    “Something major” coming to DHS???

    I'm late on these, but please be serious. No one who has graduated from high school since 9/11 still knows or cares about Al Yankovic. Guys. I am begging y'all to stop suggesting Roger Rabbit. Some folks here talk about newer IPs not "aging well", then turn around and suggest Disney spend...

    News 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    Are we seriously questioning whether or not Mickey Mouse will be popular and well-known in 10 years? Kind of doesn't matter how he's drawn or pitched, it's Mickey Mouse.

    Bob Chapek's response to Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' bill

    To the casual observer, that might very well have been the case. However, it must be noted that Gen Z viewed Disney's acquisition of Fox negatively, and many people were beginning to lose trust after the Star Wars debacle. Disney has a habit of going through ten-year cycles where things will be...

    Bob Chapek's response to Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' bill

    I want to contribute my perspective as a gay man who was part of the last generation of folks to grow up pre-marriage legalization (I was in high school when the Obergefell decision was made). Growing up, I thought that gay people were abnormal, didn't exist near me, and were shunned members of...

    Bob Chapek's response to Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' bill

    As I pointed out yesterday before my comment was removed (not sure why?), the Florida legislature is considering repealing the 1967 Act, which created RCID. Here's a tweet posted this morning by a FL House Member: Like I've said previously, I don't care about politics. I'm a gay man, I'm not...

    Bob Chapek's response to Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' bill

    Weren't all the jobs Imagineering jobs? It doesn't make sense to move Imagineers to a state that does not have Disney Parks.

    News Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

    Exactly. It's crazy to see how Disney has manipulated and marketed itself towards my demographic. They play to the most base instincts, immaturity, and longing for nostalgia. This isn't so different from their marketing strategies in the past, but what is different is how Disney utilizes...

    News Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

    I spent my childhood visiting the parks with my grandparents, while my boyfriend had never been until our trip this past week. Those childhood visits are what caused me to fall in love with the parks, architecture, storytelling, even urbanism, and history--the very interests that have shaped my...

    News Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

    I have to give Bob Chapek credit. He finally made Epcot a park that kids will enjoy more than adults. I haven't been to WDW since June of 2008. I went this week to be there for and celebrate the 50th anniversary. I get that this anniversary was meant to be a celebration, but it feels more like...

    Walt Disney Studios Park: Fixing Eisner's Folly

    Hey. Yes! Sorry for the delay, all. I've been busy with finals and the ramping up of summer courses these past three weeks.

    The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Season 7: Fantasmic Journeys [CONCLUDED!]

    Oh boy, this map brings me back. Do you know what's crazy? I can remember the exact Jim Hill Podcast episodes I listened to while making this map.

    What If Disney: Disneyland Resort Builds an Better Second Gate

    Where did you find this image? I haven't seen this version of the DCA hub before. It's fascinating! Much better hub than what was ultimately built.

    Walt Lives: An Alternate History of the Walt Disney Company

    It ended up being a tie between options 2 and 3, so I decided to go with option 2 as it had a more "retro" look to me. Once this semester wraps up I'll have a few additions to this project. To hold you all off until then, here's a taste of what's in store:

    England Pavillion and Prince Philip

    Not what I said. And just ask Cromwell how well that worked out for him? The last time I checked, Cromwell's band of merry fools only lasted for 11 years. Parliament still receives its authority to govern from the Crown. Hence why the Prime Minister must be asked by the Crown to form a...

    England Pavillion and Prince Philip

    Elegant rebuttals, though still not entirely within the accurate scope of the available historical record. The injuries and usurpations outlined in both documents are all acts committed by Parliament. Parliament, of course, receives its power to govern from the monarch. The wording in both...

    England Pavillion and Prince Philip

    When American colonists rebelled in 1776, the United Kingdom had existed for almost 70 years. The U.K. was formed in 1707 with the passage of the first Acts of Union, which united the English and Scottish Parliaments. Wales had long before been annexed into England (Wales' identity as its polity...

    Yet another go at the Mickey ride at WDW's Magic Kingdom (feedback wanted)

    They launched a new series based on the 2010s designs on Disney+ I think last year. I believe there was a pause in production due to the ill-health and then passing of Minnie's original voice actress.

    England Pavillion and Prince Philip

    I love how an innocent question regarding attempts by WDW to remember the life of HRH the Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh turned into a three-page fight over the correct terminology for the United Kingdom. You love to see it.
