If you're familiar with Bob Moline's work in EPCOT, you'll hear shades of it all over his earlier work.

The music is so good, and it's so sad he's not around anymore.

I swear I reposted a ticket price increase post.

Too many price hikes in one day, sheesh.

Gross. And they wonder why people try to find hacks like parking at DTD and the resorts.

Greed.

Because of course.

I have my issues with him too, but at least he's fighting back.

Too many milquetoast dems out there just trying to wait out the Trump era, assuming democracy will still be left.

The Tigers did this in the off-season. They made it a super high priced section for high rollers who don't show up to the game and don't cheer.

It's the antithesis of what you want to see on TV.

And I'm assuming you mean Roy unless there's a Ron Disney I'm not familiar with 🤣

The duality of Eisner. The first half of his tenure was great, the last half? Not so much.

I like the attraction... But I feel like the actual show quality was better when it was just a pure drop.

The multiple drop sequences do not do it for me.

I miss that attraction and pavilion in its original form so, so much.

It went from a top three pavilion to probably bottom half.

I just figured it out!!!
#retromagic is more like Disneyland where the Imagineers are allowed to roam free like the costumed characters versus official Disney events which are more like WDW canned met and greets

Another #RetroMagic is in the books!

The folks at @retrowdw.bsky.social put on a great event, as always, but the real highlight was getting to hang out with some of the best people on Earth.

Let's do it again in Cali in '27... But maybe let's not even wait that long?

Fun fact, Walt Disney loved long tags. That’s why Disney merch has long tags to this day.
