    Staying in a Saratoga Springs villa in the Congress Park section with a lakefront Downtown Disney view means plenty of easy opportunities for some nice night long exposures and scenics of the Marketplace, Pleasure Island, and Downtown Disney area. ; So that's exactly what I did!

    This is actually the view from my room!:

    And just one daytime snap, taken in the early afternoon while walking over to the Marketplace bus stop to catch a bus to head to the parks:

    I like those a lot Justin, especially the one of Fultons. ; I have stayed in Congress Park a few times and it makes for a great walk over to Downtown Disney.

    Great job Justin! ; I love downtown at night. ; Great atmosphere. ; I saw that they are moving the Harley shop down by the balloon. ; I can't wait to see what it is all like when they are done with the change over to Hyperion Wharf.

    Thanks Guys. ; Yeah, Paul - it's definitely expanded. ; I didn't actually go IN the Lego store this time, but while passing by noticed how they expanded to more space. ; With McDonald's gone, they have more room.

    Not go in the LEGO store? :mad: ; I have to stop every time I walk by, probably the one toy I still buy that I also used as a child! :-*

    Well I do still have a box of Legos stored on the top shelves of my closet, next to my matchbox car collection...the only two toys I just couldn't bear to throw or give away!

    There are indeed WONDERFUL new Lego creations, as well as a store that is a LOT easier to walk through. ; It is more of a round shop inside now. ; Easier to maneuver, other than that nothing else looked "new"

    From what i recall, the new lego creations are disney related now. ; I believe one is prince phillip fighting the dragon and another is snow white kissing dopey on the forehead. ; Cant wait to see them in 124 more days.
