I’m a sucker for the Carousel of Progress. Big time. Just this last week Amy and I were wandering through the Magic Kingdom with no real plan of attack. Or so it seemed. Amy’s not such a huge fan of the Carousel, but I knew I needed to see if John’s lumbago was acting up. I very [...]
Disney’s Imagineers set up a scale model of the entire Fantasyland expansion project last week. I put the video of it up only because it was pretty awesome. I kind of want one in my basement.
Disney’s Imagineers set up a complete 3D miniature model of the new Fantasyland expansion project this morning. It was quite awesome. Here’s a few images the massive model, which gives a great view of what it will all look like when it’s done:
This is incredible. ImagineeringDisney.com has an amazing “Back Yard Imagineering” piece about Alex George and how he created a moving, working Main Street Electrical Parade in miniature. The site has the inside story and tons of great behind-the-scenes pics showing how he did it, so go there and read it. In the meantime, check out [...]

I’m seeing reports/Tweets that Storybook Circus – the first phase of the new Fantasyland expansion – is in soft open right now. Mainly Dumbo. (Edit: Kevin Yee is reporting that Goofini is also part of the soft open.) Are you at WDW? If so, take a walk over and let us know what you see [...]
The Fantasyland expansion seems more real than ever. We’re just a short time away from seeing the first phase unveiled, and now Disney has provided us with a first look inside the still-under-construction Be Our Guest restaurant. Have a look for yourself: The video looks great, and I can’t wait to actually sit down and [...]
What can I say about this image? I saw it while browsing reddit.com this morning and just wanted to put it up so I wouldn’t lose it. A guide dog meeting Mickey’s best friend. A great moment caught on film. Or far more likely, a memory stick. That doesn’t quite have the same ring to [...]
