Iโm at the Cartoon Network Hotel in Pennsylvania for work. I was just settling in for the night when I got a call to my room that Finn was in the lobby waiting to greet meโฆthis is how he arrived dwkfjdnvkmdjfd I couldnโt BREEEEEATHE
before anyone gets mad, of COURSE youโre allowed to miss Disneyland and be sad that itโs closed (whether or not you think it *should* be open or not). We all yearn for a return to our normal lives. (1/2)
My sister is at Universal Beijing and sent me these videos of the How to Train Your Dragon show, Untrainable. It looks STUNNING. Iโm emotional ๐ญ

Getting a leftover vaccine is not like using a Fastpass - itโs like waiting in a Single Rider line. You arenโt cutting anybody in line! Youโre filling in spots that would otherwise go empty.
Gen Z is freaking out about Catherine OโHara being in Home Alone. Meanwhile, Iโve just found out that the voice of Peppermint Patty is also the executive producer of Mad Max: Fury Road
Though Iโve been furloughed since April, today is officially my last day as a Walt Disney Imagineer. Itโs been the honor & privilege of a lifetime to have spent the last 2 yrs supporting the Show Set and Theme Lighting teams for the Peter Pan area in Fantasy Springs.
All attraction designers should have to spend a week working on a size-restrictive attraction and see how it feels to look people in the eye and tell them they canโt ride.

If you have been attending protests, please be responsible and get yourself tested for COVID-19. The city has re-opened ALL free testing sites and there are tons of slots available. I went YESTERDAY and my results were in TODAY.
Iโm an Imagineer!!!! It still doesnโt quite feel real, but today was my first day as a Show Set Design intern for the Tokyo Portfolio at Walt Disney Imagineering! โจ

I've just started to get into Sailor Moon and all of its 90s girly goodness. Here's a Mucha-inspired Usagi! ๐๐ฐ๐๐

Why on earth is Haunted Mansion not a fall/Halloween release? I keep forgetting itโs coming out so soon because a July release date feels incorrect lol
Canโt wait to check out the new SpongeBobโs Crazy Carnival Dark Ride at Circus Circus Las Vegas tomorrow! ๐ช
Price is $19.95 per ride or 2 for $30.
When I interned at Universal Creative, my boss had all of the interns do a โwater ride dayโ where we rope dropped the park at 8, rode all of the water rides, and then changed into our business casual and went into work at 10.
Itโd be amazing if theme parks released โArt Ofโ books for every major attraction, like film/animation/game design studios do. Itโd be an amazing educational tool and give designers a chance to share more of our work.

Iโm a real boy!! ๐ As of today, Iโm officially a full time Imagineer! โจ This is so wonderfully surreal and Iโm absolutely over the moon. ๐ญ
Here's how Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in Walt Disney World looked midday on opening day, one year ago exactly. Really feels different when viewed through the prism of today's pandemic, doesn't it?
While giving us the grand tour of the house, Samโs grandma warned us, โnow let me preface this by saying people always LOVE or HATE the kitchen,โ
โฆas she showed us into an immaculately-preserved pink and yellow 1950s โKitchen of the Future,โ complete with refrigerated cabinets
Kilimanjaro Safaris was not running when I arrived at Animal Kingdom at 1pm and it's down at 2:30pm too. I'm wondering what type of technical problem causes a downtime this long.
even if you do not know or care about the story of the Haunted Mansion, adding a ghost animatronic to the endless hallway scene disrupts the tone and flow of the attraction.
I need to let you all know that in tonightโs movie the โtheme park attraction designerโ went all the way to Africa to study for his Safari attraction and at the end of the movie the attraction was literally just a room with screens
Get a load of those lamps!!!! I bet someone spent a lot of time lovingly 3D modeling them and fleshing out the design from the movie to bring it into the real worldโผ๏ธโผ๏ธโผ๏ธโผ๏ธ๐๐๐
NEW: Tokyo Disney Resort released new video of Fantasy Springs, including an early look at Peter Pan's Never Land, Rapunzel's Forest, and Frozen Kingdom. WOWWW. The land officially opens on June 6.
Making the Shrek puppet ride is my whole personality. I am in LOVE. A BELIEVER if you will. I am so proud of whoever pitched this idea and successfully got it built. I was losing my gd mind.
My gripe with this has less to do with storytelling and more to do with composition. It introduces a second focal point to the scene where it isnโt needed.
ok hear me out though. I love Roger Rabbit, but these photos donโt show how this grassy area came alive, even during a limited preview period. People sitting and hanging out with their friends, kids running around and playing - it made it feel like a real city park!
I have always thought that Disneyโs desperate attempts to recreate the success of Butterbeer are such a perfect metaphor for the immersive lands arms race. Nothing can beat Potter, because no IP in the universe has ever been better suited for theme park adaptation than Potter
NEW VIDEO! Butterbeer is the most popular thing in existence. Why is that? And can just any theme park IP make a drink sell so well? The answer won't surprise you, but I made a video about it anyway!
