7 Unsung Disney Legends that Should Be in the Hall of Fame

You may or may not know that Disney has a Hall of Fame of sorts. It’s called the Disney Legends. And it is apparently total anarchy, run by a secret sub-committee of godless heathens intent on slighting every last one of my childhood heroes with their cruel and random acts of Legend Bestowing. Okay, not really. […]

Diznee Piksar’s “Automobiles”

One of the things that must be frustrating for Disney is making untold piles of cash and being adored by millions of fans around the world. Because then you have to content with all the leeches that want to rip you off. There’s nothing worse than having your Grandma walk into a Best Buy and […]

The Great Iconic Food Race

I have a love-hate relationship with Universal Studios. By which I mean, I love to hate them. For an entire decade and a half, they deserved all the hate and then some. Universal Studios Florida was a masterpiece of ugly when it opened. Islands of Adventure left so many opportunities on the table. They were […]

Festival of Pandora

Parkeology has been quiet lately, as we gear up for WDW47, the most challenging, self-serving, borderline stupid theme park encounter ever attempted.

May the Force be With You!

It’s Confirmed: Star Wars expansion is coming to Walt Disney World and big changes are on the way. We all knew it was coming. We have all heard the many, many rumors and now we have word that the big announcement is imminent and should be made official at a huge press gala in a […]

Today, I’d like to branch away from that, by starting with more clever t-shirts, but ending with two other really […]

Here There Be Princesses – Tokyo Disneyland

  A while back Shane gave himself a little challenge. He wanted to find the small hidden areas in the parks that he had never been to before. Not unlike the monsters lurking in the uncharted areas of old pirate maps who knew what these seldom trafficked areas held? Sadly other than getting arrested for […]

The sad end of an era

In 2011 when Steve jobs died I felt sad. I never met him, never had any contact of any sort with him and yet I was sad. He touched my life through his work at both Pixar and Apple. It was a strange experience to feel a read sadness for the loss of someone I […]

The First Disney Pixar Movie

2012 is the Bizarro Year. This year, we hailed California Adventure, Hong Kong Disneyland, and the Magic Kingdom as shining beacons of incredible theming. Tokyo Disney Sea’s newest rides are a transplanted carnival game thing and a Magic Carpet spinner. At the box office, Spiderman and Batman got beat up by second tier superheroes like […]
