Moonlighting at the Vacation Kingdom

In honor of Moonlighting's premiere 40 years ago tonight, here's my popular 2021 "commercial" inspired by the show's opening titles!

"Evoking the sophisticated delights of Walt Disney World during its adolescence, "Moonlighting at The Vacation Kingdom" (set in 1989) showcases the once more mature and most magical place on Earth."

This kingdom is worth saving. #SaveMagicKingdom

Techno Millennium

As part of the Millennium Celebration, the anthem "Celebrate the Future Hand in Hand" was produced in several musical genres including Country, Latin, Pop & Gospel.
I thought I had all of them until I discovered this somewhat forgotten variation as part of a recently contributed archive of theme park music.

The following is the 2OOO "Techno" variation created for the New Year's Eve celebration held nightly on Pleasure Island.

Enjoy!

EPCOT Sails the Seas:

Happy Darby Day!

While the rest of the world views this Leprechaun-sized holiday as an excuse for liberal amounts of libation, every Walt Disney fan knowns St. Patrick's Day as "Darby O'Gill Appreciation Day"

https://vimeo.com/jlhomni/darby1959

Featuring amazing effects, charming characters, Irish folklore and a Banshee sequence with effects and aesthetics that would later find their way into The Haunted Mansion, this 1959 classic has gone missing from streaming in certain large regions of the world as well as being mysteriously non-plussed ;-) by replacing the voice of Darby himself with another actor which makes the "official" version of the film nearly unwatchable.

So for this St. Parick's Day (and all others), E82 Community members can enjoy this Walt Disney classic with Albert Sharpe's real voice and in full HD!

A conversation about a twist with a twist.

Another extremely fascinating AI experiment where I used Grok to conduct analysis on a VERY strange dream I had the other day where in the middle of the process, I revealed that I was also analyzing Grok and things got incredibly intriguing from there!

A Music Purists Paradise
The Official ^Instrumental^ Album of EPCOT Center

Our 15th-anniversary celebration kicks into high gear with this unique tribute to the park's musical repertoire.

Inspired by the once frequent and highly treasured Official Albums of the parks, The Official ^Instrumental^ Album of EPCOT Center, utilizes the latest AI* audio separation models to present, for the first time ever, these classics in purely instrumental form, accompanied by many once-commercially released medleys and augmented by several that should have been.

This fast-paced 2+ hour journey contains several spoilers from future releases making their debut this year so (unlike most) this album will experience an extended preview for supporters only until October!

A Disney Halloween
Now in High Definition

In thanks for your support here's an exclusive preview of a project I've been working on for the past several weeks. 
10 years after my first reconstruction, "A Disney Halloween" has been reassembled once again only this time in full HD with vastly improved audio and many segments restored for the first time ever.
There's a great number of improvements I could list, but for now, let's let the footage speak for itself.
