A Fantasyland Basement


Travis Larson is a huge Disney fan. Because he lives so far away from Disneyland, he decided to bring some of the magic to his house. Travis custom built the Fantasyland facades of Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, Peter Pan’s Flight, Pinocchio’s Daring Journey, Snow White’s Scary Adventures, Geppetto’s Workshop, and the Village Haus Restaurant.

Travis began construction in 2008 to fill his 600 sq foot basement. After about 3-4 years at a cost of $5,000, we have its present-day appearance.
He even has day and night lighting with ride music and crowd noise.
Here are a bunch of photos of his basement and some of the works in progress.

Why Aren’t All of Them Disney Princesses? (updated 2023)

Image
Disney Princesses is a Walt Disney Company franchise, based on fictional characters that have been featured as part of the Disney character line-up. When Disney started the Princess Collection in 2001, these were the already-existing eight princesses that are still in the collection today: Snow White , Cinderella , Aurora , Ariel , Belle , Jasmine , Pocahontas , and Mulan . They weren’t the only ones in the original collection though. In the beginning, Tinker Bell, Esmeralda, Megara, Alice, and Jane Porter were all in the collection but were later removed as the guidelines for the princess requirements were refined. Tinker Bell left to start the Disney Fairies franchise. So, who is considered a Disney Princess in the eyes of Disney? This list is taken straight from Disney’s website www.Princess.Disney.com The official list consists only of these 13 princesses; 1.  Snow White      2.   Cinderella      3.  Aurora      4.   Ariel      5.   Belle 6

MOVIES: Jabba The Hutt Was A Human

Image
The original script to A New Hope describes Jabba as a "fat, slug-like creature with eyes on extended feelers and a huge ugly mouth", but Lucas stated in an interview that the initial character he had in mind was much furrier and resembled a Wookiee. When filming the scene between Han Solo and Jabba in 1976, Lucas employed Northern Irish actor Declan Mulholland to stand-in for Jabba the Hutt, wearing a shaggy brown costume. Lucas planned to replace Mulholland in post-production with a stop-motion creature. The scene was meant to connect Star Wars to Return of the Jedi and explain why Han Solo was imprisoned at the end of The Empire Strikes Back . Nevertheless, Lucas decided to leave the scene out of the final film on account of budget and time constraints and because he felt that it did not enhance the film's plot. The scene remained in the novelization, comic book, and radio adaptations of the film. When the film was re-released to theaters in 1997, George had the
