In the early 1960s, Walt Disney carried the torch of one of humanity's oldest pursuits, the search for mechanical life. The result was Audio-Animatronics, a new breed of robots that would soon populate the world. Watch Disney's Animatronics: A Living History now.

Traveling through Nashville and stopped for dinner at Five Points Pizza. Highly recommend! Great food, good draft beer selection, and cool vibes.

This is both exciting and sad to me. If they're going to preserve MuppetVision in a different theater, like at DCA, why not just say so? I'm excited about the Muppets taking over RNR, but really want MuppetVision to be available in at least one of the US parks.

I looked at Disney's concept art, construction permits, building codes, and other public info to make educated guesses about what's coming to Tropical Americas.

Matthew Perry gave the best performance on Friends from start to finish. Genuinely stunned and saddened that he’s gone. RIP.

Taking a chance here, hoping my Disney friends can help:
Has anyone seen this for sale anywhere? My son sent this picture, saying he wanted it for his birthday, but I can’t find it anywhere online. I’m guessing it’s a parks-only item.

I've got to admit - the possibility of Tom Staggs as Disney CEO makes me (tentatively) optimistic for the parks' future. I still remember that NYT piece on him where he revealed he was the "FastPass runner" for his family. I'm old enough to remember (and have been) that. I think he gets the parks.

Aerial photo of two new barges in the EPCOT backstage marina. There seem to be many pedestals, as if additional elements will be connected. There are outboard motors at right.

Researching Disney park music at NYU, I found this in EPCOT's The Land sessions.
One background track is "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", recorded by Johnny Rivers in '65 and made popular by Glen Campbell in '67.
Buddy Baker's hand-written notes say he wants the Glen Campbell sound here.

It's so good to see folks like @hocohowie.bsky.social @tocpe82.bsky.social @sincerelyivymarie.bsky.social @servoisnaked.bsky.social @mysticflights.bsky.social here. So many familiar faces making the migration, which means my feed is only getting more interesting.
