Okay Wombat, I think you are getting obsessed. The avatar is the final straw. After you get done doing the world, and then doing Disneyland and the files are in my possession, you will need to step away from the keyboard.

Keep up the good work my friend!

Wombat - that is amazing! I can see where this could take you years to complete. Just don't let it interfere with taking a real trip to WDW rather than just a virtual one.

Maybe Wombat needs some research trips and I am sure he would need some helpers like me as secretary and Whazzup as photographer. Purpura could come and give him CM insider tips and CBeiley could be the luggage schlepper.

Wombat you are doing a find job and please keep it up.

ADD time.

ooh a smiley ;)

Spoken like a true fellow Disney fanatic! I appreciate both your deep concern for my mental health, and how it's tempered by your own self-interest. :p: :D:

Not trying -- but I wouldn't be opposed if someone offered... (Kind of like an actor in local theater hoping there's a Hollywood movie talent scout in the audience, maybe John Lasseter will just happen to be browsing through this board...)

But then I'd have to contend with the wrath of my older son, who is already aiming to become the first Imagineer in the family.

Actually all that you see I've done in just over a month. It may very well be the type of project that I'm always "improving" on, but I'm pretty close to being satisfied with it as it is!

As for this taking the place of the real thing -- that's not too likely! :D:

I'm all for that -- as long as we can find a sponsor to pay our way!!!! (Paging John Lasseter again...)

Thanks for all the kind comments!!! I'll take you all on a (video) ride on my choo-choos soon!

I love how 4/5 of the cars seem to be beige or white Chevy Classic's (I would say Chevy Malibus, but they're all rentals, and apparently any Malibu that is sold to a rental fleet becomes a Classic ... why, I'm not sure, since there's absolutely nothing classic about the car they call a Malibu now)

You're really not supposed to look that closely... :D:
