They seem to just run on different speeds or something. More importantly, how would I incorporate Disneyland into this? What meanings do black, red, yellow and white have in the world of Feng Shui?

It looks pretty cool the way it is right now though so I don't know. I wonder how much a feng shui expert costs for a consult?

Bad energy tends to follow straight paths, and good energy likes to follow curved paths. I know you are supposed to avoid having straight things point at people, such as having seats in positions such that the corner of a wall is directed toward them. Spikey plants are bad because of the strait lines that fan out from them all over the place. The ideal location for a house is nestled between a dragon and a tiger (hill configurations). It's been a while since I've read up on it, but I think the dragon is supposed to be to the right when facing the front of the house. You also should not have a direct, clear path from your front door to the back door, as that allows good fortune to go straight through your house and out the back. Unfortunately, that exactly how my house is laid out - you can walk straight through the front door and out the sliding glass door. Note that it can be a good thing to have that straight path through the house if you have the bad judgment to build your house between the residence of a dragon and the water source he uses. The dragon can come through your front door and then can't get out, so he causes all kinds of trouble.
