So somebody used my name and email to book themselves a room at a Days Inn in Roanoke Virginia (A place I am notably not in) and now it’s 10:00 and I’m trying to figure who the hell booked that. It can never just be a normal day

What a bizarre crime. Hopefully that gets resolved soon.

I have DisneyMan1 to thank for introducing me to Douglas's art when added DisneySky for the East Coast.

For people too scared to enjoy the brilliance that is CATS (2019), to celebrate the 40th anniversary, the stage show is available for the next 24 hours or so!

Hoo boy, that dreaded film that I have never watched (thankfully). I won’t be participating in this, just watching the action.

This was a great season! I really liked the prompt options that is something that was brand-new at the time and now has become a staple of the game in a way. I also remember for the playoffs there were seeds and just like March Madness which was going on around the same time @pix the 8th seed beat me the 1 seed in the playoffs!

How the heck did this screen cap occur to you
It took me like 15 seconds to remember what it was from

Imagine you just like knock on their door and they’re like
“who are you?”
“I think you know.”

Lindsey Ellis did a youtube video on Why Cats. It covers both the stage show and the movie.

That's a very cool place for a 5th park. Sounds a lot like Inventus too!

After a two-year long hiatus, So, You Want to be an Imagineer made its triumphant return for it's 18th season. Following the success of Sorcerer's Apprentice Season 6, and a now very-active Imagineering board, Season 18 began, becoming far and away the most successful WDWMagic season. Contestants were initially split into three teams, each named after this current console generation's code names - Team Citra, Team Durango, and Team Orbis.

The season went off (mostly) without a hitch, allowing the projects themselves to really shine. To editorialize briefly, Season 18 absolutely saw some of the strongest projects of the game from Islands of Adventure and Curse of the Wendigo to The Incredibles Musical (from which came the season's unofficial theme song, written by @Pi on my Cake and myself) and The Enchanted Palace.

The only real controversy to have come up during the season was the final project. The initial task was for the three finalists to work together to create a park based off of a single IP. The judges thought they were being cool and changed the prompt to force the finalists to make a theme park based around the hit musical and Oscar-snubbed film "CATS." After private back and forth, the finalists ended up making a joke project and hid their actual project, a highly immersive Red Dead Redemption theme park, at the end.

In the end, @JokersWild was crowned the winner, becoming the second two-time winner.
