February
February 27--Dorothea Holt Redmond dies at 98. In 1964, she joined what is now known as Walt Disney Imagineering and helped envision elements of Disneyland and Disney World. Disney died in 1966 before the elaborate New Orleans Square hideaway she designed with him could be completed. For decades, the space was used as a gallery. Following Redmond's original renderings, the park recently restored the apartment above Pirates of the Caribbean and turned it into the Disneyland Dream Suite, where randomly chosen park visitors can stay overnight. Redmond also designed the interior and exterior settings of many restaurants and shops in New Orleans Square.
