Living with a Disney addict, as I do, Disney things are never far from my mind. I'm not a Disneyphile myself--I like the movies, Anaheim is okay, never been to DisneyWorld and don't care if I go--but Magicland in Bracket is made for Disney addicts.
Think I'm kidding?
This is Main Street, Disneyland, Anaheim, California.
This is Main Street, Magicland, in Bracket, on the grid.
Of course it's smaller; but they've done a wonderful job with the land they have, truly. There are flaws--they've chosen to go heavily with photosourced images, and sometimes that creates oddity, like the two-dimensional gaslamps that line Main Street, eternally lit by the noonday sun...whether or not the sun is out, at that point, in SL.
Frontierland, still under development. There are more than a few 'rides' and attractions that are still being built; but it's well worth a wander just to see what's there now.
This way to the People Mover, to see the park in style; just watch out for the sim barriers, you've got an easy fifty percent chance to be dumped from the elevated track back down to Main Street!
If you've ever wanted to dress up like a Disney character, Once Upon a Time has you covered. Simple shoes, (Linden) hair, shape, flexi skirts; scarily reasonable prices, even considering the no-flex hair.
Here's where the fantasy started to fade for me, though:
This is the Gingerbread Girl outfit at Giuseppe & Teena's, in the Crystal Arcade. Is this, or is this not, Disney fetish wear?
And this...thoughtfully labeled the "Candy (Jumpsuit)" (in case you thought you were buying the girl), it's got cleavage slit nearly to the navel. And even if you're able to discount that, the hooker heels, the Malibu tan, and the breast implants are anything but "made for the Magic Kingdom".
And the Aloha Dress? Is slit to below the navel...and nearly low enough onlookers could decide for themselves whether the lass is bare...or believes in natural hair. So to speak.
Kind of creepy in Disneyland, if you ask me...oh, forgive me, Magicland.
Still, taking everything they've done into account, they do have a comprehensive legal notecard available in their business office:

Good to know. Maybe they won't be shut down after all.
I'm definitely intriqued to see what they do for the Haunted Mansion.
in our thund'ring herd we feel a lot like cattle

Yes, those outfits are definitely not Mouse-friendly. Disney (-Land or, in my case, -World) is a peculiar territory, where all the employees are cute girls or hunky guys, but it's entirely sexless. They emit the perky charm of a younger sibling who is of a mind to curry favor with the older sibling. Or a babysitter (the old-fashioned kind, not the sort that pops up in movies such as "Mystic Pizza," where having an affair with your married employer who is more than twice your age seems like a good idea).
The Magicland version of the Haunted Mansion could scare visitors with over-tanned, Botox-ed, breast-implanted C-list celebrities desperately trying to get visitors to recognize them. And some of the outfits could come in handy.
Has your Di$neyfile housemate seen this. James Mason is rolling in his grave.
Star Wars Haunted Mansion will feature this video on loop and teleports will be blocked....

Miss Jameson: true, but really, really scary idea. What I found fascinating, though, is they're devoted to recreating the experience of Disneyland from an specific era; walking around, the three uf us decided it was likely pitched 1970-1990, with a heavy emphasis on park attractions in the 1980s.
Apparently they're also planning to have the Electric Parade at night, and planning to open the Tiki Room. That might be interesting--virtually scripted avatars recreating software-enabled animatronic people, birds, and objects...raising the question, when does it hit parody status, or is it already there?
Edward: oh, yes. In fact, Fawkes introduced me to that particular clip. Also he's delighted in playing clips from the original pre-show, as well as the revised version, of an attraction that's no longer at any park, Disney's ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter (this is part two, I think, and this is part three. And you'd likely want to toss in clips from the now-closed Adventurer's Club as well (I've seen a good thirty different clips on the Adventurer's Club performances, including this one which is my favorite).
In fact, think of an attraction or a ride at DisneyWorld or Disneyland, and I've seen some clip about it. There are down sides to Disney addiction. :)
