Geek-tastic Theme Parks: Texas Renaissance Festival (Photos & Videos)
  |  @   |  

I have lived in Texas for longer than I can remember. And one of best parts about living here is the annual Texas Renaissance Festival every Autumn. Located right outside of Plantersville, yeah there’s not much out there, in a small hamlet called Todd Mission, the faire is not only the largest one in the United States, it’s also the most prestigious. Groups travel from all over the world to attend (or work at) this gigantic festival. And if you have ever been, you know why. I’ve been going for over twenty years, though the festival is in its 39th year. My wife and I celebrated our anniversary there this year, as we have regularly attended since we got married twelve years ago. There’s always something new and amazing there, year after year.

We snapped tons of photos from this year’s Texas Renaissance Festival, which includes not only traditional renaissance costumes and events, but also shots of Princess Leia, stormtroopers, and the mighty Thor! Check them out in the Photo Gallery here below, and also watch our videos from the RenFest here below.

The first thing up will be at Walt Disney World within the Animal Kingdom where it’s assumed a little piece of Pandora will be built “with emphasis on living in harmony with nature.” Construction on the first park is planned for sometime in 2013.

Listen Up: Confessions Of A Former Disney World Castmember
  |  @   |  

Last week I wondered, do people who work at Disney theme parks are excited about their jobs or do they end up hating Disney?

I really wanted to know because I’m a great fan of theme parks, especially Disney’s, and in my heart I truly hoped that working at a Disney theme park is just as magical as I’d imagine it to be (yes, work is work, but there’s no denying that some jobs are more enjoyable than others.)

Now, a former Disney World employee has posted a video with his confessions of what it was like to work at the Orlando theme park. His video comes complete with some real funny stick figure artwork. Definitely check out the 11-minute video here below.
