Everything is better with architectural mapping, it's like LSD but without having to carry glass ampules. :D

Very interesting with the DCA concept models and mapping. I really think that park is going to be awesome when they get done with the remodel.

This update had the coolest little article about the divers at Disney! I tried to copy the code to make it easier to share, but no luck :( It is definitely worth a watch though!! :D

When you go to copy/embed the video, go for the selection that offers 'copy old code' or however it's listed.

Also there's an interesting map detailing the past, present and future attractions in DCA. http://www2.ocregister.com/multimedia/CalifAdven10yr/

Today marks 10 years for DCA. Good thing I'm older than the park. :lol:

Any word on Little Mermaid soft openings? I was hoping to catch an one, but from the looks of things I might just be too early... :ariel:
Drop another coin in slot and I will tell you more.

Do they ever actually publish dates for soft openings (not counting leaked dates)? I thought they keep them underwraps so that they don't get totally slammed with people.

I think so. But I'm looking for anything I can find. I'm hoping to get a press pass or something tho!

Ms. Swann is right. Disney only publishes the official opening dates, and never discloses soft openings. You need to check for the different non-Disney websites for any leaks for that.
