Title: Photos from before the resort was built?
Post by: Javey74 on April 29, 2009, 12:48:21 AM
I was wondering if any members had any photo's or weblinks that shows the actual land where the DLRP's Magic Kingdom and Hotels were built on.  :?:

It's just I'm trying to build a picture of the land as it was just before Euro Disney SCA bought it, just before the start of the development.  It's a shame they don't done archive files on Google Earth..  :wink:  :)

I don't have any, but would imagine there aren't many, as the one I saw (with imagineers looking round and inspecting) was very non discript flat farm type land. Nothing at all that stood out to make you realize they were anywhere but a random field.

The Disney Magazine once featured a nice photo of Mickey and Minnie walking through the muddy landscape long before construction began.  I'll have a look for it.

Am I right in saying that some of the trees at the back of Frontierland were already there before the park was built? I'm sure I've heard it somewhere. :-"

You would have loved the old Donald Duck parade that they had years and years ago; it was literally Donald walking the parade route, followed by hundreds and hundreds of real ducks and a soundtrack of quacks :P

I just said something very silly. You see, I made that last post without watching the video. I thought Javey was talking about another shot that is often used by the resort, but in fact, he was talking about the parade itself :oops:

My bad guys, it's getting late :roll:  :lol:

Wow the video was so breathtaking!
but i missed some events, like the Disney's worldparade for instance (or how it was called). Maybe you remember it. It was in 2000 i think and there were huge wagons, each with mickey or donald disguised as one continent :)

It was called Disney's ImagiNations Parade, and ran for one year in 2000 :ears:
