I don't want to stop making these (see previous skeet).

Sure, this is stupid. On the other hand, it's a delightful opportunity to spread chaos.

This little guy looked up from eating the grass to watch the fireworks. #RetroMagic #Epcot

These two make everything they touch wonderful beyond belief.

I propose that if a public figure is caught lying, we should require them to eat a much-too-spicy-for-mortals pepper in front of a live audience while they answer questions about their lie. And for each subsequent lie, another, spicier pepper. We can get the guy from Hot Ones to ask the questions.

Well, this isn't something I thought I'd see today. Ringo Starr on "Kid Pix":

Happy Anniversary, Epcot.

Experimental Prototype Cornhole Of Tomorrow

Related to previous post, I am really enjoying editing with DaVinchi Resolve. I’ve been an Adobe Premiere user since 1.0, Resolve is so much faster, on my computer at least.

I just finished up another evening of assembling PowerPoint presentations and editing videos. #RetroMagic is going to have some bangers again this year! If you love going to Disney parks and want to learn their history from the people who made it, it’s not too late to get a ticket: retromagic.net

Two things I’m looking forward to: 1) Sharing all the great stuff we have with everyone at #RetroMagic this weekend. 2) Getting 8 hours of sleep Sunday night for the first time in months. #WereGettingReadyForYou

Digging that Golden Girls logo treatment with the palm tree.

“Put that thing back where it came from, so help me” FTW

I’m really hoping another appliance company steps up to sponsor the Carousel of Progress so it had a real reason to exist again.

What is Figment’s briefcase? Can we get our picture with Remy’s knapsack? Nemo’s overnight bag?

You can’t fool me, that’s Pepe the King Prawn after his skin was burned off while trying to kill Sarah Connor.

Glancing quickly, I thought the tree was a mushroom cloud that everyone was running away from!

I really hope the barker bird parrot in Beak and Barrel says “Skibidi Toilet” now that Imagineering has stated that “the setting isn’t the story.”

The Big Thunder Mountain Railroad / Severance crossover we didn’t know we needed.

I’m not going to slag on Disney+ for promoting a show about “21 virgins and 1 beach,” but at least the “1 beach” could have been at Yacht and Beach Club. What ever happened to synergy?

I’m kind of surprised that almost nobody has mentioned that Terrance Stamp was in the Eddie Murphy “Haunted Mansion” movie, but I guess that just goes to show how memorable it turned out to be.

See, I wasn’t exaggerating about microclimates in the park.

If you like presentations about Disney’s parks and wish there were more at D23 Destination D, come to RetroMagic. It’s a whole weekend of Imagineers talking about the attractions they built! And bring a friend… retromagic.com

My favorite water tower was the one in my hometown of Sacramento at Cal Expo featuring a 185-foot mural by supergraphics artist Barbara Stauffacher Solomon which has since been painted over.

Well, there go my plans for a Thunder in Paradise reunion at RetroMagic 2028.

I thought the park wasn’t about making movies anymore?

If you could put any Disneyland onomatopoeia on a historical plaque, what would it be? I enjoy the “psss-psss clickety-clack” of the pneumatic cylinders in the tiki birds.

Here is the site that the AI built its copy from. The text on this page from 2014 includes the phrase "quite small" and has all the details of the spaces listed in only a slightly different way. Walt's Apartment - Duchess of Disneyland share.google/9xghPajoz2eK...

AA Walt riled up the foamers and dusters!

The smartest thing WED did while staging the Carousel of Progress was putting dad in a chair or on a stool in each scene. No one has been able to solve the issue(s) that make an orating standing figure look unrealistic.

I think they were trying to hit this pose with his left arm, but can’t really do it because the hand would touch the jacket cloth & wear a hole in it, and the harsh bend in the elbow would wear out the sleeve, so they faked it by putting it behind his back partially. It looks awkward from this angle

It’s an incredible likeness of Walt when he’s gathering nuts in his mouth to store for the winter.

I want to hear one of those Dave Feiten-type stories where the Walt audioanimatroic failed and threw a couch across the theater.

This is how you do themed design in this era. Not so much stuff that it’s a baroque cacophony, colorful, respectful of its source material, and fun.

Always with their “Fee Fie Fo Fum” and stealing geese that lay golden eggs. Every. Damn. Time.

This is probably only temporary, but these wait times are decent, at last.

What brave person is tech will step up and make a MechaRoosevelt?

As a person who is still recovering from the flooding Florida received during Hurricane Helene, I ask that you’d consider donating to this cause if you can. Getting a bit of water and food during the cleanup provides a welcome break and stores in the area will still be closed.

It’s going to be about tariffs now.

Disney has a great business model: • Attract tens of thousands of additional visitors to your park • Don’t build any new attractions for a decade • Close attractions • When you do open a new attraction, charge $30 a head on top of park admission to ride it for the next five years

Many people asked how Disney would “answer” Epic Universe. Now we know.

"Theme parks are not just the sum of their ride rosters, to be raced around and checked off one by one. They are as much defined by the spaces in between; by the absence of attractions, too." More here on why RoA matters: www.disneytouristblog.com/rivers-ameri...

When I was in my 20s in the 1990s and looked at photos of Disneyland in the 1950s, it seemed so quaint and charming. I get that feeling now when I see photos of Magic Kingdom from the ‘70s and ‘80s, despite the fact that I was running around the park then as a kid.

The Admiral Joe Fowler riverboat under construction.

I guess the cast canoe races will just be at Little Bryan now? Or maybe this is just the end of the tradition?

Proof that Aunt Polly’s really did used to have counter service on Magic Kingdom’s Tom Sawyer Island. Presented by Smuckers, no less!

What if Epic Universe had a portal to 1982? Baseball tees (and other stuff) and now up at my Dashery store. goawaygreen.dashery.com/products/771... #epicuniverse #retro #epcot
