Adventure Trading Company (group)

**The Adventure Trading Company** is a fictional organization from the defunct attraction of the same name.

## Description

During the 1930s, the Adventure Trading Company was a trading company which operated in many exotic locales. It was most notable for trading totems known as, "Jujus" which represented different ideals of humour, observation, discovery, tracking and knowledge. They awarded ranks for those who achieved all of these jujus:

## History

The Adventure Trading Company would have been founded prior to the year 1518 and enlisted members who were notable explorers that reflected their values. They travelled the globe with notable destinations of theirs having been Harambe in East-Africa, the Lost River Delta in Peru, and Mystic Point in New Guinea. They later travelled to an anachronistic locale identified as, "Adventureland", namely in a shopping outpost within the Lost Delta of Cambodia only for the Jungle Navigation Company to have lost a shipment of their juju.

## Connections

### Indiana Jones

Short Round's hat from Indiana Jones: Temple of Doom could be found at the display. The Daily Gnus newspaper also mentions the Adventure Trading Company having visited the Lost River Delta, the Peruvian setting of *Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal Skull*. The Eye of Mara juju is also connected to the story of *Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye*.

### Jungle Cruise

The Trading Company employed the services of the Jungle Navigation Company.

### Kilimanjaro Safaris

The Daily Gnus mentions the port of Harambe as having been visited by the Adventure Trading Company. Harambe is the setting of the *Africa* themed, "Land" of *Disney's Animal Kingdom*.

### Mystic Manor

"The Daily Gnus" newsletter mentions Lord Henry Mystic as a noted recipient of the Elephant Juju, given for demonstrating one's tracking skills, for "assembling the largest collection of lost goods of the last century". Mystic's name also appeared first on a list of adventurers that ran the Trading Company with Mystic Point having been a previous location for the company.

### Swiss Family Treehouse

The Treehouse Juju's design is modelled after the Swiss Family Robinson's treehouse from the films rather than Tarzan's treehouse in the parks, inferring a potential connection between the Trading Company and Robinson clan.

### Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room

The likeness of the god Koro is used for the *Tiki Mask Juju*.

## Trivia

* There are at-least three members of the group who have yet to be identified.

Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

**Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa** is a resort in Walt Disney World.

## Backstory

The Grand Floridian was constructed in Lake Buena Vista, Florida in 1937 by Merriweather Adam "The Grand Funmeister" Pleasure, a member of the *Society of Explorers and Adventurers* and the founder of the *Adventurers Club*. Merriweather lived with his family south of the Grand Floridian on an isle known as Pleasure Island. He had the Grand Floridian constructed as a 39th wedding anniversary gift for his wife Isabella Pleasure.

The Pleasures however only lived in their new estate for four years as Merriweather would die in 1941. From the 1970s to 1980s, the Walt Disney Company began purchasing assets from Pleasure's estate while excavating and restoring the remains of Pleasure Island. It is presumed that the Walt Disney Company obtained the Grand Floridian as part of this movement and then turned it into a resort.

## Summary

### Alice's Splash Zone

Alice's Splash Zone is a water-play area which is themed to Alice in Wonderland. It is composed of clockwork-style machinery along with tea-pots and hats filled with water.

### Beach Pool

### Mary Poppins

There is a running motif of Mary Poppins iconography used throughout the resort.

### Pleasure Island

The backstory of the Grand Floridian was made to tie into the now defunct Pleasure Island area of Downtown Disney. It was home to the island fictional founder and namesake Merriweather Adam Pleasure. It is also possible that Merriweather Adam is the namesake for the resort as he was a Floridian man whose most common moniker was, "The Grand Funmeister".

Goliath Spiders

## Description

The spiders are giant arachnids with orange and burgundy patterns across their body. They are seemingly hyper-carnivorous and equipped at weaving giant webs. They are native to the Mekong River in Cambodia.

Their identification as, "Goliath Spiders" seems to come from the South American, Goliath Bird-Eaters. These being the largest spiders in the world that are tarantulas.

## Connections

### Jungle Cruise

The spiders appear in the Walt Disney World version of this attraction, sitting in webs within the flooded Cambodian temple. In the Disneyland version of the attraction, their webs are visible in the exterior of the shrine. One of the spiders used to appear in this version of the attraction and though it had virtually the same mould it had a different colour-scheme.

