The new facades are much better and more appropriate to the "look", but the COS Pirate ship and the little grotto behind were such masterpieces, it's a shame to lose them just for Dumbo.<br /><br />It would be interesting to compare plan views to see what actually moved around to push Dumbo so far north that the ship had to move. <br /><br />Didn't Alice expand and Mr. Toad push northeast? Village Haus was added then too, the twin "pavilion" hot dog stands were much smaller...<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-22629478040889568472011-06-21T07:38:54.553-07:002011-06-21T07:38:54.553-07:00I agree with Thufer!

I THINK, (IMHO) that Walt would be happy with how it has turned out so far.Thuferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07692445357659425688noreply@blogger.com
