Grand Disney Resort: A conclusion

Image
  In conclusion to this blog, I thank the readers for viewing this and hope they had as much fun reading it as I did making it. Like I said, I have no intention in making it real, but if I could, I wish I could just snap my fingers and make it all appear. I'm sure this would be an amazing place, and despite a few bumps that can be easily worked out I hope, we can make this the grandest Disney Resort of all. Thanks once again, make sure to comment on the posts, and see ya real soon.

This will show you a whole new side of things that are impressive and entertaining, and it will push what you think you know to the limits. Areas to explore: Port Orleans Magic Highlands Star Wars: Spaceport Amazon Delta Avengers World Progress City Chinese Bay Volcanic Isle Out of all of the parks, this was the hardest one to come up with. It was originally Disney Spires, but it did not feel original, so I changed it. Someone else had already made a Disney Spires online. However, my next idea was to travel the world with a Disney twist, but that didn't go well. I eventually just made a third Magic Kingdom-style park in the Grand Disney Resort (Disney Studios isn't a Magic Kingdom-style Park). I just hope I do well enough on this. I kept making changes and even re-did the entire map layout. Luc...