### Haunted Mansion

The spiders used to appear in the Walt Disney World version of the Haunted Mansion and still appear in the Tokyo Disneyland variant of the attraction. They appeared by a stairway where originally they preyed on a man caught within a spider-web. This wailing man would later be removed from the attraction but the spiders remained until 2007 in Walt Disney World with an endless stairway scene.

In the original Disneyland attraction, a similar (potentially of the same mould) spider appeared in a cobweb within the, "Limbo" load-area of the attraction.

### Skipper Survival Guide

Prof. Herny von Schlit documents an encounter with the spiders on the 9th day of his 1933 journey through Cambodia to study wildlife and ruins of the area for Indiana Jones. The spiders dropped onto his boat in a likely effort to prey on the expedition only to be scared into the water by a torch where they were eaten by crocodiles.

## Trivia

* The pattern on the spider's backs are a *Hidden Mickey*.
* Another giant spider appears in a portrait in Mystic Manor where it attempted to kill Albert the Monkey only to be captured by Lord Henry Mystic.

Dead Man's Chest

**The Dead Man's Chest** is an object in the Disney Parks mythos.

## History

### Pirates of the Caribbean (films)

The Dead Man's Chest is an iron-chest which was used by the psychopomp sea-deity Davy Jones to seal away his own heart after he was betrayed by and subsequently betrayed his lover Calypso. The heart of Davy Jones is the only thing capable of killing the captain and whoever possesses the heart can control Jones as their slave. However whoever kills the heart is doomed to take over Jones' role as captain of the Flying Dutchman and is cursed to an eternity at sea as a result.

When the pirate Captain Jack Sparrow wished to escape his debt owed to the captain, he hunted down the chest to the island of Isla Cruces and unearthed it as an attempt at bargaining. Much later, the heart was destroyed by Jack using the hand of his dying friend William Turner Jr. which caused William to become the new captain of the Dutchman while Jones died.

The two initially had a contemplative relationship but a romance would bloom between the two with them abandoning the African Queen and using improvised torpedoes to blow up a ship of German soldiers before swimming away to safety where they would be married.

## Appearances and allusions

### Bengal Barbecue

A photograph of Rose and Charlie riding the Jungle Cruise boat the Zambezi Miss in-search of the trapped safari of the African veldt can be seen in this restaurant. This is a reference to how the Jungle Cruise was partially inspired by the African Queen film.

With them is a stuffed(?) Albert the monkey from Mystic Manor and a portrait of Jungle Navigation Company founder Dr. Albert Falls. While the relationship between the couple and Dr. Falls is unknown, it should be noted that Allnut and Dr. Falls would have likely been active around the same time (late 1910s) and both operated around the same region with similar occupations.

### Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar

There is a letter sent from Charlie to Trader Sam, the proprietor of this bar. It tells him to avoid the JNC boat the Ucayali Una and to ask him the next time he requires river-passage.

## Trivia

* Bogart's likeness is also used in relation to the Jungle Cruise within the *Jungle Cruise Adventure Game*. Here, he appears in the likeness of his character Richard "Rick" Blaine from *Casablanca* (1942) and is shown as a JNC passenger and member of the Cruz and DeNyle families where are two of four families that Dr. Falls in founding the Jungle Navigation Company. It is unknown if this is intended to be Bogart's character or simply resemble him or if there is any connection to Charlie.
* Charlie's relationship with Dr. Albert Falls and the Jungle Navigation Company remains a mystery.

Disney Kingdoms: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

***Disney Kingdoms: Big Thunder Mountain*** is a five-part comic mini-series published by Marvel. It was the third series in the Disney Kingdoms line, based on the Disney Parks attraction of the same name. It began in March of 2015 and finished in August of 2015, releasing new issues monthly.

## Synopsis

In 1878, Abigail Bullion moved to Rainbow Ridge in the Arizona Territory to live with her father, Barnabas T. Bullion. When she arrives, the town is going through a crisis. The mines are growing dangerous, but Bullion and his foreman, George Willikers, don’t want the mining to stop. To make matters worse, a gang of bandits have started robbing the town of their gold. Abigail gets stuck in the thick of it, when she sneaks out to follow them, and discovers the truth of what’s going on down there. If she can’t talk her father out of his delusions, they’ll take a more direct approach.

## Books

All five issues were compiled into one book, published on October 14th, 2015. The new edition featured concept art, variant covers, and a foreword from Imagineer Tony Baxter - the designer of the original attraction and the man Barnabas T. Bullion was modeled after.

