Good to see that the extended construction time paid off. This is the 2nd best Disney park I've seen (TA is almost unbeatable in its 'Disney-ness').
Anyway, great work. Some spots are better than others, but I could probably just accredit that to my personal taste. Realism gets mixed review because it shows 'everything' -- even things most guests don't see (and probably don't want to see) like plain backsides, disillusionment of facades, etc, etc. But I prefer this approach because I like to think a park is one that could and would actually be built in real life. So as 'unsightly' as the plain sides are, they kind of make it look authentic from birds-eye view.
This isn't to say that I don't like the birds-eye approach to detailing (I'm all for it), but ground-level detailing is what most real parks do.
