Speaking of Disney signage fonts…any idea what font they use on the Disney Wish? I’ve been trying to ID it since we sailed back in September but I’ve come up short.

More of Franklyn Marks’ cues in FROM THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN TO THE WORLD OF TOMORROW. This segment is one of my favorites.

Not really the world’s first themed bar, bc it was ALL REAL, Cobweb Palace (est. 1853) in San Francisco was lovingly owned & operated by dapper Abe Warner. It attracted drunken sailors, tourists & brave locals for 40 years. Those webs were full of spider eggs. Oh yeah, there were monkeys, too.

What do we want to bet that Disney adds a MuppetVision 3D experience to Disney+ for Apple Vision Pro? You can already watch Disney films in 3D there; at the very least they could add the film and make the MV theater one of the locales you can watch films in.

Oh, haha, I’m sorry, I forgot—we’re posting on BlueSky now! Same kind of thing, different name. Well, that’s progress for you.

Making different Star Wars-soundtrack versions for every fireworks show might be my favorite thing that Disney has done this decade. It’s great.
The latest Fire of the Rising Moons version that now plays in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge during Disneyland’s holiday fireworks includes the Victory Celebration music from Return of the Jedi. It is, of course, perfect for fireworks. 🥹

Since moving from Twitter, many people have been worried they won’t be able to track where in the world “It’s a Small World” is currently playing.

Not to worry, the Small World Hippo is here.

I was genuinely thinking this week, with all the batshit appointment announcements, @theonion.com must be struggling to compete. But The Onion chuckled and said, hold my beer:

Let’s try this again. I tried ditching the bird app entirely in favor of BlueSky and Threads, but there were just too many people I wanted to keep up with who were only on there. Hoping now we can all ditch The Bad Place once and for all.
Ok guess it’s time to actually start posting on here.

This was a brilliant idea in 1992 that somehow has never been tried again.
One of the nice things about the design of Disneyland Paris is they accounted for bad weather. You can walk from the front of the park almost to the back either inside or with covered walkways and the arcades behind Main Street.

Saw Dial of Destiny tonight at our local drive in (the only good way to see a movie with a 13mo child). I was very skeptical going in but really enjoyed it! Phoebe & Mads were great, and I found the flashback de-aging fairly convincing (although man, they really needed to de-age his voice too).
