Gastons Tavern Bob Iger Reference?

[COProgressFan]

It's usually someone's name used cleverly (e.g. a business name or their name on a tombstone). A portrait of Phil is just a whole different level...

Exactly.

For a man who has headed up the park as long as he has, Holmes' portrait sure is lacking in items added to represent his "achievements."

Better than the ridiculous painting of Lord Holmes.

It's ridiculous that Imagineer's aren't allowed to signature their work, but then renaissance Holmes gets this!!! Sad really, all Holmes cares about is his teeth and the Haunted Mansion.

Not sure if this always happens for these higher ups, but for some reason it kind of makes me mad that they did this. With the state of the parks and lack of anything major happening, there might be bigger things to think about. I feel like either some "brown noser" thought this would be a good idea to get some brownie points, or Iger and Staggs actually thought this would be cute and they could put their mark on this area.

You don't see them putting their name all over stuff that is broken or that they let fall into disrepair.

Just to remind people this is still an enormous problem. Hell the printing press wheel in SSE has been down for over a year, but all we talk about is the Yeti.

To me it's really inappropriate. They didn't do anything like that for Eisner and at least he contributed both good and bad to the Walt Disney Company and especially WDW during his tenure.

 

[The Sorcerers Aprentice]

Yeah the Holmes portrait is really bad. It just looks so cheesy and fake.

Meanwhile, Tony Baxter's graffiti scarred portrait is sitting backstage....... somewhere.

Eisner and Walker don't have this sort of thing, do they?

There's a Wells tribute in the Matterhorn at DL. There's a crate that looks like it belongs to a mountain climber with the words "Wells Expedition" on it.

A nice tribute! Wells died of an accident during his time at Disney, so that is a good cause for a little tribute.

Trois Blondes....hmmmm...

Why they aren't meetable is a mystery.

 

[AngieYaz]

Another fun thing I noted was the Trois Blondes...the "three blonds".

Reference to these girls, I suspect.

Awww yeah! The first step!

Yes I see it. Kinda cool.
