THE 1HAPPY HAUNT

WALT wanted the mansion to look prestine if he was alive when Disneyworld was built he would have implemented that rule there also and it would have been carried out for decades long after his death like it is at Disneyland and the mansion would never be in the condition that it is in florida and phantom manor would never look the way it does on the outside either.There is no point citing Walt outside of the context of Disneyland. Walt had one park and had long moved on when the Florida project came into being. It was a board mandate to add a Magic Kingdom/Disneyland. I hate ‘What would Walt do’... because he didn’t want to do 90% of things people and Disney credit towards him. He was loonnng dead. Including the entirety of modern WDW. Especially people’s beloved original Epcot Center, which completely craps all over what Walt had planned.
Even the Haunted Mansion was built with a sole context towards the needs and wants of New Orleans Square. Walt didn’t have ‘a vision’ of Florida’s Mansion.
It’s time we actually cite the what ____ would have wanted towards the original design leads of every park that isn’t Disneyland.
