DCA Gets A Worthy Overhaul Budget

elizabethswann · Post by **elizabethswann** » Mar Tue 30, 2010 2:15 pm

I hardly believe in off season anymore myself but if I do go, I would prefer to go during a school day where it's not too crowded. I'm going to want to avoid going this month and next since there will be various spring breaks going on. My college's spring break isn't until next month.

Your college has a really late spring break! Does your school year go extra long, or was your Christmas beak super long? If I lived anywhere close I would totally play hooky to go on a weekday and avoid crowds and lines

and get a chocolate earred Mickey Mouse rice krispie treat

My semesters are different. Spring starts late February and runs until early/mid June. Fall is late August to early December. Summer and Winter are six weeks.

As always, thank you for posting...I don't always get over to MC to check out the updates.

I am so excited for WoC!!!! The park looks amazing and the new fountain will be a great way to cool off/wear out the kids in the summer! (We did this with our niece in the Bountiful Valley farm water area several years ago...worked like a charm!)

The park does look incredible and I'm glad that they're incorporating the Main Street USA kind of music to fit the theme.

Yeah, as much as I really like the California boardwalk-inspired music from the '60s, I think the new music will set the tone better.

At least I can still request the current Pier music on this site....but I have to find a copy of it for me to add to my ever-growing library though!

Exactly! The current Pier music won't go anywhere and I do have the full hour of Paradise Pier music in my iTunes as well as a full hour of Main Street USA music.

Were they both available on iTunes? (sorry, I'm not very iTunes saavy...I guess I'd better jump into the 21st Century

)

I'm still hoping to one day be able to request the full Main Street USA loop on Subsonic!

Correct me if I am wrong, but is Paradise Park said to be able to hold 9,000 guests for WoC? Maybe it's my biased view of the Fantasmic! Hollywood Hills Amphitheater at WDW, but that doesn't look like it will hold that many people...

Being that I have not seen the new layout, I can't make that judgement call...but I suppose if you pack everyone in like sardines to a point where everyone has to take turns breathing it will fit 9,000...

I'm pretty sure the viewing area stretches all the way over by the bridge that goes over to the wharf area...though I'm not sure. If that's the case, I could see 9,000 being crammed in. (Disney never said anything about comfort after all)

Does anyone know how many people can view Fantasmic! in New Orleans Square for comparison purposes?

I found them on Frostwire, actually. It's harder to find them now since they appear once in a great while in the search. I will have to upload the full Main Street USA loop when I have the time.

CA is starting to look really nice. It is good to see such a large area open. Does that end the narrow walkway of walls?

To my knowledge, it's only fixes half of the narrow walkway (the other half is The Little Mermaid)....but I'm thinking it's going to be a huge improvement over what it's been like for the past several months. I think the whole park is going to be amazing once they put the whole theme together! (although, I am now more concerned about A Bug's Land and Radiator Springs...they will not fit into that theme so well...I guess there's still a Route 66 theme throughout Radiator Springs...)

Thanks Ms. Swann...I'll have to look into that site.
