house of the future

[fan of the TTA]

It looks like
Disneyland
is going to revive its "House of the Future."

The House was a Tomorrowland fixture back in the 1950s, and was later stripped, boxed up and moved to Florida, where it is now rotting, I believe, on U.S.
192 in Kissimmee. Disney's revisited the concept of futurist living over the years more times than I can count: Carousel of Progress, Horizons, the old
Space Mountain exit, to name three examples that pop into my head immediately.

Now reports say that
Disney's trying again
, with a 5,000-sq.-ft. home that will open in Tomorrowland in May.

The $15 million home is a collaboration of The Walt Disney Co., Microsoft Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co., software maker LifeWare and homebuilder Taylor Morrison.

Visitors will experience the look of tomorrow by watching Disney actors playing a family of four preparing for a trip to China.

"It's much different than a spiel that you would get at a trade show," said Dave Miller, director of alliance development for Walt Disney Parks & Resorts.
"We won't get into the bits and the bytes. It will be about the digital lifestyle and how that lifestyle can help you."

Yes, I've heard this and read about it. This one will havelive actors planning a trip to China. The house looks normal on the outside but is jammed with the lasted technology present and future. Sounds Interesting. Oh and it will show the first Smart House I Believe.
