Walt Disney World is a strange and wonderful place, especially for hardcore Disneyland Resort goers.

To accompany her, Jeremy sits in to fill in the gaps and provide some EPCOT vibes. ---------------- Support the show!

It doesn't have much going for it if you aren't a big fan of the Winnie the Pooh franchise, or if you aren't looking for a shady spot to eat your food in underneath The Hungry Bear.

When it comes to well-known (dare we say "famous") Imagineers, two names jump instantly to mind for most Disney Parks fans - Joe Rohde and Tony Baxter. Both men have done so much to change and define our experiences, that it would be crazy to try and argue which one was the better of the two. So of course we had to do just that! We invited our friends from The Supreme Resort on the show to help us choose which is the supreme Imagineer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The space race of the late 1950's started not with a "bang", but with the steady "beep beep" of Sputnik, as it spun overhead. At this time, the American public was only just realizing how space travel was not only plausible, but probable, and they weren't really ready to see Russia dominating the world with technology in this manner. So how DID we get so interested in space travel in the first place? And how did that interest spread to the highest levels of the US government? Two words: Ward Kimball. Ward and Walt spoon-fed the public a fantastic primer on space travel, greasing the wheels for the Space Race.

The success of The Walt Disney Company in all of it's ventures was due in large part to the people Walt surrounded himself with. Never one to assume he was the smartest in the room, Walt was always pushing his team to learn more, to do better, because he wanted the brightest people to be on his payroll. Perhaps the most famous of these were Walt's 9 Old Men; a group of guys that were instrumental in Walt's achievements.

When you think of Cars Land, you typically think of one ride only: Radiator Springs Racers. Then maybe Flo's V-8 / the Cozy Cone for food, and if you are feeling depressed and want to suffer, you might remember Mater's Junkyard Jamboree exists.

When a concept gets "green-lit" and approved for concept art, defined ideas and concepts, you generally would assume that it had also made it beyond the "Hey is this a bad idea" phase of any creative endeavor.
