. . . . . . . . . . . . Fun fact: Did you know Walt Disney was Irish American? His family was French, but moved to Kilkenny, Ireland in 1691. The family traveled to New York in 1834, sailing from Liverpool, England. As we know from there they settled down in Ohio.

Wow. I never knew of the Disney family in Ohio. I thought the family moved to Marceline, MO. (you know, Main Street, USA and all . . .)

I tried to look it up, associating Disney with Ohio, but all I found was this old topic:

Walt Disney World(Cleveland OH) is an Brand new Theme Park that will be entirely New to Cleveland OH part of the Disney Parks and Resorts parks. This will be announced Soon. There will be Four Theme Parks from Walt Disney World(Florida), and a brand new Exclusive 5th Theme Park for Disney Parks called the DisneySea and for the First Time Ever there will be a Walt Disney World Hotel(Similar to the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel with 420 Rooms) with a Taxi that takes you Wishing Star Lake next to the Theme Park and another Hotel Toy Story Hotel(Toy Story Related with a Sunnyside Cafe and has 800 Rooms) and the Brand New Disneytown(Also similar to Shanghai Disney Resort's Disneytown with Retail Shopping, Dining and Entertainment such as Disney's The Lion King the Broadway Musical). Open Date: TBA

I was stunned, until I found that this was from 2002. Too bad; the huge jump in my property values only last about 10 seconds . . . . . Dang.

Good morning all. I've been reading but laying low. Dad remains in ICU. How he is holding on is a mystery to us all. My heart is so heavy. Thank you all for your kind words, thoughts and prayers.

Granny, I hope your wife is doing well. Kat, your photos (as always) are fabulous. Jimmy and Tammy, welcome back, hope you will be able to post some photos. Julie I hope you can post some pics too. Funny about the commando pace, I love that we don't need to do that anymore.

Happy Birthday Inky.

Granny - how's Mrs. Granny doing? Home from the hospital?

Julie...thanks for asking. Mrs Granny is home from the hospital and recovering from the surgery. Still pretty much bound to the couch but feeling a little better each day.

So...I'm not obsessing about the VWL2...really I'm not!

But I do find it interesting, and for some reason I never noted that the plans include ponds between the current VWL and the cabins, with a footbridge or two to cross them.

I guess I should have figured that blue meant water on the plans! Duh!

And this plan that was posted calls out "NEW PONDS" and "NEW BRIDGE" as well as a new parking area for the cabins.

Now all this has probably been posted on this thread but for whatever reason I didn't pick up on some of it. The ponds might be nice. Just some more grist for the mill.

I don't know, but something about this map has me excited. Maybe I've gone through all of the depression stages already?
