Cute bickering couple 😁
Here’s a precursor to the Swan Hotel at Disney World.
Source details and larger version.
It’s building: my modest collection of unusual vintage architecture.
New Tournament - Extinct Disney Parks Attractions
Following the success of the Disney Parks Characters and Disney Parks Snacks competitions, I’ve decided to host another - to find our Tumblr’s favourite extinct Disney Parks attraction! Nominate your favourite extinct attraction or experience below:
Rules:
- Nominated attractions or experiences must be from Disney Parks. That means no DisneyQuest, River Country, or Discovery Island
- However, nominated attractions or experiences can be from anywhere in the world - Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World, Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland, or Shanghai Disneyland
- Yes, fireworks count as an extinct attraction or experience, as do front of castle stage shows and character meet and greets
- As do attractions and lands that, for all intents and purposes are still standing, but are now something else, i.e. Journey Into Imagination in EPCOT that is now Journey Into Imagination with Figment, or Avengers Campus in California Adventure that used to be A Bug’s Land
- You can nominate as many extinct attractions as you want, but please, only one per form. Also please refrain from nominating the same attraction more than once, that is frowned upon
- Due to the controversial nature of Splash Mountain, I will not be including it in this competition
- Nominations will be open until August 26th
Background art for Cinderella (1950) from the Walt Disney Animation Research Library
“Cinderella’s background paintings remind me of grand stage sets for a Viennese Operetta by Johann Strauss. Everything is exaggerated in order to enhance a dreamlike, sentimental mood. The movie was made on a shoestring budget, yet its visual presentation is opulent and luscious. You combine that with rich storytelling, and you get a classic for the ages.” - Andreas Deja
