For the past eight years, the Tropical Imports snack stand has operated beneath this South Seas Traders sign (the shop that had been there for 33 years).

Before the scourge of the modern umbrellas, we have this exceedingly rare view, ca. 1956, of "Photos In One Minute" smack dab in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle.
(Joke's on them—I can take photos in as little as 1/8000th of a second!)

On the desert theme, about 15 years ago I read about Rice Valley described in a wilderness guide: "If you are in need of a little isolation and desolation, then Rice Valley may be the place for you." Went there on a winter solstice and found it as advertised.

Do we know how many times Walt Disney rode a horse at Disneyland? Seen here with Fess Parker in the 1955 Thanksgiving Day parade opening the Mickey Mouse Club Circus.

You may already know this, but Kevin hand-lettered the Parkendium logo! I told him I wanted it to look like something that would be at home on an old leather-bound reference work.
So far it's just been applied to 100,000+ digital objects, but one day...

This post is like its own Preview of Coming Attractions for Tom’s Walt Disney Family Museum presentation in February.
It’s International Street, originally planned to parallel Main Street U.S.A. 3D photos were taken of the model which could be viewed through windows in Town Square. Scollard Maas was a film art director-turned-interior designer who eventually worked for Welton Becket doing the international Hiltons.
