"As it grows, Celebration is feeling the same pressures older towns do. Now some residents, the 'Celebration Patriots,' are fighting Disney's plan to add more hotel rooms.. something uncharacteristically messy and un-Disneylike is brewing along the narrow avenues lined with adolescent oaks and sycamores. A growing number of residents are in open revolt against a Disney plan to add 1,000 hotel rooms to the town's official master plan."
