High-res WDI slide scan of model for Brava Centauri’s weightless gym. Horizons, EPCOT.

Guess who got a front row seat to see The Beach Boys in Colonial Williamsburg this June?

My third-favorite thing at Aulani is the rocks. Like AK's Tree Of Life, there are surprise animals carved into all of the rock/lava formations. Some are easy, some are hard, and all are amazing. Generally, if you see anything round and off-colored, it's an eye — then go on from there.

Holy smokes!! At last!! Directed by Murray Lerner, of Magic Journeys fame.

The gnarly burlwood posts that Walt Disney purchased on a trip to Colorado (?) and installed in front of the Shooting Gallery have long been replaced by fiberglass replicas, but what about the one inside the Trading Post? Looks real to me! Somehow I’ve overlooked this artifact all these years!

Cookie made Big Thunder Ranch bbq ribs and coleslaw! (Also bbq sauce, mac and cheese, and carrots)

Snow Day Disneyland Beef Stew! (And garlic bread. And mint juleps)

I've seen a photo going around where SeaWorld/Busch parks are now charging a 9% surcharge on everything (up from 5%). I thought they had lowered prices.

*NINE PERCENT* SURCHARGE AT SEAWORLD. 9 PERCENT. WHAT THE FUCKEROONI AND CHEESE

CUTENESS ALERT - Special photo ops for Duffy and Friends plush have been set up around Hong Kong Disneyland for ‘Duffy and Friends Play Days’ in iconic locations, including the Castle of Magical Dreams, Main Street Station, Adventureland, Grizzly Gulch and Mystic Point.

Snow day!

Andrew Jackson’s Regimental Headquarters in Fort Wilderness (nice example of edutainment). Images and postcard are hard to find. Bought postcard a few years back. Will do a high-res scan. Some props from this scene ended up in the mansion… longforgottenhauntedmansion.blogspot.com/2010/09/jean...

A tribute to The Rivers of America and the Liberty Square Riverboat (open to see more)

What’s the point of anything anymore.

those 1973 lamp globes, tho 🤩
