As somewhat of a side note, some of you are clearly interested in policy issues regarding Disney, local governments and transportation. If so I *highly* recommend the book, "Married to the Mouse" by Richard Foglesong. Lots of thinking about what Disney owes Orlando and vice versa. Info on how Disney acquired the property, established RCID, etc. Although the book predates ME, it does talk about Disney desire to bring about a economic closed loop for Disney visitors, and you'll see how ME fits perfectly into that system.
Note that for some, it will feel more like a policy textbook than a fun read. Also note that many "Disney lovers" will perceive the book to have an anti-Disney bias (i.e. if you believe that Disney built Orlando and should get to do whatever it wants, this ain't the book for you.) Finally, note that the book is a bit pricey, so you should check your library and maybe used book sellers (Amazon Marketplace should have a copy cheap).
But, as I said, if you have an interest it these issues, get this book!
