Behind the Scenes
The Scoop stories — the millennium, Fantasmic!, SpectroMagic, the Parade, Telarc — finally as readable text instead of thirty image tiles.
The globe needs WebGL to open. (It's worth it — try a modern browser.)

Don Dorsey Design Consultation Sound Familiar
At the console since 1975
Overheard — and on the record.
What people say"Wait — the fireworks guy had a number-one album?"
What Don says"Fourteen weeks at number one. Not that anyone was counting. (I was counting.)"
What people say"I've never heard of Don Dorsey."
What Don says"You've heard me. Nightly. Around nine."
What people say"So the parade music just… starts by itself?"
What Don says"You're welcome. — Mickey Track, est. 1980"
Sample copy, for placement only — every line ships with Don's sign-off, and the real quotes (Forbes, reviews, fan mail) rotate through here.

Three more frames on the wall.
