Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Final: A new park in a unique American landscape Disney’s Realms of Discovery #RealmsOfDiscovery #ArmchairImagineering 110
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 14/09/2026When night falls across Discovery Lagoon, the realms gather for a shared moment. Fireworks, water, music and light bring the stories of the park together beneath a darkened sky. #RealmsOfDiscovery #ArmchairImagineering 110
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Completing the loop around Discovery Lagoon, the path climbs into the cliffs. Small riverside structures give little indication of what lies ahead. Then the landscape opens. Welcome to the Wakandan countryside. #RealmsOfDiscovery #ArmchairImagineering 100
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Majapahit Harbor is fully revealed. Across jungle trails, ancient ruins, shipyards and open water, adventure is shaped by exploration, craftsmanship and the people who know these seas. Next land: Monday, 08/31 #RealmsOfDiscovery #ArmchairImagineering 010
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Along the shore of Majapahit Harbor, jungle has swallowed what remains of a great stone temple. Indiana Jones: Temple of the Sumatran Tiger turns that landscape into a sprawling, adventurous terrain coaster. #RealmsOfDiscovery #ArmchairImagineering 120
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 24/08/2026An expansive Southeast Asia maritime realm of shipbuilding, island exploration and adventure rises from the jungle. Temple ruins appear ahead. Welcome to Majapahit Harbor #RealmsOfDiscovery #ArmchairImagineering 110
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 21/08/2026The land inspired by the Silk Road is revealed. Here, goods cross borders, but so do stories, inventions, and ideas. From Chang’an to Venice, every path leaves something behind. Next land: Monday 08/24 #RealmsOfDiscovery #ArmchairImagineering 000
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 19/08/2026In Chang’an, young inventor Li Jun studies strange drawings carried across the Silk Road, ideas we recognize from Leonardo da Vinci. He rebuilds them in bamboo, silk and kite fabric. “If ideas can travel... so can we.” #RealmsOfDiscovery #ArmchairImagineering 110
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Beyond the Games, the path follows the water eastward. Gardens give way to a landscape shaped by the trade routes we know as the Silk Road. Welcome to The Silk Exchange. #RealmsOfDiscovery #ArmchairImagineering 110
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Olympia is fully revealed. This sacred valley gathers athletes, artists, philosophers and heroes. Its challengers test their celebrity status with a test of character. Next land: Monday 08/17 #RealmsOfDiscovery #ArmchairImagineering 010
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Deep in the valley of Olympia burns the eternal flame. In the Prytaneion begins The Laurel & the Flame, a hybrid dark ride through training grounds, story, myth and the many paths to Pan-Hellenic excellence. It culminates in the roar of the games. #RealmsOfDiscovery #ArmchairImagineering 110
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Beyond Port Alexandria, the path winds under a dense canopy of trees beside sacred waters. Ahead: temples, training grounds and the eternal flame. Welcome to Olympia. #RealmsOfDiscovery #ArmchairImagineering 110
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Fully revealed: Port Alexandria The Library gathers thought. The Pharos Lighthouse guides ships through darkness. The House of Stories carries memory forward. The Great Pyramids remind us what can endure. Next Land: Monday, 08/10 #RealmsOfDiscovery #ArmchairImagineering 010
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 06/08/2026In the heart of Port Alexandria stands the Great Library. In Realms of Discovery, it is an active vessel for the collection, preservation and movement of thought. It is, in many ways, the thesis attraction for the entire park. Inside: Great Minds of Antiquity. #RealmsOfDiscovery 110
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Rising high above the wide Discovery Lagoon, the Pharos Lighthouse is a signal toward the realms still hidden beyond the trees. More than Port Alexandria’s icon, it is a fully explorable monument. #RealmsOfDiscovery #ArmchairImagineering 110
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Across the water, the order of the White City begins to dissolve. Palm trees close overhead. A reflection pool leads the eye forward. Ahead, the Pharos Lighthouse appears. Welcome to Port Alexandria. #RealmsOfDiscovery #ArmchairImagineering 121
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Realms of Discovery’s expansive entry land, The White City, is completely revealed! Next up: Our first realm beyond the World’s Fair. Monday, 08/03 #RealmsOfDiscovery #ArmchairImagineering 030
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 30/07/2026The Thatch Intramural Causeway takes a simple park-circling transit route and turns it on its head. What appears to be a rail connection between the White City and the park’s northern reaches quickly proves far less direct than advertised. #RealmsOfDiscovery #ArmchairImagineering 100
