Actually... that's not true, no one walks up to us. Maybe that's because we are crazy. Nothing can even come close to illustrating this as good as our annual Splash-a-Thon.<br /><br />Inspired by our good friend Ernest P. Worrell… we decided to join the very elite group of "Splashtranauts" who has conquered the mountain! What defines a Splashtranaut? Well honestly I don't know...but I'm sure we qualify now.<br /><br />The day was January 26, 2000...one year and one day after our previous Splash meet. Our day began at Splash Mountain at 3:00. It was sunny that day. Since it was just a weekday in January, there were no crowds and the wait time for Splash Mountain was a comfortable 5 minutes.<br /><br />Don't be deceived, however...this wasn't just all fun and games. We were on a fact finding mission. Because of a rumor we had heard from the Internet (actually from a comment Bruce Gordon made in a Disney.com chat), we decided to find if there was in fact a sign at the bottom of the final drop and were determined to find out what such a sign would say if it existed.<br /><br />Our first trip went off without a hitch. We were amazed at the colors and the sounds of Splash Mountain, almost as if it were our first trip through. We marveled at the characters, screamed during the drops, and pointed out some of the natural plant life appearing along the river. And then finally as we reached Chickapin Hill we prepared ourselves for our mission. The log hit the bottom, the wheels started skidding, and as we slid down the flume we peered down into the depths of the Briar Patch to see… mist! Unfortunately for us the misters would actually be working today. But then as we dove under the screen of mist we saw it off to the right! Success indeed! The sign did exist! Now to find out what it said.<br /><br />Our next few rides through produced no answers. Four more times we plunged into the Briar Patch and each time the log moved too fast to get a fix on the words on the sign. This was not going to be easy. Of course we realized that if we were meant to read the sign, everyone would already know what it said. But we were just having fun riding Splash Mountain. How could you not? It's an Imagineering classic!<br /><br />Unfortunately tragedy would strike on our 6th trip through. Our log was overloaded and made for a horribly tight squeeze. The ride seemed a lot longer than the nine and a half minutes the trip usually took.<br /><br />Our following trips would not be so bad though. Time just flew by as trip after trip down the five-story plunge was made. A debate was sparked about the layout of the mountain. Strangely we just couldn't figure out where the final lift is in relation to the finale. Maybe someday we will find out. We also discovered another nifty bit of trivia. Seems that as the logs come down into the Briar Patch, they're supposed to dive under the water. Well if you're lucky enough to be right in front of the drop when another log is coming down, you'll notice a trail of splashes made in the water by the falling log! What a great detail!<br /><br />Finally, on our 12th trip through the mountain, we were recognized by a Cast Member! We thought it funny that it would take twelve trips through before actually being recognized...especially since the lines were so short. But we knew that time was running out for us and our mission. Twelve times through and it was closely approaching 6 PM… sunset. And we both knew that there was no way to see the sign if the sun went down. So far the only thing we could make out was an L. The other letters of the sign appeared worn by years of Splash Damage. Then finally on our 14th trip through, the sun had finally set and night enveloped the mountain.<br /><br />We decided to break for dinner. So for the first time in hours, we left Critter Country. But after dinner we came back for some more Splash fun. It was Splash-tacular! With our mission behind us we felt more relaxed. On our 15th trip we finally noticed the Bluebird was missing. On our 16th trip we peered up into the inside of the tree stump at the top of Chickapin Hill...it seems there is a small little hole exposing the superstructure and they have a worklight on inside for some reason.<br /><br />Finally, our last trip through the mountain arrived...our 19th trip. Suddenly a bright idea hit us! Our first of the day! We asked the Cast Member on the platform if she knew what the sign said! Unfortunately she didn't and gave us a rather less than enthusiastic answer. But that's ok...we were waiting there and making them stay late anyway. Our 19th trip through the mountain would be our last of the night, and we would be the last guests to leave Splash Mountain on January 26th.<br /><br />I must say we accomplished a lot. Thanks to our undying efforts we can now call ourselves "Splashtranauts" without feeling guilty. And of course our next Splash-a-Thon will be even better! And this was all made possible by the magic of Walt Disney Imagineering!<br /></p>Jason Schultzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13193194008194991219noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262670429697236065.post-15867251615788635092023-04-02T06:30:00.046-07:002023-04-02T06:30:00.196-07:00Announcing the Parkendium Public Archive<div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIfsJV0X-CNfY2wKwwo-likVqm4ZLqWmzVdSY-04iuElhUSvSWMcQLP6KD3HQRvXbmIMdfBIUmcIP2ll-3_BufpJbubtvtX-cVZ0PbAies8r9fUKAeBL4TSZpJGH7qeVlYq7CM2-h9b7v3u0Q8qRfNgY1Z1Hd4l8zOBBvmFRtSpayodJjweb1szNxkgw/s1200/07-01%20parkendium-per-pjenkins-trans-0003-26-03-r-med.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-6Gg3psnvCfxDV7kZL2-7MmURtG9oKUQ2sUtwF5U5kAk0XCRns0FwxeQ3VU3Xr5-xvz8Hgvtr2TA7X0SZnv_ZGY1UzGt4UStVPOJWPgTfhNwKotAPoIbBHmeSTJqMDG11qtLfSa1PObgjdQijfcImowdqq5Q50b7lgRwuK5iGc7SQVvfwYVCZlDT94A/s1287/01-01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="684" data-original-width="1287" height="171" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-6Gg3psnvCfxDV7kZL2-7MmURtG9oKUQ2sUtwF5U5kAk0XCRns0FwxeQ3VU3Xr5-xvz8Hgvtr2TA7X0SZnv_ZGY1UzGt4UStVPOJWPgTfhNwKotAPoIbBHmeSTJqMDG11qtLfSa1PObgjdQijfcImowdqq5Q50b7lgRwuK5iGc7SQVvfwYVCZlDT94A/w320-h171/01-01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br />The time has come to unveil the first version of the Parkendium public archive, a digital Disneyland collection.<br /><br />Starting small with just 65,000 digital assets from the 1950s to the present.<br /><a href="https://mediagraph.io/parkendium"><br />https://mediagraph.io/parkendium</a><br /><br />Learn more in this blog post.<br /><p></p><p>What will you find on Parkendium right now?<br /><br />36,000 of my photos.<br /><br />3,600 photos from the incredible collection of Patrick Jenkins, including fantastic 1950s/1960s signage documentation.<br /><br />The entirety of <a href="http://matterhorn1959.blogspot.com/">Stuff from the Park</a> and <a href="http://gorillasdontblog.blogspot.com/">Gorillas Don't Blog</a> thru 2021—indexed.<br /><br />And more!</p><p>My first highly recommended top tip is to first click "Request Access" at upper right so I can create a free account for you.<br /><br />You don't have to do this, but if you do you will be able to see more metadata and search directly on the keywords (which is the core of findability).</p><p>When you visit, you'll see two links: the Parkendium Public Archive (where all the digital assets are) and Documentation.<br /><br />The only document currently in Documentation is the start of a chronology of updates to the site.<br /><br />I need your feedback regarding what's unclear to you!</p><p>The Help button at upper right is generic to the hosting service (MediaGraph), but could assist you in navigating Parkendium.</p><p>To understand how to find digital assets on Parkendium, it's important to understand my keywording process.<br /><br />Most of them are photographs, and my subject indexing has been focused on these.<br /><br />These are the core categories I try to apply to each photo as a base.

