13 - WOW changes coming

I didn't think I'd have much to write about but my wife just shared with me changes coming to Disney World.

Basically - Fantasyland is getting an overhaul where all the princesses will be getting their own little houses and villages and Dumbo is expanding big time.

Also, Toon Town will be gone and Star Tours will be getting a make-over and will now be the pod races. Now I have even more to look forward to.

Now - since I did not do it yesterday - I am going to do give 2 days worth of history
