We’d watch my mom’s sailing lessons on Saturdays there! They had a shop where everything was from China and I loved it! There was an amazing Belgian waffle restaurant. This is my childhood.

I had no idea what this place was like during its glory days! We had just stumbled upon this area before taking a cruise in 2021. I found it oddly charming - not knowing it's background. Thank you for your write-up and history of it... and it's tie to Disney.🙏

I did this article RIGHT after Boundless Realm came out and it really seems to have just gone unnoticed. It's one of y proudest pieces of research, about the mall that Disney built a knockoff of. The story includes a MURDER!

I've got a few of them....

You should cover the new one, lol

I REFUSE TO DIE UNTIL THE WORLD GETS BETTER DAMMIT XD

I'm not going anywhere, btw. I'm going to keep existing as my authentic self. 🏳️‍⚧️

Im starting “Scoundrels, Villains, and Knaves” by @foxxnolte.bsky.social and once again the bar for historical books has been absolutely shattered by them

Eisner and his Bud Light Lime cowboy hat

Remember when Eisner would just tweet in all caps with zero context BO JACK HORSE MAN IS COMING and we all thought he was just having an episode

That is indeed the house!

Canada has these great double-size Heinz packets that you think would be a top priority for us here in the US but nooooo we just have to keep wasting packets....

From the fellow new Englander: there's plenty of Disney/Uni up here if you know where to look. Take a trip to Sleepy Hollow or Nantucket.

Also, thank you so much. ^^

oh interesting! I shall investigate....

The image features a text excerpt discussing the sale of a cottage by U.S. Steel in 1975, its relevance to the 1976 presidential race between Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford, and mentions related scandals involving U.S. Steel and Ford.

A curious Jimmy Carter & Walt Disney World connection from @foxxnolte.bsky.social's 'Hidden History of Walt Disney World.' a.co/d/iGMciEZ

Chapter 6 explores U.S. Steel's role in building WDW hotels, including their corporate suite cottage for business deals.

We'll miss you, President Carter 🥲

But anyway thanks for sticking by me and basically don't be surprised if shit gets weirder around here. Thank you.

At a certain point I have to admit that devoting my life to making a line go up isn't where I want to be, and I don't know what's next. I'm probably going to experiment with some new things eventually.

In short I have no idea what I'm going to do with myself moving forward. I've been an online content creator in *some form* since I was 13 and guys I'm tired. I'm tired and I feel old.

When blogging dried up in favor of YouTube, I pivoted a writing books. I've now written the three books where I really feel I had something to contribute and I've been feeling very aimless since.

Basically I was able to step into an underserved market. Blogs were just exploding, social media was swelling internet use, and I was in my 20s and full of energy. I've changed and the world has changed a lot.

I've been thinking. I began pursuing WDW history work in 2005 at a point when there were maybe 4 good, very broad resources out there. I was an employee of WDW which meant I was there 3 times a week for free, and felt like nobody was out there doing this research for me.

Wild Thursday night at Foxxy's

That Happy Feeling Nothing in the World Can Buy The modern history of Christmas doesn't go back as far as you might think... and it has a lot to do with department stores and Disneyland!

Re-sharing this because it ended up getting posted after Xmas last year... did you know most of our holiday traditions aren't as old as you think? Quick run-through of the origins of modern Christmas, and reflections on how Disneyland captures them perfectly. www.micechat.com/375754-moder...

Since my sibling isn’t on here I can say that I just bought a @foxxnolte.bsky.social book for Christmas and nobody will know and I won’t ruin the holiday and hey, you should buy a book or two, too! 🏰 🐭
