What DIsney was going for
St Pancras Hotel reopens in London, after 76 years as various kinds of ruin and government office. The History Blog gives you the story about how it was a victim of changing ideas of comfort, social space and social organisation around the turn of the 20th century. The timing looks exactly right to me for it to have been a major influence on Disneyland, though, and it's more or less contemporary with Neuschwanstein, which is Disney's acknowledged (but certainly incomplete) source. Here are photo galleries from the current owner, Marriott, and from the Telegraph, which shows you what it has looked like in the past.
The station behind and beneath this neo-Gothic confection is now the kind of popomo horror London is full of: 20 pound sandwiches and Modern British pastries in boutique shops that celebrate old brickwork by covering it with minimal glass panels - the idea is you should be able to easily mentally subtract all traces of the 21st century and look at the Old and Authentic fabric of the building underneath. The unfortunate but perhaps "truthful" result is that the 21st century appears to be a bunch of floating, temporary-looking signs in abstract space channeling you down a narrow corridor where you certainly can't touch any of that Authentic stuff. But you can buy cuddly bears wearing tartan, if you still have some money, which presupposes you brought your lunch with you.
