reddening's thread of DISNEY PARKS gossip

speaking of creepy animatronic lincoln, here's a video of him breaking down mid-speech:

it was my sister's turn to alert me to important disney news:

ngl my immediate reaction was "hmmm, if i were to give birth inside disneyland, i wonder where i'd do it"

feel like there's something sinister going on here, we are not being told the "whole story."

feel like the disney characters are waving larry forward to "bring out the kid in him" via his intestines

boy in the striped shirt gets a kickback, really gets off on the gentle trust in the eyes of his victims

is pluto playful waving his ear, or is he surreptitiously making the "hanged man" gesture as a way of mocking larry's fatal ignorance?

who knew tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum were the muscle.

Was it Disney that used to have the ad of the parents becoming children so by the end of the ad, the mom was a little girl standing next to her son?

wasn't weird at all

13 days to go!

why the hell would you go to Disneyland so very pregnant

babies born in the park get a lifetime pass iirc

no, that's only if your roommate kills himself on the Matterhorn.

babies conceived in the park are banned for life iirc

but the placenta stays

placentas are interred underneath the park entrance's statue of Mickey and Walt iirc

thanking u thread, i have stopped wondering where in the park i would have a baby and have moved on to "where in the park would i hide the placenta."

in the pineapple whip

put it in the display window of the turkey leg cart and see how long it takes anyone to notice

Two things I can't forgive: Cheney authorizing torture and Disney tourists in August tearing into turkey legs.

a lot of people think the "haunted mansion" is childish and not very scary...but what if i told you that one of those old-fashioned trunks in the attic was literally packed with human placentas

what if I told you it was packed with 200-year-old turkey legs

Haunted Mansion rules, fuiud

the placenta and turkey legs are just the icing on the cake, to mix my metaphors a bit...

i love the haunted mansion too! but you gotta admit that if piles of human and/or turkey flesh were just kind of heaped everywhere throughout it would really take it to the next level

california adventure is getting a swinging new band of roaming entertainers called "five and dime." they play...instruments?

at last!

i'm going to give the artist the benefit of the doubt and assume that's meant to be a whimsical dr. seuss-style horn instrument, and not the tentacle porn it so strongly resembles

Buke And Gase takin off

kid in blue-green-and-white shirt otm.

Three days until I'm in Disney World! I am a little excited, obv., and I think I'm going to eat at Boma! Flavors of Africa and the gardeny food place in Epcot for my meals.

Be sure to sample those South African wines.

oh my god i had to triple check to make sure kid in blue-green-and-white shirt wasn't my brother-- where is that pic from?

i saw it on the vintage disney tumblr, but it looks like it was originally posted on this blog. taken in 1988?

thanks! pretty sure its not him-- i dont think we made it to disney until '91 anyway-- pretty uncanny though!

disney changes "water-spouting fish" ride element because the piece of plastic going in and out of the fish's mouth looks too phallic. what is it with "the little mermaid" and phalluses, damn.

we need remy updates!

just got back this morning - i'll aim to update later. had a great time, really loved epcot and animal kingdom. watched disney vets do gut surgery on a goat at the, err 'conservation station' and ate the best buffet food of my life at animal kingdom lodge. wish i'd stayed at the lodge, actually...

the fantasyland expansion looks very lovely, but it meant that the MK was greatly reduced. the new art of animation resort looks really amazing, also.

what do you mean reduced -- it's smaller?

yeah. a lot of real estate has been taken over in the building of 'storybook circus.' it's hard to know what to expect – a very odd forced-perspective beauty and the beast castle is rising out of rocks installed behind constuction panels.

when I went in February it looked like a physical expansion of Fantasyland not a foreshortening -- ugh.

In a dozen trips since 2001 I STIlL haven't been to Animal Kingdom or the Lodge, despite hearing wonders about Jiko and its South African wine selection.

Is there a book for strange disney facts & history?

browsing through amazon, maybe this is the one for me. this one's about epcot. i'm about to go to disney world so I don't want to read something too dark