I've only reviewed one book previously on this blog (<a href="http://disneylandcompendium.blogspot.com/2008/06/chris-strodders-disneyland-encyclopedia.html" target="_blank">Chris Strodder's <i>The Disneyland Encyclopedia</i>, in 2008</a>). That shouldn't indicate, of course, that I haven't found many worthwhile Disneyland books published in the last decade (Todd James Pierce's <i>Three Years in Wonderland</i> being one of the best).<br />
<br />
But David Koenig's forthcoming <i>The 55ers: The Pioneers Who Settled Disneyland</i> (available everywhere September 2019) is right in line with the Disneyland research work I am doing. With so few people doing research on the Disneyland Cast, I am perhaps best-positioned to review the book, which I received this week because I pledged to the <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/373772146/the-55ers-the-pioneers-who-settled-disneyland" target="_blank">Kickstarter campaign</a> earlier this year.<br />
<br />
If you're familiar with books on Disneyland, you very likely already know David's name. His first book, 25 years ago, was <i>Mouse Tales: A Behind-the-Ears Look at Disneyland</i>. He wrote follow-ups in a similar vein (<i>Mouse Under Glass, More Mouse Tales</i>), about Walt Disney World (<i>Realityland</i>), and most recently <i>The People v. Disneyland: How Lawsuits & Lawyers Transformed the Magic</i>. David was instrumental in bringing to publication the memoirs of two early Disneyland Cast Members: Club 55er Bob Penfield's <i>The Last Original Disneylander</i> and Bob D'Arcy's <i>A Walk in the Park: Reflections from Disneyland's First Host</i>. Additionally, since 2000 David has had an online column about rumors and news about the Disneyland Cast, first on MousePlanet and now on MiceChat.<br />
<br />
If there is one person with a reputation for writing the stories of the Cast, it's David. I felt that while his earlier books on Disneyland sometimes relied heavily on Cast Member stories in a way that wasn't easy for an outsider to verify, both <i>The People v. Disneyland</i> and <i>The 55ers</i> are better cited. <br />
<br />
So what is the aim of <i>The 55ers</i>? In the Introduction, David explains that when he was first interviewing Cast Members about Disneyland, he was so focused on their Park stories that he wouldn't bother to ask about their non-Disneyland life experiences. But as he continued these conversations, with particular prodding from Disney University founder Van France, he came to understand the importance of the people. As he put it, "I continued interviewing cast members, but now with an eye toward who they were, rather than just the tales they could tell me." Disneyland would have been a very different place if different people worked there in 1955. <i>The 55ers</i> is "[David's] attempt to pay tribute to all of these brave adventurers."<br />
<br />
<i>The 55ers</i> profiles 743 first-year employees(!) and names another 325. For most of you, this is an astonishing number of profiles of people you have never heard of. The book is as much about the people as it is about Disneyland, so you'll read stories of wartime service, Midwestern couples relocating to Southern California and both ending up at Disneyland, and post-Disneyland stories (including all those who followed C. V. Wood on his endeavors). I think David has produced a beautiful tribute to the Disneyland pioneers. If you collect books on Disneyland history, your shelf is now impoverished without this book. You will find information you didn't know, and see unique photographs of things you have never seen. This is not in any way a rehash of the 1975 <i>Club 55</i> book (the only comparable work.)<br />
<br />
In his Acknowledgments, David gives special thanks to Bob Penfield, the last to retire of the first to be hired. An early idea for <i>The 55ers</i> was that some profiles could be sprinkled throughout Bob's own memoir. Bob has always been the one who cared the most about the Club 55 legacy. I owe thanks to Bob, too. I first met him as a teenager in July 1997 at his Main Street window dedication ceremony, awarded to him upon his retirement. I was wearing my "Ask Me About My Disneyland Website" button and he did. (He asked that I only print nice things.) He helped me and Kevin Yee out with our trivia books and answered some detailed questions when I first began work on the thesaurus. He put me in touch with early Cast Member Earl Archer, whose collection of Cast publications has been integral to my research. Thank you, Bob!<br />

<br />
How does one put together a book like this? Talk to a lot of people over a long period of time, to start. He's been doing research in this vein for 30 years. He also reviewed early directories and Cast publications over a long period of time. Unfortunately, the book does not include a comprehensive index of all the sources he consulted, but just the "most relied-upon of the tens of thousands of records," as well as the people he interviewed, the families he interviewed, and interviews conducted by others which he was able to use. The book also includes a Personnel Index to all of the 55ers he names or profiles. David laments that he was "unable to find names for a great many of the 800-some people who worked for lessees in 1955." This is an area where I can't use my thesaurus to identify omissions, as I only group work history by decade. Brad Abbott has done in-depth research on the lessees, and hopefully his book on that subject can fill in some gaps David has identified.<br />
<br />
As somebody steeped in the terminology of Disneyland at various points in its history, I've found David's use of nomenclature to be spot on in both official and unofficial terms. That's often my first clue that somebody knows what they're talking about.<br />
<br />
The book is organized along two parallel tracks. As David describes each division, department, and location, telling the history and weaving in anecdotes from those he's interviewed, he also uses extensive sidebars to profile or name the people who worked in those places. By displaying this information together, the book constantly reminds you of the importance of the people. I don't know that David considers this a Disneyland reference work, but I definitely do. If you wouldn't want to buy a Disneyland reference work, please don't let my categorization dissuade you—$55 is a bargain for the amount of information he's compiled and published as a very attractive, photo-filled hardbound book.<br />
<br />
The amount of information in each biographical entry can be uneven and doesn't necessarily track with their length of service to the Park. I found an example of this in the Finance section. Jim Quigley, a Club 55 member who retired in 1994, received only half as long an entry as Denis Scallen. David describes Scallen's time at Disneyland as brief, before describing a number of activities he pursued as a charlatan in later years. The example also shows how much it is about the people and their stories beyond Disneyland.<br />
<br />
Biography is tough. Before we realized that, Kevin and I had planned for one series of our encyclopedia series to be a Pantheon. Which is why it's all the more remarkable that for nearly everyone he's profiled, David has found their full names, their dates of birth, their dates of death (as applicable to a large majority of the 55ers), and details of their lives. Although I have gone through Cast publications and directories meticulously, I am very often seeing new middle or maiden names, and nicknames that have helped me consolidate a few terms into one person. There is no central place he could have found this information, which demonstrates the incredible amount of work he put into it.<br />
<br />
If I had a "wish list" item that could have been incorporated into the book, it would have been the employment dates with Disneyland listed like the birth and death dates, so you could see who was only there a short time and who stayed. But in addition to being perhaps an impossible thing to find for so many people, David's focus clearly is 1955 and what happened that year. In that sense, it doesn't matter as much if somebody built a career at Disneyland; what matters is what they were doing the opening year. The book does include in the profiles separation and retirement dates (when known).<br />
<br />
I haven't been fact checking every statement I've seen in the book, but everything shows it to be very well researched. All of the new information I'm finding matches up with what I've already recorded and additionally fleshes it out. For example, I already knew that Costumer Ed Carnegie lose his Ticket Seller wife Sally in 1960. I didn't know that she had been killed in a car accident while driving to Yuma, Arizona. Additionally, while I had a Sally Carnegie in the thesaurus, I hadn't realized that she was also the person who I had in the thesaurus as Sally Wray (from references to her in the directories and the <i>Disneylander</i>).<br />
<br />
So far, I've already had some amount of information on 80% of the people in <i>The 55ers</i>. Usually the book has a fuller name than I do, such as Dorothy Mae Donaldson Humphries instead of Dorothy M. Humphries. Occasionally I've found that I have a part of a name he doesn't, and I've tracked those to a May 28, 1956 telephone directory I don't think he used. It's understandable that it wouldn't have been a starting place for his research, but does have a tiny amount more detail in a few cases. (He mentions using November and December directories, which I don't have. Hey David, let's trade!)<br />
<br />
What it all boils down to is that if you combine <i>The 55ers</i> with <i>Three Years in Wonderland</i>, Jim Korkis' <i>The Unofficial Disneyland 1955 Companion</i>, Marcy Carricker Smothers' <i>Eat Like Walt</i>, and <i>Jason's Disneyland Almanac</i>, and you have an astonishing level of detail about 1955 Disneyland that was unavailable even ten years ago. Kudos to David for the exceptional book he was able to put together, which would have been difficult 30 years ago, let alone today.Jason Schultzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13193194008194991219noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262670429697236065.post-34077114155721178592019-04-04T00:01:00.000-07:002019-04-04T00:01:03.706-07:0050 Years of the Disneyland LineCan you believe that the Disneyland Line debuted 50 years ago today? I don't know what the University of Disneyland employees expected this publication would cover or how long they thought it would last. It was part of a series of Cast communication tools which essentially began with the <i>Disneylander</i> periodical in January 1957.<br />
<br />

<br />
The <i>Disneylander</i> only lasted until November 1961. The <i>Backstage Disneyland </i>magazine began in Winter 1962 (under the editorship of Disney Legend Wally Boag).<br />

<br />
<i>Backstage Disneyland</i> continued until the summer of 1980 and throughout the 1960s published at least twice a year. But it didn't appear that this was frequent enough. By late 1964, the Park was sending out a small brochure known as the Tencennial Newsletter, of which a few other editions were published in 1965. By January 1966, this was going out monthly as the University of Disneyland Newsletter. From October 1966 through around April 1971—when the redundancy to the weekly <i>Disneyland Line</i> was surely evident—this monthly publication continued as <i>Inside Disneyland.</i><br />
<br />
The <i>Disneyland Line</i> debuted on April 4, 1969, as a two-page publication. For the next year it fluctuated between a two-and-four-page publication. On this blog, I've talked a bit about the <i>Disneyland Line</i> publication, including <a href="http://disneylandcompendium.blogspot.com/2008/04/number-two.html" target="_blank">a reproduction of the second issue</a> and <a href="http://disneylandcompendium.blogspot.com/2018/01/5000-pages-of-disneyland-lines.html" target="_blank">my own (and only) appearance in it</a>. I have a very robust collection of digital surrogates of <i>Disneyland Line</i> and <i>Disneyland Resort Line</i> (the new name as of December 31, 1999) issues. But for a long time I was missing many of the issues from 1969 and 1970.<br />
<br />
Because the Walt Disney Archives wasn't established until 1970—and the Disney depository system including the Anaheim Public Library not instituted until sometime later—I hadn't immediately inquired with the Anaheim Heritage Center as to what <i>Disneyland Lines</i> they might have. I was quite pleased to discover, upon asking, that they had about half the issues I was missing from that early timeframe, including the very first issue.<br />
<br />
So, on this 50th anniversary of the publication, I am pleased to share the Heritage Center's copy of this enduring publication. I'm not sure my Disneyland interest would be what it is without having had access to copies of issues from the 1970s. I can't wait to see the issue documenting the 100th anniversary of the Disneyland Resort.<br />

