Disney Parks Animatronic Tournament: Bracket B/Tier 2 Round 2

Phantom: Phantom Manor - Disneyland Paris

Sonny Eclipse: Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe - Magic Kingdom Disney World

Propaganda:

"This guy HATES his mother in law and has an army of ghosts to sing songs with him. he could have and should have sweeped the tumblr sexyman poll.""Best meal and a show you can get at magic kingdom""He’s a classic. You get to eat and watch him do his little show. Only of the only animatronics outside of a ride so you can admire him for as long as you like. He’s a funky space music man."

Before there was Sonny Eclipse, there was Captian Zzzzyxxx- a security guard at Tokyo Disneyland's version of Star Tours! The character design and molds were reused when his cousin Sonny Eclipse was added to Tomorrowland in 1994- and he's been delighting guests ever since!

Gotta let my parents know that I want to eat at a mediocre fast food place in Disney World so I can watch an animatronic alien sing.

Hello ya'll! I recently visited Disneyworld and fell in love with Sonny Eclipse, and came up with a grand idea to make a whole fanfiction for him and his rise to stardom! It's currently only on AO3, but I plan on making a separate blog for the creation once I get a few chapters in. For now, have this piece of fanart I made on the drive home and a link to the fic!

Stuques disney world hcs bc i’ll officially be a disney adult in 16 days 🥺🥺

💜-Jacques’s favorite ride is Remy’s ratatouille adventure (he loves the france pavilion at Epcot in general because it reminds him of home <3)

💜-Jacques would be so scared of any type of roller coaster. Even though Stu isn’t the biggest fan of them, he still enjoys a few roller coasters at Disney, namely Big Thunder Mountain. Jacques would be so nervous, he’d hold onto Stu tightly the whole time instead of holding the lap bar or anything lmaoo

💜-Jacques looooves the haunted mansion because he finds the animatronics and effects so impressive, Bro would actually get highkey scared by the jumpscares no matter how many times he rides it😭

💜-Jacques’s favorite type of ride is dark rides! He’s not the biggest fan of thrill rides though, especially not rollercoasters. He’d never admit he’s scared of them though and he’d be clenching the lap bar for dear life on even the tamest rollercoasters.

💜-Jacques loves it when Stu infodumps to him about the different rides, how they work and the changes that have been made to them over the years, etc. He doesn’t really understand it at all (himbo moment) but he loves listening to Stu talk about his special interests! (Stu’s especially interested in the history of Spaceship Earth, and how many abandoned animatronics are still in the ride, only hidden to riders)

💜-Stu gets very overstimulated by the fireworks, so Jacques and Stu both go into a restaurant (Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe is their fave) and sip on their drinks and talk about their favorite things they’ve done that day.

💜-I think Jacq would be the kinda guy to want to drink around the world in Epcot (in moderation ofc tho.) Stu doesn’t really drink though so he’d just share snacks with Jacques:3

💜-Whenever Jacques finds out that the Pop Century hotel has a bowling pin pool he would automatically book that hotel LMAOO

💜-Jacques knows Stu sunburns easily, so he makes sure to take plenty of sunscreen in his park bag for him. He also has all of the water bottle refilling stations memorized before the trip even begins.

💜-Stu would make reservations for a fancy french restaurant in the France pavilion as a surprise for Jacques teehee ;3

I don't know much if anything at all about Tomorrowland, so forgive me if this question doesn't apply, I am just curious!

Do you have a favorite restaurant from Tomorrowland? What does it look like, and what's the food like? Do you have any particular memories from there that you'd care to share? :)

hi! oh do i have an answer for this one!

cosmic ray’s starlight cafe is the one that stands out most in my memory-which is definitely helped by the restaurant’s presence in the park! the food there was practically just stock-standard earth foods, but the place was owned by ray, an alien, so some of it was… uniquely interpreted. the chicken noodle there was something special for me, with chunks of noodles and cubed chicken.

it’s also the spot my pal sonny eclipse played his astro-organ most frequently! i loved getting to see him play in the evenings.✨

🎵𝑺𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒚: 𝑺𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝑨𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒍𝒔, 𝑰 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖. 𝑺𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝑨𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒍𝒔: 𝑼𝒔 𝒕𝒐𝒐...🎵

Many Disney fans might recognize Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe's lounge singer and astro-organ player, Sonny Eclipse, along with his "invisible" backup singers, the Space Angels.

