No Lines: Utah Man Built Disneyland In His Basement
We all have heard of people who go to Disneyland every day like the guy who didn’t miss going to the park for eight years. There are some people who just don’t feel happy unless they are visiting the happiest place on earth.
I can understand that. I have felt that the house of mouse should build different lands all over the country for easier access. To visit the whole park takes a few days to do it right. If they built Cars Land in South Jordan, I could go for half a day, let the kids meet Mater and it would make a great day.
This guy in Utah took it to a new level. He replicated Fantasyland in his basement. He is an engineer and built out his basement for his daughter's enjoyment. Now that is easy access.
The detail of this street scene is impressive. He has lighting to make it feel like day or night.
The doors and windows are beautiful. The lights and railings are well thought out.
The replication of Snow White's Castle probably had the lawyers for Disney writing a flurry of cease and desist letters.
I really like what this man has created here. The only thing missing is lines of people. He did say he has a recording of crowds of people to make it feel more authentic.
What would you build in your yard if you could recreate Disneyland? I would make the Haunted Mansion for visiting guests. I want Indiana Jones jeep ride in my backyard and the rest of my house could be all Star Wars.
