Because. L E G E N D S Book One: Secrets Chapter One “The Wonder” Cinematic visions had been sweeping through my mind in vivid and dynamic glitches, something like a rolling wave of intercepted streams and shattered scenes— sleeping through the vile and sharp pains was not an option, but the visions were fluid as they always were, and the spirit stayed remarkably warm and close. I couldn't understand the constant knowing of it all, and so I weathered the storm, to which only somewhat delightfully, seemed to brew inside of Genie's eyes as he looked into mine. All I could know from beforehand was that he was praying, head bowed and very adamantly, his hands tied together as if the religiousness of the entire world rests in between his two clenching palms, the flat fingers of a whispered saint, but none at all— unholy man and righteous and indignant he, there was nothing so little as time that could put between us the doing and undoings. The things I pretended not to know. On this grueling occasion, there was this, the honorable and beloved Genie, sitting heavily on my consious. It hadn't been long enough since we'd last met that I ever thought to welcome his arrival, and yet for days, he had been encroaching his authority over me, something like a loon approaches moonlight. Somewhat dignified in a slight comparison to his last appearance, visionary or otherwise, he meant well. Gene DeLaney was a subtle old fool when he wanted to be— and a clever young one at most other and all times. A man of stature and status, however, he was poorly groomed in the nature of procuring revelations as such from an especially distant medium such as I— and even with his ties to the mark and surface of the full embodiment of the source, his alignments were of no use; I was sworn to secrecy. Destitute, though I had heeded his warnings about dear Louis, our fellow brother, with the markings of such wounds to see it that I had been betrayed, he appealed with a simple aching plea with the protective fury and exhalation of an older brother, which— to that he was—but also with the weathered and fearful of the unknown which made me keep my ways in the old world and not with the new. Despite what Gene could know, which could be everything or nothing, with the expectation that much like the little girl I nearly was in considerate comparison, I would appeal to this protectiveness, and truthworthiness, and it might as well have been a test of such myself; would I lie to him, even if he knew the truth? And furthermore, would I continue to conspire to protect Louis even if the whole of the truth was known in the wake of such a betrayal, and still— why? The why was really two parts of a greater whole, the first being that it was a matter of simple trust and loyalty on the one side in that were I Louis, I'd expect my keeping's to remain, and in the same stone's throw were I Genie, I'd expect his wants to be that I should do the same for him in all and any of his many hours of need. Still so, they were men, and they were brothers— and one to have the upper hand over another was a considerable part of the dynamic, however, and in many more ways than one, Genie outranked Louis in every matter of the sort, but besides this factor, the second part of the greater whole of my withholding, was this— Louis Greenworth was a very, very powerful man— beyond by some comprehension to most of us, if not and especially our kind, and I had already been hurt. Severely wounded, even, and with the knowing that this latest event might as well have been fatal— and probably was, with any recollection of the matter or the reorientation in the aftermath of such, I might have been approached as myself by Gene entirely new. As to say, to no avail such ties to death is the immortal, death being, most misunderstood by many, almost any kind of thing taking the concious mind or the spirit into any other world, or space, or time. With this love and care considerably so, Genie might have had his own personal motivations for prying into the light; his kind eyes and his handsome face, however, were trained in the art of my undoing, and having already been undone, and done over, I remained entirely in the safety of withholding, also knowing that Genie more likely than not what Louis had carried out. In all my thousands of years, perhaps even in the billions of such before time and world, and words, and glory, though I should have nothing to fear—I feared and admired the both of them deeply, one moreso than the other in matters of fear. I withheld feverously, coping with the loss of the satisfaction it might give Genie to have told. Instead, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, he simply dissappeared, his kind eyes gone and turned away into the fog of the murky night haze. The relief was, however, that this was in understanding, and neither anger or the severity of severance. I loved them all too deeply for the bond to ever have been truly broken, and in return I had been loved throughout all time with all the colors of the world. Victoria Shriver-DuPont Gene DeLaney Louis Greenworth Faye Reginald Harper Chapter Two “Slip” Faye had warned me early on no matter what I did or what I knew of Louis and his keepings, to always let him win—at anything. To Louis, everything was a game, or rather, a competition, and it was important not to challenge his self riteousness and dutiful outlook. “Alright.” I almost always certainly trusted Faye, and certainly always at the very least understood her procurements. She was a worthy keeper and just as well