Back then, WED relied on Disneyland’s staff shop for this kind of work, w/some direction from WED’s Fred Joerger. I’m guessing Bill Evans, who knew the location of every notable tree in So Cal, alerted them to the Moreton Fig. BTW, does it have a name, like Ella and Robert? … Mort?

No, I think he must’ve worked on it all the way through installation because there was a lot to oversee, from the show set drawings and scene fabrication, to the figures and their programming. He might have been assisted by someone like Walter Tyler or Bob Clatworthy.

I remember they did respond by bringing out that huge boxed tree to hide SM.
Funny, that video that Randy B wrote is cringy in a few places now, whereas it was canon for me once upon a time!
Visual intrusions and anachronisms are all over the park, but you know the bad ones when you see them!

The timing mentioned in the caption aligns with my memory of working on WoM only a couple of weeks after I started in January ‘79. But the hot air balloon scene that I somewhat ideated for WoM must’ve overwritten my memory of this other scene,