The number of relationships has more than doubled, from 216,414 to 434,653.</b> But adding terms and relationships is only one aspect of the overall project. The following summary stretches back to the last quarter of 2017, when I resumed work on the thesaurus in earnest.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Identifying and Acquiring Sources</b></span><br />
The thesaurus is built around information from reputable sources, so it's always been driven by a need to first build a bibliography of Disneyland sources and then acquire them (mostly as digital surrogates). In years past this has involved a lot of scanning (of <i>Disneyland Lines</i> in particular). This year has been much more focused on acquiring digital objects—tens of thousands of them, in fact.<br />
<br />
I maintain two Excel tracking spreadsheets to document my work with sources, one titled Publication Tracking Spreadsheet and the other Web Material Tracking Spreadsheet. Web Material had been stagnant, with only a few of the vintage Disneyland blogs listed and only a little work done years ago to locally save the files. So, one project was to not only expand the index (by copying and pasting blog links and titles and then filling in the dates), but also to save the content for when it eventually goes offline. <b>I am pleased to report that I saved all the Disney-related content from the "big three" vintage Disneyland blogs: <a href="http://matterhorn1959.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Stuff from the Park</a>, <a href="http://gorillasdontblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Gorillas Don't Blog</a>, and <a href="https://davelandblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Davelandblog</a>.</b> This involved saving each individual relevant post as an MHT file (which combines the HTML and graphic elements), but also each of the photos individually. I did this for a number of other blogs as well.<br />
<br />
<b>I have saved 10% of the Disney Parks Blog posts I've identified as relevant to the Disneyland Resort (4,914).</b> This endeavor is a bit more complicated because of the frequent inclusion of videos, which have to be saved through a separate process. I had initially relied on the sketchy sites where you input the video URL and, after presenting you with some ads and viruses, you get a download link that often didn't work. I researched and found a program called YouTube-DLG which has made it much easier to download videos in bulk. (It is still a chore, however, to extract the video URLs and associate the downloaded files with my saved blog posts.) <b>This blog-saving activity has yielded 54,895 files, totaling 35GB.</b> The volume will rise rapidly as I save additional videos.<br />
<b><br /></b>
Another aspect of digital collection has been with newspaper articles. For the first time since 2010 I made an effort to augment and bring this source type up to date. <b>In 2018 I saved an additional 1,639 newspaper articles.</b> I now have 18,007 newspaper articles and advertisements (with the bulk being from the <i>Los Angeles Times</i> and <i>Orange County Register</i>, and still needing to save the <i>Times</i> from 2001-2018).<br />
<br />
Finally, I had long neglected researching in the Anaheim Heritage Room's collection of <i>Disneyland Lines</i>, which they have as a Disney depository of the Walt Disney Archives. Since the Archives wasn't founded until June 1970, and the <i>Lines</i> I was missing were mainly in 1969 and 1970, I didn't think the collection would contain what I needed. I was pleasantly surprised to find how wrong I was. <b>I added images from 21 <i>Disneyland Lines</i> from 1969-1971 and input information from them in the thesaurus.</b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Thesaurus Work</b></span><br />
The bulk of the new terms has come about from two activities. The first is that I decided it would be valuable to include information on the broader Disney universe, both to contextualize existing terms and because you never know when synergy will bring what I call "general Disney" terms into direct Disneyland relevance. (Did Evinrude ever appear at Disneyland prior to Kevin and Jody integrating him into Mickey's Soundsational Parade?) I began this work with the 2016 edition of Disney A-Z and then started fresh with the encyclopedia found on D23.com. (Although you would expect the online version to be the most complete and up-to-date, I have found in some cases that the 2016 print edition was more thorough. I've been keeping a running tally for a future blog post.)<br />
<br />
<b>As of today, the thesaurus has 9,993 General Disney terms.</b> I've tagged them so they can be stripped from any thesaurus outputs, as needed. I still have 3,399 entries to input (which will yield many more terms than that).<br />
<br />
The other activity—<a href="https://disneylandcompendium.blogspot.com/2018/10/100000-years.html" target="_blank">which contributed to the service anniversary milestone detailed here</a>—has been adding in Cast Member names from lists in <i>Disneyland Resort Lines</i> of recent years. Well, two type of lists. One is the service anniversary list published every month. After five years, the service anniversaries for 15 years and above should be duplicative, but the 10 year names are almost always new to the thesaurus. <b>As of today, the thesaurus has 29,249 Cast Member names.</b> I'm going to go out on a limb to suggest that it is the largest such list outside of a Disney HR system.<br />
<br />
I was unfortunate enough to discover that the July 17, 2005, edition of the <i>Disneyland Resort Line</i> contains the names of 18,700 Disneyland Resort Cast Members as of June 11, 2005. In the print edition, you could barely make out the names. But if you had access to an electronic version, you could copy the names and run some find-and-replace actions to end up with an Excel spreadsheet sorted alphabetically by last name. I tried various ways of automating the input of this information, but because I already had so many names in the thesaurus, the tedious prep work led to too many errors for my comfort. I've made use of a program to expand the Windows clipboard (Ditto) and at least make the entry as painless as possible. <b>I've input information on 9,775 people I have linked to a "50th Anniversary Cast Members" term.</b> Many of these people have additional citations from service anniversary lists or telephone directories, or mentions in the <i>Disneyland Line</i>.<br />
<br />
I tried a new way of putting the thesaurus to use. One goal is that it could be used to index digital objects, be they photographs or documents or blog posts or what have you. I created a new field (IDX) to try applying the thesaurus in this manner. <b>I indexed photos from 116 posts from Gorillas Don't Blog and 101 posts from Main Gate Admission.</b> It was an interesting exercise, but I want to put more thought into it before continuing further. It did reveal the need for additional terms, such as <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">construction (activity)</span>, <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">photographs from Frontierland rivercraft</span>, and <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">photographs from Skyway</span>.<br />
<br />
<b>I also took a step toward improving the possibility that I could "complete" the thesaurus.</b> The first was in defining for myself what "complete" means, which is going through a defined set of materials to draw out terms and relationships. In rough terms, that includes going through the entire run of some internal publications (chiefly the <i>Disneyland (Resort) Line</i>), all newspaper articles and advertisements, a sampling of Park guidemaps through the years (preferably at least one per year), <i>Disney A-Z</i>, the Disney Parks Blog, and some other publications and web material. There would certainly be missing information, but I'd be comfortable that I had made a legitimate effort of comprehensively examining a substantial collection of reliable sources. (And, of course, if I reach that goal, I would be more than happy to add from other sources.)<br />
<br />
When I first started the thesaurus, I did not source where particular information came from. I quickly realized the problem with this approach and reoriented my work to include this information—both for the term itself and the substantive information about each term. This acted sort of like a citation file a lexicographer might use, but with more encyclopedic-type information. The obvious downside is that this takes a very long time. I have come to a compromise that preserves two essential components of the thesaurus: firstly that it contain terms and relationships covering all aspects of Disneyland from the earliest days to the present, and secondly that the source for terms is documented, as a nomenclature reference.<br />
<br />
Now as I go through a source I will add its title to the SRC field for any terms which are mentioned. This project is by-and-large about proper nouns, so I wouldn't necessarily SRC the word <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">food</span> every time I saw it. But I would for <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Ron Dominguez</span> (or <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">R. Dominguez</span>, or <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Ronald Dominguez</span>, or <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Ronald K. Dominguez</span>, as I have also found). Where there is substantive information about a term, I will also include that information in a newly created field titled (for now) TT ("to thesaurus"). As of right now, all the sources I haven't used are essentially closed. For the 1,400 <i>Disneyland Lines</i> I haven't yet gone through, I wouldn't be able to tell you which might have an article on the Main Street Magic Shop or on Fantasmic! This new approach promises to make it possible for me to dramatically decrease the amount of time I spend with each source, but still make the information findable.<br />
<br />
When we published <i>Jason's Disneyland Almanac</i> in 2011, we were missing Park hours from 773 dates during that time period. <b>I am pleased to report that the number of days missing Park hours is now down to 34</b>, between January 5, 1997, and June 30, 1999. Having access to the <i>Los Angeles Times</i> through newspapers.com allowed me to see the Calendar section from the 1980s and 1990s, which frequently contained the Park hours and is not available in the paper's text database. For more recent years I went through all the Twitter posts of <a href="https://twitter.com/DisneylandToday" target="_blank">@DisneylandToday</a>. In addition to being a reliable source publishing hours day-of (always preferred to far in advance), the account also posted updates on the rare occasion of a change. Additionally, <b>I brought the weather information in the thesaurus up to date through 2017.</b><br />
<br />
Finally, I made some progress on cleaning up the hierarchy. This is a never-ending battle as new terms and (especially) concepts are introduced. I know some parts of the thesaurus desperately need work. It is very difficult to see the hierarchy from within the thesaurus construction program itself; I was lucky to have a friend create a way for me to expand and contract the hierarchy at various levels to help me as I make decisions in this vein.<br />
<br />
What's next for 2019? Well, tying up some of the loose ends I mentioned (in particular the 50th Anniversary Cast Members and <i>Disney A-Z</i>) will be a big help. I intend to continue improving the hierarchy and going through more sources in the new way detailed above. I would like to finish saving the Disney Parks Blog and bring my newspaper corpus up-to-date. There's still a lot of work to do.<br />
<br />
Peter Mark Roget (of <i>Roget's Thesaurus</i>) and I share a birthday, so I have kind of looked to him as a model. Roget began work on this thesaurus in his mid-20s, but didn't publish it until he was in his 70s. (Never mind that I have the benefit of a computer, of course.) That would put me on track to complete it by Disneyland's 100th birthday in 2055. Maybe a preview edition could be ready for the 75th in 2025.<br />

