It's the scene of A Night on the Bald Mountain. It's very hidden and the names of the graves it's Tony Baxter, Tom Morris, and the others i can't see. But quickly, this scene seems to be disappear for replace by Pixar movies.

I've been sure that there is a church in the Pinocchio diorama too, but haven't been able to locate a graveyard with it, other than, as Melissa points out, inside the church.<br /><br />After the "decommissioning" of the Rainbow Ridge church, these Storybook Land models are the only remaining churches in Disneyland, unless one counts the lost temples or maybe some scenes in Small World.<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444762441887107389.post-67408553603169205212020-04-11T11:44:18.798-07:002020-04-11T11:44:18.798-07:00You're welcome.

It's fun to follow a side trail and see where it leads, even if it's to another side trail. <br /><br />It's sort of like reading Wikipedia; you start out looking up Charles Wesley and suddenly find you're reading about the Dick Act with no idea how you got there or what happened to the intervening hour, but you know you learned something and enjoyed the journey, if not the less than subtle reminder from your wife that you <i>still</i> haven't taken out the trash (true story).Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01836717368846566211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444762441887107389.post-89510909978732721842020-04-05T22:43:59.080-07:002020-04-05T22:43:59.080-07:00Not to mention the fact that a bunch of people ten...Not to mention the fact that a bunch of people tend to be entombed <i>inside</i> older English churches.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169920944565828337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444762441887107389.post-55358003164981820592020-04-03T10:19:00.712-07:002020-04-03T10:19:00.712-07:00That has to be put down as a possibility, but I...That has to be put down as a possibility, but I'm with you: "unlikely." Of course, I suppose I'm biased by the pleasure it confessedly brings in suspecting that someone among the Imagineers simply had a soft spot for English parish churches!HBG2https://www.blogger.com/profile/05073387557562504315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444762441887107389.post-84740177817582036072020-04-02T16:04:02.630-07:002020-04-02T16:04:02.630-07:00A bunch of online dictionaries (incorrectly) attri...A bunch of online dictionaries (incorrectly) attribute a "church mouse" to Lewis Carroll, perhaps confusing it for Carroll's Dormouse character.
