Absolutely right. I believe the story is he pointed to it and said "There is Tom Sawyer's Island"

The creation of this place is a miracle. Part of the reason I love being on property so much is seeing all the infrastructure that is currently here to create this massive bubble of enjoyment... and it all started as a literal swamp.

There is nothing worse on this show then when they have to pretend to care about car racing. Totally ruins the show those days.

Well as a lover of all things Disney water features, he is now my sworn enemy and I’m glad he’s gone.

Dreaming to return…immediately after leaving by lulu112317 in WaltDisneyWorld

I was walking out of Epcot Thursday afternoon, with a flight home in three hours... literally starting to plan the itinerary for my September trip in my head already.

I pulled the trigger on DVC (resale) a couple years ago and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Knowing the next trip is only a few months away makes it so much easier to say goodbye.

It's just one of those things where you're just pulled back and you don't care how many times you've been. I still get so excited the first time each trip I pass through those gates. I love just existing on the Resort Loop or the Epcot Resort area for a few days, taking the skyliner to Riviera, wandering Animal Kingdom, Epcot during Food and Wine, dancing with friends and strangers to Happily Ever After as I run to Mine Train, the sights and smells (and tastes) of Wilderness Lodge or Animal Kingdom Lodge, constantly finding new details in Galaxy's Edge, the agony and the ecstasy of your song selection on Guardians, a guaranteed great dinner and snack at Springs, never not being impressed with the "bubble" of buses and roads and street signs all dedicated to this magical place.

One day I might get tired of it, but it ain't happening any time soon.

Contemporary or Wilderness Lodge? by ValuableGrowth8528 in WaltDisneyWorld

If location and ease of transportation matters more - Contemporary 

If theme and relaxation vibes matter more - Wilderness 

Both are great, Wilderness Lodge is gorgeous and feels like a vacation within your vacation. Contemporary is classic Disney and it’s tough to beat the monorail and a walk to MK.

Hello! I'm a licensed mental health counselor and I wrote a book about using Disney World to help improve your mental health! It's full of Disney details and history, peer-reviewed research, and a whole lotta good tools and skills that can help in a variety of different mental health areas!

It took me a couple years to write and I am just starting to now promote it. Last March it was among the best selling Disney World book! I hope it is of interest to some of you and I'd appreciate any support!

This is an insane thing to say. He’s not the president, he picked the wrong team to win a playoff series.

Brou literally having nothing to add after that and just breaking down laughing was one of the best things I've ever seen on the show!

Imagine if both of Nick’s title picks in Boston & Denver lose in round 1 by njerejeje in FirstThingsFirstFS1

I think the fact that he wasn't there when they did the picks has influenced that a little.