As you can see here, the lovely, yet non-visible ladies are making sure that they'll be able to give Sonny their valentines which are anything but invisible. Although Sonny will soon have to wash off their "gifts" because his six-eyed sweetheart might get pretty jealous and scare away the Space Angels despite being unable to see them.

The Space Angels' designs were based off the ones done by TessaLovesOzzy on Deviantart (tessalovesstuff on Instagram).

Hope you guys have a great V-day.

I don't the rights to these characters.

The Happiest Place on Earth: A Journey Through Magic Kingdom, Where Dreams Come True!

Photo by Unsplash

My favorite time to visit Magic Kingdom is in December. With seasonal displays and events like Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, the park is exquisitely decked out for the winter season.

The Magic Kingdom offers a magnificent world full of well-known characters, great attractions, and magical experiences. It is the epitome of the Disney experience. Here is an outline and some advice to help you get the most out of your trip:

Arrive Early: Arrange to arrive at Magic Kingdom before the park opens to make the most of your time and avoid crowds. This enables you to visit the park during its calm hours and experience well-known attractions with reduced lines.

Well-known rides: Don't forget to ride the well-known attractions! As per me, the most liked rides are:

Big Thunder Mountain

Haunted Mansion

Pirates of the Caribbean

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

Space Mountain

TRON

Castle Parades and Shows: Don't miss the magnificent parades and shows that happen every day throughout. Disney magic is amplified with the Happily Ever After fireworks display and Festival of Fantasy parade, which are both must-attend events.

Make reservations for meals in advance at restaurants with table service. Plan ahead to reserve your chosen dining experiences because popular choices like Be Our Guest Restaurant and Cinderella's Royal Table frequently sell out. Additionally, Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe and Casey's Corner are excellent dining establishments that do not require reservations. Try the dole whip from Aloha Isle, a hot cinnamon roll from Gaston's Tavern, and the Friar's Nook's creamy bacon macaroni and cheese tots.

Ultimately, don't forget to take breaks and stroll among the park's charming stores and picturesque sights. Enjoy the ambiance and lose yourself in Disney's fantastical world at Magic Kingdom!

Disney Parks Animatronic Tournament: Bracket B/Tier 2 Round 6

Murphy/Fantasmic dragon: Fantasmic - Disneyland version

Propaganda:

"Listen. I know this dragon is famous for exploding. But also the sight of that head emerging from fog and a giant dragon looming over the stage I had walked on earlier that day did formative things to little me."

(go to 20:58 for good view of animatronic ) 

Statler and Waldorf: Muppet*Vision 3D - Hollywood Studios Disney World, Disney California Adventure (formerly)

Propaganda:

"Waldorf: “Do we have time to go to the bathroom before the next show?” Statler: “We can’t, you old fool. We’re bolted to the seats!” These animatronics are the next best thing to having the real puppets sitting there in the balcony doing what they do best--heckling the Muppets."

[antnjo]

Time for a quick refill, so two kids meals from Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. I can’t get over the areas most restaurants have where you can get all the toppings you desire.

[chvrch-kinboards]

hello! i'm back again! i would love to request a moodboard this time, if that's alright! i would love for it to include space imagery, machinery, aliens, or imagery along the lines of retrofuturism, atomic-age, cassette futurism, or cyberprep aesthetics. i'd would, if you can find a fitting image, also love at least one image of cosmic ray's starlight cafe or sonny eclipse! thank you so much! - @citizenoftmrrwlnd

Posted! I hope it's ok, I ended up making two as I wasn't too sure which way to go with it!

[feliciteacup]

i thought i posted this last night but apparently i didn't, another video of sonny after closing. i filmed this kneeling down and leaning against the fence so hopefully it's less shaky
