Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

HOLY moly! That's quite the addition! Glad ToonTown is gone though, I feel like it was more of a spaceholder than anything. Shame my family doesn't really spend alot of time in Fantasyland. We're more of an Adventureland and Tomorrowland family lol

Hmmm, I wonder if they have thought about how the trees might ruin the perspective of the castles.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

wont ruin the perspective as long as they look like they belong in the foreground... that is whay you only will see rockwork and the sky around the castle... and they should see big trees close up, and the closer to the ridebuilding the should get shorter and more of the dwarf variety...

I had always thought this would be first to open. I think the new Dumbo area is going to look great! :mickey:

I agree ~ Dumbo will be more fun flying over the water! I really didn't take a lot of time to look over the wall at the construction while we were there. It was too crowded during the day and well, a little too dark at night :lol:
