Just when we thought Disney’s Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser was dead and buried, it’s crawling back from the wreckage. Jay over at the Drunk3PO YouTube channel—a trusted voice on all things Disney—recently covered the announcement of a fan-funded documentary attempting to immortalize the final days of the Galactic Starcruiser. Titled Halcyon Daze: The Final Voyages of Disney’s Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, the documentary has raised over $18,000 via Kickstarter, aiming to glorify what can only be described as one of Disney’s most expensive missteps in recent history.
A massive fire broke out this evening behind EPCOT’s France Pavilion, sending thick black smoke billowing into the sky and rattling guests throughout the park. The smoke could be seen clearly from various vantage points around EPCOT, with sirens blaring as fire trucks raced to the scene.

The new Haunted Mansion gift shop—Madame Leota’s Somewhere Beyond—is making waves in the news, though, once again, not positively. Following a significant flooding incident that exposed serious design flaws, Disney has decided to redesign the store to ensure that it can better withstand future challenges and maintain its aesthetic alongside the main attraction.
It seems like Disney is once again turning its back on the families who built its empire in favor of the DINK (Dual Income No Kids) crowd and so-called Disney Adults. The latest evidence? EPCOT’s brand-new GEO-82 Spaceship Earth lounge, which is making headlines not for family-friendly offerings, but for being an exclusive, adults-only experience.
I’ve spent the last hour or so listening to some wonderful music from the past—not the Mozart kind of past, but the EPCOT past, and it made me think more than just warm, nostalgic, and happy thoughts of good times back in those yester-decades called the 1980’s which, I know, many of you were not blessed to be around in.

Universal Orlando has made a major move in the battle for Orlando theme park dominance by officially releasing single-day tickets for its highly anticipated Epic Universe park. Until now, tickets for the park were only available as part of multi-day bundles, ensuring guests committed to extended stays at Universal’s resort.
There has been much talk about how Disney is seeing its summer bookings "go up" even as Epic Universe gets ready to open. From my vantage point, I don't always pay attention to what companies like TWDC say publicly with carefully worded phrases. Instead, I'm more...
Former Walt Disney Imagineering Senior VP Eddie Sotto has once again challenged Disney’s controversial decision to bulldoze the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island at Magic Kingdom. But this time, he isn’t just criticizing—he’s offering a fully imagined alternative that would preserve the park’s history while still allowing Disney to build its planned Cars and Villains expansions.
For decades, Walt Disney Imagineering was the gold standard of theme park innovation, balancing timeless storytelling with technological breakthroughs to create immersive, unforgettable attractions. But in recent years, Imagineering has been consumed by progressive ideology, turning classic rides into sanitized, politically correct shells of their former selves.
Walt Disney World has long been a place of nostalgia, where memories are made that will last a lifetime, where generations have enjoyed the classic attractions that make up its rich history.
