Although the original Disneyland in Anaheim, California is one of the smallest of the Disney Parks, it is packed with little details to discover. One of the most unique and fun can be found at the popcorn wagons throughout the park. Sure, other parks sell popcorn, but the wagons in Disneyland are the old-fashioned variety, each featuring a tiny figure cranking away on the mechanism inside. Here are just a few examples. From Frontierland, a straw hatter:
Over in New Orleans Square, a ghostly resident from the nearby mansion:
And in Fantasyland, even the Abominable Snowman himself is pressed into service, popping fresh corn for explorers daring the icy slopes of the Matterhorn:
Did Walt Disney World have similar popcorn machines sometime in the past 20 years? I seem to recall them from one of my first few trips in the late 1980s or early 1990s, but I don't remember for certain.
ReplyDeleteI don't recall ever seeing any at WDW, but could be wrong. Anyone else out there know?
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo neat!!!! I especially love the "ghostly" one! I wish WDW had this too - such a delightful little detail. Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to point out that the popcorn cart with the Haunted Mansion ghost gets changed every holiday season, when the Mansion switches to the holiday overlay with the "Nightmare Before Christmas" characters--the ghost gets replaced by Oogie Boogie.
