RE: BoozeTown: The Disneyland For Drinkers That Never Happened
His antisocial behavior surfaced again when he was discharged in 1944 for attempting to burn down the officer’s club

- Disneyland DOES have a drinking club...actually a restaurant that serves booze...Club 33
Mel also was a firm believer in the legalization of gambling and prostitution, things that adults themselves should be able to decide to participate in or not.
A true visionary. Too bad he couldn't have put the town together.
Sure, we all think about it but actually trying to do it is another matter altogether.
Yes but Club 33 didn't open until 1967 - after Mel died. It is like his idea for the secret club for famous people, maybe they heard about it from Mel! :D
