Colonizing the Imagination: Disney's Wilderness Lodge

Now admit it. You didn't think that the Wilderness Lodge at Walt Disney World was worth a whole scholarly treatise, did you? Well, you'd be wrong.

This paper examines the Wilderness Lodge in the most intricate detail, especially from the point of view on how Disney interprets what the wilderness in the NW part of the US should look like, and how it tries to sell that view to its guests.

Of course, there is a risk in doing things like this whereby that one can easily read waaaay too much into things that are being studied. But then again, it makes for an enjoyable reading.