Happy New Year!Jason Schultzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13193194008194991219noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262670429697236065.post-62012978312586829132018-10-26T12:18:00.001-07:002019-04-03T14:33:34.902-07:00100,000 YearsYou'd be forgiven for thinking that this post's title referred to the expected wait times next year for the attractions in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Or the amount of time before the Disneyland thesaurus will have a reasonable amount of information. Instead, it refers to another thesaurus milestone.<br />
<br />
While it is hard to convey how much information is in the thesaurus, one (incomplete) measure comes from the quantities of certain types of information. There are currently 93,730 terms in the thesaurus and 370,665 relationships among them (hierarchical, equivalent, and associative). Not all terms are created equal, of course. Some will have many relationships and some will have few (possibly because of the sources I have and haven't examined).<br />
<br />
One thing that has been very important to me for as long as I've wanted to create the ultimate Disneyland reference work has been recognition of the Disneyland Cast. Back in the late 1990s, there was very little information published for the public from the Cast perspective (with Van France's <i>Window on Main Street</i> autobiography as the best source). When I began the thesaurus project in 2007, I had a feeling that the sheer number of Cast Members would be overwhelming. But I didn't set any sort of a significance threshold for entering names and information about the Cast into the thesaurus as I came across it—and I'm glad I didn't.<br />
<br />
As I continued to go through internal sources such as the <i>Disneyland Line</i> and <i>Backstage</i>, I found that some names showed up over and over. It was small reward to occasionally find a reference to someone starting at the Park, another mention years down the road, and finally a "Golden Ears" retirement profile. (I have also sometimes run across their obituaries in the newspaper articles I've saved.) Listings in telephone directories through the years have helped to build profiles of individuals through the years.<br />
<br />
As of this writing, I have 24,224 Cast Members in the thesaurus. With this many individuals, and with the small amount of information I often have, it is likely that some people appear under more than one name (such as if a maiden name changed to a married name) or if I had inadvertently lumped two distinct people with the same name into one term. I have tried to take these considerations into account, but sometimes I just have to take a guess. Here is how the Cast is broken down by decades:<br />
<br />
1950s Cast Members: 2,436<br />
1960s Cast Members: 3,782<br />
1970s Cast Members: 4,272<br />
1980s Cast Members: 3,471<br />
1990s Cast Members: 4,942<br />
2000s Cast Members: 13,669<br />
2010s Cast Members: 4,315<br />
<br />
A different way to quantify the Cast information is to look at the service anniversaries I have documented in the thesaurus, which brings us back to the post's title. This morning I reached 100,000 years of service anniversaries. ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND YEARS! That accounts for the anniversaries recognized by Disney at five-year intervals. I have gone off published service lists. I have also used retirement mentions if they include the years of service. I have not assumed service anniversaries, even if I see that somebody has worked at the Resort in different decades. Here's how they break down by length of service (I only assign the longest anniversary):<br />
<br />
5-year Cast Members: 949 [this category has not been published in the <i>Line</i> in years]<br />
10-year Cast Members: 2,955<br />
15-year Cast Members: 1,483<br />
20-year Cast Members: 706<br />
25-year Cast Members: 413<br />
30-year Cast Members: 301<br />
35-year Cast Members: 126<br />
40-year Cast Members: 88<br />
45-year Cast Members: 44<br />
50-year Cast Members: 5<br />
55-year Cast Members: 1<br />
60-year Cast Members: 1<br />
<br />

<br />
Do you remember <a href="http://disneylandcompendium.blogspot.com/2008/04/number-two.html" target="_blank">my blog post from April 17, 2008</a>? Good. It showed what the very second publication of the Disneyland Line looked like. Unfortunately, I still have been unable to track down the very first edition of this longstanding publication. And I recently learned that perhaps Disney doesn't have it available easily internally, either.<br />
<br />
The January 13, 2011 Disneyland Resort Line featured this item:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This could, of course, be from any scan of the April 11, 1969, publication. It's cropped a little more than my scan, the color balance is different, the bleed-through from the second page has been corrected, and the hole punch in the "Disneyland" is not there.<br />
<br />
What <b>is</b> apparent, however, is the evidence of the lower two hole punches and the overall fading around the edges. (The logo hole punch could have been corrected because it was more visible.) The first thing that caught my attention here was that they "chose" to use an image of the second issue published, rather than the first. When I first saw the item, I was hoping to finally see what the very first issue looked like! It wouldn't make sense to choose the second if you had the first. And then I began examining it and found similarities to the scan I had posted almost three years before this issue.<br />

Prompted by Major Pepperidge's question about when the hell this will benefit anyone (paraphrased, to be sure), I threw together a sample of what a print output of the Disneyland Resort Thesaurus could look like. I did manual tweaking to output from the database, but did only minimal review to determine if the quality of the information could be improved.<br />
<br />
First, a word about what the output would look like. When most people think of a thesaurus, they think of an alphabetically arranged list of words listing synonyms and, possibly antonyms. But it actually is much richer at capturing not only this kind of relation, but also hierarchy (broader and narrower terms) and other kinds of relations. A thesaurus can also have text fields to, for example, give a thesaurus user an understanding of how the use of a term has changed over time. My thesaurus is very rich in all of these areas.<br />
<br />
The most famous thesaurus, <i>Roget's Thesaurus</i>, had its primary organization by subject hierarchy. Go <a href="https://archive.org/details/Rogets-Thesaurus" target="_blank">look at an early version of the book</a> over at the Internet Archive to see for yourself. Since I'm not trying to capture the relations between all of human knowledge as represented by words in the English language, I already have a much more manageable field of knowledge to tackle than Roget. The alphabetical index was more of an afterthought to facilitate use of the hierarchy, but in practice this list became the primary way that the thesaurus was referenced.<br />
<br />
I would envision both a hierarchical output and an alphabetical. For this little project, I focused on <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Matterhorn Mountain</span>, since it is old enough and important enough to have a fair number of connections. Here is what a hierarchical page which includes the mountain could look like:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO-AvlkZhZkkjDWx3fnJgr_6DWefLj5XsqXIB-q60V-0f0gNKI-wbDsUL2PV7sInDeOjINTFl3MQpWYdjLPD0wm6rcwmh3FVJS5-gDIRa5CZii2-04cLk4mX80jNJe0kEPFeCoRtDl31QS/s1600/20180110_Thesaurus_Hierarchy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1237" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO-AvlkZhZkkjDWx3fnJgr_6DWefLj5XsqXIB-q60V-0f0gNKI-wbDsUL2PV7sInDeOjINTFl3MQpWYdjLPD0wm6rcwmh3FVJS5-gDIRa5CZii2-04cLk4mX80jNJe0kEPFeCoRtDl31QS/s320/20180110_Thesaurus_Hierarchy.jpg" width="247" /></a></div>
<i>(Note: As this is modeled after an actual reference work, you will need to expand the image.)</i><br />
<br />
As I implied, there is still work to be done in refining the classification. The <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Fantasyland Break Area</span>, for example, could be part of one of the buildings (such as <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Fantasyland East Building</span>), and I just haven't yet come across that information. I try to only go as far as the facts of sources yet referenced will take me. And if you look closely you'll see that I'm also behind at keeping up with the latest tenant of what I collectively call the <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Fantasyland East Castle stores</span>.<br />
<br />
You would find much more information in the alphabetical output, as seen in two fanciful pages below:<br />
<br />

