May the Fourth Be With you! To celebrate Star Wars Day, Joe Darthmaz brings you the Rise of the Resistance pre-show mission briefing featuring Rey, BB-8, Poe Dameron, Lieutenant Beck, and Nien Numb.
Featuring “hologram” technology and a BB-8 animatronic, this first of several pre-show components of the amazing Rise of the Resistance attraction launches you into the immersive world of sequel-era Star Wars.
With filmed appearances by the actual actors (Daisy Ridley and Oscar Isaac,) this pre-show kicks off the attraction with an authenticity and immersion that never lets up until you are exiting the last ride vehicle.
If you have not had the chance to experience it in person and you are even remotely entertained by Star Wars, Rise of the Resistance is a must-do for you. In my humble opinion, Rise is the best theme park attraction in all of Florida. We will bring you more of the Rise of the Resistance attraction and eventually the entire experience, so stay tuned.

Return to the warmth and whimsy
of Ratatouille in one of Walt Disney World's newest trackless dark rides,
Remy's Ratatouille Adventure. A mixture of 3D screen projections and a few
practical sets, this is a clone of the Disneyland Paris attraction of the same
name.
Although unique in concept, this iteration of trackless dark ride was perfected in the Star Wars Rise of the Resistance, the best theme park attraction I personally have ever experienced.
Still, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure is not without its fun and charm. It may be a bit screen heavy, but it includes all of the characters you fell in love with in the film and it delivers enough to bring a smile to even the crabbiest guest's face. It also brings another much-needed attraction to Epcot World Showcase, distracting park goers for a while longer from the free-flowing booze that now permeates the park. You may not want to wait for an hour or more, but if you can keep your wait under that, you should not miss this attraction.
Part of this video are a bit dark, even though it was shot in 4k, due to the low light levels of the ride itself. My apologies.

Walter Elias Disney died in 1966 and to many in modern society, the words Walt Disney are little more than part of a huge media conglomerate's corporate moniker. However, Walt Disney was the source, the heart, the soul, the driving force, and the legend behind so much of what media and more specifically, themed entertainment has become today, almost sixty years after his death.
The Disney Parks, particularly Walt Disney World, have in recent years suffered from a serious drift away from Walt Disney's original vision of what themed entertainment should be and how it should be enjoyed by the public. While it is true that society's tastes and level of sophistication (or lack thereof) have changed and evolved in the decades since his passing, Walt had a unique and accurate assessment of what the public wanted from entertainment, which is why his company, legacy, and ideology have endured for so many years after his death.
One of the last vestiges of Walt Disney's vision and genius is still (thankfully) alive and well in Walt Disney World,. It is called the Walt Disney Carousel of Progress. Originally, presented at the 1964-5 World's Fair in Queens, New York as "Progressland," the Carousel of Progress offered visitors a view of how a fictional family evolves through four generations of technological advancements.
Walt Disney, ever an optimist, futurist, and patriotic American, wholeheartedly believed that human beings could solve many of the problems plaguing society with ingenuity, technology, and gritty hard work and determination. Many of the these themes are present in the Carousel of Progress. In fact, the theater itself was, at the time it debuted, a technological marvel, as it employed a seating area that rotated around a stationary stage depicting four different scenes.
The attraction also features the iconic song "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" from Academy Award winning composers Robert and Richard Sherman, unfortunately abbreviated in the this video to avoid YouTube copyright strikes.
While the last scene is often mocked for its dated look at the future, Carousel of Progress remains a classic and iconic Disney attraction that should not be missed when visiting Walt Disney World and should never be permanently closed.

For generations, one of the nuances that separated Disney
Parks from your run of the mill theme parks were entertainment experiences that
you would just wander into as you plowed through your park day. Although the
cost cutting and monetization of every minute of your day has eliminated many
of these experiences, there are some that still remain.
One of these unique and smile-inducing experiences is the
Casey's Corner Pianist, located on the side of the famous Magic Kingdom quick
service hot dog location. This talented and engaging musician plays
"ragtime tunes from a bygone era," for the enjoyment of the Casey's
Corner patrons dining in the outdoor seating area, as well as any passers by
making their way through the park.
Joe Darthmaz was lucky enough to be passing by when one of
these talented musicians was making magic with his fingers, playing a tune at
an ever-increasing pace, which couldn't help bring a smile to my face.
So, enjoy a taste here at Joe Darthmaz and next time you're
in the Magic Kingdom, take a second to appreciate the remaining
"streetmosphere" entertainment like this that still remains, before
it, like so many others of its kind, are budget cut away forever!
