Disneyland History: Got a Question/Get an Answer

[MK-fan]

Hello, I’m sure many of you on this forum are big fans of Disneyland’s history. Seventy years strong with quite the resume of attractions current and former. I have a great knowledge and passion for vintage Disneyland and the amazing history of the park.

I would like to start this thread so that if anybody were curious about any aspect of the park’s history, they can ask it here and the Disneyland history brainiacs on this forum can answer it for them.

I would like to start with a question of my own. In Disneyland’s early years, there were a couple of stores that had exhibits within them. Normally an exhibit at Disneyland would be labeled as an attraction but due to it being a business as well, it was not labeled as such.
Of the ones I’m aware of, I can only name the Upjon Pharmacy, the Kodak store and the American Dairy Association in Tomorrowland. These all were businesses not owned by Disney and had little exhibits within them.

Are there any more?

I can see it now, someone’s young hormonal son asking his parents if they can go to the bra exhibit lol.

If Hubby Is Shy, Watch Him
At Main Street Corset Shop

Is the modern male embarrassed about walking into a corseteria? No he isn’t—or at least, not as “shocked” as his father would have been, according to the Hollywood Maxwell Company, operators of a corset and bra shop on Disneyland’s Main Street.
Surprising as it may seem to some, it’s the teenagers who are most affected by the exhibit of old and new in corsets, bras, and petticoats. The younger sets’ reaction is usually one of giggles as they look at the small models in various stages of dress. "...
