So earlier this week, my brother pointed me in the direction of a rather cool little quiz, which has nothing to do with parks and everything to do with Disney. It lists out every Disney movie every made (presumably under the Walt Disney label) and asks you how many you’ve seen. I started strong, trailed […]
Disney Theme Park Hidden Secrets
The Shaggy Yeti
I will go ahead and admit it. I have not ridden Expedition Everest since the big #WDW47 hullabaloo back in June. That was more than three months ago. A hundred days of broken-yeti-free parkeology. Probably a million other people have ridden Everest in that time. And since I’m confessing things, I might as well go […]
Plane Crazy
Before I touch on the cool thing that caught my eye this week, I have to post about something that really caught me off guard. Disney, to my stunned amazement, likes to merchandise its movies. Okay, that was tongue in cheek. This is the same company that only a few weeks ago was selling dead […]
6 Things I Can’t Believe Still Exist at Disney World
It’s hard for me to believe that Horizons, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, the Skyway, and Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride have been gone for 15 or 20 years now. There are readers of this blog in college who never knew what it was like to smell oranges, experience claustrophobic panic attacks, anonymously spit on people […]

But I love a good fixation, and Disney gives me many opportunities in which to sink my teeth, as if I were a vampire and the theme […]
The Giant Snail Invasion
So apparently Florida is being overrun by giant snails. I think it would be moderately terrifying to have my life snuffed out by a slow-moving half-blind giant shell, but I knew it was a risk when I moved down here. All those Florida retirees in their Cadillacs… As plagues go, giant snails is several levels […]
Lending a Helping Hand
In 2011 shortly after the tsunami struck Japan and created an unprecedented series of tragic events we posted a tribute of sorts to the Tokyo Disney resort, you can read it here: https://www.parkeology.com/2011/03/so-story-goes.html. About a year ago (one year after the tsunami) we were back in Tokyo and were thrilled to find it every bit […]
Skull Rock Optical Illusion Discovered in Pirates of the Caribbean
Disney has recreated Peter Pan’s Skull Rock island before, but Pirates of the Caribbean’s ingenious optical illusion is the best version yet
Fort Wilderness Lawn Mower Tree Still Lurking
The Fort Wilderness Lawn Mower Tree was an early Walt Disney World legend. Almost like a Stephen King story. And it’s still lurking out there.
