I think my favorite jab at Disney in Knights of Guinevere is the Walt expy being named Orville Park.

It’s literally the Schweitzer Falls joke from Jungle Cruise

“You see, just like Disneyland is named after Walt Disney, Park Planet is named after its founder Mr. Orville… Park.”

“And here at last we see Schweitzer Falls, named, of course, after the great Dr. Albert...Falls”

So we know all about Dr. Albert Falls, who has been established as a real character with Skipper Canteen and other related expansions, but why is it Schweitzer Falls? In-universe, and apart from the joke setup, I mean. Did Dr. Falls name it? Did he have an association with the famed humanitarian who did work in Africa (hey, @pureimagineering, what continent are the falls supposed to be on anyway)? Because now that makes it a joke about their clearly opposed moral philosophies, which is funny, but woosh.

Or perhaps someone else named it after their two favorite Dr. Alberts? What’s that person’s story? Maybe the skipper is simply a few trees short of a jungle and has their info mixed up? Mayhaps it’s a skipper’s subtle dig at their employer’s ego? But the possibilities run still further. For instance, perhaps I’m taking all of this a tad too seriously? I am, of course, but who can say, really? ;)

Regardless, there’s something mysterious lurking behind Schweitzer Falls, and I don’t mean the backside of water!
