Apparently, I'm the only one who committed this to memory in my vault.

I just finished reading 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn.' Now, I have so much admiration for how faithful the island and riverboat are to a seminole text of Americana.
Disney Parks all over the world still bear many personal marks of Walt Disney himself, and Tom Sawyer Island is perhaps one of the most personal: bit.ly/2IgrrnX

I highly recommend @TouringPlans Lines subscription for Disneyland. Offical app posted 60 minutes wait for Radiator Springs Racers. Marquee showed 55 min, real wait was 25. I got off the ride and could see the line was shorter. Marquee changed to 60 min, real wait 20.

Of all the things I've written, I might be most proud of MuppetVision 3D. If this is truly the end of its run, I am glad for its time on Earth and the joy of making it. It was the last thing Jim Henson directed.

It may not make any difference, but if you really have strong feelings about the river and Tom Sawyer Island, take 10 minutes and write and send a cordial letter about them to: Mr. Jeff Vahle President, Walt Disney World Resort PO Box 10000 Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830-1000

The last few folks I've 'sold' the idea of going to Magic Kingdom the thing that did it was telling them about Tom Sawyer's Island and Main Street. They wanted their kids to have free play. It blew their mind to find out there is a 'park' inside Magic Kingdom Park.

They waited until after the presentation so they wouldn't get boo'ed. No chance to run into a creative on the expo floor.

Yacht: thin, coated in chocolate on one side and sugar glaze on the other. Really soft. Warm chocolate flavor. First ingredient is honey. Floridian: really thick, coated in thick chocolate. Soft, chocolate and ginger. First ingredient is high gluten flour!?

I'm surprised how different the recipes are for each, but honestly not that different in flavor. Chocolate or not makes the biggest difference, because it holds the moisture and adds sweetness.

Flying home from #RetroMagic I looked out the window at central Florida and had two thoughts inspired by the event: A lot of those lakes are sinkholes filled with muck. Muck that could make a muck wave. The term "weaping oil" to describe old latex audioanimatronic skin.

I capped the night by singing along with Ricky Martin between Swalphin, calling out to the passing group to "Live life!" Reader, that group was the last #RetroMagic panel finally getting a delayed dinner. Reader, the music speakers were directional, they didn't hear the music.

Peggy speaking ancient Egyptian from Spaceship Earth. Apparently she got the same education I did when I had to memorize ancient Greek. Great party trick. #RetroMagic