<br />
You'll immediately notice that there are a number of different types of things here, from people (<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Mattey, Bob, Sr.</span>) to ride vehicles (<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Matterhorn Bobsleds bobsleds</span>) to attractions (<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Matterhorn Bobsleds</span>) to companies (<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Mattel</span>) to generic roles (<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">matte painters</span>).<br />
<br />
What do all the codes mean? Well, BT (broader term) and NT (narrower term) are somewhat self-explanatory. UF (use for) is the inverse of USE, and indicates that that is the preferred term, which may be based on official Disney nomenclature, literary warrant, or my own determination of the most widely used term to define a concept. The SRC note field is to capture the precise way that something has been written. This accounts for not only different terminology (<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Matterhorn Bobsled Ride</span> versus <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Matterhorn Bobsleds</span>), but also spelling variations and misspellinngs (<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Matte, Bob</span> versus <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Mattey, Bob, Sr.</span>). Some of the terms have brief descriptions of what they are, which are drawn from categories within the thesaurus. The decades are drawn from a "Disneyland Resort Era" category, to help me assign terms to their relative periods of significance.<br />
<br />
RT stands for related term, and RTI for related term instance. SPOF (which here you'll only find under <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Mattel</span>) stands for sponsored, formerly. CTBF stands for contributions from, and is a broad relationship to capture any type of contribution to the creation or execution of something, without going into more detail (the inverse is CTBT, contributed to). For example, <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Mattey, Bob, Sr.</span> contributed to <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Haunted Mansion, The</span>, but I don't specify what that was. (In this case, it's because I don't know—I got it from his <a href="https://d23.com/bob-mattey-master-of-mechanical-magic/" target="_blank">D23 profile</a>.)<br />
<br />
DN stands for date note and usually captures either the dates of a person's birth and death or of the operational dates of an attraction.<br />

<br />
<br />
Tonight I thesaurused my 5,000th page of <i>Disneyland Line</i> material. (I'll get to what that means in a minute.) Back when I was a teenager, I received a collection of of <i>Disneyland Lines</i> and other Cast Member materials which stretched back to the late 1970s. I considered myself well-read on Disneyland history, but the <i>Lines</i> had countless stories about things I otherwise knew nothing about. They were a window into a Disneyland I did not know and felt I could know no other way. I doubted then that I would ever have access to a complete collection.<br />
<br />
Fast forward a few years and my conception for the Disneyland Compendium (the ultimate Disneyland reference work) included the need to methodically comb the entirety of the <i>Disneyland Line</i> run (then 30 years, now approaching 50), as well as other Cast Member publications. My belief in that approach hasn't wavered, and I was fortunate enough ten years ago to be put in touch with a Cast Member who had saved nearly a complete collection and let me borrow his binders to systematically scan. The more I reviewed, the more certain I became of my approach.<br />
<br />
While the <i>Lines</i> have been a major focus of the project (as evidenced by the number of pages reviewed to date), they certainly don't tell the full Disneyland story. Other Cast Member publications on which I have relied include the <i>Disneylander</i> (512 pages, <a href="http://disneylandcompendium.blogspot.com/2012/12/4542-terms-and-not-done-yet.html" target="_blank">largely completed in 2012</a>); <i>Backstage Disneyland</i> (182 pages, 9 issues); and the <i>Inside Disneyland</i> newsletter (240 pages, 65 issues). Other sources include <i>The Disneyland News</i> (260 pages, 19 issues), <i>The "E" Ticket</i> (620 pages, 19 issues), several books (including the 2006 <i>Disney A-Z</i> and the 2000 <i>Disneyland: The Nickel Tour</i>), and 788 newspaper articles and advertisements.<br />
<br />
I learned early on in the thesaurus construction process that it was important to have a variety of types of sources, because it ensures the best chance to capture diverse concepts and terms. But with the benefit of time, some of the depth is also starting to come through. I may be entering information about a Cast Member in the thesaurus only to find that I had previously input a story about their arrival, or their retirement, or even occasionally an obituary. My work carefully documenting the <i>Line</i>'s terminology <a href="http://disneylandcompendium.blogspot.com/2009/11/on-disneyland-employees.html" target="_blank">helped reveal when the Park began the shift from "Disneyland employees" to "Cast Members."</a><br />
<br />
I've talked a lot about the sources I've used, but haven't yet addressed my use of "thesaurus" as a verb. It means that I have read, analyzed, and transcribed the text for relevant Disneyland-centric portions and entered it into the thesaurus (database). I have also entered any new relationships that the source suggests.<br />
<br />
5,000 pages of <i>Disneyland Lines</i> doesn't mean that everything on each of those pages is relevant and has been entered. The activities sponsored by the Disneyland Recreation Club, for example, occur frequently in the <i>Line</i> but are not quite as represented in the thesaurus. I include mentions of Cast Members, but not what those sporting events were. This linkage ensures that if someone were interested in a particular Cast Member, they could still follow the reference to find out more. This came in handy a number of years back with a co-worker whose mom had worked at Disneyland, before dying of cancer when the co-worker was young. I was able to find reference to her on a DRC bowling team, a fact which was new to her.<br />
<br />
Let's take a look at the process, using a particular <i>Line</i> (December 24, 1987) that put me over 5,000 pages and is pedestrian but for one detail. This one represents my first (and I believe only) mention in the <i>Disneyland Line</i>. I do feel that there is some irony in that I appeared at the age of 5 and in all the years since of researching and writing about Disneyland, as well as being one of the more voracious readers of the <i>Line</i>, have not made it back.<br />
<br />
While I've been writing that I treat the entire issues as a source, the reality is that I break it into manageable units based on the level of "aboutness." Practically for the <i>Disneyland Line</i>, this breaks on an article basis. I generally try to associate the article text with a single term in the thesaurus, which sometimes results in the creation of a new term.<br />
<br />
For any publication, my first step is to enter the colophonic information so I know who contributed to the publication and can trace changes in the title and personnel. For example, for a time in the 1970s, the <i>Disneyland Line</i> logo was changed to <i>The Disneyland Line</i>, but other references (such as in the colophon) omitted the definite article. So, in the thesaurus, I've kept the publication as <i>Disneyland Line</i> from its beginnings until it was renamed <i>Disneyland Resort Line</i> with the December 31, 1999 issue.<br />
<br />
The first unit following the colophon, as is often the case, is the cover story. For several years, Disneyland had a Children's Christmas Art Contest, for young relatives (children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews) to create Christmas illustrations based on a given theme. I participated a few times, but this was the only time my failure was documented in print.<br />
<br />

This <i>Line</i> was a little unusual in that it had pages which folded out, so you see the first- and second-place winners before getting to the story describing them.<br />

Now we get to the heart of the story. I created a new term <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Children's Christmas Art Contest</span> to serve as an umbrella term for all instances, and then a narrower term (NT) <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Children's Christmas Art Contest (1987)</span>. They were both assigned categories of Cast Member program, currency of former, and Disneyland Resort era relevance (DLRERA) of 1980s. I noted that I was mentioned in this Line. The other children, with one exception, were entered in the plain text field, but were not entered as new terms. The exception was Nate Jurczyk, because I already had him in the thesaurus as a Food Operations Cast Member.<br />

Interestingly, although I already had 14,000 Cast Members in the thesaurus, I did not have either of the retirees, who had been there for nine and 19 years.<br />

Although the 1988 Tournament of Roses Parade did not have a Disneyland entry, it did have Disneyland involvement through the Float Drivers pictured here, and the float co-sponsored by The Walt Disney Company. I had only previously come across the term <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Float Drivers</span> in the <i>Disneyland Line</i> of June 10, 1976, and had no associated Cast Members. This article contributed information to the <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">1988 Tournament of Roses Parade</span> term, as well as those for the named/pictured Cast Members.<br />

