Team Drax Proudly Presents...
Disney's Critter Country Campground

Created By @RMichael21 @Pionmycake @Magic Feather @IAmNotAHufflepuff @Angels and Disney's @DlpPhantom @David2319 @kmbmw777 @DSquared @AdventurerEllie and @orlando678- --- With Coaches @MANEATINGWREATH and @Sam4D23

"For your second challenge, Team Drax will design a complete revival of the abandoned River Country water park, along with a refurbishment of the Fort Wilderness resort/campground area and must creatively find a way to incorporate Dog With A Blog into their project"

Team Drax is thrilled to present the complete re-imagining of Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. Disney's Critter Country Campground will be a completely pet-friendly, critter-inspired resort, with new amenities and experiences being catered to families with dogs, cats and critters alike. With six different themed cabin areas, a re-imagined River Country named "Geyser River", and refurbished amenities, the newly revitalized Disney's Critter Country Campground will give guests a classic Walt Disney World experience, but at a modern standard. In addition, a state-of-the-art pet kennel, named Pet Pointe, will allow guests to drop their pets off either for the day (if you stay at a pet-friendly cabin at Disney's Critter Country Campground, your pets can come back to the cabin for the night!) or for the duration of your vacation should you stay at one of Disney's other resort hotels or in a pet un-friendly cabin at the campground.


Now where's "Dog With A Blog", you may ask? When given the daunting task of incorporating the Disney Channel sitcom "Dog With A Blog" into their project, team members decided that rather than shove the show into the actual resort in an inappropriate place, we would creatively incorporate the property into our presentation.

So, we contacted Stan from "Dog With A Blog" and he told us that him and the rest of his family were heading to Florida for a Walt Disney World Resort vacation at the newly-opened Disney's Critter Country Campground. We asked if he could write daily blog posts on his blog and he loved the idea! In fact, he created an all new division of his blog. So, click the link below to check it out!

Review TIME!!

Once again is time for our favorite time of year, well of the month. It’s time for Voxel’s Voxtastic Vox filled review, this episode contains my reviews for this round of the Creator Games. (I’m feeling hungry thinking about this, See what I did there :p)

First off, before I start the reviews I most state one thing. I just read the prompt for this challenge. I hope you all looked for the Amoeba in the room.

Side note: This would be a difficult and impossible task to revive to due the fact that late last year most of the River Country USA pools were filled with concrete. :p


TEAM DRAX

A dog with a travel Blog, what a brilliant way to handle the challenge given to you. When I saw that you had to implement Dog with a blog I cringed, while I love the dry humor and fun of the show I couldn’t figure how you would implement it into the challenge, great job incorporating that. Time to click the link: OMG Perfect, you did an amazing job with this! I love the blog theme of it. Mad props!

I’ll be frank and honest with this, I’m not sure how I feel about the result having a pet friendly aspect. I feel like it’s a bit of a stretch and possibly a safety hazard to the community. Not saying all dogs are bad but I feel like their may be some legality issues with pets and kids in the same area. For instance, my dogs is deaf and a sweet heart but will bite if a kid runs buy him scary him, (this has almost happened because someone bolted past him while he was asleep terrifying him).

The concerns and legality issues out of the way, I think the idea would be very profitable. Pets in modern American have a higher level of familial acceptance that wasn’t there decades ago when Disney first opened. Pets have be come more and more like family ever few years and I know that most ppl would love to bring their pet with this. I think the new Pet daycare/nightcare facility you built knocked it out of the park. People will love to have that, though I feel like checking the dog out of the daycare and bringing him/her back to your hotel room might be a pay. Perhaps with the Magic of MyMagic+ you could implement a system that allows the daycare to deliver the pet to your hotel room right when your returning.

I’m not sure how I feel about the revival of River Country, and I mean that as a hit against the challege. That being said I have a feeling you build a replacement that is adequate though I fear for your pricing system. At $35/$25 your will drive a large crowding issue of people wanting to come to Geyser River for the price alone. This will lower crowds at the other two water parks and make it difficult for the ppl who are staying at the resort to use it as their pool. Might want to rethink the strategy on that one. That being said I feel like the water park is a great addition and the attraction you brought in work out perfectly for this parks.

