I
don't like doing one of these only three weeks after the
last one, but it was just
Halloween—my time and thoughts have been very
occupied with matters other than this blog.
Anyway,
this one is a lot of fun. The
Disney Experience is a website dedicated to cataloguing creative
resources for Disney fans. It's more addressed to general Disney
fandom than the Disney theme park fandom specifically, but there is a
lot of theme park
related content, and crucially, the website treats it as its own
facet of the Disney brand rather than making the common mistake of
treating the parks as a mere spinoff of the film properties.
I
want to call special attention to the paper model “kits”
(actually downloadable PDF files) featured as their own category, as
this is where the best theme park material is concentrated. If you
have access to a color printer, a detailed, accurate model of the
iconic Disney structure of your choice is within your reach!*
Other
points of interest include:
- Paper dolls and other crafts that are not the elaborate models.
- Tools for customizing a personal computer with a Disney theme, including desktop wallpapers, mouse pointer sprites, and—my personal favorite—fonts!
- Special events and contests and whatnot.
- Validation for anyone who was worried that they were alone in their Disney obsession.
Poke
around and see if you find anything you like!

Provided, that is, your choice is one of the Castles, Haunted
Mansions, Snow White's Wishing Well, the old Disneyland marquee...
