   Welcome to Episode 13 of the VF PodCast Forum, with your host, Gil Imber "CA Screamin Dude." As promised, we're going to take a look at the Disneyland Resort expansion era. We're going to take a very scientific approach, we're going to use Environmental Psychology to explain the shortcomings or good points about the Disneyland Resort expansion. What worked, and what didn't, all explained using Environmental Psychology and principles that can be found in such a program. Throughout the PodCast, I will refer to images to illustrate my points. These images appear below. Let's begin! You can scroll to the very bottom of this page to see a list of terminology used during this podcast episode.
