These weird deaths are crazy enough on their own. But the Disney theme park connection takes things to an eerie new level.
4 Disney Ties That Made Weird Deaths Even Weirder
Hall of Presidents
Disney VS. Trump: We Reveal Big Changes Coming to WDW
It all seemed like a joke some months back when Donald Trump (along with Melania, his European trophy wife) took a torturously slow escalator ride down to what certainly must be the most bizarre presidential campaign announcement in history. Backed by approximately a thousand flags and cheered on by a crowd that looked to be […]
5 Times Ben Franklin Made Me Want to Punch Him
Ben Franklin is an unrepentant theme park windbag and he deserves to have his butt kicked. I’m not going to focus on the petty stuff, because that is beneath me. If you want to wear your stringy dishwater hair like a half-bald Michael Bolton, more power to you. Nor will I pick on his frilly-suit/white-socks ensemble. […]
The Thing Behind Door 24
It cannot be real. I won’t let it. Yet somehow the desperate, still-sane part of my mind will not let me forget the truly unsettling site I witnessed at the Magic Kingdom on the evening of March 24. As I write this, I am still quite shaken. I don’t know what will come of this nightmare. […]

The Hall of Imagineers (or how a mop saved the day)
The great thing about parkeology is that you never know where it is going to lead you. Such was the case as I did research on Richard Nixon’s many connections to the Disney parks. As I mentioned in that piece Nixon was the sitting president when the Hall of Presidents opened in 1971, the […]
I am not a Crook!
Well actually I really am not a crook, outside of trying to shoplift a fruit roll up when I was about 12 (and being caught doing so) crime has never been my thing. But I’m not talking about myself; I’m talking about one of the most infamous presidential quotes ever. It was near the end […]
Two If By Sea
American History is ripe with heroic tales of patriotism, many of which provide dramatic backdrops to Disney attractions like the Hall of Presidents. Lincoln is well documented. Ben Franklin, yes, he’s important. Washington, sure. But perhaps no patriot stands so tall as that immortal giant who carved himself into history with the simple act of […]
Mount Rushmore of Disney World
The Disney company is always willing to exploit old characters in new mediums, so it’s a surprise to learn that of all the characters and personalities on property, only four are actually duplicated as Animatronic figures in different attractions. I’m talking strictly animatronics here. For instance, Nemo appears in several attractions, but only as a […]
