I love the site, especially with so many Tower of Terror sites vanishing to the winds it's nice to find one that is still frequented and updated. I would like to point out one little thing. The Tower at DCA wasn't designed to fit in with Buena Vista Street as the entrance was still Sunshine Plaza, with the giant "CALIFORNIA" letters out front. It was designed with the thought in mind that people who visit DCA and Disneyland can travel 30 minutes to LA and see buildings that are the inspiration for the tower as a whole. So they felt that an architectural redesign was in order to make it look as if it was ripped from the base of the Hollywood Hills and plopped into Anaheim. The theme still wonderfully fits with the DCA redesign that included Buena Vista Street, but that redesign was very early in development, if at all even thought up, when Tower was first conceived. They also moved the opening year up by about 10 years, when Pueblo Deco was becoming more and more common in LA and Hollywood. the Neo-Mediterranean theme for WDW's was right at home in the 1910's when it was built (in story), but faded in style in the 1920's as the height of Hollywood glitz and glamor came about and people wanted bright and elegant. Plus with both Tower's were designed with surroundings in mind, as you pointed out, that WDW's fits in style to the Moroccan exhibit in EPCOT and DCA's strangely fits from a few locations, including Bug's Land which had a minor story change to be the gardens of the Tower itself. (That was revealed to me during Cast Member training though it is unfortunate that there is no real hints to it being there other than the Tower rising high above the tall grasses and foliage.) Anyway keep up the excellent work!]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey!<br /> I love the site, especially with so many Tower of Terror sites vanishing to the winds it’s nice to find one that is still frequented and updated.
