Look but don’t touch

(As always click on the photos to enlarge and see the details… it’s worth it!) We recently got back from a trip to Tokyo and the Tokyo Disney Resort. Of course by “We” I mean the royal “we” because Shane is afraid to leave his bedroom. I often have to coax his out with toaster […]

Keeping It Under Their Hat.

(Please see update at the end of the post… thanks. All photos may be clicked on to enlarge) Great news! Disney really seems to be on a roll lately. The big surprise announcement of an Avatar themed addition to Disney’s Animal Kingdom was met with overwhelming support and anticipation. In the Magic Kingdom the new […]

Separated At Birth

If there is one thing we love around the Parkeology campus it’s Oscar time.  Shane really goes all out with the parties and predictions.  Not only does he demand to see every single nominated film (yes, even the foreign shorts) but he also dresses up as the nominated actors (and actresses) characters, one a day […]

Disney: Equal Opportunity Employers (unless you are a hairy Asian)

(A quick note… you can enlarge the scans to read them if you like.) With the recent news that Disney is now allowing hippies, beatniks and general good for nothing hooligans to run rampant while employed at the Disney parks, Parkeology thought we would take a look back at the salad days of the mid […]

Infinity in my pants!

OK… Just a quick image today that I blatantly stole from our friend Jerry (Who I think may have stolen it himself so take a hike Jerry)…   But seriously, I don’t care how big a company you are,  I don’t care how many projects you are juggling or how low priority something like this […]

Spaceship Mac

Updated – 10/5/11 Steve Jobs passed away today.  He had a massive influence on our society in general and perhaps Disney and it’s fans even more so.   I think Steve Jobs in many ways is a modern day Walt Disney.  His image is so closely tied to that of his company, and he has […]

The Problem With Avatar…

See, Disney can keep a secret after all. A bunch of rich white guys announce a way to make money off a bunch of poor blue people. I would guess that they have been scrambling to put this big Avatar deal together for some time, hoping perhaps to have it wrapped up for a big […]

The Top 10 Disney Elevators

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a great movie. Well, to be more accurate Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a great book that was made into a great movie (re-titled Willy Wonka and Chocolate Factory in an early attempt at product placement) that was then remade into a kind of mediocre movie. Sadly author […]

A guy named Joe…

Joe Rohde has become one of those guys… you know, the handful of Imagineers that have crossed over from being an anonymous hard hat wearing dude in a corner of the park to a niche celebrity. Lets call him a geek star, if you are into Disney then Joe is climbing the ladder of fame […]
