• Parents on the Maharaja's Trail can't be bothered talking to their kids about the animals, making up things like "It's a bear" for the tamal to get the kids to move on. Why bother coming if you're not going to do the park right? What do they do in Small World, identify all countries as "Not America"?

• How about the idiots who block entry ways to attractions and lines as they decide what to do or other things they should take to the side so you can get by?

• How about rude behavior like jamming up the bathrooms or dropping tp and towels on the floor saying "They have people to clean up this stuff"?

• How about a woman who brings her daughter's friend – the parents of this child misjudged how much money she'd need and the woman says to her daughter, "Well, this will be the only souvenir you get because (friend's name) doesn't have enough money and I have to cover her too. So this is it for you!"

Must-do list:

Souvenirs:

Downtown Disney:

• Upper scale. It needs to be to pay for what it must have.

• Futuristic, cutting edge. The theming must be sophisticated, elegent, like the other top of the line hotels at WDW, and done in a stylized theme such as MK's Tomorrowland so you don't need to do a ton of updates to keep it looking sharp and progressive.

• Why futuristic? A number of reasons:
  • Walt Disney loved progress. Much of his parks are dedicated to it.

  • At last, a version of Walt Disney's city that he planned for Epcot.

  • Epcot itself with Innoventions and more is meant to look at the future.

  • WDW is always trying to do something cutting edge, be a leader in an industry such as theme parks, animal parks, and transportation. This hotel would take it to the leading edge in hotel guest's services and comfort.

  • The People Mover would be used to move guests from buildings to different areas around its area, perhaps even to parks. It could even be built close to a park – like Boardwalk is to Epcot – so guests can easily go in by foot or People Mover.

• Guest rooms offer such features as:
  • set the shower to your perfect temperature and tell the computer to save it. Have a separate setting for everyone staying in your room. For example, I like my showers hotter than John does.

  • Save lighting settings the way you want. 1) a saved setting for how you want it to look when you enter the room 2) when you come back from the park, 3) when you're relaxing with tv vs a book vs changing to go out etc.

  • Choose between rooms with windows and balconies, and rooms with screens that'll give you any view you want. Look out on Main St like you're staying in the castle; look out towards World Showcase or the lagoons, anywhere in WDW you want. Or how about anywhere in the world? Paris, Hawaii, London, New York, we have virtual views that will make it look like you're there.

  • Voice activated phone with speakers in all areas of your hotel room. Why pick up a phone with a chord that chains you to the desk, looking up what numbers you have to call? As you dash around, you call out to the air, "Phone, call Epcot, Le Cellier. Yes, I'd like to make priority seating for 3. Phone, End Call."

• I have a bunch more ideas but you see what I mean.

• One building will be pet friendly because it's my hotel and my pets get to come. Guests must follow the same rules they do in Fort Wilderness and outside pet friendly hotels. If not, they're out!

• From what I hear, people are looking for a non-child hotel. If that's true, one building will be that with its own entrance, check-in, restaurant, pools etc.

Wrap up:

We leave the next morning, on time and with a long trip ahead of us. At 9:40am, I turned the power off of Pal Mickey.

I'm not doing a trip home report because we're not headed home. We're going to a wedding and won't get home for a few days. The best thing about getting home was a certain piece of mail waiting for us.

For annual passholders: a preview weekend of Mission Space...

Hmmm...
