Here’s one that’s slightly more clear.

Not that I’m aware of.

Incoming!

Meanwhile, on that other site, this happened. OP Alea must have found that shot online somewhere and didn’t know who the subject in the photo was, but she was right about the flex.

You wouldn’t ever know it was flooded. Amazing.

Beautiful region!

You mean you haven’t been to Bushmiller Land?

Yes. Many of my co-workers had bank accounts there.

It’s really well-researched and I’m happy to report I learned a lot!

His book is great, read it and you won’t miss anything!

The hotel I’m occupying in Asheville, North Carolina, uses antlers in all of their decorating.

Don’t forget this one, either.

So far, no one has commented on the third photo.

Update: Now I remember something. The exclamation point was probably suggested (correctly) by our English-to-French translation writer bc the expression in French is something like, “My how the world is small!” So it would seem dead without the “!” Help me out, French speakers!

Yes, but my hair wasn’t actually black, it was dark brown. Don’t know why it came out so dark (but only my hairdresser knows for sure).

Yes, I wanted it to look iridescent but the technology wasn’t quite there yet. Now it is!

When Dis-nerds meet!

Glad that’s not a spider egg!

I was 27 when I designed the Star Tours facade on the right.

I’m not sure the second voice is Tufeld’s. It sounds to me like the narrator of the original Hall of Presidents preshow film, although I don’t know who that was. Tufeld sounded almost exactly like Wesson, and did most of the Disney movie ads (as well as the robot in Lost in Space).

I think it was intended primarily for prospective investors, partners, sponsors, etc, but they showed it to CM’s, too.

Epic. I saw this as a young high school age
Disneyland cast member and it is partly what swayed me into joining Imagineering.

But the question really is, how close to reality was Roger Hayward’s speculation? Did he get some of it right?

There’s a mystery surrounding whether or not this 6’ dia moon model wound up at the Griffith Observatory and whether it was also used for the subsequent Man and the Moon episode for Disney’s weekly TV show. Documents tracing its whereabouts show conflicting information…

These photos, plucked from Oregon State University’s webpage on Hayward, misidentify the year and the project depicted as the 36’ dia moon model created for Griffith Park Observatory in 1934. In fact, these are official Disney Studios publicity photos taken in 1955 promoting the Rocket to the Moon…

What little lunar knowledge I have I probably picked up from Disney. One of the first scientists to speculate what the dark side of the moon looked like was Renaissance man Roger Hayward, shown here on the left directing the sculpting of the Moon for Disneyland’s Rocket to the Moon ride…

Rehearsal was earlier in the day.

The rehearsal.

And when you reach the end, STOP.
