I’ve seen it. I think it’s either on YouTube or on one of the D23 web pages. It was at one of the Destination D23 panels.

Yeah, why not? This spot is a twofer, turn around and you’d be looking at the back of Robert Dorris Boatbuilders, where the first Canal Boats were made and, later, the Motorboat Cruise vessels. The building in the background is still there.

My source is “The Pre-Opening Report from Disneyland” (1955) and it was an experiment to see how much AI could de-grain the original screencap before it looked fake. This was an example of “too far.” No actual film negatives were harmed in the making of this image.

But they never made a pin that included “Almost Butt-Naked Guy.”

There was one in Burbank, CA, too. But not for long.

Sorry, I had one unused coupon to apply that stupid joke with and I needed to get rid of it.

Willows are fast growing and invasive, their root systems will pop out the surrounding hardscape as they seek a direct source of water. 10 year swap-outs in this location wouldn’t be surprising.

I’m curious about that tree in the foreground, but also the one in the background that might be the corral tree relocated from Tahitian Terrace in ‘62.

It was an Evergreen Elm, as spec’d by Ruth Shellhorn.

At the time it was the WED House, I’m sure photos are rare, but you can get a very good tour of it online, as it was 12 years ago when it went up for sale.
