#TakeBackTomorrow: Part 3

So what is this fictional fun all about? Here's what I have been able to piece together.

In 2013 we played a role as recruits in the Optimists society. It seems as though we Optimists are initiates for Plus Ultra. We proudly accepted our pins that day but then nothing else happened and we went about our daily lives.

Plus Ultra is a secret society that included a bunch of famous minds and strongly admired people such as Nikola Tesla, Amelia Earhart, and Walter Elias Disney. "Wallace" is a supposed member of Plus Ultra who was the Disney cartographer and ran the 2013 recruitment campaign.

With the advanced technology of Tomorrowland the people of Plus Ultra have supposedly abandoned us and decided to keep it for themselves. It's unfair right? They have all the best tech and live these amazing lives. A new movement came about called Stop Plus Ultra. Tomorrow should be for everyone right?

But this is where it gets murky - especially after today's events.


#TakeBackTomorrow: Part 2

It was like any other morning. I was a little sleepy because I slept so late the night before.

Still riding the excitement of last night and actually being there I adjusted my TweetDeck so that I could get the latest information about the next clues in our game.

#TakeBackTomorrow: Part 1

Disney has done it again and I am back in their alternate reality game to promote their new movie Tomorrowland. Perhaps this will explain to those who know me what I have been up to. It's quite the epic game and lots of fun

This journey started two years ago at D23 when Helen handed us a map and said, "Follow these clues!" Armed with a symbolic map of Disneyland we ran around from clue to clue and encountered some familiar faces. At the end we got initiated in to the Optimists society. We got our pins of membership inside the Main Street Cinema. It was one of the best afternoons I had ever spent inside Disneyland and I still talk excitedly about it whenever I recount the day to people.

That was two years ago and it was time to fall down the rabbit hole again.
