> [@adam yax](#): > > In Dallas there is an area with streets named after things Disney. Interesting, since right next to Disney there’s a [Hobbit Circle](http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&country=US&addtohistory=&searchtab=home&address=&city=orlando&state=fl&zipcode=). On Preview – I can’t get the mapquest link to work, but its on non-WDW property next to Eagle Pines golf course. ---

Just FYI to the OP - > [@William V.](#): > > I did NOT put in a hotlink to the phrase “something else” in my posting above. It automatically appeared - now that’s a little creepy. You may have spyware on your computer. The fine folks here can direct you to antispyware programs. Orange County has a **Shadowfax Lane** in Lake Fascist…I mean, Fake Forest…sorry, _Lake Forest_. :rolleyes: ---
