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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
― fka snush (remy bean), Monday, 30 April 2012 22:47 (twelve years ago) link
what do you mean reduced -- it's smaller?
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 30 April 2012 22:49 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― fka snush (remy bean), Monday, 30 April 2012 22:58 (twelve years ago) link
when I went in February it looked like a physical expansion of Fantasyland not a foreshortening -- ugh.

Animatronics will see a similar personalization, so the otherwise obtuse talking robots can specifically acknowledge the people standing in front of them.…

Yikes!
There's a fair chance that Disney can pull this off in a non-creepy way. The Kim Possible adventure that they had at Epcot is a good example of a more interactive experience that worked really well.

Sounds like this is the replacement for the Kim Possible one, which worked the same way.

Considering dining plan and reservations months in advance seem to rule the restaurants, I'm surprised there was a line, unless they were all impulsive last-minute hopefuls. Wonder what they charge for a beer at Disney?
