The Florida Project


Welcome to The Florida Project!

My dad's sister lives in Florida, so we made regular visits to the Sunshine State when I was growing up.  My first trip to Walt Disney World was when I was just two years old.  My parents took me to visit the Magic Kingdom during the Bicentennial celebration in 1976.  We returned in 1978 after my brother Scott was born (Mickey's 50th birthday bash) and in 1981 for the WDW Tencennial.  After EPCOT Center opened, we visited in 1984 (Donald's 50th) and 1987 (WDW 15th Anniversary).   My senior class trip was to Walt Disney World in 1992, and by that time the "third gate" had opened--Disney-MGM Studios.  We had another family trip in 1997 (WDW 25th and the cake-stle fiasco).  Scott and I took trips to Orlando in 2003 and Anaheim (Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure) in 2005.  My bride and I spent our honeymoon in the parks and on a Disney cruise in 2007 and returned to the parks for our 10th anniversary in 2017.  Dad and mom took me and Scott and our families in 2013, for New Year's Eve 2015/New Year's Day 2016, and again in 2019.  This past January, I was able to return to Anaheim and visit not only the Disneyland park, but the Disney Animation Studios and other Disney sites during the Disney 100 celebration.  

Though I love the U.S. parks and dream of visiting the international resorts, there are always ways to make the Magic Kingdoms more magical... So this blog will present my ideas for making the most Magical Kingdom of all.

Rivers of America

  Rivers of America Tragically, Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom closed the Rivers of America, Tom Sawyer Island, and the Liberty Belle Riverboat on July 7, 2025.  With the Frontierland Shootin' Arcade the previous year, this is a devastating blow to Frontierland.    I am grateful that my teenagers were able to visit the area last Christmas.  Though very low-tech compared to attractions like "Rise of the Resistance," they enjoyed the simple pleasure of running around and exploring.   In my Disney Park, the steamboat is named "Steamboat Willie ," in honor of one of Walt's most famous creations.  There are three ways to get to Tom Sawyer Island from the Frontierland mainland: the Mike Fink Keel Boats, the Huck Finn Rafts, and the Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes.  Each of these is based on a real mode of transportation from the California or Florida parks.  The Tuscarora, a sailing vessel associated with the folklore of Alfred Bulltop Storma...

The Theme Park

  The Theme Park Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana, claims to be the nation's first theme park.  According to the park website, "Evansville, Ind., industrialist Louis J. Koch created the world’s first theme park as a retirement project. He was troubled that the tiny hamlet of Santa Claus, Ind., was visited by children who were disappointed when they discovered Santa was not there. With nine children of his own, Koch loved children, holidays and celebrations.  Santa Claus Land opened August 3, 1946; the theme park included a toy shop, toy displays, a restaurant, themed children’s rides, and, of course, Santa."  In time, the name of the park was changed to Holiday World and additional themed lands were introduced, including Fourth of July, Halloween, and Thanksgiving.  Visits to Holiday World (when I lived a bit closer to Santa Claus) are part of what inspired this blog and The Florida Project.

The Fun Map

The Fun Map After each trip to Walt Disney World, a paper park map was saved in the Pairan Family Archives.  Sometimes attractions visited were marked or amounts spent on meals were jotted down, making a record of the specifics of the trip.  These marks provided a lot of information for my Florida Project. There is another type of map, however, that is more decorative than functional and typically larger than the informational maps.  It is known by some as the "Fun Map."  The first fun maps, represented above, have 1958 dates on them.  Other years can be viewed by searching for "Mouse Maps." I was able to purchase a fun map during my first visit to the Disneyland Park.  Though I have tried to care for it, it is getting worn from use.   So the heart of The Florida Project is a very large fun map.  In future blogs, I will show pieces of the map as they get completed.
