It's that special time of year. The time where we again learn that theme park fans do not watch enough sports to understand how tournament brackets work. I am still trying to figure out how you advance from the Final Four here. Does the top right play the top left (which would be wrong), or does the top left play the bottom left (which is not what is pictured). Image

Boss: "We need a headline for the unexpected death of one of the most famous people that has ever lived."

Reporter: "Hmm let me think, um, Walt Disney Dies.... movie.... tv.... notable."

Boss: "Copy, print it." Image Boss: "Boys the Hartford Courant fumbled this one. Now, if you had to describe Walt D-"

Reporter: "DREAM MERCHANT" Image

I am so thrilled with the positive response to FastPass: A Complicated History. There was so much thought, energy, love, and eventually desperation that went into this video. I wanted to share some of the little details I put in the video for those that have watched it already. First, the music. I wrote most all of it. I felt the synth music gave the feeling of combing through data, and the synths I chose were meant to resemble bouncing balls since the dots would be a major visual element of the video.

It’s amazing how the minute Disney takes away complimentary FastPass+ suddenly it was this incredible service and not a living nightmare that destroyed the ability to have a consistently positive experience at the parks. The reason you needed FastPass is because Fastpass made standby impossibly long. It seems like the new system will prevent this, so the real value of your ticket, the entering the park and riding rides part, will actually have value separate from your ability to play the FP game.

YouTube ending their community captions feature is ridiculous. Excuse the bluntness, but the answers to the problems that they cited are so obvious that everyone involved should be embarrassed verging on ashamed of themselves. "Rarely used"

YouTube still redirects me to Creator Studio Classic when I want to update my captions. You overhaul EVERYTHING about YouTube Studio over the period of a year and do NOTHING to captioning.

Let's take a break from everything and learn about amusement park history...

Specifically, Funtown in Atlanta, the park that Yolanda King wanted to visit so badly, but couldn't because of racism and bigotry. Dr. King tells the story best:

Funtown was a very small park with a hefty advertising budget. It seemed to be closer to the bowling alley/mini golf/go-kart hybrid parks we're used to seeing today.

I believe this is a picture of it, but have not been able to confirm.

Disney and Copyright. A fascinating and complicated topic. In 2024, Mickey Mouse will enter the public domain. Many believe Disney will fight for another copyright extension, but I don’t believe they will. I believe they’ve found a way to protect Mickey Mouse forever... (1/10) In 1998, Disney (and others) fought for an extension to copyright law. This extended the previous extension from 1976, which stated works were protected for 75 years after publication. In 1998, it was extended to 95 years after publication, pushing Mickey’s expiration to 2024.
