners.
Your son Oliver has shown those traits in spades by taking your old hand-drawn concept sketches from years ago, and using them as inspiration for a new Epcot resort for all to enjoy.
Concept Sketch #1
Location of the Dreamers Resort Complex, a series of two eight story architectural marvels on both sides of the entrance to Epcot, connected by a 'high in the sky' breezeway. 
Concept Sketch #2
Panoramic of the entrance to Epcot with the Dreamers Resort flanking both sides of the entrance to Future World East and West.
Concept Sketch #3
Lobby Atrium with the Fountain of Wishes.
With his sound logic, he went to the board of directions at Epcot, proposing your resort complex as an experience unlike any other for the guests near Epcot. Something that invites them in to be involved in the experience. A resort that welcomes and lets guests explore their own stories.
Beginning with the grand vista of a lobby, the eight story atrium will entice guests inside a lobby that symbolizes all the scientific branches that the original Epcot spirit embodied. Those of Communication, Energy, Space, Transportation, Imagination, Ecology, Technology, and Oceanic Life. Each floor of the atrium is dedicated in colors, theme, and design to those specific science fields - with the grand designer himself Oliver Polymer having his touch of innovation over ever corner of the resort.
When guests arrive to the Dreamers Resort, they are immersed in the sights, sounds, and smells of a kinetic world. An ever moving, ever changing technological marvel, with a 'Fountain of Wishes' in the center as you intended, where guests can 'dream' their own futures. With entertainment and interactive exhibits throughout the resort, this will bring the spirit of the old CommuniCore exhibits to life, as ever since the new central spine project, there is no place to showcase technological innovations anymore Emmanuel, but your son has brought that showcase to life at the front of Epcot.
The rooms themselves are themed eloquently to the areas of science that Oliver and yourself wanted to convey, with the energy rooms themed with highly intricate arrays of energy efficient 'solar' powered resort rooms, whereas the 'space floor' places guests in earth orbit to connect thematically with the space restaurant in Future World East.
With each floor of rooms having its own unique flavor, the resort is unlike anything ever seen before. Oliver even built the Vacation Club destination on the adjacent side, connected via a breezeway called the 'high in the sky breezeway'. With suites, family style two and three bedroom villas, and basically everything to satisfy incoming families. Oliver said that family was his main priority when designing the resort, as he dedicated the construction and features of the resort all to you, Emmanuel, his only family.
On opening day, Oliver made a promise to not only the guests, but to you, his father, that he would do everything he could to ensure that this resort would continue to be a beacon of hope and inspiration that those who believe in dreams should chase them. Because if you can dream it, you can do it. This resort is dedicated to those who make the tough decisions that inspire others to live out their dreams as well.
Oliver Polymer than announced that he would be living in the Dreamers Resort and the Epcot surrounding area for the foreseeable future, using his talents as a musician to provide entertainment and his personal flair to the resort, meeting guests, telling them about his stories, and much more - to add his spirit to the ambiance of the resort, personalizing his interactions with the guests.
With his extroverted and outgoing personality, Oliver Polymer is a guest favorite nowadays. People line up from all of the world not only to stay at the luxurious resort, but to be able to meet with Oliver himself. Guests wanted to learn more from such a talented innovator, so Oliver holds Story-Time Sessions with guests periodically throughout the day, as well as one on one Meet & Greets at certain sections of the resort, where he inspires guests to fulfill their dreams and answers their questions about how to pursue their own dreams. For the holiday seasons, Oliver dresses up the entire resort for the occasion, holding parties and festivals for the guests during Valentine's Day, July 4th, Halloween, and Christmas, among other holidays.
But arguably the most significant entertainment Oliver provides for guests, is the nightly dinner show in the Inspiration Cafe, where he plays the Instrument of 1,000 Instruments for the guests throughout the meal, interacting with them and showing off new inventions of his along the way, inviting guests (mostly children) up to demonstrate those inventions with typically zany and fun results. Through digital effects, lighting, and neon glowing floors, the Inspiration Cafe is the signature dining experience and entertainment option at the Dreamers Resort, thanks to your son.
Oliver playing the Instrument of 1,000 InstrumentsHe even wrote a song for you, Emmanuel. Each of his dinner shows ends with a tribute to you, and a slideshow of your life and how you inspired him to dream beyond the horizon, which motivated him to write his song, 'A Dream For Tomorrow' the theme song of the resort.
Hopefully, Emmanuel, I have given you a cohesive update on Oliver's inspiring acts and that you're able to view this message due to the asteroid belt interference. My dream is one day you can reunite with your son once more.
Yours in Exploration and Adventure,
Dr. Sebastian Blair

Dr. Sebastian Blair, Emmanuel cannot access this transmission, but he programmed me to take all his incoming messages. He is in hyper-sleep for his return journey to earth. He worked tirelessly to end the S.E.A. Titan mission ahead of schedule, to leave the moon with the hopes of reuniting with his beloved son, Oliver.

