then they would have sung the mickey mouse song in the car and clark would have done a mickey mouse impression. better that it was the moose.

It makes me wonder if they did the knock-off version of Wally-World just to be funny or if there were legal reasons they couldn't use Disney Land?

Also I wonder if Disneyland exists in the Vacation universe? lol :)

It's also funny that Marty Moose is much more similar to Goofy than to Mickey Mouse.

disney exists possibly in a a way because he says zipitydooda.
they were gonna use disneyland but they said that disney parks are open 365 a year and never close.
he does sound like goofy more, you're right.

And this was an R-rated Warner Bros. movie. There's no way Disney would've wanted their brand associated with a movie like this made by a totally different studio Lol.

To ME, also, Roy Wally bore a resemblance to Walt Disney, I dunno if that was intentional or not lol

Of course it was intentional, Walt Disney's brother in real life was named Roy Disney, that's where they got his first name from and they made the actor up to look like Walt.

Disney didn't give them approval to use their name so they did wally world instead.
