The Earffel Tower at Disney-MGM soars 130 feet in the air above the early construction of the studio in 1987. The Earffel Tower was the Ivón of the park for many years before it was demolished to make way for Toy Story Land in 2016.

Hey WDI, please give Chester and Hester a backstory to fit into the new DAK land. Maybe, they were actually rival archaeologists of Indiana Jones and frequented the area looking for treasures. This is when they uncovered dinosaur bones and shipped them back to start Dinorama.

A look at the Magic Kingdom as viewed from the top of the Contemporary Resort with a Mark IV Monorail in the foreground. Take a close look at Tomorrowland in this picture as it is pre-1994 reimagining. Most importantly, check out the Tomorrowland Spires and the Star Jets.
