    News Disneyland Resort Permits

    If you go back a few years, there were permits pulled for $360k in warehouse racking and $50-60k for the paint booth. I don't know if WDI has any presence there. My info is that it is all Entertainment Division, including the Art Department.

    Walt Disney – A Magical Life

    I don't know anyone who has physically seen the turntable, but I do know a CM who saw the auditorium through open doors a few months ago. They were walking past the north side and the doors to the exit lobby and into the theater were open. They could see that the stage and front half of the...

    News New Haunted Mansion Grounds Expansion, Retail Shop Coming to Disneyland Resort in 2024

    I wasn't aware that they had gone digital yet. But I do recall very specifically the hitchhiking ghosts being out of sync as long as it has been open, literally more than a dozen times. It's been a long time since I worked the attraction, but back in the day your lead notified the N.O...

    News Coco Boat Ride Coming to Disney California Adventure

    I think this is really clever. The marigold bridge was a very grand and inspiring visual. I can see real possibilities in what you describe. In my very preliminary thinking about this ride I hadn't even started considering the kinetic possibilities. Thanks for posting this.

    News Disneyland Resort Permits

    I don't need to guess. The guest bathrooms, accessible on the northwest corner of the building, are an interior space. The fact that they are not accessed from the interior of the theater or the backstage areas does not change the fact that, for the purposes of the permit, they are "inside" the...

    News Coco Boat Ride Coming to Disney California Adventure

    Thank you--of course I meant Disney Way. It's really bothersome for me that Disney monkeys with names. As for whatever it was that I got wrong on the land for SWGE (you seem to think that this is some colossal "gotcha"), it was an evolving situation. I couldn't grasp the enormity of what they...

    News Coco Boat Ride Coming to Disney California Adventure

    Well, at least at the west end using Magic Way DISNEY WAY is essential for both Coco and the future overpass. As to burying the power lines, I think that ship has sailed. I saw expansion diagrams for Westcot and DCA that indicated both sets of lines were buried. In the end they chose not to...

    News Coco Boat Ride Coming to Disney California Adventure

    Thanks for the kind words. I'm just a lifelong Disney nerd. This is the result of absorbing a lot of information over more than 50 years.

    News Coco Boat Ride Coming to Disney California Adventure

    I think we need to define some issues, terms, and outstanding questions. The route in yellow is classified as an extension of Disney Way, which runs on the north side of GardenWalk (formerly Freedman Way). It's unclear what claims/restrictions Anaheim may have on this "street". This Disney...

    News Coco Boat Ride Coming to Disney California Adventure

    But unless you factor in placement for the approach and overpass going over to the Disneyland Forward expansion, it's all academic. We're talking a major tangle at what is now the parade step-off gate between Incredicoaster/Emotional Whirlwind and Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta. I know Imagineering...

    Long live the Eastern Gateway or how I learned to love the Anaheim City Council after the election.

    Well played, Sir! Couldn't have said it better myself. (My favorite version of that meme is "It's only Naziism if it comes from Bavaria--otherwise it's just sparkling fascism.")

    That's the Esplanade. The hub is in front of the castle.

    EPCOT New Costumes for Voices of Liberty to debut soon at EPCOT

    Absolutely hideous. Why would they ever think of borrowing costumes from Toontown? Of the four generations of Voices of Liberty costumes, these are far and away the worst. The original opening day costumes were loosely based on a college project of mine from the US Bicentennial in 1976--each...

    News Disneyland Resort Permits

    Well said Sir. Apology unreservedly accepted. I think that's a very good representation of the building. Actually, most of my knowledge of the building dates from the mid-late '70s. I was hired at the old casting office, which was at the right (east) side of the building in this photo. My...

    News Disneyland Resort Permits

    I don't think so. The permit filings reference areas and details that include the larger portion inside the berm. It specifically references the costume issue windows on the ground floor. I saw these built in the '70s. And I believe that around half of that ground floor is still costuming for...
