I love the concept that we're experiencing Walt’s idea of what pirates feel like, his specific visions and emotional palette.

"[Walt Disney] didn't like the idea of telling stories in this medium. It's not a story telling medium. But it does give you experiences. You experience the idea of pirates. You don't see a story that starts at the beginning and ends with, 'By golly, they got the dirty dog.' It wasn't that way."

WOW

Not sure if I’m into the carousel theme but I love the layout. What a different world.

Ooooo that is NICE

Ooooof I hate it

This feels like it's deep from within my childhood brain.

If you're familiar with Bob Moline's work in EPCOT, you'll hear shades of it all over his earlier work.

The music is so good, and it's so sad he's not around anymore.

I don't know about you, but I would prefer these GALACTIC GIFTS FROM TOMORROW.

Before Splash Mountain, There Was Mountain Torrent - ImagiNERDing Mountain Torrent, Frederic Thompson’s 1906 Luna Park ride, mixed story, water, and thrills—showing Disney’s flumes began at Coney Island.

Before #SplashMountain, there was Mountain Torrent. Built in 1906 at Luna Park, it mixed roller coaster thrills with a raging water flume — decades before #Disney ever dreamed of Br’er Rabbit. www.imaginerding.com/2025/10/06/m...

Oh my gosh that’s the cutest art! Very sweet of them to celebrate me being born 🥰

Please my Labubu, it's sick.

Sure, this is stupid. On the other hand, it's a delightful opportunity to spread chaos.
