I'd say somewhere between the size of Screamin' and Peril. The concept art below for Disney's America has it basically as a big rectangle, but my version would not be the case. I'd go more off of the factory concept art shown in my overview post on Page 2 for gauging its size. I can't make...

Liberty Street “Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision.” - Ayn Rand Despite the blessing of size, the first few decades at Disneyland saw new additions that packed the Park to its gills. As it had no precedent...

1. Forced Perspective has always been a part of Main Street with or without Light Magic, it has been since 1955! 2. The Emporium windows switch out over time, those were just what I mentioned in the current overview. But yes, they would be animated like the Magic Windows. 3. Yes, I will right...

The Mad Hatter and Walt’s Hobbies round out the Town Square amenities, whether we’re personalizing a set of Mickey Mouse Ears at The Mad Hatter, or admiring the collection of model trains, planes, miniatures, and other related hobbies at Walt’s Hobbies, where we also find an HO Scale model...

It makes a big difference. When you consider Animal Kingdom is 580 acres, that means you could fit the entire real-life DLR into Animal Kingdom.

“HERE YOU LEAVE TODAY AND ENTER THE WORLD OF YESTERDAY, TOMORROW AND FANTASY” Since 1955, Attraction Posters have been the critical means of communication between Disneyland and its visitors. Eye-catching, enticing build-ups for the action and adventure ahead, means of continuous and exciting...

More Main Street coming this Saturday or Sunday, maybe even Friday! And yes, you're pretty close to accurate with the Disneyland Railroad assessment. Maybe not 100%, but close. And there'll be a lot more to see than what I had even outlined above. The Ice Age does come placement-wise before...

Main Street, U.S.A. “Many of us fondly remember our small hometown and its friendly way of life at the turn of the century. To me, this era represents an important part of our nation’s heritage. On Main Street we have endeavored to recapture those by-gone days.” - Walt Disney Walt’s...

Next update (Main Street, or at least the beginning of Main Street) should be coming, I'm hoping, no later than Easter Sunday. I'm going to strive to do one update a week moving forward. That's my goal! I did start a new job this week, and today being my first day off has been much more tiring...

I hadn't thought about that. Because they are separate companies in this universe and only have a partnership on the one theme park in California, there is a rule in place in their in-universe contract that Universal characters are not allowed to appear outside the gates of Disney-Universal...

Thank you! I always found inspiration in the many retrospective books about Disneyland and WDW that have been released over the years, typically for anniversary milestones. I always felt that something should and could be done with armchair Imagineering projects like this. KingMickey was the...

Sorry, guys, OCD really got the better of me on this one, it took way longer than expected. And for such a boring area of the project, too! Haha. :p I ended up having a lot of fun with this, taking inspiration from Walt Disney's EPCOT pitch film. *** The Disneyland Resort “The important...

Thanks! Should be coming out tonight.

To clear up any confusion, real-life DLR is roughly 500 acres (not including any future plans they have for expansion with Disneyland Forward), and Mirror DLR is 5,000. This is logistically impossible in our real world when considering the size of Anaheim, but nevertheless, it doesn't matter in...

All your questions and more will be answered in due time. ;) Next walk-through will be posted within the next day or two!
