It is a stylized version of the Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty Castles. Viewers often chuckle because the water effect makes it look as if you would have to swim to get into the castle.

One of the earliest Disney pins I have seen is a Mickey Mouse Chums pin made in England in the 1930s; there is an example of it on display in the Archives. But actual pin trading at the parks began at Walt Disney World in 1999, and at Disneyland the following year.

I knew Eustace well—a very nice and talented man. Your items would indeed have value to collectors. If you want to sell, you might try eBay or an auction house like Profiles in History that specializes in movie memorabilia.

There are now 86 horses on the Carrousel, with horse No. 37 nicknamed by Magic Kingdom cast members as Cinderella’s horse (Cindy). It is the only horse with ornamentation on its tail. Horse No. 20, next to it, is named King, though cast members call it Prince Charming’s horse.

The concept artwork reproduced for Saving Mr. Banks was originally created between 1960 and 1963. Included were costume sketches and set drawings done by Tony Walton in 1963, along with storyboard sketches and artwork done by a variety of artists throughout the film’s development. The filmmakers did indeed check out the artwork.

Uncle Scrooge is a Disney character. Carl Barks was hired by Western Publishing Co. to write and draw some of the Disney comics they produced under license from Disney. It was while doing Donald Duck comics that he introduced Uncle Scrooge.
