E82 celebrates #CincoDeMayo by premiering several source films from Mexico's "Grand Fiesta Tour" starring The Three Caballeros!
After years of having the visuals, I recently received the source soundtrack to finally marry sight & sound together.
A "Restoration Showcase" illustrating the laborious process of cleaning and enhancing the Dreamcatcher B-roll has been added to the video!

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
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!
Alright my fellow Xennials,
Here's a blast from the past...

It's the 2nd anniversary of my "Music from The Disney Channel" album.
A comprehensive compilation of compositions used for The Disney Channel’s interstitial programming interspersed with themes from iconic series and specials.
"Tune in" and listen to it today!
Prolific writer and the world's first "Epcot Envangelist", RAY BRADBURY was born on this day in 1920!

Check out a (very) brief overview of Ray's Epcot legacy before watching him reopen THE E82 INSTITUTE!
When the question frequently arises on social media of who shall be our next narrator on Spaceship Earth, the only person that I can see as remotely worthy of that honor is DOUGLAS K MURRAY, whose mellifluous voice is only matched by his marvelous mental acuity.
In fact, he should also write the new script himself!
On a lark, I asked Grok to rewrite the introduction in Douglas' style and I must say the results are stunning!
"Like a Grand and miraculous Spaceship, our planet has sailed through the universe of time, that gleaming orb of human ambition, a monument to our collective yearning to transcend the mundane and grasp the infinite. As we embark on this journey through the annals of civilization, consider this: every step forward, from the first spark of fire to the digital deluge of our age, has been a defiant act against the chaos of existence. Yet, as we marvel at our ingenuity, let us not be so naive as to ignore the shadow cast by our triumphs—our propensity to squander ...
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!
Dearest Supporters,
In honor of Journey into Imagination's birthday, here's your limited-time opportunity to download the pavilion's full soundtrack in CD-quality sound (much higher than the streaming version)!
As a reminder to all my wonderful supporters, the two-hour compilation "A Classic Disney Christmas" is available for your viewing pleasure this holiday season.