The final page again contains very little information used in the thesaurus, aside from the colophon which I examined at the beginning of the issue.<br />
<br />
The entire process for this issue took about an hour, including transcription. This <i>Line</i> contributed to 100 notes within the thesaurus. Some terms will have multiple notes from this issue, such as a SRC for <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Candlelight Procession, The (1987)</span> and definitional information in <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Candlelight Procession & Ceremony (1987)</span>. The <i>Line</i> contributed information on 29 Cast Members, including the two children who I know went on to the role later in life. 14 of these Cast Members were new to the thesaurus, while the other 15 had appeared before—sometimes from multiple sources. For example, <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Jurczyk, Dee</span> appeared frequently because of her role with <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Cast Activities</span>. My earliest reference to <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Byrne, Bill</span> came from the November 1970 <i>Inside Disneyland</i>, when he completed an introductory training program.<br />
<br />
In all, <i>Disneyland Lines</i> have contributed to information in 21,585 terms across the thesaurus. It's been quite a resource to this project and I look forward to continue combing through them. Maybe in the next thirty years I'll have the opportunity to appear again!Jason Schultzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13193194008194991219noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262670429697236065.post-2714275824284923852017-12-23T20:40:00.000-08:002018-01-08T18:17:38.693-08:00A Status ReportIt has, admittedly, been some time since my last post. Some life events transpired and put thesaurus work on hold. (To wit, losing a parent, having two children, and purchasing a historic home which "necessitated" <a href="http://www.yoreanaheim.com/" target="_blank">digitizing over 33,00 pages of Anaheim newspapers from microfilm</a>, in the process learning that somebody already in my thesaurus got married in my house in the 1920s.)<br />
<br />
I recently resumed work on the thesaurus and, while recognizing the daunting task of wanting to enter every piece of information about everything related to the Disneyland Resort, was impressed at the progress I had made over the course of the previous ten years. (The thesaurus itself turned ten on August 19 of this year.) As I work through sources, it's interesting to see a "mosaic effect" emerge for Cast Members in particular. You can check the sidebar for the latest statistics.<br />
<br />
I felt this would be a good time to provide an update on the sources used to date. The project's origins can be traced to my receiving a cache of the weekly employee publication the <i>Disneyland Line</i> almost exactly twenty years ago. These issues contained details I had never seen before and doubtless were recorded nowhere else. I knew when I was a teenager that a complete history of Disneyland would need to begin with assembling a library of these. I didn't have any idea then how that might be accomplished, but through connections and persistence have put together a valuable digital library.<br />
<br />
It is through this source that I have spent the most time. As of today, I have meticulously combed through 516 <i>Disneyland Line</i> publications—over 4,800 pages. That's approximately 20% of all the <i>Lines</i> published. My collection from 1969 and 1970 is only about 50% complete, but I have thesaurused those I do have and beginning in 1971 completed everything through November 3, 1977, as well as many later ones. These have contributed information to over 24,000 fields in the thesaurus.<br />
<br />
There are other Cast Member publications on which I've made significant progress. The <i>Disneylander</i>, the first publication, has contributed to 8,399 fields. I have gone through every issue of this I know to exist (there might be a few issues still outstanding). I have gone through every issue of the <i>University of Disneyland Newsletter/Inside Disneyland</i>, a monthly publication that picked up several years after the <i>Disneylander</i> and overlapped a few years with the <i>Disneyland Line</i>. These have contributed to over 4,000 terms. These publications were over 750 pages.<br />
<br />
<i>Backstage Disneyland</i>, a dense Cast Member publication from Winter 1962 to Summer 1980, is mostly unexplored. The eight issues (out of 36) I have thesaurused have contributed to 3,090 fields. I still have 650 pages to get through with this publication.<br />
<br />
I have gone through every issue of <i>The Disneyland News</i> from July 1955 through October 1956. These 252 pages have yielded an amazing amount of information and terms from the earliest period of Disneyland's history; I still have another 100 pages to thesaurus.<br />
<br />
A smattering of <i>Disney News/Disney Magazine</i> (9 issues) and <i>Disneyland Holiday/Vacationland</i> (16 issues) have been entered.<br />
<br />
I have only fully thesaurused a few books, but they are important. <i>Disneyland: The Nickel Tour</i> (2000) was the first, along with <i>Disney A-Z</i> (2006). I am working through the 2016 edition of <i>Disney A-Z</i>, this time entering the full volume to capture the peripheral Disney connections.<br />
<br />
There will be more updates to come as I continue to build a completely unique resource for Disneyland historical research.

<i>What are you looking at?</i> </div>
<br />
I have previously blogged about Mineral King, discussing <a href="http://disneylandcompendium.blogspot.com/2008/04/mineral-king-camping-trip.html" target="_blank">my first visit there in 2005 with Bob Gurr</a>, <a href="http://disneylandcompendium.blogspot.com/2008/05/mineral-king-aerials.html" target="_blank">the way you can see it through aerial photography</a>, and the <a href="http://disneylandcompendium.blogspot.com/2009/03/mineral-king-wilderness.html">2009 designation of the valley as wilderness</a>. I recently returned from Mineral King from my seventh visit, but this one was special--my first winter visit.<br />
<br />
To refresh your memory on Mineral King: long a part of Sequoia National Forest, the area saw repeated interest as a potential ski resort. Fifty years ago today the United States Forest Service issued a development prospectus and later that year Walt Disney Productions emerged as the winning bidder. Disney bought private land in the valley and the company spent three years creating a master plan for the year-round resort. The Forest Service accepted this plan in January 1969.<br />
<br />

<br />
Many people believe that the Sierra Club is solely to blame (or credit) for the ski resort not happening. While it is true that the Sierra Club's lawsuit in June 1969 (against the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior, not Walt Disney Productions) did delay the project, a primary reason the Disney ski resort (or any ski area) never came to Mineral King is the difficulty of getting up there in the winter. <a href="http://drum.lib.umd.edu/bitstream/1903/8984/1/Schultz_umd_0117N_10031.pdf">As I write in my masters thesis</a>, the barely improved nineteenth-century wagon road did not afford year-round access. Putting a resort in possibly the premiere ski area in the world (a frequent turn-of-phrase in the development controversy) couldn't overcome the cost of modifying the road, or introducing a new transportation system.<br />
<br />
Given my immense love of snow, it's only natural that I would want to be up in Mineral King in the winter. There are some privately owned cabins in the valley, which I assumed were inaccessible because of the Mineral King Road's closure from November 1 to Memorial Day. I knew people had gone up there in the winter, but I figured it involved miles and miles of cross-country skiing or snowshoeing, and then tent camping in the snow.<br />
<br />
My experience, in comparison, was positively resort-like. In September I befriended Laile Di Silvestro, whose great-grandfather Arthur Crowley had patented land in the valley. This land later became a resort operated by Ray and Gem Buckman. The Crowley Cabin (built 1929) still sits on this land. One of the more interesting things (to me) is that it is actually on Disney property. Well before the prospectus was announced, Disney was interested in Mineral King and had surreptitiously purchased acres of private inholdings in and around the valley. The five-acre resort was prime property that could potentially put a stranglehold on any other developer's plans. Disney still owns this property, and much of it is the main parking area for valley hikes. As a result of my friendship with Laile, I was able to spend four nights in the high Sierra, on Disney property, surrounded by snow, and we had a national park to ourselves--all completely free. When's the last time you spent a free night on Disney land?<br />
<br />
While on the Disney analogy, I must also mention that Laile seemed to me a premiere "Adventures by Disney" guide. An expert not only in the natural and human history of Mineral King, and in the nuances of this aged cabin, and in general hiking expertise and winter survival, Laile also anticipated everything we would need to enjoy our visit to the valley. And again, no surcharge for the service. <br />

The outline of the trip's logistics was simple enough: Drive as far as we can on the road and then haul our supplies in on sleds the rest of the way. Before the trip I had been warned that we might be snowshoeing in as many seven or nine miles, and to be prepared to spend the night on the road(!)--mountain weather being what it is. However, given the terrible drought and horribly dry recent winters we've been having in California, we didn't have nearly this adventure to get to the valley.<br />
<br />
We drove up the road as far as we could, which turned out to be about 22 miles up, leaving another three to walk in. Faculty Flat (named for the many academics who owned summer homes in the area long ago) tends to have some of the deepest snow through the winter because of the tree cover. We came to this steep, snow-covered slope and knew it was time to give up on the automobile.<br />

<br />
Getting the sleds up to the cabin was an adventure. Other cars had made it a bit further up the road, so we had some tire ruts to deal with. The sleds had a mind of their own, and we spent a lot of time righting them. At least on the way up we had greater control over their speed. Near the end of our three-mile trek, once we got to the sunny valley, we encountered a bare spot on the ground near the bridge crossing the East Fork of the Kaweah River. These bare spots were more numerous and troublesome on our way out, after four more days of 50-degree temperatures had melted a significant amount of snow.<br />

As excited as I was to finally be in the Mineral King valley in winter, it was even more incredible to stay in what I consider the premiere cabin in the whole area. It even has its own webcam attached! The cabin is old, creaky, and drafty (read: literally freezing at night), but it has so much character and history. Propane for the lighting and cooking helped to keep the wilderness at bay, as did the stove we kept feeding firewood to. I mentioned the daytime temperatures being in the low 50s during my visit. Every morning, we so welcomed the sun hitting the cabin at 9:30. It instantly warmed, well, everything. Because of the high surrounding mountains and the low sun angle, however, the sun "set" at the cabin around 2:30 p.m. Our first day this meant we were off the porch and warming up inside.<br />

There are actually four webcams in the Mineral King area, which we intended to signal from. The furthest down is at the private resort of Silver City. There we constructed a happy face out of some pine cones and pine needles.<br />

We didn't make it to the Faculty Flat cam. In the Mineral King valley itself, there is the cabin camera (pointed toward Farewell Gap) and a camera on a National Park Service structure, pointing to Timber Gap. We'll get to the Timber Gap camera later. For the cabin camera, we came up with some ideas, but the first morning it was past 9 a.m. (the camera usually goes off between 9:20 and 9:30) and we had to do something, so Laile ran out and planted the American flag.<br />

