Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

There is currently an exhibit of the early concept drawings shown adjacent to Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln area on Main Street in Disneyland. They are simply beautiful. I can only imagine how enchanted those early visitors were,never seeing anything like it before.
I feel terrible for those who because of the crowds and the stress of trying to pack in all of the attractions, never really LOOK at how wonderful a place it is.

I remember someone once posted links to video of time-lapse building in Main Street U.S.A.. I wonder if visitors are being shown that footage, especially of Walt bicycling through the streets.
