Don’t feel bad, Joe Rohde! You clearly did everything you could. Sadly, not even the most elite team of Imagineers can cut through my hatred of Avatar. As evidence, I submit to you the entirety of Pandora in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. YEAH, I SAID IT: PANDORA’S NOT THAT GREAT To lay out my thesis, I shall quote myself: Look,...

I’m getting out ahead of my Disney Christmas in July trip report with some avant food reviews! Read all the posts in this trip report here. Onward!

I guess it was inevitable, wasn’t it? It happened – I registered for the Dopey Challenge. Not that that makes me special. LOTS of people registered for Dopey. It was a very competitive registration year; every single event was gone within two hours. What makes it funny is that I really, genuinely, truly wasn’t sure I’d ever do it...