unearthed truths, even well beyond just the earthly plane. I took it as such that we had become beyond surface matters, very distinctly and immidiately. The times were changing, but the ties no less the same— there were vows taken and oaths, mantras and fields of trust— the inner ties and the outer forests of what we could reproach as unknown— the truth was, it was almost as if there were doses of those kinds of tonics I could take, and others I could not. The lengths at which Faye Reginald Harper Downings went on behalf of her mark were a cunning sting on my inner knowings, still, I yielded to her bargains. She knew Louis better than I did, and either way, the more you knew about a man like Louis Greenpoint, the less you actually wanted. In such a case, we were all astounded to have become each other's jobs— hence the title, Keeper. My mark had no true title, as I just, rather was. A true immortal, I had been prone to dying for quite some time, and with each passing mark the outer world became more haunting and bizzare. Was I the ghost, or not? In this time and now, it was the others. Genie had warned me to run in the opposite direction of Louis, and by then it had already gone to far— and besides that, Ms. Downings had arrived sheer months ahead of time, seeming to have moved mountains to have come upon the dawn to report— the dawn, being, my awakening. I had lived and lived again and to this alone I was a ghost, but had been tied to my dear keepers and brethren as an admirer— and also, perhaps, to be admired, which was just enough reflected in my dear heart's eyes as it was the cold truth of the seers and the keepers— and the darker the under becomes, the more glistening the surface, and truly, in the caverns of the harsh light of the dawning, I could only amask that it had been not days and night since my last parting, as sometimes, generations— another marker for what was all to come, the knowing that I would be sheathed in truth. What Louis had taken Faye might have very well taken with it, but I was undauntingly and hideously unchanged from my oath. These things, even betrayal, were to remain, as I undone, as secrets. In truth, the Seeker's oath is not yet in the unkept truth, but in the disguise of the awakening it brings. Genie was belonged to by a power couple—Louis in this sense was also belonged to, but in a wary way to that these ties had been severed, and crossed, and cut, and broken; In my arrival, entire times had been shattered and worlds set to move in a backwards fashion, the sun as shining as to rise in the west, and set east, or to raise to the north with no southward bound to travel. There, in the time of my arrival, things had been ruined, and though coming as any does with the bearing of a name, Victoria Shriver-DuPont, to be called— I was nonesuch to any title at all. In this lies the betrayal, and in the dawn of my awakening there beconed the call of this man, dear brother Louis as not either his name or his title any, but of his calling. There, the truth had also been shattered and met with the time to call all of our brothers, as keepers and wishers, seers and seekers, knowers and keepers, to guide the light which calls. Chapter Three: “Gene Hope” As Televamgelests go, Gene DeLaney was not your average showman, either religiously nor by any given standards. His chosen stage name, or rather, bestowed harrowed the scene's Prince of Megatropolis, a gesture that all things reachable could be heard and felt by his voice and might. But more to know about Gene Hope—actually by law, Gene DeLaney were his highly publicized personal effects and efforts—appearances, connections, and politics. Well groomed in the art of culture and confirm, Gene had hoped to portray an otherwise arbitrary anyman, and yet was still in his way, a remarkable celebrity. There were wordless forms of nonconformity and rebellious ambition in his sheer collusion and pace. His walk, the elegance of a loyal court man, and the actual reverence of a madman, made him the go-to guy for all things knowing. The cruelty of it, being, that not particularly tied to that of the believes and mantras of a religious man, and in that the duty of nature being the times that we cross paths. The knowing but not all that is known, and thus, the keeping.

In such a case, we were all astounded to have become each other's jobs— hence the title, Keeper. My mark had no true title, as I just, rather was. A true immortal, I had been prone to dying for quite some time, and with each passing mark the outer world became more haunting and bizzare. Was I the ghost, or not? In this time and now, it was the others. Genie had warned me to run in the opposite direction of Louis, and by then it had already gone to far— and besides that, Ms. Downings had arrived sheer months ahead of time, seeming to have moved mountains to have come upon the dawn to report— the dawn, being, my awakening. I had lived and lived again and to this alone I was a ghost, but had been tied to my dear keepers and brethren as an admirer— and also, perhaps, to be admired, which was just enough reflected in my dear heart's eyes as it was the cold truth of the seers and the keepers— and the darker the under becomes, the more glistening the surface, and truly, in the caverns of the harsh light of the dawning, I could only amask that it had been not days and night since my last parting, as sometimes, generations— another marker for what was all to come, the knowing that I would be sheathed in truth. What Louis had taken Faye might have very well taken with