Great article but way too short. Could have read much more for sure. Will have to check out the book.
Disneyland has been undergoing endless improvement. My parents visited there in the 1950s and it's fun looking at the photos and seeing how primitive it looked then.

They could also provide a larger image of that sketch. I can make out the larger features but it would be nice to compare it against what was actually built.
Side note: that castle looks a whole bunch like Hogwarts, or more accurately Hogwarts looks a whole lot like the original idea for Sleeping Beauty Castle.