<br />
The next morning we took out two chairs, to plant ourselves in the view and have our hot beverages. The third morning we got ambitious and brought out a picnic table, made more difficult by the slushiness of the snow and how we broke through on each step while carrying the weight of the table. On the fourth morning, we felt we had done enough.<br />
<br />
You might be wondering why I am not sharing all of these wonderful webcam photos that must have resulted from these efforts. As it turned out, we didn't know the camera's field of vision as well as we thought we did, and so for each of these activities we were out of the field of view. This is just as well, since it felt weird knowing we could be photographed at any moment.<br />
<br />
Anyway, while we spent a considerable amount of time inside, we also took advantage of the placid winter weather to undertake a hike each day. The first two days we did five-mile roundtrips, with moderate elevation gain. The last day we did a more gentle exploration of the valley floor. You've already seen the many magnificent peaks surrounding the valley. The corollary is that when you go on a hike, there's no place to go but up, and everywhere you go offers a new perspective.<br />
<br />
On our first full day in the valley, we went up to White Chief. The National Park Service describes it as "a steep but scenic hike up the west side of the Mineral King Valley." Steep it was. This marked my first time snowshoeing, but I picked it up pretty easily and enjoyed this new way to experience snow.<br />

We arrived at the White Chief Bowl mid-afternoon, just as the sun was setting behind the mountains:<br />

<br />
Our second day, to get some amazing aerial-like photos of the valley, we decided to head up to Timber Gap. The south-facing slopes had lost most of their snow, the exception being that the trail had many off-and-on snow patches (see photo of Laile above). Because I love the view toward Farewell Gap, I consider the Timber Gap trail one of the very best. The first part is rather steep (and in full sun), but offers ever-more-magnificent views with every step up. The trip required snowshoes only as we got under tree cover near Timber Gap. Laile led us out to a little west and above Timber Gap, near her favorite lunch spot. Sitting on the bare rocks, we were treated to a view that included not only the whole of the Mineral King valley, but also the Coast Ranges way out toward the Pacific Ocean.<br />

On the last day, I didn't have the energy for an 11-mile round trip to Farewell Gap and suggested that we instead hike toward the gap, but not take the trail to the top. This enabled us to tackle our signaling idea for the webcam pointed toward Timber Gap. We decided to stamp out a horse in the snow. Laile provided the artistic direction. The horse had a little bit of a paunch, but it ended up not mattering; the webcam only captured the upper part of the head.<br />

The trip exceeded my highest expectations. (I had already grudgingly accepted that there was only a vanishing chance of falling snow.) I definitely look forward to future trips to Mineral King, including in the winter. Maybe I shouldn't even consider myself as visiting in winter until I've snowshoed nine miles uphill in a blizzard to reach the safety of the cabin (hopefully next winter!).<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Because of this man--Darlene Farley, pictured here in his mugshot as a 19-year-old--Disneyland may very well have never had Date Nites, Dixieland at Disneyland, 76 trombones led by Meredith Willson for the Disneyland '59 event, the 1960 Winter Olympics ceremonies (at a "Disney level"), or even synchronized fireworks and music. That's because on February 23, 1956, Farley kidnapped Disneyland entertainment director Tommy Walker (pictured below) from his home in West Anaheim and held him for a harrowing night around the city.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Tommy rose to prominence while at the University of Southern California, where he was the band's drum major and (simultaneously) the football team's placekicker. Along with Dick Winslow (another character also later involved with Disneyland), Tommy wrote the "Charge" trumpet anthem used by USC and then the Los Angeles Dodgers and seemingly every other athletic team in the country. After graduation, he stayed at the university as the assistant band director, and later the director. He came to Walt Disney's attention during the halftime show for the 1955 Rose Bowl, Walt attending because Disneyland had a float in the parade that year. Walt invited him to orchestrate the Park's grand opening six months later, and Tommy stayed on for the next twelve years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Presumably Tommy was at work that February day. Since I have written a Disneyland Almanac, I can provide some color for the day. The Park was scheduled open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and had a whopping 979 guests show up, due to the 0.16 inches of rain which fell. I know Tommy would have different feelings, but that's a date I'm going to mark to go back to.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Tommy and his father Vesey--another historic Disneyland employee as leader of the Disneyland Band from 1955 to 1968--lived on the same suburban street in West Anaheim, in houses constructed the same year Disneyland opened. I just drove on the street past their houses two days ago, so I can attest to the quiet nature of the neighborhood.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Farley, a man unknown to Tommy, showed up at his door that Thursday night, blood-spattered and slightly drunk. Conveying that he had been in an automobile accident and needed a tow truck, Tommy drove him to his father's house. (Tommy apparently did not have a telephone.) This accomplished, Tommy drove Farley to Farley's house, where he returned to the car with a .22 caliber rifle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Farley had Tommy drive him to the garage where Farley's car had been towed. Failing to get the mechanics to immediately fix his car, Farley ordered Tommy to drive him to a girl friend's house. The Associated Press account provides the chilling details Tommy told police:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">When Walker refused to call for the girl, Farley ordered him to drive down a lonely road.<br /><br />The police account said Farley then commanded Walker to stop the car, get out and stand in front of the headlights.<br /><br />Walker said he tried to cover his heart and head with his hands as Farley's voice came from the darkness:<br /><br />"You've been nice to me. But I killed my brother and I liked my brother a lot more than I like you."<br /><br />Then the gun fired, The first shot splattered in the mud at Walker's feet. The next two whizzed past the ex-drum major's head.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This quasi-execution failed, Farley ordered Tommy in the car, stating they were going to Mexico. They stopped in a bar where Tommy was "well known" (I really wanted this to be the Doll Hut, but that didn't exist until 1957). Unfortunately, Tommy couldn't communicate to friends that he was a captive. Farley had Tommy drive him back to the garage where his crashed car was awaiting repair.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">En route police officers spotted them and decided the pajama-clad Walker and his bloody companion looked suspicious.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The last newspaper article I saw about this indicated that Farley was set to stand trial in Orange County Superior Court on May 27, 1956. He was charged with two counts of armed robbery and kidnapping; the kidnapping charge could have brought a possible death or life imprisonment. I admit to not having looked into the court record; if anybody out there does, PLEASE let me know the outcome of the case!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I was just so struck by how early this was in Tommy's career. Anything entertainment-related at Disneyland from 1955 to his resignation in 1966, he had a hand in. More personally as a former Tour Guide, he was in charge of Customer Relations at the time the Guided Tour program came into being. But leaving his Disney contributions aside, Tommy was a major entertainment figure in the 1960s through the 1980s. He continued to do Olympics ceremonies (including the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles), Fourth of July shows, balloon events, Super Bowls, Presidential Inaugurations (including Richard Nixon's second in 1973 and Ronald Reagan's first in 1980), and the Statue of Liberty's centennial celebration in 1986, among so many others. Tommy died way too young, at age 63, during open-heart surgery in Birmingham, Alabama.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Tommy's contribution to Disneyland's history is impossible to quantify. Like other extraordinary members of the early Disneyland, Inc., team, he made Disneyland what it was and shaped expectations for the generations to come. It's amazing to think that one terrifying, oddball night could have derailed so many good memories we've all had through the years. But as my current research is showing, Disneyland wasn't a complete fantasy environment, walled off from the "real world." It was and is very much a part of it, and I feel that makes it all so much more meaningful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Thanks for the fireworks, Tommy. They're about to go off outside my window. </span><br />

The Disneylander was the first regular publication for employees of Disneyland and lessees. I've gone through 44 of these wonderful periodicals quite rigorously, but there are still a few I've not yet laid my eyes upon. These are the Disneylanders I'm after; if anybody can help fill in the gaps (scans would be great), look up my email address in my profile.<br />

<br />
anything after November 1961 (this is the last one I have, but Backstage Disneyland didn't pick up for about another year, so I am reasonably suspicious that some publication existed for 1962)<br />
<br />
As an offering, here are the 4,542 terms that the Disneylander has so far contributed to in the thesaurus. I searched my thesaurus for any time the Disneylander was referenced as the source for a term. That's why you'll notice what look like duplicate entries (such as with the very first terms where a classic Disney animated feature is spelled two different ways). Early publications (and the later Disneyland Line, too) far too often spelled employee names differently in every issue.<br />

