@DisneyScoopGuy@DisneyScoopGuy Bertha was added to the Jungle Cruise along with the rest of the elephant bathing pool in 1962. And Bertha's effects and animation have been restored, they’re not new. That's how she "performed" for decades going back to the 1960s
@bioreconstruct It was a neon sign, not a billboard and it was placed to block the view of a large utility pole that loomed over the Disney Studio buildings when viewed from Hyperion Blvd
@HistoryAtDisney This concept art is from a proposed remodel of the Grand Canyon Concourse that would have covered up the Mary Blair ceramic tile murals. Also the 4th floor has been called the Grand Canyon Concourse since opening day in 1971.
@krismeetsworld The building is a scaled down replica of the Merchants Hall in Freiburg, Germany that features four statues of Habsburg emperors and kings.
@UncleWalt1971 This is FALSE. Walt and Roy rented a space in the back of the Holly Vermont Realty office on Kingswell Ave in 1923 as the first home of the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio.
@UncleWalt1971 This is FALSE. The monorail was never designed to travel through the center of the structure (there’s an elevator bank in the way) and it was always designed to be a separate structure so any vibrations from the train would not effect the hotel structure.
Honored to have helped develop the Special Edition #Disneyland 70th Anniversary commemorative guide maps.
Only available on July 17, 2025, they include a fold out map of Peter Ellenshaw’s unique 1954 aerial painting of Disneyland that Walt used on tv to introduce his Park.
@Cartarsauce That Mr Lincoln photo is actually in Walt’s real working office, which was the inspiration for the new show’s set. There are so many great reproductions of actual items from his working office… lots of details to discover!
@boss_angeles@boss_angeles Eddie- I believe both of your amazing images were accidentally reversed. I've flipped them below. Your upper floor image was taken looking north and your escalator photo was taken facing south.
