Because I can’t resist talking about this crazy plan, I wanted to address some questions that have come up. I’m not going to tip the whole schedule this early, because what’s the fun in that? But I can’t help obsessing over the details. When is the attempt? Sunday, June 16th. Which happens to be Father’s […]
Final Prep…
Its almost here… Nearly 20 years in the making (more on this later) the impossible is about to come true (or fail spectacularly) WDW 47 is set to launch in just 4 days. Plans have been made and remade. Numbers have been crunched. Test runs have been held. Strategy has been discussed, scrapped, altered and […]
Double the Fun
T-7 Days and counting… The most epic, challenging, outrageous and downright INSANE event in Parkeology history is only a week away. Despite the already nearly insurmountable odds we just made it even more difficult. If getting one person through the entire roster of WDW rides in one single normal operating day wasn’t hard enough […]
WDW47 Revealed
If you’re wondering why it’s been kind of quiet here on Parkeology, it’s because I’ve been working on a new obsession. It’s a little project of mine. An insane, magnificent little project of great worth to humankind. I mentioned this way back in April (4/7), which is appropriate because this mission is entitled WDW47. We […]
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 […]
Forgotten Waterfalls of the Rainforest Cafe
I have a pretty good eye for noticing when things are different, even when I can’t quite put my finger on what has changed. So it came as a shock to me when I suddenly realized that sometime in the last decade an entire Rainforest Cafe has disappeared. I know what you are thinking: throw […]
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. Preparations are now more than a month underway, and while we think we have gone further than any run-of-the-mill Wilderness Explorer has ever gone before, there remain several insurmountable obstacles that must be […]
Claim Your Dumbo
I love paying attention to the detales. Im extremeley detail oriented. I am self-diagnosed with OCD, which means I just offended everyone who is professionally diagnosed with OCD. 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 […]
