I so thoroughly enjoyed reading this, that I will merely add to the previous compliments.. such an amazing bit of information.

As a closet IASW freak, I’m wondering if the pink above, blue below trick was added at some point. Since it seems to have been getting tweaked for years now. I swear it appeared flatter at one time to my pre-teen eyes, and one day suddenly popped more.

I also thought the flatter interior lighting of the original ride, back in its World’s Fair days, seems more in keeping with Mary’s style. And how about those product and character placements recently added?

Ok, just rambling, sorry. I do love this blog..

Thanks so much for that. A great remembrance.

I, too, am *always* surprised at the number of Imagineers who know little about Disney history. The place ain’t a museum, but a little perspective would help.

This has got to be my favorite post by you of all time, and I’ve been visiting your website for years… probably since 2000 (I remember reading the “Think Pink” page and laughing; albeit I was a bit young to be reading that).

As a young aspiring amusement park designer, I just want to thank-you for sharing your experiences. They’re both captivating and interesting.
