Classic New Orleans Disneyland Style

Walt Disney wanted to give his new themed land, New Orleans Square, the authenticity and charm of the real thing. No detail was overlooked, and the Imagineers created what may be the most beautiful and well designed area in Disneyland. This piece of concept art shows the classic original entrance to Pirates of the Caribbean (courtesy a post from TP2000 on the excellent WDWMagic boards). More changes would come including the Haunted Mansion, but that's another story. This piece is definitely one for the books! And one I instantly wanted to keep for my records.
