The details and Easter Eggs that Sondy put into his Turkey drawings last year were ::chef's kiss::

2024 was a doozy! Mickey Mouse went into Public Domain,
@jennynicholson.bsky.social's 4 hour Starcruiser video racked up MILLIONS of views, the Ghost of Gideons haunts Disney Springs, five years of construction at EPCOT ends with a whimper & much, MUCH more!

BTW I messed up and there is no adult content in any of the photos unless you count the phallic structure in Morocco or the sheer handsomeness of. brandglover.bsky.social

Says I can appeal but doesnt say to who so we’re stuck with it.

Not sure how @briancooperart.bsky.social still talks to me after I sent the sketch for this drawing, but couldnt be happier with the end result. Includes 10 years of crazy characters and many friends who have helped along the way.

2023…the 10 Year Anniversary of the Turkeys.

Disney Skyliner peep show, the “accelerated depreciation” of the Galactic Starcruiser, Trolls meet-n-greet at Disney Sorings and a whole lot more.

Who can forget 2022 and the shocking dismissal of Bob Chapek, Spider-Man hitting a wall, Galaxy Edge lightsaber condoms, people going absolutely nuts for a Figment popcorn bucket and a whole lot more!

The short answer is “No.”. Something that all SAT SIX Fun Squad members find out the hard way.

2021 was a "light bulb" year. Great stuff like the Tik Tok water guy, Cardboard Caballeros and Eric Idle vs. Dis Twitter, but this was the first time @briancooperart.bsky.social's header art started immortalizing the good people in the community as well.

2020 was a gamechanger for the Turkeys. Despite WDW and Universal being closed for MONTHS we had craziness in the form of: Universal's battle with an Osprey, guests grilling hot dogs in Disney Springs and a pallet of Galaxy's Edge Coke showing up in Alabama.

2019 was a big one. The “Grand” Opening of the NBA Experience, Disney Skyliner goes bump in the night, Bob Iger throws shade at Everest and the greatest addition of all… @briancooperart.bsky.social’s 1st Turkeys drawing.

2018 brought us the Maleficent dragon catching on fire, Disney social media completely losing their minds, another major road signage typo, heads falling off audio-animatronics, the infamous WAX BEEN DONE and a whole lot more!

Next weekend is the 12TH ANNUAL Theme Park Turkey of the Year Awards so let's spend the next week looking back at how we got here.

2017 we had the iconic EPOCT sign, cops being called on Geese pooping on Disneyland guests, DISFLIX, and so much MORE!

Took me a day to figure which one it was, but I remembered we had this in a SAT SIX. Love that portal inscription by @charliemacsart.bsky.social

The Mona Lisa had a good run but some replacements are coming to The Louvre.

Looking back at some recent Theme Park Turkeys of the Year artwork by @briancooperart.bsky.social and wondering... can he truly top himself this year?

SPOILER ALERT: He can, and did.

Tomorrow the SATURDAY SIX heads back into Epic Universe to begin our three part series on ISLE OF BERK that will lead us straight into the 12th annual Theme Park Turkey of the Year Awards.

The holiday merchandise is out at Universal and I’ll never financially recover from this.
