What New Orleans Square Was Meant to Look Like

When Disneyland premiered New Orleans Square, it was instantly recognized as one of the greatest pieces of Disney Imagineering to date. The opening of Pirates of the Caribbean in 1967 and the Haunted Mansion in 1969 cemented its stature. 

It wasn't the popularity of the attraction that mandated the new queue we see today. It was the addition of FastPass that brought hoards out into the streets, creating the mess it is. 

As seen above, this is the way the area should look. Perhaps with the reopening of Disneyland and FastPass and MaxPass perhaps gone for good, things may revert. Wouldn't that be nice!
