Editorial: A ‘Fantasmic!’ Disney Parks memory

There’s that well-known saying, “A moment lasts all of a second, but the memory lives on forever.” If the Disney Parks do one thing best, I would say it’s creating memories. Sure, we all love riding the rides, seeing the shows and enjoying all of the experiences around us, but the memories we take home after our Disney vacations are where the real magic lives in my mind. Even during these difficult times when many vacations are being canceled, it’s refreshing to look back at some of your favorite Disney Parks memories to put a smile on your face.

Guest Editorial: Reimagining The Great Movie Ride

Earlier this year, we celebrated the grand opening of Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Based on the reviews and videos I’ve seen, the ride looks innovative and fantastic — but there will always be a part of me that mourns the loss of the once flagship attraction, The Great Movie Ride.

Guest Editorial: Theme parks need more classic, timeless content

Over the past decade or so, a trend in theme parks has become more and more common. These days, almost all new attractions created are based on modern intellectual properties. But this wasn’t always the case, and I would argue that it’s not always the best thing for the consumer. Yet it’s what’s being given to us, as it does admittedly sell more tickets and merchandise than less popular or unknown properties.

Guest Editorial: Goodbye to a Showcase Spectacular, ‘IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth’

On Sept. 30, 2019, Epcot said goodbye to one of its best firework shows in my opinion, “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth.”
