Disneyland
tells a lot of stories...a lot of extremely incomplete
stories. Even the longest, most intricately designed ride hasn't
enough time and space to give us all the details. We're left with a
sharply abridged narrative, or perhaps even just a series of
vignettes with no explicit “plot” to connect them.
It's
like I keep saying: this park is awesome.
A
story told piecemeal is practically an engraved invitation to fill in
the gaps with your own interpretations, speculations, and
headcanons.* These bits of fanfiction might be as simple as names
assigned to animatronic characters who don't have official ones,
or as elaborate as a “how they met” story for all 17 Country
Bears. The vast majority will probably fall somewhere in the middle.
Here
are four of mine.
