I think in order to do that Disneyland/California Adventure would need to create an attraction titled “FUCK YOU SAN FRANCISCO” where patrons must try to escape a homeless infested town and be drowned in fog.

I love this town, but it’s shit like this and the “staple” bicycle rack debate that make me even more bitter.

As a woman who grew up in the 80s/90s, The Little Mermaid was a pretty critical part of my childhood, and the Palace of Fine Arts is awesome, so why not put these two things together? Its like peanut butter and jelly! Or something. Except peanut butter is disgusting but you get what I’m saying.

Architecture (all art?!) is all about copying. The PoFA itself shamelessly stole historical architectural motifs, and that’s exactly what Disney has always done. If you want to talk about how The Little Mermaid as a disgustingly anti-feminist horror story (even without the penis palace), you’ll get my “hell yeah,” but arguments about architectural stealing and middle finger giving hold no water.
