So ironic that I am planning to stay at Saratoga this year and didn't know that was where the Villas of my childhood were located. I read all this trying to find out. I look forward to trying to recognize anything familiar, but it appears it will all be gone.

I wonder if the Disney Institute would have succeeded if done at a separate location from the parks. It seems like a really neat idea!

I think part of the issue with the new Saratoga buildings is that it appears all of the trees were torn out as well from the old villas land (which would make sense since the footprints of the old versus new buildings are totally different). I think Saratoga will "feel" very different in even ten years time when the new trees have grown some.

What a wonderful series! It's sad what has happened to LBV, but it's great to read and relive the history of the area. I have learned a lot from reading these posts.

I am looking forward to the final part of the series next week. Great job!

Hard to read this installment without feeling a bit sad. Nothing against DVC, I own at BWV & BLT, but to see that nearly everything was bulldozed for SSR seems so wasteful. I'm not always a fan of 'Out with the old in with the new' sometimes there is room for both. I loved the Lake Buena Vista area as a child & now as an adult, I would LOVE a more 'adult oriented' place to escape to during my WDW stay. Nothing against children either - I've got 3, anyway, another great post!
