The Disney's Marceline Home.

This is the house the Disney Family lived in while they were in Marceline.

It is actually the first thing you see as you drive into town. Sorry this photo is blurry. By this time I was completely soaked from running through the rain all afternoon and the Disney house is on the main road leading into town so I really had no place to stop. The people who bought the house have added onto it. The Disney's lived in the small section consisting of the two windows, everything to the right was added on.

Behind the house is where the Walt's Dreaming Tree and the Disney barn is. I blogged about those here, in case you missed it.

This is the end of my Marceline Adveture. I think I've shown you just about everything Disney related the town has to offer. I did come across a few more Main Street pictures though, and I will post those later.

Back to the Twilight Zone: Part 2

After the clock tower, the most important set in Hill Valley is probably the cafe. In the Twilight Zone, the area we know as being the cafe is a police station. In 1985 Hill Valley, it's Lou's Aerobic Fitness Center. The building has not changed that much since the Twilight Zone, all they really did was relocate the door and build that facade. Funny how Lou went from owning a restaurant to a fitness center 30 years later. Mike Ferris also takes in a movie at The Savoy. The Marquee (and movie selection) was changed when this area became Hill Valley A close up shows, that those busts have been there for quite a while. One scene that really threw me off, was when Mike walked past a drug store. It looks like the clock tower is behind him, and the reflection in the window looks like the post office building, but something about the geometry just didn't make sense to me. I looked for more pictures of the set fr

Tales From The College Program: Getting Fired. Part 2

Getting my job back: Since Rat Face had gone as high as possible to get me fired, I decided to do the same when trying to get my job back. Ed Backlor was the VP of Downtown Disney at the time, I decided to email him. A day later I received an email from Djuan Rivers (who I just discovered is a Disney big shot now ). Ed was out of town and had forwarded my email to Djuan. We arranged a time for him to call me the next day. I was pretty nervous as a sat there staring at my phone waiting for him to call. I didn’t know where the conversation would go. Djuan was very friendly, he had read my email and asked me some more questions about the firing. I left out the part about how everyone eating for free so I wouldn’t get anyone else fired. He told me the typical “well, I know it’s not a lot of money, but if everyone gave away $3.25 worth of food, it would really hurt the company.” He said I could reapply with Disney in 6 months and when I did I would most likely be as

The Blank Check House

After the success of Home Alone movie studios did not waste anytime copying the formula (kid outsmarts bad guys). While the worst offender was probably Three Ninjas, Disney was also guilty with Blank Check. They even used it as a selling point! I saw Blank Check in the theater, I remember because it was the only time in my movie going life that the theater manager came out and talked to us about how the movie was filmed in Texas (which is where I live). So, on a recent trip to Austin, I stopped by the Blank Check house. Here is how it appeared in the film: And today: As you can see, they've done quite a bit of remodeling. Not to mention the heavy plant growth which makes it almost unrecognizable. The old garage door is now a window The original entry way has been completely removed. This is the front door now: I drove around to the side and found the back gate open. In the film, the back yard had a pool, go cart t
