It’s been about about 13 years since the Southern Baptist boycott of Disney. Some readers may be too young to remember this, but there was a time during the Michael Eisner years when Disney veered sharply away from their family friendly image and started embracing less savory elements. Mainly the boycott was concerned with the […]

Chester and Who-ster?
It’s finally here. The great Dinoland opus from friend and collaborator Teevtee. The man who caught Joe Rohde baby-dunking. It’s about time he got around to sending me something new rather than resting on his laurels. I’ve been pestering him for days now. Regardless of how you feel about Dinoland’s story (and I […]
Disney World Goes To the Oscars
In honor of the Academy Awards, I have decided to devote an entire post linking the most famous American award show to a 43-square-mile patch of Florida swampland. Here are the nominees and winners of the Oscars, Walt Disney World style. Best Supporting Actress The Great Movie Ride is packed with Supporting Actress nominees. Of […]
Mr. Toad’s New Mania
Today I just want to pay homage to the happiest little dancing frog that ever hip-hopped his way through Walt Disney World. Nice try. Go find a Six Flags. This little amphibian deserves our love, admiration, and respect, because he is able to dance on one foot while waving something in his hand with his […]
Toontown In Perspective
When you think of the absolute pinnacle of Disney themed lands, only one comes to mind: Mickey’s Toontown Fair. Alright I’m joking, nothing holds a candle to Dinorama.

All Dried Up – A Parkeology Exclusive!
For the first time, we are pleased to bring you a shocking parkeology-exclusive video. This is hard-hitting, explosive material that you won’t find anywhere else, since it was captured by our own Teevtee, who also did the write-up. The video is at the end of the article and it is indeed SHOCKING. It is not […]
Castaway Keys
We have a substitute parkeologist today, but I want you all to behave yourselves. No spitballs or switching seats. Especially since it’s my sister. She’s usually found on her own blog writing clever homages to Jane Austen, but she’s crossed over today because, well, she’s musically inclined and her sharp eyes (ears?) caught this little […]
Life Size Pixie Hollow
Tinkerbell wasn’t always this popular. Sure, she has been kicking off fireworks shows for decades now, but that was just because it was sort of her job, not because little girls were clamoring for more Tink. And while it’s definitely a thrill to see her glide down from the castle’s tallest spire, older Magic Kingdom […]
Beams So Clean You Can Eat Off Them
Okay everyone. I’m here to confirm for you that there is something big happening at WDW. I’m not referring to the press event of last week, which announced the return of the Main Street Electrical Parade. You haven’t missed any new ride planning sessions, or rehearsals for the next major show. And no, we […]
