### attractions

Adventurers Club
Jungle Cruise (attraction)
Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar

### Location

Jungles, African veldt, North Africa (crash-site)

### Inhabitants

Hathaway Browne

**The Gipsy Moth** or **Gypsy Moth** refers to several airplanes from Pleasure Island's defunct *Adventurers Club*. It is sometimes referred to simply as **the Moth** as to avoid the racial slur used in the plane's name.

## Description

The Moth is a name used for several airplanes which were used by aviator Hathaway Browne. One of these planes had the ID of **AC5189**.

## History

### Background

Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, the Moth was the name of several airplanes used by *Adventurers Club* member Hathaway Browne. Around 1938, an incarnation of this plane was crashed along the Nile river in the jungles near the African veldt of North Africa (near Chimp Country and Crocodile Country). A propeller from one of the plane's crashes would find its way into the possession of Trader Sam, a friend of Browne's.

In the 1940s, Browne used enchanted liquor from Sam's bar to serve as fuel for his plane. In the late July of 1942, Browne crashed the plane in Cleveland, Ohio.

### Development history

The moth is named for the real-life *de Havilland DH.60 Moth* which was a British biplane created in 1925. The name of this plane was highly racist, being named for slurs against Romani people and which is often affiliated with sneakiness and crime, stereotypes of Romani people perpetuated by white Europeans.

Ironically, the moth was integrated in the Magic Kingdom's Jungle Cruise during a 2021 refurbishment which was supposedly aimed at removing racism from the attraction. This Moth was created by rebranding the downed *Lockheed Electra 12A*. This plane was created from the backside of an allegedly authentic prop from the film *Casablanca* which had its frontside used in the defunct *Great Movie Ride*.

## Jungle Cruise appearances

## Trivia

* The ID on Hathaway Browne's plane is, "AC5189" which is a reference to the Adventurers Club (AC) which 05/01/1989 is the date that the Adventurers Club opened in Walt Disney World.
* Skippers would sometimes reference being employed by the JNC after surviving the crash in Hathaway Browne's plane.

Chachapoyan Fertility Idol

**The Chachapoyan Fertility Idol** also known as the **Idol of the Warriors** or **Idol of the Chachapoyan Warriors** is an object from the film *Raiders of the Lost Ark* (1981).

## Description

This was a solid-gold idol depicting the Chachapoyan goddess of fertility Pachamama.

## History

### Background

This fertility-idol was created around 64 BC by the Chachapoyan tribe of modern Peru. It was hidden away by priests in the Temple of the Chachapoyan Warriors. The temple would be filled with booby-traps and be used for rites-of-passage for warriors of the Chachapoyan tribe.

In 1936, the idol was sought after by archaeologist Indiana Jones who managed to conquer the temple's booby-traps and claim the item. Following this, the temple was reclaimed by the Chachapoyan tribe after having been aided by Jones' rival, the evil René Emile Belloq. Following this, Belloq stole the idol from the tribe and sold it off to wealthy antiques-dealer Saad Hassim in Marrakesh.

At some point following 1946, Indiana located the idol and sent his aviator Jock Lindsey to Marrakesh to recover it. Jock succeeded and had the idol in his bar within the Floridian town of Disney Springs by 1955 if not later.

## Jungle Cruise appearances

### Jungle Cruise

#### Jungle River Cruise: Curse of the Emerald Trinity

The fertility idol is referenced in the Daily Colonial Journal newspaper as having been sought after by Professor Garrett Reed, an evil member of the *Society of Explorers and Adventurers*. However, this is likely referring to a different in-continuity idol due to this fight having transpired prior to Reed's death in 1931 and having had a different outcome.

### Other connections

## History

### Background

This boathouse was a base for the Jungle Navigation Company in 1930s.

The jungle subsequently turned on the skipper too who was revealed to have stolen one of the jewels. The boat narrowly escaped murderous plants, the resurrected "Voodoo" tribe, and zombies emerging from the water. Eventually the boat entered the Canyon of the Gods where the canyon's fire and water deity reclaimed the stolen jewel. The gods attempted to kill those aboard the boat only for the boat to escape to the JNC boathouse.

Colonel Williamson

**Colonel Williamson** is a character from the Magic Kingdom's *Jungle Cruise*.

Charles Houghton

**Charles Houghton** is a character from the Jungle Cruise film.

## History

### Biography

Charles Houghton was an explorer, cartographer, and writer in the latter end of the 19th century who had a wife and two children, Lily and MacGregor. Charles often told Lily stories of the Tears of the Moon tree, using a map of the Amazon rainforest created by conquistador Francisco Lopez de Heredia. Sometime in his life, Charles took his two children to many places around the world on his expeditions, including Bhutan and Delhi. Charles presumably died when his children were relatively young, their uncle becoming subsequent patriarch of the family.

A newspaper article about Lily Houghton's expedition to find the Tears of the Moon mentions Charles Houghton and his expeditions. According to the article, Charles was most famous for his trip to the Americas where he performed a round trip from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean in just 16 days. He began the trip in 1887 with 14 men and had the intention of mapping the entire region.

   Charles' peers described him as a misanthrope. Apparently he had become bewildered by his voyages, and began to communicate less with his colleagues back in London. On his last voyage, he never returned to England and was declared dead.

## Trivia

* The name Charles might be an allusion to the Jungle Cruise's inspiration *The African Queen* (1951) where one of the leads is named Charlie Allnut.
* Most of what we know about Charles Houghton, including his name, comes from a newspaper article that is shown very briefly right after Lily and MacGregor arrive in Porto Velho. The article is held by one of Prince Joachim's henchmen, Middlepart, and also features a portrait of Lily in London.

—Company slogan

## Description

Aero-Casablanca is an airline service which was active during the 1930s. The catchphrase of Aero-Casablanca was, " *the skies of Aero Casablanca: the airline no one comes back on*".

Amongst their offerings was, "*Aero Casablanca's Belgian Congo River tour*" that transported passengers to the Congo for a minimum of twenty-five years.

## History

### Background

Aero-Casablanca was a tourism airline service during the mid-late 1930s. By around 1938, they sponsored *Disney Broadcasting Company* and by extension, their broadcast *AWOL Airwaves*. One of their airplanes also crashed in the jungles along the Nile in North Africa (nearby Crocodile Country and Umbala Territory), supposedly with a passenger aboard that went on to become a skipper for the colonial Jungle Navigation Company.

### Development history

Aero-Casablanca is a tribute to the romance film *Casablanca* (1942). This film was set-designed by Disney imagineer Harper Goff who was one of the original imagineers behind the Jungle Cruise. Disney purchased an allegedly authentic prop from the film in the form of a *Lockheed Electra 12A* used for the defunct attraction *The Great Movie Ride*. The backside of this plane was placed in the Magic Kingdom's Jungle Cruise as a wrecked airplane in the Congo. In 2021, the plane was retconned into belonging to Hathaway Browne, a character from Pleasure Island.

## Appearances

### Jungle Cruise

Albert Awol advertises Aero-Casablanca in his broadcast. On the actual ride, boats pass by an airplane implied to belong to Aero-Casablanca.

## Trivia

* The service's tag-line saying no-one comes back from their tours could reference the wrecked plane along the Jungle Cruise and/or how in Casablanca, Ilsa and Rick's final meeting was before she boarded the plane.
* Skippers would sometimes reference being employed by the JNC after surviving the crash.
