1. I love in the old Disney photos when there’s multiple people posing with the same characters.  You don’t get this so much any more since there’s so many planned meet & greats, but back in ye olden days characters sightings were much more rare and you had to take advantage of every chance you got.

  8. iamtwothousand: On October 1st 1971 the Polynesian Village (as it was known then) opened along with the Contemporary Resort and the Magic Kingdom. All six of my WDW vacations were spent at the Polynesian. As a 5 year old, this kitschy paradise blew my mind and my first impressions have always stayed with me; if I were forced to get a tattoo, my first choice would be a (very small!) reproduction of the tiki man mascot. I’ve also come to the realization that my color palette and design preferences tend to favor the South Seas and mid-century kitsch. Yes, folks, this is where my love of the Bauhaus typeface comes from.  This piece began as many wonky scribbles in a notebook as I tried to get the composition and perspective right. I wanted an army of certain elements (vintage illustration, whimsy, childlike enthusiasm, asymmetry) present in order to invoke some authenticity and that famous Disney magic but I didn’t want to merely rip off my influences; I wanted this to also look like mine. The elements I chose were based on my strong impressions from childhood and anecdotal consensus on what the resort’s “icons” are: the Great Ceremonial House, volcano pool, lush grounds, and beach hammocks by the lagoon. The Mark IV monorail, despite “belonging” more to the Contemporary, was added because it was imperative to include the tiki man and I thought it’d be cute to make him the driver. So, what do y’all think? Hau ‘oli la ho’omana’o hau to this crazy, wonderful place and mahalo for the hospitality!

About


Hi! My name is Amanda and I'm a twentysomething disney-a-holic. If being obsessed with Disney is wrong I don't think I want to be right.

I've been going to Walt Disney World since the 80s and I plan on continuing my visits until I'm at least in my 80s. I love retro Disney, especially old EPCOT Center, characters and attractions long since forgotten and all the little nooks & factoids the average person doesn't know.

I am going to need professional help for this disease at some point I'm sure.

disclaimer time:
I'm not Disney, nor do I own any of this. See something of yours & you want it taken down? E'mail me at missedith17@gmail.com .


The only thing I ask is that you leave credit back to disneyfuckyeah on anything that you reblog so that if others like what they see maybe they'll find something else on here.
