It just occurred to me that walking into Batuu for the first time was the closest I’ve felt to the amazing feeling when I walked into Disneyland for the first time after a lifetime of WDW visits. Didn’t expect to ever really get that feeling again, at least in US parks. Special.

Remember what Steven Speilberg said about John's music: "Without John Williams, bikes don't really fly, nor do brooms in Quidditch matches, nor do men in red capes. There is no Force, dinosaurs do not walk the Earth, we do not wonder, we do not weep, we do not believe."

Interesting, if you zoom in on the Maelstrom show building, it appears that they did a paint test for the Swan and Dolphin on the back of the show building. I’ve never seen this before

We'll wrap things up with a couple of aerial photos- The Land pavilion circa 1982, and the "Epcot Resort Area", including Disney MGM Studios in the background, circa 1991. Quite a lot of change in the area over the first 10 years.

In order to ensure accurate information, @MDCPS is compelled to clarify that the book titled, “The Hill We Climb” by @TheAmandaGorman was never banned or removed from one of our schools. The book is available in the media center as part of the middle grades collection.

The Bob Iger news is really “out of the fire and back into the frypan” but I don’t think many people want to hear that, this morning.

Bob Iger has replaced Bob Chapek as CEO of Disney. Chapek’s ouster comes on the heels of a third-quarter earnings report that spooked Wall Street. Read the full story here: bit.ly/3hZINIP

Enchanted Tiki Tomb. Halloween overlay. 🎶“Where the birds scream words and the guests are doomed. In the tiki tiki tiki tiki tiki tomb.”🎵

This is downright wonderful. Why did it take almost a year to add Disney World History to a celebration celebrating Disney World History?
