To commemorate Animal Kingdom’s Birthday, I’m going to repost my very silly Twitter thread reading the also very silly (& somehow officially licensed ???) Countdown to Extinction book — all 42 pages of it.

That reminds me, Bunny Bread has put out a Christmas sweatshirt every year for five years running and I’m seriously considering dropping $200 to buy them all

“Grizzly Peak is once again visible!
For a long time, large trees completely obscured Grizzly Peak from many locations around the land.
Here’s a comparison of the before and after.”

Love love love that the songs made for the parade have actual names. "Up In Arms" is a wonderful name for the Octopus/Sea Monster theme
Very curious what the names of the original songs in the current iteration are and if they will ever be found

When the birthday/new baby/sympathy/retirement card at work comes around, do you have to take fifteen minutes to get in the zone and write something straightforward/heartfelt/maybe a lil funny, without coming across as insincere/corny/inappropriate,
or are you normal?

Do we know how many times Walt Disney rode a horse at Disneyland? Seen here with Fess Parker in the 1955 Thanksgiving Day parade opening the Mickey Mouse Club Circus.

I wanted to buy some late ‘90s coke cans like OK Soda or Surge or even Cherry Coke, just as placemaking for a themed bedroom.
Holy crap they’re either nonexistent or hellaciously expensive on the secondary market I’m just looking for trash y’all

Yellow = Pixar (17)
Red = Marvel (7)
Black = Star Wars (8)
Blue = Sensation Six-ish (8)
Purple = Disney Parks (3̳)
Unsurprisingly, the last 25 years represents more than the prior 70 years combined (39>31)

I have often had questions about, much like I caapitalise Cast Member, why I capitalise Guest when discussing themed entertainment (and hospitality more widely). The answer is simple. The Guest is the centre of everything in this industry, and we ought not forget it. (1/?)
