The article posted today by the Associated Press makes it sound as though the original house was cold and uninviting to guests. It's odd that Disney would want to "pay tribute" to a classic of the past, while simultaneously berating it. Hmm. <BR/><BR/>LINK to the AP article:<BR/>http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jJUqP4kHAoSLYmRhpPQ59F8GWwbAD8UPNOHO1Kevin Kidneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401940509568134621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-32432395279738991692008-02-14T21:19:00.000-08:002008-02-14T21:19:00.000-08:00The close up of the sign references the Big Game S...The close up of the sign references the Big Game Safari, a personal favorite from my early visits. The shooting arcades were so much more fun when you shot actual lead pellets...I can still picture the attendant loading my rifle before I could cut loose on the elephants and tigers and such.<BR/><BR/>Also, I believe the location where the girl is getting her sketch done is still in business. It's over by the the beautiful courtyard with the curving stairs in NOS. <BR/><BR/>My kids have always wanted to get their sketches done, and I've got to do that one of these days (kind of spendy though).walterworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18319070921534941313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-73481436340245329782008-02-14T18:24:00.000-08:002008-02-14T18:24:00.000-08:00Tim - Someone sent me the link to those sketches y...Tim - Someone sent me the link to those sketches yesterday - amazing how quickly the price shot up. Uh, yeah...your birthday...I'll keep that in mind! After doing some more web cruising today, it DOES appear that the 1st Floor of Innoventions will be where the new HOF will go. I sure hope that is not correct...Davelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720475138513029144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-47364285763929469932008-02-14T09:41:00.000-08:002008-02-14T09:41:00.000-08:00Fantastic picture of HOF Dave.

Where do you think they will put it?

I'm a bit disappointed to hear that the outside is going to look like an ordinary tract home. Why not at least attempt some sort of futuristic styling, for the fun of it?Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.com
