ABC's review on Disney/Pixars Brave! →
My response is below, but I would consider there to be a pretty major spoiler in the review. Click with caution.

caution. reveals plot line, but no real spoilers.
Well, it reveals one major spoiler. But alas, my efforts to avoid all spoilers has been for naught. How movie critics manage to forget how to write around...

muscatojamie asked: The story about the last person to ever ride SWSA was so heartwarming and bittersweet. It was amazing. I cried at the end and ugh... it was just amazing and wonderful.

innsmouthharborseafoodcompany-d asked: Loved that last post about Mark27, the two Goofys, and the lemonade. Cracking good read, fine sir. Do you have any tales/insights into the NoS kitchen complex? Tales of adventure or tomfoolery/plain every day work and non-guest visible actions down there? :) If not, that's fine too :)

thesirenofhats asked: Maybe you could answer this question for me, since you were a cast member around this time: My grandma and I once saw the ghost of Goofy on the balcony of the Haunted Mansion. I vaguely remember it (I think I was 3 or 4, I believe it was a cast member dressed as Goofy from Mickey's Christmas Carol), but ever since then whenever my grandma has mentioned it to other cast members, they just...

WatchLight Magic wasn’t exactly the best-received show when it premiered in 1997 (it didn’t make it to 1998), but I think people were just upset that it wasn’t the Main Street Electrical Parade. I remember the boos during the AP preview. I hated seeing the heartbroken performers backstage after the show. They danced their tails off to a completely unappreciative crowd who had seemed...

thank-your asked: would you mind sharing your opinion on why DCA was/is such a failure? i have only been once, in 2003, and was 14 at the time. i don't think i loved it as much as WDW, but i don't remember my parents or i feeling disappointed, either. so i'm just curious as to why everyone finds it so laughable.

Eisner: Hey guys, look, I put a second park in Californi—
Iger: Fixed that for you.
Eisner: …
Iger: yw
When the plan was to open WESTCOT as the second park in Anaheim, Disney planned on spending $3 billion to build it.
After EuroDisney flopped at first, Eisner changed his mind and built California Adventure instead for only $800 million.
It took 11 years to fix Eisner’s...
Also, as long as we’re on the subject, thank you to all of you for letting me live vicariously through your own Disney experiences here on tumblr. It keeps me, at least in my own mind, close to the magic.

phantomcaptain asked: Can I just say, that your story was amazing. Even if you don't work at Disneyland anymore, it just reminds me of how much I respect the CM's. On my last trip, I got to 'steer' the Mark Twain for the second time, and the CM was so nice. We talked about Disney history and secrets along the Rivers like the burning cabin and even Narture's Wonderland (Which my mom got to ride...

the-beautiful-briny asked: Hello, I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned this already, but I read the ghost story you linked from 'Pony with a Fez' and thought I should let you know about what I accidentally found; a "Death and Injuries report" for July 1st 1995, stating that "A 17-year-old Anaheim girl working as a hostess on the Star Tours ride fractures her skull after falling onto the...
