I’m just old enough to remember when “Tomorrow” meant peoplemovers, wrap-around movie screens, and acres of vanilla buildings. Now we live in a Stitched up Tomorrowland, where all the goodie 1970s futurism has been Monstered out of existence by a slew of animated Lightyears. Twenty years ago, Tom Morrow moved out and George Lucas aliens moved in. New […]
WDW46: The Video and the Official Parkeology Challenge
My how time flies. It’s been two months since we completed WDW46 and over a year and a half since we created the idea of riding every Walt Disney World ride in one day. We were interviewed on national radio shows, featured in newspapers and on podcasts and even turned up on both local and national news […]
Disney Animated Movies Canon – The New Regime
Well now. That was an adventure, wasn’t it? Things couldn’t be better than they are, here in the fabulous 2010s. Parkeology hit the global media market in a big way. Our faces were on seemingly every TV channel in the country. A guy named John Cameron Swayze gave us all the news. A lot of singing […]
Team Parkeology Media Blitz!
Thanksgiving is of course a wonderful time to give thanks and celebrate all the good things that have happened in the past year. Around Parkeology nothing has been bigger than the first ever successful running of WDW46. We have been taken aback by all the coverage we have received; from articles in the Orlando Sentinel and […]
WDW46: The Trailer
What a week. Not only did we complete WDW46 but also we have been featured in the Orlando Sentinel and the Orlando CBS station. Then things got really crazy: the New York Daily News has interviewed us and CNN and local stations have picked up the story across the country. There may be some even […]
WDW46: Redemption City
I should have known what was in store when Ted’s flight from Chicago was delayed by electrical problems. WDW46 was still 18 hours away and already we were falling behind. The planning for WDW46 began almost within days of completing WDW47 in the summer of 2013. We ended that run with 48 rides — 45 of them […]
Paper Paper; get your paper here!
We are 24 hours away from WDW46; the countdown has begun. Ted is en route to Orlando, Shane is scouting the parks and planning for all possible mishaps and all systems are go. For nearly 17 months the gears have been churning as the Parkeology machine marches towards inevitable victory. For us theme park geeks […]
Two Days Until WDW46
Today we continue on with our series on the best animated film park tie-ins. We have some all-time classics on the list here. Fox and the Hound, Black Cauldron, Oliver and Company. These films not only– Ah forget it, we can wrap up that series later. We want to keep the momentum building for WDW46, […]
You asked for more, we are giving you less!
Riddle me this Batman: When is 46 greater than 47? Disney may own Marvel but the DC universe queries us with an interesting quandary: is less ever more? Can 46 be greater than 47? The answer is most assuredly yes. Though it may seem paradoxical experiencing the 46 operating rides at WDW today is in […]