it, but I was undauntingly and hideously unchanged from my oath. These things, even betrayal, were to remain, as I undone, as secrets. In truth, the Seeker's oath is not yet in the unkept truth, but in the disguise of the awakening it brings. Genie was belonged to by a power couple—Louis in this sense was also belonged to, but in a wary way to that these ties had been severed, and crossed, and cut, and broken; In my arrival, entire times had been shattered and worlds set to move in a backwards fashion, the sun as shining as to rise in the west, and set east, or to raise to the north with no southward bound to travel. There, in the time of my arrival, things had been ruined, and though coming as any does with the bearing of a name, Victoria Shriver-DuPont, to be called— I was nonesuch to any title at all. In this lies the betrayal, and in the dawn of my awakening there beconed the call of this man, dear brother Louis as not either his name or his title any, but of his calling. There, the truth had also been shattered and met with the time to call all of our brothers, as keepers and wishers, seers and seekers, knowers and keepers, to guide the light which calls. Chapter Three: “Gene Hope” As Televamgelests go, Gene DeLaney was not your average showman, either religiously nor by any given standards. His chosen stage name, or rather, bestowed harrowed the scene's Prince of Megatropolis, a gesture that all things reachable could be heard and felt by his voice and might. But more to know about Gene Hope—actually by law, Gene DeLaney were his highly publicized personal effects and efforts—appearances, connections, and politics. Well groomed in the art of culture and confirm, Gene had hoped to portray an otherwise arbitrary anyman, and yet was still in his way, a remarkable celebrity. There were wordless forms of nonconformity and rebellious ambition in his sheer collusion and pace. His walk, the elegance of a loyal court man, and the actual reverence of a madman, made him the go-to guy for all things knowing. The cruelty of it, being, that not particularly tied to that of the believes and mantras of a religious man, and in that the duty of nature being the times that we cross paths. The knowing but not all that is known, and thus, the keeping.

Disney's Epcot offers countless dining options, but is Connections Eatery worth your precious park time and dining credits? We're pulling up a chair to give you the unfiltered scoop straight from our family's lunch table.Navigating the bustling atmosphere of this World Celebration eatery at 2pm (still surprisingly packed!), we put Disney's Quick Service Dining Plan to the test with a variety of menu items. The hand-breaded chicken sandwich delivered solid flavor without excessive breading, though the accompanying black garlic truffle fries proved divisive—enjoyable in small doses but overwhelming as a full side. Meanwhile, the Flower and Garden Festival's hot honey chicken sandwich hit the perfect balance of heat and sweetness, complemented wonderfully by pickles for a contrasting crunch.The real star? Connections' pizza. With gigantic slices that practically count as double portions, the $11.29 cheese pizza stands as one of Epcot's best quick-service values. Our family debate about sauce levels (some wanting more, others preferring the lighter approach) highlights how this adaptable menu caters to different palates. All these options—plus alcoholic beverages like Oregon's Rainstorm Pinot Noir Rosé—were completely covered by our Quick Service Dining Plan credits.Beyond food, we share our refreshingly laid-back approach to park touring. Arriving during Early Entry without the rope-drop rush, we walked straight onto Soarin', Figment, and Nemo before experiencing the "big party" atmosphere of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. This relaxed strategy sparked fascinating family discussions about park touring philosophies—are you Team Rope Drop or Team Take-It-Easy?Ready to plan your perfect Epcot day?

Hey Ohana, On this episode we're diving into what we think is both one of the most important and underrated attractions in all of Walt Disney World...The Walt Disney World Railroad!

So with the help of our friend Jim Smith (of Disney Facts and Figment fame), we get into Walt's early love of trains, how that transferred to the parks, a breakdown of the attraction itself, and a little chat about another special location outside of Magic Kingdom that shares Walt's passion for trains with visitors! After giving the episode a listen, head over to our FB group to continue the conversation and let us know if a ride on the WDW Railroad is a must-do when you visit our favorite place.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Disney held an inventory conference this week and we got some news on upcoming movies and maybe some new Figment content. The 90s was a wild time for Disney parks.  Michael Eisner was in the midst of his Disney Decade expansion plans to add new parks and attractions all over the world.  Plus Disney World was starting to become the vacation destination we know today. But it wasn't smooth sailing the entire time. Euro Disney opened in the early part of the decade over budget and to underwhelming crowds.  The weak launch of the new parks put a major financial strain on the company that impacted a lot of Eisner's grand plans. Today we count down the top parks, attractions and lands whose cancellations can be tied back to the financial struggles of Euro Disney. Submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode.

