One eyebrow-raising moment for me during Tom Morris’s presentation was when he mentioned Disneyland unbuilt International Street. New-to-me was that it was AKA: “Magic Street” because depending on the direction the guest approached the street, it would appear they were in a different country.

Alright, this Disneyland Forever edit from 5y ago is incredible. But I’m in awe of the closing shot/edit. Superb. youtu.be/G6_W-z4g0RM?...

Just finished Wonder Man and truly loved it. It’s a very good watch with some greet performances. A true standalone that sadly most won’t watch.

Keep DCA weird

Quality theming right here, and I’m not being facetious. IYKYK

Well, this one is off to a slow start, but I really enjoyed making it. Not the best audio but an enjoyable experience to throw up on the screen as background. youtu.be/EyZBHog5Pts?...

I didn’t realize they had these beers at the popcorn cart at grizzly Peak, nor did I know you could mobile order!

Next video on Park Sensory is some simple Main Street sights and sounds. I really enjoyed this little moment with Donald. Simple and pure.

"now we're dreaming in widescreen!"

One of my 5-yr-olds has found @jaimemaas.bsky.social Tinkerbell OG flight path videos and… is obsessed.

No one show Michael Eisner what they did to the fountain tiles at the Morocco pavilion…

I’m not someone that thinks Eisner would still be a great CEO, but boy are these interviews great!!

Randomly catching a butterfly in some random Main Street footage I took. 😃

If anyone wants to nerd out on the current status of the Queen Mary and all the repairs being done currently, check this out:

Wondrous Journeys seriously does it for me every single time.

This guy cheered after the pre-show. Jumped up and down in pure joy when we got off. Then pointed when we got outside and said “that’s my favorite ride!“

I feel like animation Academy is now the most popular attraction at DCA

“The world would be a better place if it had a little more ska in it.” If you were at all part of the ska scene in the 90s, you need to watch this doc from several years ago.

Posting into the abyss tonight. No one likely cares, but I’m doing some late night work and listening to some screamo and it always brings me “new life”. Was feeling this one tonight.

I have a visceral reaction to the 2001 Disneyland Resort merchandise bags (derogatory).

One side of the grass patch has returned in front of the GCH pool. The new club lounge is coming along.

Bad day for the Pixar Place Hotel pool to be closed for refurb. I was going to Small Bytes, but that’s closed too. 🥴

It’s perfect in the shade in Grizzly Peak Recreation area, but stay clear of that performance corridor. 🥵

Cute, but these things, especially Mickey, must fade fast!

I’m sorry, but Avengers Campus needs some new music.

Haunted Mansion OG is back, audio is loud (in a good way), and the best it has ever sounded.

When it’s a run Disney weekend and you need a cup of coffee, and every spot has extremely long lines, including the Disneyland hotel coffee house that you cant order for 60+ minutes on mobile order… just come to Tiendita. Got a nice breakfast burrito too.

Lego Store display update

My kid who LOVES watching Disney fireworks on YouTube discovered this channel that has recreated all of them with a firework generator and they are really well done. If you never got a chance to watch Imagine… here’s a good representation of it.

New Video/Recording: Buena Vista Street Music Loop & Ambience This is the first time I’ve added some video (think b-roll) as an added companion to the audio and was pretty happy with it. I hope to do more like this.

Man, the original Pirates of the Caribbean really does hold up. Amazing it’s 23 years old.

The wildest part of DCA 1.0 was that the entire park was set in present day.

I didn’t realize how much I needed this right now.

Lunar new year decorations along San Francisco Street.

Mark Twain Appreciation dump

Trainspotting

Different views for future ambiance videos.

G’mornin’ officer. Playing around with some video this morning. Shot in LOG and haven’t properly edited this yet.

Doing some playing this morning. 1/2

On an expected busy Sunday at Disneyland, the park closes early for a hard ticketed Sweethearts event, meaning no fireworks, no F!, and DCA still closes at 9pm. 🫤

Ohhh no, say it ain’t so Magnolia Golf Course. 🤦‍♂️ youtu.be/YkWl8QBDU4w...

My God… when that Mark Twain bell rings for the first time on Disneyland Handcrafted. 🔔🥹

Sure, Disneyland Handcrafted was designed to watch on a larger screen… it’s truly cinema at times, but the foley work and sound mixing warrants a headphone experience. It’s truly captivating.

Why do I remember that cup one so well?!?

The crowds in the Animation Building were unbearable on Sunday, and since no one bothers to visit Sorcerer’s Workshop, we stopped for a spell and admired the hanging decor.

What a great evening. We made the best of the crowds and had one final send off to Christmas.

I understand that this won’t be widely watched, but I thought I’d share something a bit different. If you’re in the mood for some modern Latin music and relaxed bar vibes, here you go. Downtown Disney - Paseo Restaurant Music | Chill Bar Ambience youtu.be/OS3hqs51ix8

What happened to me?! Teenage Joel would be making fun of me for loving 80s synthwave music. Never would I have thought I would be regularly listening this, but sure does help with late night productivity. 😝

Delicious.

Brewport Tap House before Foo Fighters tonight! Wild Wednesday for me. Haha.
