Main Street windows

PurpleChez · 04-22-2008, 04:09 PM

During our most recent WDW visit (earlier this month) I was psyched to notice the main street window "credits" for "Pseudonym Real Estate", and the CM in the shop below the windows confirmed that the names attached to it were those of the men who secretly bought up the WDW property in the mid 1960s. The window honoring Walt's dad, Elias, was nearby. This was actually on the "cross street" (Church Street?), where the sillouhette artists set up.

Does anybody know of a comprehensive listing of the names and other information on the Main Street windows, which I have seen described as the "opening credits" of the magic kingdom?

Lou's audio guide also goes through many of the window descriptions.
