We’re going back to Disneyland 1997 to relive Light Magic, the $20M “street-tacular” that replaced the Main Street Electrical Parade… and vanished after one summer. Was it a disaster or just misunderstood?

Three young boys stand together in the lobby of Disney’s Contemporary Resort in 1995, posing in front of a bronze statue of Leopold Stokowski shaking Mickey Mouse’s hand. Behind them is a large arrangement of red poinsettias and a teal-colored wall. All three boys wear matching outfits: long-sleeve denim button-down shirts tucked into light khaki pants with black belts. From left to right: the tallest boy, AJ, with short dark hair stands with his hands in his pockets; the middle boy, Chris, smiles brightly with his hands behind his back; and the right boy, Mike, grins widely, showing a gap between his front teeth.

Just like we planned it.
A screenshot of a text conversation with a dark background. One message bubble at the top, in gray, says: “OK, also making the episode light magic on daylight savings is fucking brilliant.” Below it, a purple message bubble replies: “Yes. That was totally intentional.” The timestamp between them reads “8:56 PM.”

We’re going park by park to talk about how we’d “plus” Disney rides: the updates, fixes, and upgrades they deserve (and which ones should stay untouched). From Space Mountain’s music to fixing the Yeti, it’s all fair game!

Happy birthday, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Walt Disney World!
Three men standing and smiling at Walt Disney World with Cinderella Castle visible in the background. All three are wearing Disney-themed shirts: the man on the left wears a Donald Duck shirt and a Cleveland Indians baseball cap, the man in the middle wears sunglasses and a button-up shirt featuring Goofy, Pluto, and a tropical scene, and the man on the right wears a T-shirt with Mickey Mouse in a wizard hat. The photo has a sunny, lush background with greenery and castle turrets. Three men sitting in front of the Spaceship Earth geodesic sphere at EPCOT in Walt Disney World. They are seated on the edge of a fountain with water cascading down behind them. The man on the left is wearing a white Queen band T-shirt, tan shorts, and flip-flops. The man in the middle is wearing a two-tone blue shirt, khaki shorts, and green Crocs, holding a park map. The man on the right is wearing a light blue collared shirt, khaki shorts, and white sneakers. The geometric structure of Spaceship Earth looms large in the background with trees and other park guests visible.

The Magic have already committed to a (pretty solid) rebrand this year. But if they made this an alternate jersey I think they would, at the least, gain three new fans from Ohio @90sdisney.com

Mikey is getting one more trip aboard the Liberty Belle around the Rivers of America.
A smiling man, Mike Minotti, wearing a red shirt patterned with small Disney characters and a gray cap with an orange design is taking a selfie on a boat. Behind him is the Rivers of America at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. Across the water, the Haunted Mansion attraction with its brick facade, gothic architecture, and green awnings is clearly visible. The day is sunny with blue skies and some clouds.