## Credits

* **Writer:** Dennis Hopeless
* **Artist:** Tigh Walker
* **Colorist:** Jean-Francois Beaulieu
* **Letterer:** VC’s Joe Caramagna
* **Cover Artists:** Pasqual Perry, Tom Raney & Tamra Bonvillain, Brian Crosby

## Trivia

	+ Bullion’s characterization was shifted for the project, and he became more sympathetic, mainly due to his connection to Baxter. He was less concerned about the wealth and more about keeping Rainbow Ridge afloat.
* The character of George Willikers was inspired by a name at the queue in the Magic Kingdom. The foreman in Tumbleweed was called G. Willikers, a pun on the phrase “Gee, Willikers”.
* Jason Chandler was called by his last name for most of the comic’s length. He dropped his first name in the final issue as an in-joke.

Funmeister

An Indigenous totem of the Funmeister

The **Funmeister** was the moon-faced mascot of Pleasure Island and the inspiration of Merriweather Adam Pleasure's nickname "**The Grand Funmeister**".

## History

The "Funmeister", as roughly translated ancient Germanic names called him, was an ancient being that drove Merriweather Adam Pleasure to establish Pleasure Island.. This half-moon faced icon, whose roots go back to the barbarians after the fall of Rome, symbolized individuality, the celebration of life, and the sharing of laughter. However, Pleasure's research found that equivalents to the Funmeister could be found across all cultures and continents.

While traveling in Mexico, Pleasure experienced a mystical vision of the Funmeister that told him to travel to Central Florida. In 1911, after bringing his family down the Barge Canal System aboard a steamboat, Pleasure saw an ancient totem of the Funmeister on the shore. There, he met a ghostly Seminole tribe informally known as the "I-4 Indians" that allowed Pleasure to settle on the land as long as he honored the spirit of the Funmeister. He followed these terms through throwing grand celebrations every night, something that would be carried on after the island was reclaimed as a nightclub district decades after Pleasure's mysterious disappearance.

## Appearances and allusions

### Pleasure Island

The Funmeister was the basis of Pleasure Island's logo and a cartoon version of him also appeared in marketing material.

## History

### Background

Big Red was a female African elephant which lived in the Harambe Wildlife Reserve during the late 20th century. She had a child which was named Little Red and together they became fan-favourite animals in the wildlife reserve.

At some point in the late 1990s-early 2000s, Big Red was killed by poachers who broke into the reserve to take her ivory and kidnap Little Red. However, Little Red was saved by the joined efforts of a safari driver for Kilimanjaro Safaris along with warden Wilson Matua.

### Development history

Big Red was part of the original storyline behind Kilimanjaro Safaris which was removed due to being too mature. In one stage following the carcass' removal, cast-members had the line, "Big Red is going to be ok".

## Appearances and allusions

Big Red's corpse used to be featured as part of this attraction before guests set out to stop the poachers and save Little Red. After the change to remove the narrative from Kilimanjaro Safaris, there is still a poster showing Big Red and Little Red in the queue for the attraction.

## Trivia

* Given Occam's razor, it is possible that Big Red is the elephant who is featured as a silhouette in the Animal Kingdom's logo and as a head-mould at the park's entrance.

Moss later became part of a V.I.P. tour lead by the *Jungle Navigation Company* aboard the Kwango Kate. Joining them in this expedition was JNC president Alberta Falls, artist Rosa Soto Dominguez, entomologist Dr. Kon Chunosuke of the *Society of Explorers and Adventurers*, and Alberta's cousin Siobhan "Puffy" Murphy.

   Due to the perpetual misfortune of the Kate's skipper Felix Pechman XIII, the boat was wrecked somewhere in North Africa. As a result, the stranded guests became stranded in the African veldt where they were chased up a tree by a rhino.

Moss had a workspace around the Amazon River Base for his studies of carnivorous plants of Adventureland, with some larger specimens escaping from cages that he had placed them in. In a journal studying their diet, he noted that outside the typical insect diet, they were able to consume meat from larger animals and had even stolen his sandwich.

## Trivia

* Strapped to Moss' back is a cage containing large carnivorous plants. These might be an allusion to similar carnivorous plants planned by Marc Davis to appear in the Jungle Cruise. Near identical plants appeared as hazards in the *Jungle Cruise Adventure Game*.
	+ Davis planned similar plants to appear in his unbuilt Adventure House.
