S.S. Disney – The Floating Disneyland That Almost Was

Imagine a portable Disneyland that could easily be shared with the world, traveling from port to port and spreading a bit of Disney magic in places otherwise too small to host their own permanent Disneyland.  That was the idea behind the S.S. Disney project which would have built an entire Disneyland inside of a super tanker at sea.  A crew of Imagineering’s most creative talents toiled on this project, ultimately creating models and ride concepts which would have been truly inspiring.   In the end, the project was shelved in favor of building the Disney Cruise Line and parks in foreign lands.  But, the creativity which was left behind in this incomplete project is truly amazing.  Today, we share a legend which almost became a reality.
