From the Archive: Me and Cory at Disneyland, October 2000

Going to Disneyland is one thing; going to Disneyland with Cory Doctorow, Disneyland theme park aficionado, is something quite different. Cory’s encyclopedic knowledge of the work that goes into the design and implementation of Disneyland — imagineering, as they call it — gave me a chance to see Walt’s dream through new eyes and made it fun in a new way. I’ll post that story next week.

In the meantime, here are some grainy pictures that we took at the “Love Tester” while waiting for the Country Bear Jamboree to start. The machine gave us the same rating: “cuddly”. I thought we’d rate at least “teddy bear”.


“Are you sure this machine’s calibrated properly?”


“The ladies beg to differ!”
