Attn fellow geriatric elder Millenials who also frequent thrift shops and antique stores: Bissell has been listening to us and not only make quality products, donate to animal rescue funds, but have now finally started designing their products in gorgeous drab olive green. Swoooon.

Is there anything in particular anyone would like to see at MK today? I tend to just do the same old stuff so it would be lovely to seek out something different!

Heading out to Magic Kingdom today!!! 🏰 🚝 🎩 ✨️

And now, a thing about neon: Pure neon gives a regular reddish-orange hue, like a standard "OPEN" sign. For shopping malls/arcades, pink is usually helium, and blue is argon with a bit of mercury vapor.

Whoops, I went ahead and watched some Horizons on-ride footage and made myself sad

I need to be in the habit of posting more-often here, I am deeply sorry. Here, have some EPCOT. :)

This "Keep EPCOT Weird" series is an absolute must-watch. I wish every single thing mentioned in each video would be brought back. youtube.com/@themeparkss...

My weird idea for Cosmic Rewind: Since all show elements are screens, it wouldn't be hard to have like a "Retro EPCOT" week where the attraction is temporarily converted back into The Universe of Energy, complete with the theme song starting when you hit the Big Bang reverse launch.

This is where I post from.

Basement #Disney Skyliner update: New motor arrived. Redesigned station shell, bull wheel & motor mount. Printed in “Hourglass Lake Blue.” Works great. Motor is 6v, 10 rpm, powered by 5v USB so it turns at ~8 rpm. Real Skyliner bull wheels are 15 rpm. Next step: add sound °o° #DisneyWorld #WDW

THE EPCOT WORLD CELEBRATION GARDENS GROUND LIGHTING HAS BEEN FIXED!!!

. Turns out if you go caroling, it has to be CHRISTMAS songs. The neighbours will call the cops if you sing "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails.

Omg!!!!!! The ground lights by CommuniCore Hall are finally on for the first time!!! 📸 via MagicbandManiac

ANNUAL REMINDER When watching The Muppet Christmas Carol on Disney+, make sure you select the Full Length Version! To watch the original, uncut version of the The Muppet Christmas Carol, go to Extras and choose the Full Length Version.

Thankful

I LOVE EPCOT CENTER!!! That's it, that's all I wanted to say. Have a great day!!

Those cheap spiral-bound notebooks used to be 89 cents, but are now $1.29. Oh well, time to fill one with ideas and brainstorms!!

Okay but hear me out: A nighttime bookstore in which the only lighting comes from lanterns, tea is served to all who enter, there is an emotional support owl in each section, and a buy one / get one free sale occurs during every full moon.

Post a non religious picture u think of as holy
