There are good animals and there are bad animals. Gorillas I think must be bad animals. For one thing, they stink. Ever wonder what that smell is at the exit to Kiliminjaro Safari? Putrid, vomitable gorilla. They are also only marginally cute even as babies, which is tough to do in the animal world. […]
The Diamond in the Rough
One of my favorite topics is complaining about places at Walt Disney World that I’ve never been able to visit. Ever since my post about the Catwalk Bar, I have been consumed with jealousy for people more privileged than myself. I think it’s because when I was a young lad, I once begged for pennies […]
Where in the World is Bing Crosby?
A fun little diversion today, as we have a guest post from none other than my sister. I am not joking when I say she is obsessed with Bing Crosby. Seriously, we’re thinking of having an intervention. Anyway, enjoy this chronicle of all the references in the parks to Bing. It’s sort of like […]
Ever Evolving
One of the great things about Disney parks and Walt Disney World in particular is that stuff is always changing. Even Madonna would have a hard time reinventing herself at this pace. It’s well documented that Walt wanted it this way. He’s famous for saying that he wanted something he could endlessly tinker with, like […]
A few more…
Nothing too fancy today but we thought you might enjoy seeing a few more of the matchbooks of Disney’s past… Think of this as a continuation of last weeks post and we will have some new stuff up soon. The official hotels at the Hotel Plaza got in on the action as well. […]
Thank you for smoking…
It’s funny how times change. One day Universal is the laughing stock of the theme park world, the next day they still are but now they have a really nicely done Harry Potter section. Hey Listen, I am not going to make fun of this, it’s sweet. Seriously, it is amazing how what was considered […]
A Great Mystery…
It is well established that we suck! Everything Disney gets in Tokyo is far superior to our honky-tonk, county fair, ho-down like experiences. If given a choice between a trip to the Tokyo Disney Resort and say ending world hunger only a fool would choose to feed the children. In fact in my very own […]
Mickey no Tokyo Disneyland Daibouken
Our spellchecker is not broken. The headline is Japanese, and it translates roughly to “Mickey’s Adventure in Tokyo Disneyland.” (I’ll let you clever folks figure out which Japanese word means “Adventure”). Up until about a month ago, I never knew Mickey had adventures in Tokyo Disneyland. I just sort of assumed he sat in the […]
San Francisco is Very Accessible, If You Ignore the Hills
One of the great things about being a Disney fan is that it allows us to boast about the little things. Like themed exit signs or resort backstories or efficient parking lots (all things that I wish Universal would address someday). Pleasure Island may not be long for this earth, what with Hyperion Wharf moving […]
