I called and called and tried and tried after that window closed to find out if there was any way I could buy that airship model. Decades later it finally went on sale on Disney Auctions on eBay....for a price so high that I was forced once again to hold on to a dream, as the reality was far out of reach. What a wonderful subject to share, David! Thanks!!

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I really liked teh windows too. For me, the Emporium was always an on the way out kind of thing, but we always managed to look at the windows on the way in. I think my faveroite would be the Fantasia 2000 windows. Those (Especailly the Rapsody in Blue one) were amasing. I also liked that they had teh music for each window playing around it.

Originally Posted By Mickeys Gal I remember when I was young, the very last thing we would do was to check out the windows as we left disneyland. My favorite was "Snow White" It was a great family tradition! Thanks for stirring the memories dave.

Originally Posted By velogirl It's funny, the "Rescuers" windows are the ones I remember most vividly too. I don't know why 'cause I really didn't run out to see the movie. Great article, David!
Originally Posted By xXxNIGHTMARExXx When I was young we used to go to Disneyland once a year, so I was always excited to see the windows for the newest movie. As soon as we walked through the gates, I headed for those windows...I loved them! The one I remember most is for Aladdin. I loved the lighting! I always wondered what they did with those models when they were done with them. They are so cool! Thanks for a great article! )
