8:06 AM - More Atlas9 phones? Okay... (posted by Allen )
We drove down to Atlas9 again for their 1 year anniversary (or A9iversary, as they call it). Although we were not able to be there on Thursday for the artists panel, we did get to see how they did their first-ever outdoor movie night. They project on to the white side of the building.

New photos have been added, including a few 360-degree ones from the outdoor movie night. This brings the A9 photo count up to 2261.

Check out ParkHopping.com for a new article, posting soon, as well.

And, if you are curious about the live entertainment, here is one of the shows performed in front of their HOLOMAX stage. I recorded it in super wide angle so we could see what is going on with the side projectors during the live performance.

Why doesn't Disney/Universal do stuff like this???

9:51 AM - Wisconsin Dells 2026 (Wizard Quest, Alligator Alley, and more!) (posted by Allen )
A new batch of photos from attractions, shops, restaurants and even a show has been added to the Misc / Other Places gallery:

https://www.disneyfans.com/photos/misc/OtherPlaces/Wisconsin/WisconsinDells/index.html

The older galleries have also been re-organized to make them "more better."

You will find 360-degree photos in several of these new additions (2026 gallery):

Alligator Alley Adventures

Arcade PVP Bar (with their Slingshot shooting range)

Cheese Ball Croquet - a neat twist on the mini golf genre

Ripley's Believe It Or Not

Wizard Quest

Go into each gallery and look for a folder called "360" to see the "VR" photos that let you look up, down, left and right.

9:45 AM - SPAM Museum (including 360-degree photos) (posted by Allen )
During a receipt road trip, the GPS took us home a different route. It had us pass right by Austin, MN which is home to the free SPAM Museum. So, naturally, we stopped in to check it out (and have some free SPAM samples).

Minnesota is now added to the Misc/Other Places gallery:

8:39 AM - First batch of 360-degree photos added! (posted by Allen )
Atlas9 in Kansas City is the first gallery to contains some of my 360-degree photos. Previously, I only shared these on a Facebook group:

https://www.disneyfans.com/photos/misc/OtherPlaces/Kansas/Atlas9/360/index.html

It works, but there are some quirks in JAlbum I'd like to get taken care of before I add thousands more to other galleries. Right now, I have to Edit each photo one at a time to set the default zoom (field of view) value. I love sharing photos with everyone, but this is not how I want to spend my time ;-)

4:32 PM - 360-degree photos coming to the gallery! (posted by Allen )
I only recently realized the JAlbum program I use to share my 300,000+ photos online supports VR-360 photos! I will be doing a test soon with some of the 360-degree photos I took at Atlas9 in Kansas City. If they work, I will begin going through all my others, possibly even going back as far as 2005 when I took my earliest "one shot" 360-degree photos at Disneyland.

Stay tuned...

Or don't. No biggie.