Checked both desktop and mobile...can see them perfectly. Uploaded the same way I have for months. But went the extra step to upload them directly to the site, which throws the formatting off, but whatever. Let me know if you see them now.

I couldn't see them this morning either. I do see sketches 1 and 2 now, but not 3 or the 1000 strings pic. Maybe just my phone though.
Great job on this btw.

So strange haha -- ironically 1 and 2 are linked the same way as before (when nobody could see it) and 3/4 are through my personal album on the site. I'll just change it back to the original way, if they aren't able to be seen then it must be meant to be that way
But thank you -- everyone did an awesome job! Very creative round.

@TheOriginalTiki I know you’re busy unpacking from your trip but is the podcast tonight? Will Jacob be on it again? Will we have written reviews before that?
Written reviews will be coming tonight without the scores to add suspense for the podcast. Not sure if Jacob will be on or not.

These will have to be on the short side as I'm still recovering from my trip. I'll post the scores after the live podcast.
@kmbmw777 gotta admit I was a bit concerned when I saw what you themed your project around, but you put in a lot of energy and unique elements to set it apart from the Star Lord dance-off over in California Adventure that I've seen in person. What I like about this is the creative use of technology and how the songs so closely tie to the character. It's not the most original concept in the world but you went out of your way to give it a fun twist. Nicely done!
@AceAstro just got back from Hollywood Studios and while I liked the park's atmosphere more than I thought I would considering how much was under construction, SO MUCH more could be done with the Muppet section of the park. We'll likely never get a Great Muppet Movie Ride, and Pizza Rizzo is routinely voted as among the worst counter service on property, so this is a great compromise that opens up the area for future expansion. Side note...Via Napoli was the second best meal of my trip after Toothsome's at CityWalk (MAKE A POINT TO GO HERE!!), so Melrose has some competition in that department.
@Pionmycake yet another smash hit! The personality of this character simply bursts off the page and had me smiling ear to ear. I also love stories that feature inanimate objects as active characters (see Breaking Bad's RV) so Chaplin was a wonderful secondary addition. It warms my heart seeing so much potential being mined out of such a simple premise. I wish I had more to say but the success of the project simply speaks for itself. It will definitely be a highlight of the project. Also, I'd love to see you do an intentionally bad audition for ABC's bizarre American Idol reboot. William Hung it up
@DisneyManOne...YES! So much YES! God I love this. This is so in the vein of Tolkien and old school Ren-Fair style that it warms my heart as one of my favorite unsung musical and literary subjects. This isn't unlike what is currently in the parks but works really well to establish and take the idea of a wandering storyteller to the next level. High props for the amount of detail included. Much like Pi, the personality of Clef simply leaps off the page. This project was so much fun to read through, and as usual with the prompt I'm loving the level of variety you guys are managing to come up with!
@D Hindley yet another super unique presentation, and fittingly enough I love the synergy of having four Purist Projects to go against four Innovators projects in the Elite Eight. Having just been in this area, Bay Lake fascinates me with how Disney-fied the idea of resorts around a lagoon can be, and this project would definitely add a futuristic level of fun and complexity to the mix. Daft Punk is one of my all time favorite bands and to this day I'd put Season Ten's "Daft Punk Space Mountain" on a Mount Rushmore of favorite SYWTBAI projects. This prompt is a great expansion on something like this and shows the excellent "chocolate and peanutbutter" quality that Daft Punk and Disney Futurism can provide.
@Disney Dad 3000 Very sorry for your loss in terms of the original write-up, I've definitely been there in the past with this project. Having said that, this might be the most elegant, understated, and realistic proposal of the bunch so by all means you managed to salvage the situation. I absolutely adore the idea of a resort themed around entertainment. Dare I say it reminds me of the hotel from my all time favorite so bad it's good movie, Dancin' It's On!, but in a much classier setting. Very much has all the styling of a boutique Deluxe Disney resort with the character this prompt calls for.
@spacemt354 and @pixie_princess, all I can say before the podcast is this will be a VERY tough decision.
Podcast will be going live in about an hour.
