Disneyland Stagecoach

You will find this stagecoach is in a fenced-off area right next to the walkway on the way to Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland. A stagecoach ride was part of Disneyland on opening day but even though the colors are the same as some of those coaches this is not one of the original ones .

“Wilderness Expeditions and Delivery Service” is painted on the door. When abbreviated, this is the WED Service, with “WED” referring to Walter Elias Disney. WED Enterprises was also the original name for Walt Disney Imagineering. Wilderness Expeditions and Delivery Service is a fictional organization connected to the Society of Explorers and Adventurers (S.E.A.) which is referenced across Disney Parks. The luggage tag sticking out of the back is addressed to Jason Chandler. He is a fictional character who was to have been the founder of Discovery Bay, a land proposed by Imagineer Tony Baxter that never came to be. Chandler was incorporated into S.E.A. history as the organization’s president and the inventor of the drill used at Big Thunder Mountain. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is itself said to be in the town of Rainbow Ridge. The original Disneyland stagecoach ride was at one point known as Rainbow Mountain Stagecoach Ride.

The stagecoach is near Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, which is where Discovery Bay would have been. Find more S.E.A. references in the Adventureland Treehouse.
