Old-School Fantasyland was Flat, Graphic, and Inspiring
I’m not saying Disney should be doing this now, but the original Fantasyland facades were a great example of a low budget project still looking great because it was well designed visually. I don’t have a conscious memory of seeing Disneyland this way when I visited in the late 70’s/early 80’s, but I’m sure it left a subconscious impression on my developing aesthetic sensibilities, that and Wilton cake decorating catalogs. I stole these pictures from http://matterhorn1959.blogspot.com by the way.
