Walt Disney World Carousel of Progress
So, do you guys want to cry with me over the poem on the back of my record cover?
His sunrises were golden and his sunsets purple
His fields were dancing green
His forests ferny brown
His skies crimson yellow
And his seas a deeper blue.
His dwarfs smiled
And their smiles were toothy
And funny
And white
And his witches crowed
But always lost
For evil never prevailed
In the Land of Disney.
He created Davy Crockett
Won awards for Mary Poppins
Backed a ball-park in Anaheim
And built a fairyland
Called Disneyland
Nearby
For those who needed better things
Than baseball.
His was a world of moonbeams
Sunshafts
And rainbows
Of princes and princesses
Of leprechauns
Wizards
Squirrels and fawns
Owls
Children
And laughter.
He was a poet and a painter
Whose words were the smiles of children
And whose canvas was the barren desert
Or universal unhappiness
Or uptightness
Or whatever you want to call it
And upon this canvas he sprinkled his stardust
Liberally.
First came Mickey
The Donald
And Pluto.
There was Pinocchio
And Cinderella
And Snow White
And the seven dwarfs.
There was Hayley
Daughter of millions
Rosebud of millions more
Who
Like Peter Pan before her
May never grow old;
And Julie
Who sang and danced
And will always be remembered
Not for My Fair Lady
Not for The Sound of Music
But for Mary Poppins;
There was Peggy
Who purred like a kitten
And Fred
MacMurray
Who bumbled his way to a fortune;
And here are the Trousdale Strings
With the Dawn Chorale
Soft and gentle
Like wind in a summer cornfield
Or rain in a summer forest;
Wild and wonderful dreams
And he built them tall and often.
So
Here are the songs
Which were not written by him
Which were not sung by him
But which belong
To him
Alone.
Here is
A candy-coloured cavern
Of dreams for dreamers
Hopes for hopers
And classless beauty
For everybody.
Disney is dead
We are told
But he’ll live on
Legends always do.
But that isn’t
Really
The point.
The point is
This:
Is Disney dead and will he ever die?
And the answer
Of course
Is
No.

Despite being newer than Disneyland, it’s often hard to find detailed photographs of certain areas from Walt Disney World’s first year, having opened in October 1971.
Thanks to FoxxFur’s latest article on Passport to Dreams Old & New, we now know what the trash cans looked like around Liberty Square, sourced from photos taken in November 1971.
Here you can see cream-colored cans with tan vertical stripes anchoring both sides of the bridge leading into the land. Very traditional look.

Who remembers this?!?
Two photos of Disneyland’s Matterhorn shot from the same perspective in the Hub, one from 1980 and the other taken 32 years later in 2012.
Where did all the trash cans go?
