The ideal gift for anyone who wants to build their own little piece of Disneyland:
The old blueprints for Mickey's toontown are up for sale.
The level of detail in these drawings is awesome! I would love to see the full set of 768 sheets. I wonder if there are any 'secret passages' in the plans (as per MJ and other stars being able to move around unnoticed)

Jackson’s affection, some might even say obsession, with Disney was well-known. He often visited the Disney theme parks (sometimes in disguise), the entrance to Neverland Ranch was inspired by the entrance to Disneyland, and he had a large collection of Disney memorabilia (some of it exclusively created by Disney artists).
“Jackson was a huge fan of our parks, sometimes visiting several times a month, in and out of disguise,” said Michael Eisner. “He knows more about Walt Disney than anybody who ever existed. He certainly knows more than I do.”
Michael's older brother Jackie once stated: "[Michael] always studied Walt Disney. He loved Walt Disney. He read books on him every day on the road. He worshiped the guy."

One of a kind auction. A set of original diazo blueprints from Mickey's Toontown in Anaheim, California. I got them from a contractor who lost the bid and so these were never used. You could actually reconstruct Toontown with these. You might run across one or two; never a set like these! Beware of any that are black and white. They are photocopies. These are originals, made by or for Disney studios. The combined weight of these is about 150 lbs. They need to go in several boxes, Fed Ex or UPS and separately insured. You choose. But please ignore the shipping quote. My guesstimate is around $100, though I don't know how to deal with the insurance. Blueprints from Fantasyland, Frontierland and Tomorrowland that are half the size sell for between $500 and $1000 each. Here are 768 and in mint or near mint condition, nearly two decades old.
