We’re desperately trying to claw our way back onto…the Disney blogging bandwagon of middling relevance. That sounds like a sad attempt at an enterprise for which to reembark; but the discerning Disney tourist only possesses so much ability to forge onward without being reminded that every Dole Whip basically tastes like every other Dole Whip. Even if a cast member clumsily molds said treat into something resembling…well I can’t tell either. But you can be sure the cost rises $7 because the melting amalgamation of sugar cubes and conspicuously pink vanillaice creamconcoction sort of resembles a tropical bird. Is it supposed to be Zazu? Hei-Hei? Panchito Pistoles?
Just saw the absolute perfect tribute to him on twitter: "Today heaven 'feels crowded'." As a long time reader of his blog, that one made me smile and tear up a little at the same time.
I'm reading some of his recent posts I hadn't caught yet, and damn his writing was just so good. Like the first 5 paragraphs of his last post on Feb 3. Hilarious too.
Lots of bloggers do booth reviews, but as you said, none of them do it quite like Josh. An impossible ask indeed.
I can't remember the last time I logged in, but I also wanted to make a small post about Josh. When I first started going back to WDW years ago, finding easyWDW and Josh's trip plans felt like a miracle. Josh provided everything someone could need to jump into their first trip to WDW, get a ton of stuff done, and have a great time. I remember downloading his PDFs of when to do which rides in each park and everything.I don't post here much any more, but wanted to say just how hard this hits. He was the only blogger I read- he was brutally honest but that unwavering love for Disney would raise it's head just often enough that you never doubted how he really felt. He was sarcastic, witty and hilariously funny. He was more than a blogger. He was a talented writer and one I will miss for a very long time. So much has been lost in the last 2 years and this is one of the harder ones.
