From the Disneyland Information Guide at:
http://www.mouseplanet.com/al/docs/update.htm
"The [LEGO attraction playset] toys were rumored to be part of a nation-wide
marketing launch for Disneyland's 50th anniversary. [Among some of the
concepts are a Disneyland castle, and Pirates of the Caribbean, Tarzan's
Treehouse and Big Thunder playsets.]
There were even ideas of building a whole Lego Disneyland that would tour
the country to promote both Disneyland's 50th and the new product launch -
it was to be called "Building the Dream, Disneyland's 50th Anniversary."
Isn't that cool! [They appear] awesome."
I know my wife (a big Disney fan) has been hoping LEGO would do this for a
while.

I'd be interested in the Space Mountain playset, if they could come up with
a way to make one!

I'm thinking something like the Tower of Terror or Star Tours (done with
Technic style mechanics)
Space Mountain could be done if there was a way to use flex cables to make a
track. And if they did that, Rockn Roller Coaster could be done.
And this would be a GREAT excuse to pull out the Monorail...

So anyone know any links to any Disney related Lego creations?

'fraid not. I don't know any more than I've already said. But, judging by
the "limitless" use of elements, I think they look suspiciously like models
I've seen in The Mall of America and traveling truck shows.
My main reason for sharing was for the coolness of the Mountain and
Treehouse models. Those two make me drool. they have so many great pieces,
and their design/building really impresses me.
I love how the little figs are visitors in the theme park! And the tracks of
the ride are really clever. But would they actually work?
I love the distorted photography of the mountain set. And the Pirate picture
is so moody. They did a great job of capturing the essence of theme-park
experience without excessive mechanics. (IMHO)
