I just got a rather interesting book called "The Imagineering Field Guide to the Magic Kingdom", and "propping" is referred to quite a bit.


If I am allowed to quote an excerpt from page 33 of the book, "...Prop Design gives the real sense of life to a space. The props tell us so much about when this is, who lives here, and what they do. A space without propping feels vacant and uninteresting. If we don't believe that anyone lives here, it's hard to feel caught up in their story."


Obviously the props are very important to creating the atmosphere. Show me examples of 'propping' at any of the Disney Parks. It's everywhere, so show me what you got! popcorn::

Great idea! Here's one of BTMRR taken from the train (wish the stupid bar weren't in the middle of the image, but I was trying to hold onto a 2yo while shooting pictures):

Another odd photo from the ToT. This was is in the elevator shaft. I took it when we got stopped for an extended period of time because they were having technical problems.

I just love the 'Corn Dog'. It is in the County Fair in Toontown as you enter the character meet and greet rooms.