The Monorail is a classic example of the innovation and risk-taking the WED designers pursued at Walt's direction.<br /><br />Last July I hosted a party for Bob Gurr, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his first gin martini (which has become something of a daily tradition for him). (Go back to <a href="http://disneylandcompendium.blogspot.com/2011/05/imagineer-at-work.html">this post</a> to see Bob mixing my first Gurrtini, on May 26, 2010.)<br /><br />When Bob was telling me the recipe for his Gurrtini, he mentioned that the cocktail spears he uses at home were stolen from the opening of Tokyo Disneyland. A while later, he said they could <span style="font-style: italic;">also</span> be crafted from a Mark I Monorail panel. I found this a bit humorous, and then put it out of mind.<br /><br />A few days before this gathering, Bob sent me four photos, equally horrifying and fascinating, showing how a 1950s Disneyland attraction vehicle could be fashioned into a cocktail spear. The first is a panel from Mark I Monorail Blue, which debuted July 3, 1959, with cutting shears prominently displayed:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_BYFZ4ksRlJgBcFOC1VdrbV1HY-zTiFFenNVSQhKUF4Qqz06nGVJ6cN6Dg3pUrpVsESwgoDytEnuJqrUVb22r71yRdpvxPkemw8QXzkhA2cQNzG0YOZ3X_mM5rl_BPTmtyagKZlFVtFi-/s1600/20111122_01_Monorail.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_BYFZ4ksRlJgBcFOC1VdrbV1HY-zTiFFenNVSQhKUF4Qqz06nGVJ6cN6Dg3pUrpVsESwgoDytEnuJqrUVb22r71yRdpvxPkemw8QXzkhA2cQNzG0YOZ3X_mM5rl_BPTmtyagKZlFVtFi-/s400/20111122_01_Monorail.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678058315511206194" border="0" /></a>I showed these photos to Mike Cozart on the day I got them, without first explaining the situation. His first reaction was, "Wait, why are there cutting shears on the Monorail panel?"<br /><br />The second image showed the cutting in action:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRGJodCZiVwgAydguBUfZvTZo-6E5BIwgRk-0s08U27duLUQpGZonPRmHxC2ajJQeatqP1z7n8g0u2NONO450sVO8_x8aGTjkt2MAB-Ah-bgbpX_qeyPtvdo4TymxmixXg1ZNwatQwjzsw/s1600/20111122_02_Monorail.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRGJodCZiVwgAydguBUfZvTZo-6E5BIwgRk-0s08U27duLUQpGZonPRmHxC2ajJQeatqP1z7n8g0u2NONO450sVO8_x8aGTjkt2MAB-Ah-bgbpX_qeyPtvdo4TymxmixXg1ZNwatQwjzsw/s400/20111122_02_Monorail.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678058726290649586" border="0" /></a>The third image captures, against a very distinctive backdrop, the three cocktails spears this endeavor produced:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjbylUCJFVfjW8YkGENzeUbRkfYX2yUE0x7bN4v-Q5birDxT-TksVnYWcTkIekuEJHmoFT7lS3qzFyLUt_gOo23_ivWsNTv0ODlCqostsQhpTZc01_INZC4-WyEWWlALoPPW-2KXDm03QP/s1600/20111122_03_Monorail.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjbylUCJFVfjW8YkGENzeUbRkfYX2yUE0x7bN4v-Q5birDxT-TksVnYWcTkIekuEJHmoFT7lS3qzFyLUt_gOo23_ivWsNTv0ODlCqostsQhpTZc01_INZC4-WyEWWlALoPPW-2KXDm03QP/s400/20111122_03_Monorail.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678058990999708098" border="0" /></a>And the fourth showed the functional spears, as they were delivered to me on July 9, 2011:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-O3D9xUTmL829wh19HvBrzl3cEyGBPBEJiKOyX66yUWwGhbA7eRTS2ihD5gESEV0msIjddCgs3McXWEWmqg5LoghVY6RWbBrpQrfYLSOyJC1kuGfvr45Hn3KOIk4dQAiexyKjNf69ogtZ/s1600/20111122_04_Monorail.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-O3D9xUTmL829wh19HvBrzl3cEyGBPBEJiKOyX66yUWwGhbA7eRTS2ihD5gESEV0msIjddCgs3McXWEWmqg5LoghVY6RWbBrpQrfYLSOyJC1kuGfvr45Hn3KOIk4dQAiexyKjNf69ogtZ/s400/20111122_04_Monorail.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678059239526526018" border="0" /></a>It should be noted that these 2024-T4 aluminum cocktail spears pose no threat to public health, as I have yet to be killed by a Gurrtini prepared with them. Mike and Bob--the only two others to have had Monorail Gurrtinis--are, as of this writing, also still in good health. I also want to mention that at the party, Bob was telling people that <span style="font-style: italic;">I</span> had suggested cutting up a piece of 1950s Disneyland to make these, and that was certainly not the case. But a Disney Legend is free to cut up his own designs and mementos of the Park.Jason Schultzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13193194008194991219noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262670429697236065.post-33517061510599109652011-12-02T06:00:00.000-08:002011-12-02T06:00:13.880-08:00Thesaurus Term of the Day: Delgado, Rick<span style="font-weight: bold;">Delgado, Rick</span><br />Added: April 4, 2009<br /><br />From the June 1993 telephone directory, Rick worked in General Services at Imagineering.

Ideally, at some future point in time, the thesaurus would have all the show scenes from every attraction. Because of the wall maps I have the Olympic Elk scene from Nature's Wonderland in the thesaurus itself, but I currently don't have any specific information on the scene. There may be a sentence or two in the notes for <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland</span> (or just <span style="font-weight: bold;">Nature's Wonderland</span>), but nothing (yet) in the notes for this term. (There is yet a lot of work to do in the thesaurus, as you can tell.)Jason Schultzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13193194008194991219noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262670429697236065.post-26260571202571139832011-11-29T06:00:00.000-08:002011-11-29T06:00:05.683-08:00Thesaurus Term of the Day: Rounders, The (film)<span style="font-weight: bold;">Rounders, The (film)</span><br />Added: October 16, 2008<br /><br />Thanks to the Summer 1976 <span style="font-style: italic;">Vacationland</span>, I know that this 1914 Charlie Chaplin film played in the Main Street Cinema. It'd be great to know every film that ever played there, but I doubt such a list exists.

According to the July 27, 1987 <span style="font-style: italic;">Los Angeles Times</span>, the Project Area Committee was established to advise the City of Anaheim on the Katella Redevelopment Project, which, among other things, would have included a peoplemover-type transit system. While the thesaurus focus is Disneyland, I also include relevant outside information, such as Anaheim's actions in the Disneyland area. The project was withdrawn before the end of 1987 in the face of opposition from Anaheim HOME.Jason Schultzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13193194008194991219noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262670429697236065.post-58916821274053473022011-11-27T06:00:00.000-08:002011-11-27T06:00:02.580-08:00Thesaurus Term of the Day: Parade of the Toys (1962)<span style="font-weight: bold;">Parade of the Toys (1962)</span><br />Added: April 10, 2010<br /><br />It's pretty simple these days when the same holiday parade runs year after year. There are changes in the parade, and the cast can have substantial changes year-to-year, but at least the name remains the same. In Disneyland's earliest years, there were holiday festivals of various names and events and a parade that occurred on a single day.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Parade of the Toys (1962)</span> is an example of a term that I might eventually have point elsewhere. The Disneyland Holiday Festival began on December 15, 1962. The parade highlighted the festivities at an hour-and-a-half in length. The parade was described in the papers as a Parade of Nations followed by a Parade of Toys. Because most information is bundled together, it makes more sense to have a single term (perhaps <span style="font-weight: bold;">Parade of All Nations and Parade of the Toys (1962)</span>) than to separate them out.Jason Schultzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13193194008194991219noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262670429697236065.post-23506696308313780222011-11-26T06:00:00.000-08:002011-11-26T06:00:04.640-08:00Thesaurus Term of the Day: Mktg Special Projects<span style="font-weight: bold;">Mktg Special Projects</span><br />Added: March 25, 2009<br /><br />The thesaurus currently contains 8,033 nonpreferred/lead-in terms. These point to another term in the thesaurus. This is either because the term contains a spelling error, the term is an insubstantial variation of a name, or because I have decided that it makes sense to combine two concepts into one term. In this case, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mktg Special Projects</span> points to the preferred term <span style="font-weight: bold;">Marketing Special Projects</span>.Jason Schultzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13193194008194991219noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262670429697236065.post-4952189106397714792011-11-25T06:00:00.000-08:002011-11-25T18:04:35.192-08:00Thesaurus Term of the Day: Show Ride Electronics Imagineers<span style="font-weight: bold;">Show Ride Electronics Imagineers</span><br />Added: May 16, 2009<br /><br />This is an example of a "role" term I created, to be able to link people to the jobs they've held at the Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney Imagineering. These terms are in turn linked to the various departments and divisions (in what is obviously an incomplete organizational structure, given my incomplete knowledge of internal organization through the decades). Interestingly, I only have reference to a single Show Ride Electronics Imagineer: William L. Wolf. He's listed in this department in the June 1993 telephone directory, but in February 2001 is in Electronic Engineering--a department for which I know many more Imagineers.Jason Schultzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13193194008194991219noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262670429697236065.post-12052522229182640002011-11-24T06:00:00.000-08:002011-11-24T06:00:05.203-08:00Thesaurus Term of the Day: Nelson, Greg<span style="font-weight: bold;">Nelson, Greg</span><br />Added: February 22, 2009<br /><br />This is an example of a person in the thesaurus about whom I have absolutely no information, other than that they were mentioned in a <span style="font-style: italic;">Disneyland Line</span>, specifically the August 29, 1973 <span style="font-style: italic;">Line</span>. The mention is that he was slated to perform as Thackaberry in the Disneyland Drama Workshop production of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." I figure it is enough to record mentions of Disneyland Recreation Club-related activities without noting the details. If somebody later inquires about an individual, I can go back to the source to find out the context. And this strategy has already paid dividends. A co-worker's mother worked at the Park for a few years in the mid-1970s; because she participated in the Bowling League and the Canoe Races, I had her recorded in the thesaurus.<br /><br />Tomorrow: a non-person term, non-date term!Jason Schultzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13193194008194991219noreply@blogger.com0
