Welcome everyone. I'm in Port Orange,
0:02
Florida today and right down this road
0:05
lies Gamble Place at Spruce
0:13
Creek. I was here a couple years ago
0:13
with my friend Scott Yukan as we
0:15
explored the property. So, I'm going to
0:17
integrate some of that old footage into
0:20
this video.
0:28
Shortly after Snow White and the Seven
0:28
Dwarfs came out in the late30s, the
0:31
son-in-law of Gamble of Proctor and
0:33
Gamble fame created the Snow White
0:37
Cabin, the Seven Dwarfs Mine, the Witch
0:41
Hut, and the Wishing Well on this
0:44
property down this road. I'm going to go
0:47
check it out. Join me, shall you?
0:55
We don't even
0:55
ask you.
1:10
Got lots of wildlife out
1:12
here. Check this little guy out here.
1:15
How you doing, buddy? If you come out
1:17
here, be warned. Lots of
1:20
spiders. Gotten those firsthand. We'll
1:22
be able to make
1:23
Look at this spider. Scott almost put
1:25
his head right in the
1:27
spider. That would have been a bad call,
1:29
man.
1:55
As the story goes, Walt Disney heard of
1:55
the homage to the movie he created and
1:58
he had to see it firsthand. So, he flew
2:00
out here and actually stayed the night
2:02
in the
2:09
cottage. If you're a fan of the facts of
2:09
the creation of Disneyland and then
2:11
Disney World, you've probably seen the
2:12
interview with Walt talking about how he
2:14
visited the carousel in Griffith Park in
2:17
California with his daughters pre-D
2:19
Disneyland. I personally like to think
2:21
that because Walt stayed on the property
2:24
here, flew out here and visited this
2:27
location, this was the first time he
2:29
ever actually saw real constructed
2:32
physical aspects of his animated movies.
2:41
And I think in his mind maybe he
2:41
thought, hm, there might be something to
2:48
this huge mosquitoes out here. Look at
2:48
these things swarming
2:51
around. Look at
2:57
that. There's a couple frogs in here.
2:57
Yeah,
2:59
there he is right there.
3:06
One of the things I really enjoyed and
3:06
to be honest with you blew my mind was
3:09
the Snow White wishing well. Just like
3:12
the one at Disneyland that I'm tossing
3:14
the coin in here. This was the very
3:17
first incarnation and building of the
3:20
wishing well. Walt built one at
3:22
Disneyland, stood beside it, but this
3:25
one was the very first creation lifelike
3:28
form of the wishing well.
3:32
My
3:33
king, my prince will be here.
3:39
Shortly after the passing of his wife,
3:41
Alfred K. Nippert, seen here, needed
3:44
something to focus his attention
3:52
on. After falling in love with the
3:52
animated classic, he decided he would
3:55
take the film cells from the movie and
3:58
build the recreation.
4:05
Once inside, it feels like you're in an
4:05
actual fairy tale. From the detailed
4:08
custom wooden doors to the knickknacks
4:11
all around the inside of the cottage,
4:13
and who could forget this wicked witch
4:16
cutout that used to sit outside in the
4:18
witch hut. Also are all seven dwarf beds
4:24
handcarved up on the ledge with their
4:27
names adorning the front of each
4:35
piece. Since its creation, this almost
4:35
forgotten about cottage has gone through
4:38
many changes. Sometimes open to the
4:41
public, sometimes closed to the public,
4:44
sometimes offering tours, and sometimes
4:47
not even accessible.
4:49
And more importantly, what happened to
4:52
the rare artifacts donated by Walt
4:55
Disney to the property? Rumor has it
4:58
that Walt actually sent life-size
5:01
stuffed creations of Snow White in each
5:04
of the seven dwarfs, which were placed
5:07
on all areas and in all rooms in the
5:11
cottage. They no longer exist.
5:16
There's even been changes in the last
5:17
couple decades. Whatever happened to
5:20
this story tells that this was donated
5:23
by Disney artists. And whatever happened
5:26
to the wooden characters climbing down
5:28
the staircase or back when you could
5:31
actually meet Snow White at the front
5:34
door? All those things of the past.
5:45
Come and get the juicy apple.
5:45
It's hard to believe this has been
5:47
standing here since
5:48
1938. All these cobwebs in
5:51
here. Mud Dober nests. Do you think
5:54
those cobwebs have been there since
5:56
1938? No, but I'm pretty sure these
5:58
apples have. Look how they've lost the
6:01
color
6:35
Think about all the fires they had here.
6:35
all the weenies they've roasted.
6:46
And what Snow White property would be
6:46
complete without the dwarf's mine shaft?
6:49
This twostory structure at one time had
6:53
a children's play area on the top floor.
