On my first WDW vacation, as part of a senior high school class trip, we stayed in the Dutch Inn in LBV, and I spent a lot of time wandering around the Village - a place far removed from the frenzy and bright colours of the Magic Kingdom, and seemingly trying hard to set a completely different tone outside of the world of pop culture. An environment for and from a world with a slower pace and less media-consciousness.<br /><br />You did an amazing job connecting the dots across the decades. It shows the evolution of WDW to hyper-commercialisation and how that affected how Disney chose to use its land. The points about how LBV contributed to fulfilling parts of the original dream for WDW -- and that that's now gone, or at least greatly morphed -- are bittersweet.sensiblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09547907042339616078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647587.post-31335251449751989982011-02-18T15:41:16.785-05:002011-02-18T15:41:16.785-05:00It's great that they succeeded in building the...It's great that they succeeded in building their dream community, that it actually existed.