Critter Country it self. I love the themes that you implement with the different camp grounds I think that will be a massive draw for the upcoming crowds and will be brilliant. I freaking love the CHOO CHOO! give me more trains they are fun and amazing source of transportation, however I have concerns for it being used as a means of transportation for Pet Friendly hotels. IE, how do you prevent run away dogs running into the train tracks, what do you do about dogs who are afraid of getting on the train, are there other ways to get to your camp site. Can you park closer. I have so many question.

Over all I think you guys build a great project, it’s completely unique and unlike things I have seen in this forum before. I think there are a lot of flaws, but that is the nature when you create something so unlike what has been seen before. Well down, this was blue skying at its greatest and you should be proud of the work.



Team Baby Groot.

I BEEPING love your logos! They are brilliant!

…. The audio and that Western accent.. Who gave it, it needs to be worked on a little bit. But its fun unique and won me over instantly. I haven’t seen anything this unique for webpage since Eng’s cruise announcements. One downside your audio is too long, maybe short bits for each page would be better.

I am slightly confused by the images on the button of the first page, I have a feeling that they have to due without the resort and water park but I believe captions would help alot.

You must have known I was judging. I am a sucker for back stories and this makes me happy!! Yay backstories!

When I saw that you were going to move the parking lot I was like OHH now, but than I realized you also said you are expanding the parking lot, that will help out a lot. Esp if your going to have a full Water Park.

I feel like you guys nailed the water park features, you built a water park that rivals the original park and possibly the two current Disney Water parks. I think you saw the new Universal Park as a rival and have up the system. I love the story, and the Theming great job!

The junction is a brilliant idea and well executed, I think it’s add realism to the section and adds that flair of Disney Magic.

OMG one major flaw!! Audio on the front page was amazing, but having it randomly on other pages is confusing and throws me off. I don’t know what’s going on and I get confused as heck

Amazing job guys, Really it is an Amazing job!. I love all the little detail that you guys have placed into this project. It’s amazing to see all the little things that have continue to progress over the last few years of the competition. I love this progress, it’s amazing to see how well the challenges improve over time.

Well, to be fair, we tried to market it as the opposite of a water park and more of just a place with some pools and a lazy river where you can relax. Nothing on the scope or size of the other Disney water attractions. That way it wasn't just another park. We wanted to create something different, unique and out of the box.

The reason for the low pricing because I saw that we would be critiqued for having higher pricing for a non-water park experience. I mean, a one day ticket to the normal parks is 60 bucks, so we saw that just under half would be reasonable for about half of the experience.

But, that's my fault for not getting that point across. :p

Your website is REALLY FUNNY! :hilarious:

Don't get me wrong, I think you got the point across and I love the idea of a relaxation park. It's amazing. I'm just afraid you will confuse some of the guest who think it's a full water park or something. I think it will need some sort of crowd control mechanism. :D

Okay, that's fair. :p And I was planning on putting a max capacity portion in there but forgot. Oops. :rolleyes::D

Session 2- Concept Creation Challenge Reviews!
Got Awesome Mix Vol. 1 playing in the background, ready to go through what's sure to be a super fun set of projects (after all, when there's DWAB, it's gonna be sick:cool::D), as well as looking forward to some hopefully really strong and close competition! So let's get to it!

