So I made a very small mark on Fantasmic 2.0. I was working the OG Fan! with a friend of mine. If you listen closely to Ursula in the original, she doesn't say "Ursula will take matters into her own tentacles!" (although that's the intended line). Instead, she clearly says "testicles" (1/4)

The Opry shop was stacked with great merch for the centennial, including OPRYLAND and HEE HAW

Saw me a Beatle last night: Billy Shears, making his Opry debut

Y’all don’t understand how good these were.

Thrilled to be co-presenting with @davecobb.com and Dapper Danielle Kelly about the good, the bad, and the buzzworthy of theme park influencing at this year's Themed Entertainment Association INSPIRE conference!

Anyone planning to pay their respects to Muppet*Vision 3D or Rivers of America/Tom Sawyer Island should probably book trips now.

Slides scans from Epcot in 1984! (Guess who has a slide digitizer at their new job?)

It took six weeks and eBay stepping in, but I can finally add this to the collection

Virtual Queue is bad for visitors and reason enough for it to go. But for locals, it kinda rocked? Set an alarm, get a VQ (or not), then go back to sleep. I rode Guardians a dozen times when I would not have waited in standby. Getting La Creperie’s cauliflower soup made it a full (& cheap!) outing

GO TO JELLYROLLS *TONIGHT* My social anxiety prevented me from going for 10 yrs. I finally got the nerve to visit 3 days before moving out of FL; it was some of the most fun I’ve ever had. Cast Members get in free on Sundays, so you get deepcuts like The Interrogation Song from Muppets Most Wanted

Her: So do you work out? Me: Yeah I’m training for a triathlon

NEW: The Artist Spotlight series continues with a look at @tgrahammemories.bsky.social and the AMAZING creations of his Theme Park Preservation Society. Come for the E-Ticket art, but stay for a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how they came to life. LINK: touringplans.com/blog/saturda...

Can anyone guess where I’m having Valentine’s dinner?

This is a photo of the last time you were happy and care-free.
