Theme park fan. I may sound sarcastic, but I actually know what I’m talking about. Don’t take most of what I say seriously. WDW, UOR, Star Wars, Tiki

Happy Q4 I hope your KPIs are up or whatever

Really like how all out Portofino went with their Halloween takeover bar.

Saw some people say this spits on the graves of Claude Coats and such. But IDK, Magic Shots/Photopass operates on a whole other plane from the Imagineering legends. It’s not a fixture in the park. But it’s still weird and gimmicky. Feels more like the kind of thing you’d see as a filter in the app

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Alright, throwing my hat in the ring with all the Iger/Chapek talk.

I don’t think my photos are doing it justice here, but are they converting some of the EWP floats to new lighting? The blue and whites on the leftmost float are way different.

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Undoubtably the most quaint and classic ride in the whole park. There’s something very old about this ride that feels so sincere and charming.

I haven’t watched the fireworks from behind the castle since the days of Wishes.

I have so much nostalgia for this sign in particular

Enchanting

I was complaining BTM is too smooth now but jeez the shake on Space is worse than I remember.

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Wait when did they paint the elevator silver again?

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

My god, Big Thunder is silent and smooth now. Where’s the shake?! It’s so weird

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Thets a big Crane But also hot DAMN mansion is looking so good now. Gloomy and refined. I feel like previously it called attention to itself, now it just sits faded into the trees.

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I guess now they put on brighter lights when you entering/exiting Tiki Room. Really gives you an opportunity to see the details

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

The weather is finally not trying to kill everyone this is so nice

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Looks more like yacht and beach club than it does boardwalk. But whatever they’re so close.

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Dang, TTC pre Epcot just made so much sense and was so clean and symmetrical.

As front-most as possible view today of a Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift car in pull testing. A scoop will be installed later in the hood of this car. Themed as a 1970 Dodge Charger. Tires also will be added later.

Fascinating early master plan for Universal Studios Florida I've never seen before that was more a direct copy of Hollywood, just with all of the pieces rearranged. Full backlot and tram tour with many of the mainstays like Colonial Street, Parting of the Red Sea, and even Battle of Galactica.

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Insane to think that the coaster that was previously here closed 12 months ago. They tore it down and built a brand new one in 12 months.

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Love it when it’s gold

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

The line for GotG keeps growing and doubling so I’m calling it. This is close enough right?

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Exclusive drink for the 21st! The Supernova Sip punches a kick with that spicy syrup. Careful though, that cotton candy melts immediately!

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Current wait is 115. I’ll come back later.

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

You can say that again!

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

It was nasty dark clouds and rain when I left the office. Glad it’s cleared out and gotten beautiful

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Should would have been 9 today 💔

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Insane how fast this has come together. WDI is really speeding up their work processes. The digital to physical process has come so far and it’s letting them figure out how to do all this off site and slotting it together quickly. I’m impressed by the logistics and economics of how they build now.

2 photos of a tarp covered Mazda that seems ready for pull testing at Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift. Seems like the plan is to pull in reverse direction. This car travelling perhaps first by motors through the station, back to the brake run. Where the pull begins.

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I really love this version of Main Street. It feels so whimsical- exactly the right tone for a magic kingdom park. It goes back to the original Paris Main Street concepts of it being in the 20s, but injects a new life into it with the characters. Modernizing it while still fitting with the others

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

This, Lost Continent, Kong having issues, and JP under refurb…. IoA is having a rough one.

Now Strongwater over at Saphire is where you go for some tiki-esque drinks. The Cursed Jungle Bird is smooth, aperol forward. The Pumpkin Plunderer is a suprise hit- the coconut and pumpkin play perfectly together.

Taking a dive

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Neat, but I’m not thrilled on updating the music.

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

If I had a nickel for every Kong animatronic that caught on fire, I would have two nickels.

I was a huge Gertie Stan when I worked at DHS. She was such a weird and obscure thing with no love. It’s so crazy to see how far we’ve come.

It's a REALLY clean effect. When we were there, a guy saw one move very slightly and was trying to hard to convince his wife it moved. She did not believe him and was concerned he was going crazy because it's that clean.

Alex @imagineer2017.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Old Timers: What was the layout of the Magic of Disney Animation before the studio closed? The attraction layout with the courtyard in the middle never made sense to me (even in this new version it's awkward).
