Sadly, I keep trying to have a humanities experience at the various Disney Places...reflecting on the whys, hows, and wherefores. Few of the rides and attractions lend themselves to such things, but there were a few places where a bit of history breaks through...
 |
At the Steakhouse 55, two large rooms of great old Hollywood photos; Will
Rogers with a very young Walt; Rogers died in 1935 |
 |
| Remember how great...? |
 |
| Orson Welles and ...? |
 |
| At the Soarin' ride, one of scores of great old aviation scenes |
 |
At a small arcade, nearly lost on Main Street, six of the earliest
cartoons on continuous display; P was fascinated with these |
 |
And at another arcade, mostly a gift shoppe, some more historical exhibits of
interest... |
 |
| Helpful model of the original 1955 campus; a fraction of what is there now |
 |
Actually, there were rather few of us viewing the historical video; next time we're
in Middle California, in August, I plan to visit the Disney Family Museum at the
Presidio, where, I am told, all the history, and reflection, resides |
