The 2024 @LBVHistory holiday ornament is now available as a gift for your $25 donation. This is inspired by the original sign that greeted campers at the resort’s open and one that still hangs at the Settlement Outpost.

My understanding is the real problem with the bear in the Magic Kingdom was that he started his day in Epcot and was not supposed to park hop until 1 p.m.

It’s been interesting watching all of the bits of traditional amusement parks/tourist spot being stripped out of the Magic Kingdom. Things you could watch. Candy making. A working bakery. Portrait drawing. Candle making. The Penny Arcade. Unique shops. Now the shooting gallery.

Honestly, the most amazing thing to me is that the company keeps focusing on spending millions of dollars to retheme attractions that have respectable attendance but not to expand capacity or find a use for buildings that sit empty.

If you go to Tom Sawyer Island now, since it’s closing, try I to put yourself in the mindset of a 6-7 year old. Barrel bridges, the sounds of bats in caves, glowing treasure that makes weird noises - that’s what TSI was made for. Adulting adults won’t get it.

I think “the Disney difference” at Disney’s theme parks was never “stories” or “characters.” It was quality. Everyone rallied to give the guest the best of everything: attractions, design, music, entertainment, customer service, food, etc., within practical limits, of course.

I think it’s safe to say Richard M. Sherman’s work was one of the key pillars that defined the quality of what “Disney” “was;” its “tone of voice” in the late 20th Century. His sense of humor and fun, his made-up words, and his optimism, were all absolutely critical for success.