Team Drax:
-Love the introduction! The new name of the area is very fun, and the premise seems to be well thought out and promising so far- as in, it adds to the current concept with a few new neat ideas but isn't completely reinventing it to the point where it's an overly complex change- let's hope the rest of the project holds up! ;) :D
-Very creative use of DWAB! It was very clear in your brainstorming PM how you really took the disadvantage as rather a new opportunity to have fun with a unique Imagineering challenge. I love the direction you ended up going in with DWAB (The website is excellent and makes for a very fun presentation! I started cracking up at the comments and I've never even seen the show:hilarious:), and the idea of it seemed to seek into your actual concept of making it very animal friendly which is a very cool thing, so awesome work there!
-As much as I loved this presentation style, some of it I have to admit though was a bit odd to read :p Like for example Stan finding it weird how they were in cabins, Avery thinking some slides were too short...it reals almost like the concept was being critiqued by itself.
-Pet Pointe is a nice addition. As someone with a dog, it can be a bit hard to plan a trip over night with not always having somewhere for him to be, so I would definitely love to see something like this.
-The part about having special sensors to sense doggie menaces doesn't seem to be something that would work all that well. Granted, I'm being nitpicky focusing on this one thing, but it seems pretty impractical to set up and have work, and not only that very expensive for system that really doesn't help the way menaces would have to be cleaned up now.
-Don't think I mentioned this yet, but nice touches with custom art/maps/logos!
-While I like the concept of a peaceful relaxation spring for Geyser River in theory, I don't really know how well that would work in execution. Any area really can be like that, the problem is crowds- when a new water park is opening (despite the rebranding from not like the other water parks), people will be flocking to it (especially with all of the new high quality rides there) and it will not really be what I would call relaxing I don't think.
-I like the different new water rides, but some of it could have been explained a lot more. For example in Cavern Creek having "glowing ceiling and special effects" in the caves doesn't really mean much to me because I don't really know what experience this is supposed to create/its significance. Now I'm only really picking on the negatives though, other than that it was very well designed and full of cool concepts.
-Adopting dogs from local shelters is nice, though having a special show where they do tricks doesn't really sound like it would be the most captivating thing to a lot of guests...nor would I imagine it's incredibly practical to do so.
-The Hoop Dee Doo Revue update sounds nice! It keeps eeps the character of the old one, which is good. I'm sure plenty of people would miss the old one, but it definitely could use an update.
-Everything on Day 5 with the loops is nice (plus the Stan narration was funny:D:p). The theming here definitely would upgrade Ft. Wilderness/Critter Country Campground to be much more of a destination to check out on your trip if you aren't staying there as walking around could be an attraction on its own.
-Overall this was a really solid project! I won't hide that it did have some faults here and there, but on the whole I think it was really well done and CCC would make a very nice Ft Wilderness overhaul.

Team Baby Groot:

-Once again, I feel like I need to be opening this with how impressed I am with the logos and artwork:jawdrop::D I always love seeing this, and they really make the project look much more professional!
-The audio narration was very unique and cool! Very first of its kind for a presentation! Though I have to be honest, as cool of an idea it was, it could have been modified a bit as it didn't really flow well having to sit and listen to the audio and then having to wait to read the page :p Just a silly nitpick though....Seriously, the effort in this is incredible. (Plus the Fronteirland esque music in the background was fun!).
-Also looks like RCT3 creations? Very nice!
-The backstory is very fun, I especially like how you tied it in with Splash Mountain lore (I too am a Splash Mountain nerd @Brer Oswald :hilarious::D)
-I don't know if I love parking at TTC. Parking there to go to MK can be a bit annoying on its own, and adding this in there could make it more hectic without a large revamp of the TTC (plus, I'm not too sure on this, but how this would affect the parking capacity is something that should be looked at). On the other hand, it might be cool in the way the train ride can set up the adventure similarly to how the boat/monorail does for MK.
-I really like the idea of incorporating MyMagic+ technology into a modern water park like this, like in Natures Wonderland trails, but the details of this weren't really explained. I feel like that was a missed opportunity not to talk about this more and make it a focal point rather than simply mention it as this could have been a really great way to get creative and push the boundaries.
-I like having the lounge chairs on grass. And make sure it's really grass, not this annoying fake Florida crab grass I have to deal with:cautious:
-As you go through each section, in particular Copper Creek's Gone Fishing', I can't help but find myself preoccupied that the amount of land this place would take up. These natural vistas would look incredible, but it just seems so huge, and I can't really get a good grip of the proportions from the map. Not to mention the insane amount of rock work needed just for a water park...While it sounds like an amazing place to go, in order to flesh out everything that's describes, it also does sound a bit unrealistic.
-The night show is a cool addition for the water park, although possibly a bit unnecessary as I doubt the nighttime in the park will be that populated. That said it sounds very fun, lighthearted and exciting. The premise reminds me of the Tree of Life awakenings but with a nice twist!
-The Jamboree Junction is very well done, I really like the work put into the golf course and Tall Timber inn. It does circle a bit back to my worry of it being a little too expansive, but ignoring that these are really cool ideas that fans would eat up!
-Like you said on the last page, it ties into Fronteirland very well and I really like that a lot! I've always wanted a resort for each of the main MK lands:cat:
-Overall another great project, it's clear once again you guys really put your heart into it, and while it's not perfect, there is a lot of really cool things about it, from presentation to concept.


Phew...and there's another set of reviews done!:D Great projects to all, this was very fun! And now, it's time for me and @Voxel to discuss who we think the winners should be, and they will then receive the advantage in the next CC challenge next session. And trust me when I say this is going to be a really close and tough decision:bookworm:
