Instead of #IndianaJones et le #TempleduPéril, a DINOSAUR-themed coaster was once considered for Adventureland at #DisneylandParis, as this #ConceptArt by Imagineer John Horny shows. 🦖 #DLPtrivia ➡️ disneyandmore.blogspot.com/2013/08/a-tr...

Ever wondered how the transformation scene works in #TokyoDisneyland Enchanted Tale of #BeautyandtheBeast ride? ✨ In this video, Zach Wally recreates the effect in miniature. It uses pepper's ghost (to reflect the Beast) and a trapdoor (for the prince to appear from). ▶️ youtu.be/8JHqTrh_tVE?...

Did you know? The term "Imagineering" wasn't actually invented by Disney! 🤯 It was first used in 1942, in this advert for Alcoa (Aluminium Company of America) a whole 10 years before WDI (originally Walt Disney, Inc.) was founded! ➡️ tedium.co/2022/05/20/d...

"It'll be a backstage ride explaining how movies are shot... but all the information is wrong!" 😂 #JimHenson spoke briefly about The Great Muppet Movie Ride, in this Dateline #WaltDisneyWorld video from 1990. 🐸🐷 ▶️ youtu.be/FyWwebPTnxU?...

Definitely watch CLIFFLIX's latest video about the destruction of #RiversofAmerica at #WaltDisneyWorld. He's absolutely right! 🙌 "Not every square foot in this park needs to be a Lightning Lane or retail revenue generating section. This attraction is all about vibes." ▶️ youtu.be/T_ZYia-lb7c?...