The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is the unofficial signal that Spring has arrived (the 2025 edition runs from March 5 to June 2) at Walt Disney World. Not only that, the Flower and Garden Festival is a dream for fashion lovers who want to blend style with the beauty of nature. With stunning floral displays, outdoor kitchens and vibrant character topiaries, this festival is the perfect backdrop for stylish outfits that embrace springtime aesthetics. Top 10 Ideas for How to Style an Outfit for the EPCOT Flower and Garden FestivalWhether you're a Disneybounder, a casual park visitor, or a fashion-forward festival fan, here are 10 reasons why the Flower and Garden Festival is the ultimate EPCOT festival for fashion—with some outfit ideas to match!1. Blooming Florals EverywhereWith EPCOT overflowing in breathtaking flowers everywhere you look, this is the perfect time to embrace floral prints, embroidered details and pastel hues.Style Tip: Opt for a breezy floral sundress or a linen button-up with floral embroidery. Pair with comfortable sneakers or sandals to stay stylish and comfy all day.2. Instagram-Worthy Photo SpotsFrom colorful butterfly gardens to vibrant Disney topiaries, every corner of the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is a fashion photo-op just waiting to happen.Style Tip: A flowy maxi skirt with a fitted tank top and a subtle Disney or garden-themed denim jacket makes for a stylish yet effortless look that really pops in photos.3. Warm Spring Weather Calls for Effortless LayersFlorida spring can be warm during the day and breezy at night, making lighter clothing layers a festival essential.Style Tip: A lightweight jacket, cardigan or kimono over a graphic tee (subtly Disney-inspired, of course) will keep you comfortable from morning to evening.4. Garden-Inspired Accessories ShineDon't forget to accessorize. Flower crowns, leaf-shaped earrings and nature-inspired accessories will all blend perfectly with the festival's theme.Style Tip: Try a floral headband or Disney festival ears, or even a straw hat paired with a relaxed Disney tee and shorts for a chic, nature-inspired vibe.5. Butterfly Gardens Make Wings TrendyThe Flower and Garden Festival's Butterfly Garden is a magical place that makes butterfly-inspired fashion feel right at home.Style Tip: A pastel-colored flowy blouse paired with butterfly-shaped earrings or embroidered denim adds a subtle nod to this whimsical theme.6. Flower and Garden Festival Merch Inspires Outfit CoordinationEach year, the festival releases limited-edition apparel featuring characters like the Florida Orange Bird and Figment—perfect for styling a full festival fit. So if you want to wait until you're onsite to complete your outfit, this is the way to go.Style Tip: Pair an Orange Bird festival tee with a breezy skater skirt and white sneakers for a playful yet stylish look.7. It's the Best Festival for Pastel LoversSoft, dreamy colors dominate the festival, making it the ideal time to wear pastel shades that complement the scenery.Style Tip: Lavender, mint, baby pink and sky blue look stunning in photos. A pastel Disney crewneck t-shirt with biker shorts and chunky sneakers is the perfect comfy-chic combo that will look great in photos and videos.8. Flower & Garden Inspires Cottagecore VibesFrom honey-themed food booths to whimsical gardens, this festival is a dream for cottagecore fashion lovers.Style Tip: A gingham dress, lace-trimmed socks and a cozy cardigan with subtle Disney embroidery create the ultimate cottagecore Disney look.9. Festival Outfits Can Be Playful & FunUnlike other EPCOT festivals that lean into rich or dark tones, the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is all about playfulness and lighthearted themes.Style Tip: Embrace fun prints, detailed graphics and quirky Disney accessories—like a daisy-shaped bag or floral Mickey ears. 10. The Best Disney Fest for HatsWith the Florida sun shining bright, the Flower and Garden Festival is the ideal event to show off stylish headwear—whether it's a wide-brimmed sunhat, a bucket hat, or a cute pair of floral Minnie ears. Hats not only add personality to your outfit, but also provide essential sun protection while you explore.Style Tip: Opt for a neutral or pastel-toned hat that complements your outfit rather than overpowers it. Pair it with a breezy button-down shirt or a lightweight Disney-inspired tee for a relaxed, chic vibe. The 1923 Main Street Flower and Garden CollectionLooking for more inspiration?

Send us a textIn this episode of Accio the Mouse, we're back from EPCOT's Festival of the Arts, where we ate our weight in artistic snacks, tried (and failed) to paint like professionals, and debated whether or not Figment would make a good roommate. Spoiler: he's way too chaotic.But the news doesn't stop there! Disney and Universal updates are coming in hot. On a more bittersweet note, Jellyrolls at Disney's BoardWalk is closing, meaning no more late-night dueling piano shenanigans (pour one out for the best sing-alongs ever). And if that wasn't enough, MuppetVision 3D is closing in June, so get your last doses of Statler and Waldorf heckling while you can.And finally, we talk about our upcoming RunDisney event—where we'll be running, sweating, and possibly questioning every decision that led us here. Will we survive? Will we trip over a character meet-and-greet? Will we justify a post-run cupcake with “carb loading”?
