During the 19th century, the Wilderness Expeditions and Delivery service was a transportation and delivery organization. They operated in the Big Thunder region, namely Rainbow Ridge and predominately utilized stagecoaches.
Development History[]
The organization is an homage to the Disneyland Stage lines/Rainbow Mountain Stagecoaches which operated as an attraction in Frontierland from 1955 to 1960 and passes through show-scenes used by Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland such as the Living Desert. The stagecoach seen on Big Thunder Trail is made to resemble these coaches and the name of the company is an allusion to WED (Walther Elias Disney) enterprises which created Disneyland.
