First a stop in the real Mexico. Then a stop at EPCOT Mexico! Vacation starts now! My shop is still open, but shipping will be delayed by a week. Please give me lots to do when I’m back! designpavilion.etsy.com

One of the worst things that can happen is being sick for a flight. I had this happen a few years ago on a work trip. My ears wouldn’t pop and I was basically deaf for 3 days. But here we go I guess… 🤧

What do we think the odds are that I’ll actually make it down to Disney World and back home next week with this flight garbage? 😒

Ok enough of that Halloween nonsense. It’s officially the Christmas season! Merry Menagerie animal lanterns are in my Etsy shop! designpavilion.etsy.com

Early construction of Epcot Center and Spaceship Earth. If you look closely at SSE you can see the spiral of the ride track and show scenes working slowly up the famous geodesic sphere.

Happy Halloween! 🎃 🦉

The holiday lanterns are back! 😊

Rise and shine! Time to get up and start the harvest! 🌾 EPCOT torches in my shop === designpavilion.etsy.com

Everyone’s counting down to Halloween next week, but did you know we’re exactly 2 months to Christmas?🎄 A few IllumiNations globes are still available in my shop! designpavilion.etsy.com

What kinds of designs do you want to see from me this holiday season? I’ve put out a bunch of new things the last few months, but nothing has really caught on.

Watched the live action How to Train Your Dragon last night. The next logical addition at Epic Universe is obviously a Flight of Passage clone where you ride a dragon. You could probably even use some of the scenes directly from the movie.

One of the only pictures I took in the Apollo Room at the Louvre was this emerald necklace and earrings commissioned by Napoleon because it was my wife’s favorite thing in the exhibit. Crazy to think they’re probably gone forever.

Last chance to take advantage of my sale!

Wondering what these poles are from? On EPCOT Center’s opening day, they were part of the dedication ceremonies for each pavilion! And they were even used for attractions that opened later like Horizons and The Living Seas.

I have the classiest customers…

One month from today, I’ll be at EPCOT! 🌐 Excited to finally get back and try GEO-82! Bookmarks available in my shop, and opening day pendant poles coming soon!

Ok, well Tron:Ares was pretty cool. I don’t know why I was concerned about seeing it in 3D. That was obviously how it was meant to be seen, just like Legacy was. And man did that NIN soundtrack thump in the theater. Gave the movie a much more sinister feeling.

I was planning to go see Tron by myself tonight in IMAX. Now I realize the showing is also in 3D. Has anyone else done 3D for Tron: Ares yet? Worth it?

These are inspired by the logos on sticks carried around for EPCOT Center’s opening day! They were also used again for the openings of The Living Seas and Horizons. But I’m not sure if they were used outside of those three events.

Happy 43rd birthday to the park that redefined themed entertainment, EPCOT Center! Showcasing a vision of innovation and world culture. From Future World’s original pavilions to World Showcase’s global celebration, the park continues to evolve while honoring its legacy.

Since today we’re celebrating EPCOT’s opening day anniversary, here’s a sneak peek at something I’ve been working on. Coming soon!

It's October 1, aka EPCOT Center Day, and you know what that means! Time to put on your white bell-bottomed jumpsuit and DANCE DANCE DANCE!

Also finally got to see The Burning Blade burninate.

6 years ago today, we lost our beloved IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth 😭

This originally started with making a light up Frankenstein Castle. But it took a long time to cut and assemble. Would anyone be interested if I followed through on this?
