One of the first things I drew in the early days of Park Lore were "badges" to commemorate the "Disney Mountains." Just for fun, I thought it would be a good time to refresh and upgrade those rough sketches into more refined sticker designs! I think it's a fun collection! #ParkLoreArt

A brand new #LayoutTuesday illustration this week – a peek inside THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS: OFF THE LEASH! If you're still thinking Universal can't deliver in this genre, this ride will prove otherwise. 60+ animatronics, phenomenal gags, so much detail... A home run! #ParkLoreArt

For #LayoutTuesday, here's a look at the before & after of Islands of Adventure's Jurassic Park. The world-building walkthrough TRICERATOPS ENCOUNTER and the high speed VELOCICOASTER both bring guests close to dinosaurs...! Just, y'know, at a different speed #ParkLoreArt parklore.com/main/then-now

Earlier this year, I shared my hand-drawn Build-Out (and accompanying in-depth written walkthrough) of a dreamy, armchair-Imagineered version of Disney's Animal Kingdom. It's one of the projects I'm proudest of.

What a terrible message this one franchisee or manager's call sends on behalf of Dollar General (a terrible, predatory vulture of a company who deserves bad press) and Columbus (a really, really nice, progressive place to live and work).

Before Nemo, there was THE LIVING SEAS. Guests would access this pavilion through a complex, multi-phase introduction that included a pre-show film, a "descent" in underwater Hydrolators, and an arrival at SeaBase Alpha via an Omnimover through the ocean. #ParkLoreArt #LayoutTuesday

The annual TEA / AECOM theme park attendance estimates for 2024 have been published! So of course, I took that as an opportunity to do some data visualization, then write a 3,000 word reflection on 2024's trends. 😎 Check out my thoughts at parklore.com/vault/attendance-2024! #ParkLoreArt

Disneyland’s absolutely spectacular Evil Queen (subject of many deservedly viral moments) seems to be hinting (in character!) that the Queen will be switching from year round to seasonal (Halloween) appearances, ending November 1. tiktok.com/t/ZTMHPVnoS/

This is so great and if it was $59.99 it would be in my cart, but $160?!?! For 12 mini-plush in a cardboard Advent calendar?! 😩

It's a brand new #LayoutTuesday, featuring SeaWorld Orlando's EMPIRE OF THE PENGUIN! The product of one of SeaWorld's periodic eras of (invariably doomed) ambition, the ride beat Disney & Universal to the trackless LPS dark ride punch! But the results? Well... 😬 #ParkLoreArt

Another #ParkLoreLandline has joined the villa. UNIVERSAL KIDS RESORT in Frisco, Texas will open with seven lands centered on DreamWorks, Illumination, and Nickelodeon properties. What will its landline look like in 25 years? 🤔

A new #LayoutTuesday entry this week! PINOCCHIO'S DARING JOURNEY debuted at Tokyo Disneyland in 1983, built in tandem with one in Disneyland's New Fantasyland the same year. Then, it was an Opening Day Original in Paris! #ParkLoreArt

I’m gonna NEEEEEED someone to be honest with me about what’s going on here. Fantasmic with ZERO pyro. Not even a cannon blast for Peter Pan. This happens at least weekly now, and it is totally unacceptable. I love Fantasmic, and my feelings rn? Just end it. Let’s be done.

It’s actually wild that my Magic Key is blocked out on Saturday when my friends are in town and I can’t upgrade my pass. The only choice is to buy two 1-day tickets for THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS EACH. 😭 This has really gotten out of hand and I’m embarrassed. BUT my motto will be…

NEW! At Hong Kong Disneyland, the JUNGLE RIVER CRUISE was one of just two opening day headliners. Serving as the park's "Rivers of America" (with Tarzan's Treehouse as its Tom Sawyer Island), this unique version ends with a battle of the fire & water gods. #ParkLoreArt #LayoutTuesday

If you catch me at Disneyland wearing my own merch over the weekend pls be sure to say in a loud, clear voice how much you enjoy my work so the friends I’m bringing (for their first visit!) will know I’m not a loser and people actually read my stuff! 🥰

There's maybe no more legendary lost coaster than Busch Gardens Williamsburg's BIG BAD WOLF – a suspended, swinging Arrow classic that turned a generation into a rampaging storybook creature terrorizing a German village. #ParkLoreArt #LayoutTuesday

Real ones remember when in 2013, for like three weeks, Disney replaced the legendary voice of Mara (rumored to be James Earl Jones) with a voice that can best be described as (and I can say it because it applies to me too) a gay leprechaun. youtu.be/YlPDXuHLOnU?...

I realized this week that somehow, I had never drawn the layout for Disneyland's version of Tiana's Bayou Adventure! So for #LayoutTuesday this week, we're goin' down the bayou. See how it compares to Magic Kingdom's at parklore.com/main/here-there #ParkLoreArt
