Walt Disney and Lillian Bounds are Married

This Day in Disney History - Walt Disney and Lillian Bounds are Married [Jul 13, 1925]

 

Lillian Bounds was a secretary working for Walt Disney shortly after the start of the Disney company, when he became enthralled with her, and although he vowed he would not marry before he was at least 25 years old with $10,000 saved, he couldn’t resist. On this day in 1925, the two married at Lillian’s brother’s home in Lewiston, Idaho. Thirty years later, in 1955, just four days before the opening of Walt’s new theme park, the couple invited 300 guests to celebrate their anniversary with them — according to their invitation, “by cruising down the Mississippi on the Mark Twain’s maiden voyage followed by dinner at Slue Foot Sue’s Golden Horseshoe!” The invitation continued, “Hope you can make it — we especially want you and, by the way, no gifts, please — we have everything, including a grandson!”

First Complete Look at Prince Eric’s Castle

This is the Prince Eric’s Castle in the New Fantasyland [Magic Kingdom], which tops off the Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid attraction.

Here’s the first complete look at Prince Eric’s abode.

 It uses the forced perspective technique for which WDI is famous to make the structure appear much larger in size than it is in reality.

Forced perspective, which has been used since Walt Disney oversaw the construction of Disneyland park in the 1950s, is sort of an optical illusion that uses architectural scale to “trick” the eye into believing a building towers above you, when it’s really not as tall as you’d think.

Maelstrom attraction at Norway Pavilion at Epcot under Construction

On this day back in 1988, the trolls of the Maelstrom attraction at Norway Pavilion at Epcot began shouting “Disappear! Disappear!” to guests traveling nearby. These are a rare look into the attraction while still under construction on July 15, 1987.

Although the Norway pavilion opened in May 1988, it wasn’t until July 5 when Maelstrom had its official opening.

Originally called SeaVenture, as shown above in the construction photo from March 1988, the Maelstrom still takes guests on an incredible voyage through the past, present and mythological world of Norway.
