I’m nicer when I’ve eaten.
“Like a relic from a different age”
- I don’t know what a multiverse is but the 1983 White House Egg Roll was from one of them.
- I'd been chasing an interview with Remo Saraceni, the artist responsible for EPCOT's rainbow tunnel for several years. We finally connected & 3 days ago was told if I wanted to speak to him time was short so I made the trip on Friday. Remo passed away a few hours ago. 1/2
- If Apple buys Disney he will become iGer.
- Yes, I'll be there in July to give you my $50 for this it's a small world ornament, Hallmark.
00:00 - "I'll bet we could charge $26 for those eggs" - Mickey Mouse
- I generally don’t complain about park admission prices as they track with sports, concerts, etc but my 10 day non expiring park hopper w 10 water park visits was $316 nine years ago.
- Replying to @BrianPMilesWe spent time together and he shared his EPCOT story and, emotionally for me, his thoughts on life, the universe and everything as a man who knew his time was ending. He was a beautiful soul and he smiled broadly when I told him how much his creation was beloved by all of you.
- Replying to @BrianPMilesI think I'll save the story and excerpts of our recorded interview for RetroMagic mostly because I'd like to experience telling it with an audience who shares my emotion. This one's rough right now.
- 10 years ago today Magic Kingdom celebrated leap year by having “Another Disney Day” and remaining open for 24 hours on Feb 29th. The wait to see Mickey was 70 minutes at 2 AM.
- If you ever wondered what people did to occupy themselves before smartphones and Gameboys. Nothing. They did nothing.
- I'll go on a bit of a hotel rant because it's been a pet peeve of mine for a while since Disney started charging guests to park at the hotels they're paying to sleep in order to spend money in their shops, restaurants and theme parks. 1 <c>
