We have alot to look forward to in the next several years.

My family will be thrilled if the Drive-In Movie Restaurant is like the Sci-Fi Restaurant in Disney Studios.

I'm really excited! DCA is a fun park but with these improvements it might finally be on par with Disneyland.

DW is very, very excited at the return of the Flying Saucers type of ride. We'll definitely have to make plans for a trip to DLR in 2012 or 2013, once everything is done.
