Galactic Starcruiser An Expensive Nightmare 

This hotel combines two things I can't get enough of, claustrophobia and improv!

"Yes, and"...

You'd have to be stupid not to drop five grand on a windowless immersive experience requiring a cellphone app!  And as we all know, Star Wars fans are some of the kindest, most empathetic, non-gatekeeping, inclusive fandoms out there, so there is absolutely no way any of this could backfire.

 

Sixty is the New 93

 

Celebrating the Mouse's 93rd birthday by revisiting this souvenir magazine from his sixtieth.

...Because we've got his HEAD in cold STORAGE.  by Ray Bradbury.

This incomplete Alien from the Great Movie Ride is the scariest gd thing I've ever seen in my life.

No, wait, this neon Brer Fox is scarier.

Hopefully it's better than what they teach at Cluck U.

One last quick hit of nostalgia before we wrap this thing up, it's Mickey's Birthdayland!

Look, I know I was "too old" for this sort of thing in 1988, but I was 100% unironically fascinated by Mickey's Birthdayland as a kid.  It was a real life Duckburg! It had the statue of Cornelius Coot and everything! You could go inside Mickey's house!!

My then-girlfriend now-wife and I went to Disney in 2005 and I took as many pictures as I could of "Mickey's Toontown Fair" because you just knew it wasn't long for the 'World.  Don't get me wrong, the Barnstormer is great, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss Birthdayland just a little.

This explains quite a bit, actually

Mickey Was Sixty

 

Time-Life commemorative magazine "Mickey Is Sixty!" from 1988.  This magazine has been crammed on my bookshelf for the past 33 years, which is why it's so wrinkled.

27 dollars for a VHS tape?

That's more like it.

Most of these movies are still unsung, even in the Disney Plus era. Ichabod Crane and Mr. Toad is more boring than you remember, Three Caballeros still slaps.

Gen Z would 100% wear these clothes today.
