More style can be had in this reversible Disney Bound. The first is a Wonderland theme. I made the mouse ear headband to match the skirt. And because the skirt is reversible, it can switch to get MORE looks. The black top is good for both versions. The skirt easily reverses to a Minnie Mouse theme to be paired with the Classic Mickey and Minnie ears that I made in honor of Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway.
The Alice in Wonderland attraction is exclusive to Disneyland Park, Anaheim. Based on the 1951 Disney animated feature film Alice in Wonderland, the attraction official opened June 14, 1958. Alice was originally intended to be a walk through attraction set to open with the park, but due to limited time and resources, the project was abandoned. This concept eventually made its way to Disneyland Paris and is still there today. Like many of the other Fantasyland attractions, Alice was a dark ride that relied painted scenery and flat-board characters. It was also unique in that it had an outdoor portion that brought you out in the sun and down a vine to the ground and back inside for the final scenes.
In 1982, the attraction closed for renovations and reopened April 1984 as part of the New Fantasyland. The ride got an entirely new finale scene on the bottom floor before guests went to the unloading area. Most of the scenes of the attraction received upgrades to revamp its look and feel. In 2010 the attraction closed suddenly. The vine ramp was deemed unsafe and needed to have safety rails installed. Simple rails were installed as a quick fix, but lasted 4 years. In 2014, the current version was revealed. The temporary railing was replaced with a more asthetically pleasing vine design. The exterior received a facelift and the interior had many digital effects added. Today, Alice still sits in Fantasyland, taking guests on a wild ride down the rabbit hole into an crazy wonderland. When It’s a Small World opened in Disneyland on May 28, 1966, Walt wanted to make a big show of it. Originally part of the New York World’s Fair, the attraction was moved and reassembled in the Fantasyland area of the park.
Children from around the world poured bottles of water from from the Thames, Seine, Amazon, Danube, Nile, Volga, Rhine, Caribbean, Mediterranean, Atlantic, Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, among others. The 15 bottles in total were poured to symbolize the coming together of the children of the world. Mary Blair’s Tomorrowland murals opened on July 2, 1967. Along with with new attractions like the PeopleMover and Adventures Thru Inner Space, two new murals were unveiled.
The north mural on the AT&T Circle-Vision 3D building (now Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters) shows children from different nations dancing and making music. Ribbons above their heads symbolize global communications. The south mural on the Adventure Thru Inner Space building (now Star Tours), is about energy, with nods to solar energy, wind energy, water power, and fire. Each of the murals was 54 feet in length and at least 15.5 feet tall. The murals welcomed you as you walked into Tomorrowland. The south mural lasted until 1986, when it was changed to a space them in preparation of Star Tours opening (1987). The north mural survived until 1997 a victim of the 1998 New Tomorrowland project. The lighthearted, colorful and playful designs showed the genius of Mary Blair. |
