I’m sure other people will post it but hey

Eddie Sotto, former Imagineer who shaped modern theme parks, dies at 67

We're officially on holiday break today until Jan 5, so while you can't order things from our shop right now you CAN look at them here and yearn for the day we reopen (Jan 5). Enjoy the visage of these two sporty fish bags.

It's been a long time since I've published one of my in-depth histories, but the newest entry is here – the full story of WALT DISNEY STUDIOS PARK at Disneyland Paris. It's an absolutely gargantuan feature, but if anyone will read it, I know it's you all. parklore.com/main/walt-disney-studios

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

I made a short holiday Gift Guide for all of your Secret Santas! 🎁 You can check it all out at Hi-Brandon.com 🧑‍💻

What to get for the person who has everything? Why not visit the Drawmarket shoppe and get them something they absolutely do NOT want. Things is on sale now! drawmark.threadless.com

These charming wooden ornaments will be available this Thursday, 9AM PST/12 PM EST 🎄✨ Each one designed and signed by yours truly!

The Poseidon's Fury temple was designed to look as if it could collapse at any moment. Why? According to legend, an earthquake fractured the temple, split the ground, and ruined the statue, which links back to actual history. Follow along for its environmental storytelling. 🧵

Some additional Dinoland treasures I made - a bathroom key, a mission patch, business cards from Dinoland's residents and postcards from The Dino Institute's gift shop. My favourite detail was the sun-bleaching onto Chester & Hester's cards to look like it had been sat in their garage for 20 years.

I saw that people came in with chalk today to reinstall it guerrilla style.

Remember when I shared my Halloween-ified 25th Anniversary Cinderella Castle Cake illustration, and then a few days later @anakbeltran.bsky.social shared her masterful 3D model of it??? A gesture sweet enough to rival this 189-foot-tall candy-coated monstrosity!

Happy 70th Anniversary, Disneyland! ✨ Julie Andrews once said that Disneyland was "Walt's gift to a weary world," and I believe that is more true now than ever. The world changes - even Walt's small park has and will continue to change - yet Disneyland remains a stalwart beacon of joy and optimism.

Happy 70th, Disneyland 🏰

This is my digital painting "restoration" of a lesser-known piece of Sleeping Beauty Castle concept art by the one and only Herb Ryman. It's the home page of Park Lore, and the perfect thing I can contribute to our celebration of this happy place. Happy 70th, Disneyland!

Start the thing. Do it anyway. It’s what we’ve done for 16 years. So what if it doesn’t work? You won’t know unless you try. And no, this wasn’t written by AI. But our founder Katy, half baked on fizz, watching Wimbledon 👀 🎾

This is an incredible exercise in Armchair-Imagineering, and I strongly urge you to read through the entire thing. It’s a well-crafted “what if” for the future of Epic Universe—and one I’d love to visit.

I have this bandana design up for preorder in order to figure out how many I’ll need to order! It’s going to be a two tone screenprint on white cotton - super jazzed about these and am hoping to place the order next weekend 🐟 #bsnm 🐡🦑 www.microbiomearts.com/product/big-...

I don't think they'll open a fifth gate – maybe ever! – but if they do I imagine it would be "Islands of Adventure, but Disney" – IP lands around a central lagoon. I drafted what I think that would look like, so if you subtract TRON and Galaxy's Edge, maybe this! 😝 parklore.com/main/fantastic-worlds
