Thoughts, observations, & bad jokes about theme parks, travel, technology, music and baseball. In search of a great big beautiful tomorrow. https://worldkey.io/@matt Signal: matt.90 (he/him)

Hoping the rest of Strange New Worlds isn't just a tour of genres applied every week to the characters. Ep 1 was kinda ok, didn't care for ep 2 all that much this season.

Over at the Howard Johnson across the street from Disneyland, they have an awesome suite inspired by the House of the Future! We really enjoyed our stay. 🚀

There's certainly room to take issue over the creative direction of the parks during Iger's tenure, but Iger also deserves a lot of credit for eliminating the Strategic Planning department and starting to spend big on ambitious E-ticket attractions and immersive lands in the parks again.

Anyone get the $300 gift card from signing up for the new Disney Visa and have issues with the gift card? Mine shows a balance but I can't use it 🤦🏻‍♂️

I mistimed my "stuck at home stupid electronics project" for today's blizzard (it is just starting now) but it came out pretty good. Stay warm everyone!

Visited Bell Works today, one of Bell Labs' former locations where much of modern technology was invented. It also serves as HQ for Lumon in "Severance". It was designed by Eero Saarinen, who also designed the TWA terminal at JFK, the Gateway Arch, and a lot of other cool buildings.

I don't say this sort of thing lightly because it is impossible to know but Jim would have loved this. The Muppet Show is back!

Kinda bummed about canceling this one but the CSR refresh last year was way too expensive and too complicated to make sense for me 💸

I knew Walt filmed a ton of Disneyland's construction, and now we finally get to see so much of it. Disneyland Handcrafted was great. Also wonderful to hear voices of people I've read about and seen photos of - but never knew what they sounded like! youtu.be/YtrVcOxVDls
