Talk about humble and unassuming. A man builds a painstaking recreation of some elements of Disneyland’s Fantasyland in his basement, uploads a less than two minute-long video to YouTube, and all he says is, “This is a short video about my Fantasyland basement.”
But there you have it. An as-yet-anonymous maker known only as Travis shows us his basement with “facades that recreate attractions like Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride or restaurants like Pinocchio’s Village Haus,” according to The Disney Blog. Thankfully, the blog spoke briefly with Travis and found out that he’s been building out the basement according to his fantasy since 2006. Working from thousands of Disneyland photographs, many of the elements, such as copper lamps, were created entirely from scratch. For the stone-look building facades, he cut foam blocks to size, then covered the blocks with mortar for an authentic, textured stone look and feel.
