Overview: Today’s podcast is a tribute to the Golden Horseshoe which begat the Diamond Horseshoe at WDW which begat the Tokyo Disneyland version of the Golden Horseshoe. I talk about it’s history, what Walt created, and Disney Legends Betty Taylor (aka Slu Foot Sue) and Wally Boag (aka Pecos Bill).
Notes: I find it intriguing how much Walt loved the old west and included many elements at DisneyLand.
I wanted to point out that while it’s clearly a “saloon” and modeled as such, Walt was careful to have Slu Foot Sue refer to it as a “cafe”
The audio of Wally Boag as Jose is pulled from the “barker bird” who sat outside the Tiki Room for many years.
Here’s Walt and Lillian’s anniversary party.
Don’t forget about my video series: lost and found in WDW!
