Miles,
I went on a tour of disney a couple weeks ago. The Mary Blair murals in tomorrowland were never removed, they are still there, they're just behind the stuff thats displayed now. The tour guide said they're in great shape.I think they should uncover them, very cool artwork.
Mahalo,
Al

Hey Al -
not to be a big know-it-all, but that ain't true.... The tour guide was feeding you the company line. My old friend Dug Miller got quite a few of the original tiles when they tore it out for the "new" Tomorrowland done in 1998.... If there is anything under there, I would be very surprised. Disney has a long history of trashing signifigant parts of the park....

Hey - maybe I was wrong on this one! This morning MiceAge also posted an article mentioning that the Mary Blair mural is still under there....

Quote:
The photo below taken late last year shows what is there now - there were metal panels installed covering the tile which were painted over by an Eddie Sotto designed mural during the last Tomorrowland makeover. There is no word yet if there will be any additional changes what with the new Buzz Lightyear ride going into the building it sits upon.

I wonder if the other Blair mural that used to be on the Star Tours side is hiding under metal panels as well...?
And how did my friend get pieces of the mural if it was "saved"....?
Ah, the mysteries of life....
