Walt Kimball has 6 fingers. And they let you touch the Partners statue? WOW.
I assume those artwork are original cels?
Congrats on the 50th Anniversary Tiki Room pin. Yes, seems the Disneyphiles are going mad for that one. You'll make a bomb if you choose to sell it.
Yup, the partners statue is just sitting on the ground at the end of the plaza. The guides encouraged us to "lay hands" on it.
I don't think the artwork was cells, but a lot of concept art and artists sketches. For instance the Aladdin stuff was obviously not what actually made it into the movie. No way to really know what is original versus print. It was kind of the only part of the day we were allowed to take pictures, and I thought some of it was pretty neat.
How do you find out the value of a pin? I told DW that if I cared enough about it, I could probably find some pins at MOG that would help offset the cost of our trip, but I just couldn't be bothered to do the research. I doubt I will sell my PINs though.
How do you like the book after you've had a chance to read through it? We bought a copy of it from
Amazon a few weeks ago. We liked it so much, that we bought a second copy, where we plan to cut out a few pages and frame them for remodel of our downstairs bathroom. The only problem is that there are so many great candidates, that we haven't been able to narrow it down yet
I've read that one pretty much all the way through - it really is a beautiful book, a true "coffee table" book. They tried to get both the author's out to sign it, but the other one was out sick or something. She was very gracious to come over to sign the book for us. We actually bought a second copy for my wife's uncle, who is a fan of this kind of stuff.
We saw several of the posters being sold as prints at World Of Disney as well. I personally would hate to cut pages out of the book, but would try and order some prints.
First, the merchandise looks great. I went to Amazon to check out that poster book because that's totally up my alley. I have in my wish list for Christmas.
I don't know what's in there exactly but my mom is a lifelong employee of United (since early 1960's). Retired now..but she has several old vintage posters from the parks. They used to give them to the travel biz to display to increase bookings. They are very, very cool.....
That is cool! The Posters in the book are from all through the history, from original Disneyland posters to DLP and Tokyo DL up through and including the redo of DCA.
Second, you are not allowed to mock our pins in November.
We love them! Hahahaha!!!!
I would never mock your pins! Just don't encourage DD to want to collect them! We actually have a number of pins from this trip, because at ABD they give you a pin every day, plus we got two exclusive ABD from Mickey's of Glendale. I'll have to get pictures of them. Still refuse to get into pins.
Third, I would guess Golden Girls is there due to it being an incredibly successful show filed by Disney studios that had a long life on TV? I dunno.... not really sure I would put in "Legends" although I have always liked the show! Was there plaques for Mickey Mouse Club members? That would seem more 'fitting'.
Good update! Thanks for sharing!
Sure, Golden Girls was a Disney show, but to call them Disney Legends for that seemed a bit of a stretch to me. There were a few Moustekeers. I saw Annette Funnecello's plaque at one point, and I think there were a couple of others there with her - can't remember the names.
I think they probably like some name recognition in there, which is probably why the GG got it. I know this years set includes Billy Crystal and John Goodman - outside of plugging Monsters U - I don't think they rate as Disney Legends.
They'll be more brushes with Disney Legends throughout our trip, though!
