It’s trip report time again! I love trip reports! I’m recapping my January 2017 trip to WDW for the marathon. Onward! My morning began with my dad waking me up five minutes before my alarm was even set to go off, but I can’t really complain seeing as how he was giving me a ride to the airport. (Always...

You’re familiar with “Westworld,” right? The new HBO show more so that the movie, featuring a future theme park characterized by audio-animatronics that are indistinguishable from real humans, leaping handily over the uncanny valley until you shoot them in the head and they actually die. The bullets won’t kill real people. Which leads me to one thing that drives...

If I were asked to pick a single word to describe the WDW Marathon, I would go with this: AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN!

“Alan Tudyk is a national treasure,” my friend Bob posted to social media the other day. “You really must see Moana,” I replied. And then Bob sent me this. JUST LIKE I SAID. This is my Christmas present to you all. Watch it when your mother is driving you nuts. Watch it instead of punching your brother in the...

I have done it! I have completed the rite of passage! I can call myself a real runner now! That’s right: I lost a toenail. I don’t know why. I didn’t injure it in any way. And I will not describe the progression of normal-to-abnormal toenail because probably you’d rather hear about anything, anything else in the world instead,...

I know – everyone’s doing it. But how can you not? Last November, I did not set foot in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Not once. Why bother? Rock ‘n Roller Coaster was done, I had no companion goading me into Tower of Terror, and the Great Movie Ride and Star Tours, while fun, are hardly enough to lure me alone....
