Disneyland's keel boat Gullywhumper, 1964.

The Gullywhumper faithfully plied the Rivers of America around Tom Sawyer's Island for 42 years until one evening in May 1997, when the boat began to rock side to side. It capsized, dumping a full boatload of passengers into the river, leaving several with minor injuries. The boat was removed for inspection and neither it nor its companion craft the Bertha Mae returned for operation.

Instead, the Gullywhumper returned to Rivers of America as a prop and was moored on Tom Sawyer Island where passengers on the Davy Crockett Canoes, the Sailing Ship Columbia, and the Mark Twain Riverboat could see it while passing. Eventually, hull damage caused the boat to flood and sink, and it was finally removed from Disneyland in April 2009.

Do you miss the Country Bear Jamboree at Disneyland? Here’s the story of a Disneyland Country Bear dark ride from the past, Critter Country 500, that never happened, an attempt by Walt Disney Imagineering to keep the Country Bears at Disneyland instead of the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

Wendell and his parents~

A personal headcanon of mine is that Wendell was adopted by humans, much like Beary Barrington, except they're the farmer and his wife.

Wendell has never felt unloved by his parents, and though they may be a little dull and simple, they always try their very best to keep up with their colorfully hyperactive son, who has a wide range of interests and hobbies. Even if one of those hobbies is doing a little sidestep.

Oh, and his parents also fully support his little gay ass~
