Don’t feel bad, Joe Rohde! You clearly did everything you could. Sadly, not even the most elite team of Imagineers can cut through my hatred of Avatar. As evidence, I submit to you the entirety of Pandora in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. YEAH, I SAID IT: PANDORA’S NOT THAT GREAT To lay out my thesis, I shall quote myself: Look,...

It’s trip report time again! Read all the posts in this trip report here. Onward! Erika had to catch a morning flight and left around 4am; I have a vague recollection of waving goodbye, but aside from that, I was essentially flying solo for the day.

I mean, I’m sure spots grow scarce the longer...

A Star Wars outfit from me?! An avowed Trekkie?!?! Look, here’s the thing: when it comes to immersive theme, I am highly suggestible. For example, I am probably the only millennial alive today who thinks Harry Potter is, like, fine or whatever. Yes, I read all the books, and I can still take him or leave him. Yet I...

And now for the food review portion of my 2020 WDW Marathon trip. You can read all the posts in this report here. Onward! Finally, Oga’s Cantina! THIS. WAS. SO. COOL. As I have mentioned on several occasions, I 1000% prefer to Trek over Wars with my Stars. But I gotta say, even as an inveterate follower of Captains Picard...
