After five long years away from @waltdisneyworld, I was welcomed back with a bang. Lugging around a tripod really paid off for this long exposure. Here’s the first of the full frame camera shots I got on this trip. I should probably make a Flickr for all these, right?

IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth lives on at the 2000’s-themed Disneyland Pass Party at Disneyland Paris! It’s great to hear this music in a Disney park again. 🙌 https://t.co/gTytKOrvdt

This has done numbers, like in the good old days, but the replies are mostly hostile and volatile. Anyway…. See y’all in another few months. I’ll be here.

Rivers of America, gone. Red Cars, gone. Muppets, probably gone. The Acolyte, gone. What a creatively bankrupt company. What a risk-adverse company. What a shame. Anyway…

This is just paying for what we had with mymagic+ fast pass. Oy….
NEW: Starting July 24, you'll be able to book Lightning Lanes BEFORE you arrive at Walt Disney World. Genie+ will become Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Individual Lightning Lane will change to Lightning Lane Single Pass. Here’s what you need to know 🧵:

So long, Test Track 2. You were fantastic when you debuted, replaced an aesthetic mistake, but aged VERY quickly, considering TRON is now a thing. Here’s hoping TT3 brings back some of the World of Motion ethos DIS has been mentioning. A fast ride through history could be great.

The feeling is being pulled to explore and discover a place that you subconsciously know. You’ve seen an establishing shot of Droid Depot countless times in Tatooine. But now? You’re there. And you get to move though the movie. Pure magic. I got goosebumpy/teary.

That first moment in Batuu where the Disneyland feeling hit me? Right outside the Droid Depot as BSO begins to present itself. Where the facades feel familiar to you, even though you’ve never technically seen them. Where you feel you’ve stepped into a movie.

Happy anniversary to this amazing place. Walking into Batuu for the first time was the closest I’ve felt to the feeling when I walked into Disneyland for the first time after a lifetime of WDW visits. Didn’t expect to ever get that feeling again, at least in US parks. Special.
