Walt's office gone from DHS

[Bairstow]

I feel like corporate is taking the WALT out of Disneyland and Disneyworld. I was hoping One Man's Dream would have been moved to Innovations.

Ironically, when Disneyland installed "The Walt Disney Story" they were also met with outrage.

Somebody in this thread might know- does any footage exist of the Buddy Ebsen "dancing man" machine actually operating?
Did the thing ever work?

I have wondered that myself ever since I saw the thing. It's kind of eerie as it is, with the dancer just standing there. But the cool part is that Walt himself built the theater that houses it. God knows where it'll end up now...

Well, that's because it replaced Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. Room should have been made for both.

Did that petition that was made on change.org even go far enough to stop the closure of One Man's Dream?

Currently just short of 11,000 signatures.

Who did you kill for that username?

Himself? Maybe it is really him!

A great part of the day for my family and I.

HS was always the second day of our trip, so after experiencing all the great things of Magic Kingdom on day one to stop by here and watch the movie made it more special...

Sad...

And they would have all of the Sega Disney games too, like World of Illusion and Mickey Mania!

well since it is a REPLICA of the office, and not the original anything in that room, i wonder why the museum asked for it back?

 

[dstrawn9889]

wonder if they are looking for the Key to the Kingdom?

Is that the case? I thought the desk, chair and cabinet were original.

They better not take away our old EPCOT Center memorabilia like the stuffed broccoli from Kitchen Kabaret!!!

Yeah, I was always under the impression that the office WAS the original. Could be mistaken, though.

 

[dstrawn9889]

grab a CM and ask that they call and find out...

So saddening, loved going there and seeing all the marvelous things he did. It gave me motivation to do something as great when I grew up. I guess all the motivation kids will have after it closes is.. Toy Story?

By the way, what was in this place before? An empty soundstage?

Maybe they made it from the original, and then the original is now missing!

It was part of the walk-through tour.

I guess this is what we can expect then all hail!

I always find that I don't take long enough to look at all of the exhibits in this walk through.... the start of the film usually rushes our group through the last half to 1/3 of the displays. The office on display was a nice touch for this attraction, and it will be missed for however long OMD remains open.

Just a reminder to all of us Disney Park goers... that this is a theme park, not a museum. Replacements, refurbs, and rip-outs are always an option and nothing is 100% sacred to its original design. (granted it is a museum housed in a theme park)

At the beginning of 2014, there were 7 rides and 9 shows.A year went by, the attractions closed, now there are only 5 rides and 7 shows. Note:That is counting one mans dream and VOTLM as attractions that are still open,not closed!
