37. Rediscovering the Lost Western River Expedition

The best Disney attraction was one that was never built, but did leave pieces of its legacy in almost all of the Disney Parks.In this episode of Distory, we discover the planned (but never created) Western River Expedition and its heartbreakingly incredible home of Thunder Mesa, the missing mountain of Frontierland in Disney World's Magic Kingdom. We'll walk step-by-step though Marc Davis's concept for this ride, as well as where some of those concepts ended up when the attraction was scrapped.Kate's new bookA Glimpse of the Magic: Finding Ourselves in the Disney Storyis now available on AmazonHERE!Join us LIVE on YouTube most Thursdays at 10:30am Pacific/1:30pm Eastern for more Distory!Kate’s YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@disneycicerone⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can also find us on YouTube, Instagram, and atdisneycicerone.com &walruscarp.comViewfull video versions of each episodeHEREDistory T-shirts and StickersWalrusCarp T-shirts & MerchBooks we reference in this episode:Marc Davis: In His Own Words
