The Disneyland Casting-Couch Gag

[Curious Constance]

Walt gave Lillian a petrified tree stump for their anniversary. What a romantic

I've often wondered if she just really liked really old, dead wood or if when she received it she was like "Gee thanks dear, let's keep it at Disneyland."

Leave Jessica alone- she isn't bad, she's just drawn that way!

She must have been a very unique person to have the ability to deal with Walt Disney's brain on an intimate level every day.

I bet it was no picnic.

But back to Hans original topic that is focused on stuff in the parks (from which I first strayed), I can't think of any other examples of obviously deliberate sexual innuendo or imagery actually deployed in the parks. Anyone?

There was a video called The Making of Me in Epcot. "Obviously deliberate sexual innuendo or imagery" is an understatement... its purpose was to educate youngsters about the magical process, and it did so rather bluntly.



You should really give the whole thing a watch. It's worth 15 minutes of your time.

But obviously this doesn't compare. I can't think of anything else like the Casting Couch sign either.

The Daily Beast has published a fascinating story about a rather risque sign that once appeared in HPB at DCA that jokingly referenced the infamous Hollywood "casting couch". No one seems to know when the sign was removed. Does anyone here remember it?

Please keep this discussion focused on the joke, as well as other puns at Disney Parks, and their appropriateness for Disneyland. This is not a topic to discuss rape culture in general, or sensitive issues unrelated to Disney Parks.

I own the "Philip A. Couch " Sign. It has been repaired to original specs by Superior Neon, the original manufacturer. How I got the sign and it's history is unusual at least

Would love to hear the story!
