I would love an Aquatopia in the old Motor Boat area! Though I'm not sure if it would work within the space that exists (or if Disney would bother to make the area the way it used to be).

Or on a sadder note, they could put a version on the Sub Lagoon when the Subs reach their expiration date and/or Disney tires of dealing with them, whichever comes first.
The only reason the Subs came back was because the vehicles still existed and had a good long life in them. Heck, there were rumors during that one refurb that the subs were never going to come back at all. I cannot imagine a world where Disney builds new subs when the old subs cease to function.
It would be better than them paving over the lagoon completely, at any rate.

Disneyland leg of summer trip:
* booked with a travel agent
* cancelled via a quick email
* received refund within 24 hours
LegoLand leg of summer trip:
* booked through LegoLand website
* cancelled via phone after sitting on hold for 40 minutes (CANNOT cancel or change reservations via email. They won't even respond to tell you that.)
* was told it will take 30 days to receive my refund
Conclusions:
* Always buy the trip modification/flexible vacation option, because no one expects theSpanish Inquisition COVID pandemic!
* Always book through a travel agent
At least I'm going to get my money back. Eventually.

I hope your daughter won't grow out of Legoland before you get to go back. We finally went last summer, my son is a big Lego fan. He was 11 at the time, and while we had fun, he was a bit old and recognized that it didn't hold a candle to Disneyland.

She's only 8, and timid with rides, so I think we're ok for a bit. I hope!
However, I think we might have missed the boat with The Enchanted Forest in Salem. For many years we've driven by on the way to and from the in-laws' place and said, "we'll go next year". And now there's a pandemic. I'm thinking by the time they can open up she isn't going to care about that. Oh well.

Nature has been reclaimed and our air has been restored!
Man I hated having to avoid those areas all these years. Hollywood would have been the perfect location, especially in that back abandoned corner. I thought the old Motor Boat docks in Disneyland was a nicely placed smoking area too if they had to one.

I know WDW Pro isn't the most reliable source, but I thought it might make an interesting discussion over here.
I'm really interested on how you could tell the race of a ghost since they're all either blue or green.

Loved the tires too. First time I rode it with my family, we literally could not get it going and ended up spinning around a sea of beach balls; we found it hilarious. Obviously got better with maneuvering it over time, but the fun did go a bit as soon as the beach balls left.

Sometimes I really allow myself to get worked up over the state of the world, and to some extent I think that's right. This is a fallen world, after all, lost in sin, and that should make us unhappy. Still, I allow it to consume me to an unhealthy degree sometimes where my heart becomes full of anger and hatred for my fellow man who, though sinning, even possibly against me, was made in God's Image, too, and I ought to love him even when there's conflict.
A hymn that I was introduced to not too long ago and has quickly become a favorite of mine is "This is My Father's World," written in 1901 by Maltbie Babcock. In it, Babcock describes God's presence in all of creation, which is something I believe very strongly in for it is impossible for me to see the beauty of this world and not see God's glory in it. In the last verse, it sings,
"That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father's world:
why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King; let the heavens ring!"
It's such a beautiful reminder that even with all of the sin and corruption of our world, God is King and He will make everything right in the end and we oughtn't allow ourselves to worry.
I'm sure this post will be met with some resistance, but I ask that it's not and that the mods will allow it to remain up. I really just wanted to have a moment of self reflection and share with y'all some of my thoughts. Hopefully they can also help you as we deal with very strange and troubling times.

It's one thing to state your opinion, but frankly your behavior yesterday and all too often is not representative of the religion you say you are proud to be apart of. You have a quote in your signature that is advocating for violence against a group of people who think differently than you. As undesirable as you may find them, there are numerous stories in the Bible including his son that openly and intentionally hung out with undesirables of their day. I can tell you that your Google search education is way off from the truth as someone who lived in one those places you despise so much.
You are doing you and your religion no favors. You are doing quite the opposite. I hope you have decency to remove any promotions or acceptance of violence and moving forward conduct yourself in not only a manner that supports the religious teachings you adhere to, but just being decent and empathetic towards others.

I loved that version of Soarin. Didn't realize it used music from this movie!
Congratulations!

I’ve never seen the movie, but it’s one of my favorite themes in the queue loop.
