Main Street, USA- Disneyland

Main Street will always be one of my favorite lands of Disneyland. One can truly feel Walt's presence when strolling down this romanticized recreation of his hometown, Marceline, Missouri. The windows act as the opening credits for the park, giving the talented artists , designers and managers of Disneyland the credit that they truly deserve. My personal favorite window is the one belonging to Dick Nunis, former head of Disney Parks and Resorts. It says that he specializes in wave machines, which is an uncharacteristically snarky reference to Nunis' failed attempt at having a wave machine put on the bottom of the Seven Seas Lagoon in Florida to create real, surf able waves for the guests. It failed, and the rusted parts remain to this day. While each of the windows allude to the person's contribution to Disney parks, none of the windows are nearly as funny as Mr. Nunis'. And I have no sarcastic comment for that. Darn.
