@GoAwayGreen When I worked on the Gran Fiesta Tour rehab in '07, I was amazed that Imagineers sourced simple light fixtures and other set dressings directly from Mexico. I think this kind of authenticity has been around for a while, just not publicly advertised.
@TangleNews you may want to go back and re-listen to the audio recording of the DeSantis social studies podcast around four minutes and 55 seconds. Unfortunately, what was written as domestic service was recorded as domestic violence.
How did I get to Traditions? I followed this hand drawn map to the Center Building (renamed Disney University shortly after). Also interesting how it’s called Orientation on the map instead of Traditions. 🤷🏻♂️
@LBVHistory I found my original Traditions packet from 1989, a Disney MGM welcome binder with some amazing information, a bunch of old park maps and other stuff. I’d like to donate it so others can see, if you think it’s unique enough. What’s the best way to preserve these?
@WaxWasps Could there just be more foot traffic in those areas vs. cars in others? In upscale areas, *if* people were walking they’d probably do the same.
