To the Staff at Parkeology.com, I wasn’t going to say anything, but then Scales had to open his big mouth about being left out, and I felt obliged to write in with yet another correction to your ill-conceived article about WDW Sea Serpents. Scales feels slighted because he is the largest Sea Serpent on property. […]

Finding Disney Magic (No, Not the Cruise Ship)
I’d love to be able to take credit for this next post, but it’s actually by a good friend of mine. (“Yes!” you say. “Finally, someone good to read.”) We will call him Teevtee, in order to enhance his mysteriosity. Plus, I sometimes still call him that, because that’s how I first knew him. […]
Sea Serpent Redux
To the Staff of Parkeology.com, It has come to my attention that you recently ran one of your little articles about Walt Disney World family of sea serpents. I guess it was cute. I didn’t really read the whole thing. I must, however, take exception with your research practices. Maybe you just had an off […]
Proud History of Sea Serpents
Walt Disney World seems to have a great fondness for sea serpents. There are several that have appeared in various locations throughout the property. The most fanciful serpent prowls the waters of the castle moat in Magic Kingdom. At one time, he had a great fondness for Swan Boats, but now he just suns himself […]
Lions, check. Tigers, check.
Hidden Mickeys are such a big deal now for casual fans. But these aren’t really secrets anymore, not with Disney publishing big yellow books on how to find them. No, the real money is in finding tributes to other lesser known characters (and no, you can’t just put a bow on it and call it […]
Elephants Are The Future
I had forgotten all about this strange little episode in Walt Disney World history until a friend of mine reminded me about the Epcot space elephants. Yes, you read that correctly. Elephants invaded Epcot for a circus spectacular sometime in the mid 80s, and it is indeed everything you could hope for. The circus was […]
It’s Tough to Be A Bug’s Exit Sign is Its Best Effect
The in-theater effects in “It’s Tough to Be a Bug” are some of the best around, but the greatest is the very last one involving the exit sign
Footprints in Cement
Disney’s Hollywood Studios likes to make a big deal out of the celebrity handprints around the Chinese Theater. And I’ve already called out the handprints of famous animators that were once easily accessible at the Animation Tour. But there are even more celebrity footprints over by Echo Lake, and most people just walk right over […]
Beware of Sea Serpents on Your Cruise
Even casual Disney fans know about the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Submarine Voyage that used to exist in Fantasyland’s north corner. And if you don’t, you should think twice before roaming around that Pooh Playground. It’s holy ground. The subs were a great example of the type of incredible, fantastic adventure that Disney was […]
