Interview with Imagineer Tom K. Morris
Interview With Imagineer Tom K. Morris mouseplanet.com/12013/Interview_With_Imagineer_Tom_K_Morris by Jim Korkis, contributing writer February 7, 2018 After 42 years with Disney, Imagineer Tom K. Morris recently took advantage of an early retirement. Morris started at Disneyland in 1973 as a teenager selling balloons for Nat Lewis Balloons, a lessee, because he was underage at the time and couldn't be hired by Disneyland. One of the customers on his paper route, Jack C. Sayers, who was vice president in charge of the Disneyland Lessee Relations at the time, was extremely helpful in him getting that job. Morris was fascinated by Disney animation and wanted to be an animator or layout artist, but the work he did in high school on architectural and mechanical drafting got him an entry into another division at Disney. By 1979, he had moved into Imagineering, where he was hired as an apprentice show draftsman. His first real assignment was the original Journey into Imagination attraction for EPCOT Center. 1/8 Later, Morris was put in charge of all of Fantasyland for Euro Disneyland (now Disneyland Paris), and was the leader of the team responsible for Le Chateau de la Belle au Bois Dormant (Sleeping Beauty Castle) after several others had tried to come up with an acceptable design. From working on Cars Land in Disney California Adventure Park to serving as executive producer for Hong Kong Disneyland, Morris was involved in dozens of both big and small projects throughout his career. However, I was interested in his earliest Disney experiences and talked with him in December 2017.

Disneyland, the first theme park ever built, opened on July 17, 1955, in Anaheim, 20 miles south of Los Angeles. The Southdale Shopping Center – the world’s first fully enclosed shopping mall – followed soon after on October 8, 1956, at Medina, in Minnesota’s Twin Cities area. While serving apparently distinct purposes, both addressed new conditions in post-World War II America: the slow decay of downtowns, the need for family-friendly meeting places for middle-class suburbanites, not to mention the rise of shopping and consumption as a leisure activity in its own right.

Jacob Surovsky Professor Maura Brewer DES 323 February 25, 2019
Surovsky 1 Jacob Surovsky Professor Maura Brewer DES 323 February 25, 2019 The Spread of Nothingland Welcome to Nothingland. You paid a lot of money to be here. More money by far than you can afford on an average day. But that’s okay, because today is a special day. Today, you are at Nothingland. Buy a Nothingland hat. Or a Nothingland shirt. There is nothing here you want to do. Yet all your friends are so jealous of you, because of the pretty pictures you are taking of yourself smiling at Nothingland. Nothingland is a theme park. You may know it by another name. The ticket you bought likely reads “California Adventure” when you cross the threshold into Nothingland. But California Adventure bears little resemblance to California, and less resemblance to having an adventure. It is a theme park wherein the only experience it offers is to go to a theme park, and as consequence for this grievous fault it offers its guest’s a soulless and shallow experience. As it has grown as a form of entertainment, the primary purpose of a theme park is to offer experiences that fulfill the desires of the guests. Disneyland is a perfect example of this. Disneyland is divided into 8 lands (see Figure 1), each of which fulfills a universal desire. Going to the future (Tomorrowland), the wild west (Frontierland), adventuring in the jungle (Adventureland), or the world of fairy tales (Fantasyland); these are all things most everybody views as a favorable experience. These experiences match the famed thesis of Disneyland which is inscribed over the entryway into the park, “Here you leave today and enter the world of Surovsky 2 yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy.” On the other hand, California Adventure’s development left it devoid of a clear thesis, and the experience the park offers has suffered as a result since opening day.
