When Christopher Robin backed up that giant dump truck, cackled maniacally, and pulled the lever, he buried Atlantis forever beneath several metric tons of pliable playground flooring. Now youngsters crawl through Winnie the Pooh’s house and clamor over Piglet’s Crypt-o-Wheel of Doom, never realizing that just 20,000 leagues below the surface, guests once explored the […]
Two If By Sea
American History is ripe with heroic tales of patriotism, many of which provide dramatic backdrops to Disney attractions like the Hall of Presidents. Lincoln is well documented. Ben Franklin, yes, he’s important. Washington, sure. But perhaps no patriot stands so tall as that immortal giant who carved himself into history with the simple act of […]
Ken Annakin’s Jungle Cruise Crate is Actually a Sneaky Swiss Family Robinson Reference
In this, the second part of our 28-part series entitled “The Crates of the Jungle Cruise,” we discuss the label of another crate that is lying off to the side on the Jungle Cruise exit dock. Actually, there are only two crates of interest (crate #1 was discussed here), so I’m going to have to […]
The Cartographer’s Crate
There are several visual gags right at the exit dock of the Jungle Cruise. Those wonderful Disney name puns show up on a chalkboard, and there’s that cage with the bent bars, obviously for holding gorillas (or small children). But my favorite detail doesn’t look like a joke at all, and unless you are intimately […]
Lost in Animal Kingdom
The subject of Animal Kingdom’s lost path was covered again on 6/16/2010, and resulted in a night in the tank for Teevtee for his wanderings through Animal Kingdom’s backwoods. – Shane ———————————- Another great write-up from Teevtee today, with one of the truly hidden spots in Animal Kingdom. I remember we both found this area […]

How does the Haunted Mansion stretch room work? Here’s a breakdown of 11 hidden factors that bring the whole scene together.
Spook Hill
I love a good roadside attraction, and as it happens, there’s a pretty cool one not too far from Walt Disney World. It’s called Spook Hill, and the idea is that if you park your car on Spook Hill and put it into neutral, your car will roll uphill! You can find these sorts of […]
Sea Serpent Redux Again
To the Staff at Parkeology.com, I wasn’t going to say anything, but then Scales had to open his big mouth about being left out, and I felt obliged to write in with yet another correction to your ill-conceived article about WDW Sea Serpents. Scales feels slighted because he is the largest Sea Serpent on property. […]
Finding Disney Magic (No, Not the Cruise Ship)
I’d love to be able to take credit for this next post, but it’s actually by a good friend of mine. (“Yes!” you say. “Finally, someone good to read.”) We will call him Teevtee, in order to enhance his mysteriosity. Plus, I sometimes still call him that, because that’s how I first knew him. […]
