Props Upon Props

Hidden at the far end of the Walt Disney Studios, Paris, next to the Disney Blockbuster Cafe, is the Props' Warehouse of the Studios.

Of course, there are so many Props that some of them overflow into the Guest Areas of the Park. Such as this small area:

You can see this is where Props such as parking metres, gates, paving and statues are left, ready to be stored elsewhere. Maybe some blockbuster has just been filmed, and this is where the Props have been put aside!

Enjoying a Moment...At the Boardwalk

We've not taken a moment out in a Disney Theme Park for several weeks, so today we're going to head over to the Boardwalk Resort area in Walt Disney World. Imagine a world just choc-full of colour!

Looking Up In Toontown, Japan Style

Jumping across the waters again, we head to Toontown in Tokyo Disneyland. Do you remember that DF'82 always wants you to look up? Well, let's do just that...

Where in Toontown would a building topper like this be situated? We have already seen Chip and Dale's place, Donald's place and Goofy's home. Maybe this is Mickey Mouse's residence? No, I'm sure he wouldn't put fireworks on top like that!

Of course, it's Toontown City Hall! At least we will always be able to tell the time :).

Building of Dwarfs

When you visit the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California, there is one building that will not go unnoticed. And one of the most infamous buildings in Disney History.


The Michael D.Eisner Building (Team Disney) was completed in 1990, currently houses the boardroom for the Directors of the Walt Disney Company and Bob Iger's (CEO) offices, as well as several other persons of high importance within the Company.

The building was designed by the architect Michael Graves, who also created the Swan and Dolphin Resorts in Walt Disney World and Disney's Hotel New York in Disneyland Paris. It is iconic in the sense that the building's roof is 'held up' by the Seven Dwarfs, from the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs film. Interestingly enough, the film, which was Walt Disney's first feature length animation, provided the Studios with the revenue to buy the Burbank Lot where the Michael D. Eisner Building currently stands.

Originally named the Team Disney Building, it was re-dedicated as the Michael D.Eisner Team Disney building in 2006 to celebrate Eisner's 21-year leadership of the Walt Disney Company.

Details Sideways

After passing the Welcome to Frontierland plaque, and truly entering Thunder Mesa, you will see this piece of decoration 'sticking out' from the building, sideways.

Cast your mind back several weeks and you may recognise this decoration as part of Fuente Del Oro!

A Frontier Welcome

Frontierland in Disneyland Paris has a small nod of welcome to the area, in the form of a plaque. And if you're a regular to DF'82, you will know just how much this Princess adores plaques and signs from the Disney Theme Parks!

Often overlooked by many guests, the plaque reads as follows (in English, and French):

The frontier of the Far West

was a rugged landscape

of great expectations and grand illusions,

where dreams rode wild,

and simple lives became legends.

As you pass through these gates,

follow the footsteps of the pioneers...

and dream.