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 29/07/2026When knowledge is shared, progress accelerates. In the newest article, Realms of Discovery moves to the edge of the exposition, where industry roars, folklore takes the stage and discovery begins to break through the trees. #RealmsOfDiscovery #ArmchairImagineering 120
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 23/07/2026The first true reveal is water. Article 02 explores the Grand Basin, where the Administration Building and its accompanying exposition halls form the civic heart of Realms of Discovery. Next article up Monday, 07/27 #RealmsofDiscovery #ArmchairImagineering 000
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 20/07/2026At last, the clouds have lifted over the White City. Beyond the entrance to Realms of Discovery, the first true reveal is water: a vast civic landscape of monumental halls, gardens, sculpture and spectacle gathered around the Grand Basin. #RealmsOfDiscovery 120
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 13/07/2026No civilization advances alone. Across history, humanity has built places for exchange: fairs, markets, academies, ports, sacred sites, and civic forums where the world felt larger, closer and more connected. Realms of Discovery begins there. #RealmsOfDiscovery 240
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 06/07/2026This summer, the world has celebrated moments that remind us how powerful it can be when people gather around shared ideas, culture, and competition. I wanted to share a very small teaser of my upcoming project: 130

Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 17/07/2025Last week I posted the final to my idea for a 2nd park at Shanghai Disney Resort. Here it is in context with the surrounding resort area. #ShanghaiDisneyResort #EpcotCenter #ArmchairImagineering 040

Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 10/07/2025Capturing the early spirit of the republic, the American pavilion is rich in colonial tradition and storybook patriotism, marked by tall steeples and cupolas that rise above the trees and catch the eye across the lagoon. #ShanghaiDisney #Epcot #WorldShowcase #USA 010
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 10/07/2025This compact pavilion offers a rich blend of experiences: live music in a glade, character meet & greets, a waterfront bar, cultural center, both table and quick service dining, a theater film, and a ‘fun for the whole family’ Disney boat ride. #ShanghaiDisney #Epcot #WorldShowcase #Brazil 010
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 10/07/2025The Wonder of China Pavilion does more as a host pavilion to The World Showcase going beyond the recognizable edifice to show a broader look at the nation’s culture rich regions and legendary mystique of its landscape. #ShanghaiDisney #Epcot #WorldShowcase #China 010
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 25/06/2025The India Pavilion blends rich culture and architectural craftsmanship in a lush jungle landscape. With vibrant markets, authentic cuisine, and a family-friendly flume ride, it makes a captivating addition to Shanghai’s World Showcase. #ShanghaiDisneyResort #EpcotCenter #WorldShowcase #India 030
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 24/06/2025The Russia Pavilion is charming and grand and speaks to greatness of its people. Although the plans doomed to materialize in Florida, maybe they can exist here in Shanghai Disney Resort. #ShanghaiDisneyResort #EpcotCenter #WorldShowcase #RussianPavilion 000
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 23/06/2025The Polynesian Outpost: This plan brings together Polynesian experiences from across the Disney Parks into one cohesive outpost, offering a richer experience than Florida’s outpost that feels more like an afterthought. #WorldShowcase #PolynesianOutpost 010
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 23/06/2025Continuing our journey through Shanghai’s Epcot Center, we now enter the World Showcase. #ShanghaiDisneyResort #EpcotCenter #WorldShowcase 110
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 18/06/2025The original magic of Imagination is brought back to life in this reimagining of the classic 1983’s Epcot Center pavilion while guiding dreamers to turn sparks of inspiration into the boundless creations of imagination. #EpcotCenter #Imagination 010
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 13/06/2025Through the gate to the left of the central plaza, we enter the more organic side of the park: Epcot Nature. Here, each pavilion is obscured behind a tree-covered berm with glass geometric forms rising above the canopy. #EpcotNature 140
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 05/06/2025Through the gate to the right of Epcot Center Plaza, the path leads to Epcot Discovery, home to the Speed, Space, and Horizons Pavilions, plus the Home of the Future. 130
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 05/06/2025This area serves as the crossroads to the entire park experience. From here, paths extend in every direction making it the central jumping-off point for all that Epcot has to offer. #ShanghaiDisneyResort #EpcotCenter 020
Jared Long @longjaredw.bsky.social · 03/06/2025Park Entry: The welcome plaza offers a few inviting paths: make a beeline for Spaceship Earth entrance, pause by the fountain, or stroll beneath the towering presence of the iconic sphere. The park awaits. 010
