Home. Home, home, home! Via aswingingwake:

The facades of the Mansions have gotten progressively more sinister-looking because when the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland opened, they were flooded with letters saying, “I took my son into a beautiful Southern mansion and we had the bejesus scared out of us!”

Did you know? That the Disney villains almost had their way? Disney for a short period of time was looking into building an entirely new theme park in its Walt Disney World Property that would be built and centered around the Disney villains. The Theme park also known as Dark Kingdom would feature Maleficent’s castle as the centerpiece to the park and feature rides and attractions based of the various Disney villains and their lore.

WHY THE FUCK DIDN’T THEY DO THAT?  THEY SHOULD TOTALLY DO IT.  I’D PAY SHITLOADS OF MONEY TO GO THERE.

I think because they bought Marvel and have the deal to do the Avatar area of Animal Kingdom.

So we’ll get this in, like… fifty years. Maybe. The Disney properties in Asia will probably get it first? I’d bet.

The first Disneyland admission ticket ever sold.

It was purchased by Roy O. Disney, Walt Disney’s older brother, for $1 in 1955.

Fantastic shot of Space Mountain at its premier. Note the lack of the Tomorrowland Arcade, and the entrance pylon.

The Tomorrowland arcade was added in 1994, and obstructed the view “up” at the mountain as guests approached. The entrance pylon and marquee had a rocket with astronauts added at the last minute in 1975, as WED desired a visual example of what the ride experience would be like for guests.

random thoughts:

• i went to the library yesterday to pick up a hold and didn’t mean to check anything out but then there were audiobooks of all three henry vi’s with david tennant as henry vi.  and also a collection of f scott’s essays.  so.  that happened.
• listened to most of 1 henry vi last night (not act v yet, but the rest of it) and actually i really liked it?? i know some people think it’s shakespeare’s weakest play but it has dukes and bishops who bicker like children and an a++ french countess and JOAN OF ARC
• talbot and salisbury is the fastest i have ever gone from ‘shipping it’ to ‘crying about it’ because oh my god they are precious and then SALISBURY DIES and talbot spends the next act and a half being really sad about it
• TALBOT IN GENERAL IS GREAT, in a very gawain sort of way.
• all of the france scenes actually are great in a gawain sort of way
• henry vi has no idea how to king but he’s trying really hard and if henry v did the same things they probably would have worked, kingship
• henry v isn’t in this at all but they talk about him so much that he might as well be
• charles’ sudden falling in love with joan of arc is great
• charles overall is great, you go french king
• moving on
• disneyworld is terrifying
• it has an underground tunnel system so that a cowboy from like adventureland won’t show up in tomorrowland because obviously that would be the literal worst
• and there are twenty-three disney resorts in orlando
• 
• nope
• also baudrillard says really good things about disneyworld
• olla is a thing

They actually built the tunnels and then piled up the dirt around them so Cinderella Castle would be the highest elevation in the area (plus it was build on a swamp), I find that endlessly fascinating. 

Also they’re really careful with staff (I forget what the term is [edit: I think it’s “cast members”]) so, like, Pirates staff won’t end up in Haunted Mansion (even though they’re both New Orleans Square) but SOMETIMES THEY ARE THE SHITTIEST WITH CHARACTER PLACEMENT, thanks Eisner. 

Also if we’re talking about terrifying Disney World resorts we need to mention
