Re-Imagineering

This is a neat blog with quite a few contributors. Here is the description:
“A forum for Pixar and Disney professionals passionate about the Disney Theme Parks to catalog past Imagineering missteps and offer tenable practical solutions in hopes that a new wave of creative management at Imagineering can restore some of the wonder and magic that’s been missing from the parks for decades.”

Sorry for the pause

My blogger account for this blog was reported as a spam blog. I had to click to have someone at google review it before I could post new content. I will work to get some new posts up ASAP.

P.S. If this helps eliminate some of the blogger spam blogs - sblogs - I guess that isn’t so bad. This is my naturally passive selve commenting on a bad situation.

    This is the full movie that was in Tomorrowland from 1985 until it was replaced by “Honey, I Shrunk the Audience.” I believe I saw it two or three times. Does anyone know if they showed it in WDW?

    Walt Disney’s Apartment

    Found this great link to a flash presentation of a tour of Walt Disney’s apartment. Tim O’Day narrates a walk through and then you can click to hear more about certain areas of the apartment. For those who don’t know, this apartment is over the fire house on Main Street. They leave a light on in the window everyday to remember Walt Disney by.
