Image via CrunchBase Philadelphia Inquirer | 06/10/2009. Contrary to a widely circulating gag, Disney is NOT eyeing Bellmawr, N.J., for a new historical theme park called Disney's America. Not truth to it, said two Bellmawr Borough Hall staffers. The rumor, though, did prompt a TV camera crew to trek to the Camden County burg to investigate, and lead to a note on Wikipedia's entry for "Disney's America" that "this was only a rumor." Apparently, as an April Fool's joke, someone rewrote a 1993 press release about a proposed Virginia project. Read more →
