Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Disney news has been light the past few weeks, but we did get a new Matterhorn themed Dole Whip at Disneyland, plus the return of Fantasmic. Then in our main segment, Angela is put in the hot seat as she must guess who said and what movie these famous Disney quotes are from. Joe has been plotting his revenge ever since Angela embarrassed him a few weeks ago with some of the most challenging (according to Joe) quotes. So Joe searched far and wide to find the most impossible quotes of all time. So join us and test your Disney movie knowledge by playing along at home. Be sure to let us know how many you got right.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week in Disney News, Bob Iger said all future investments in the park will be IP driven. He also confirmed Avatar will be a part of Disneyland expansion. Also, the new nighttime drone show, Disney Dreams That Soar presented by AT&T, will be premiering at Disney Springs on May 24. Those annual pass holder magnets sure look cool on the back of your car. It’s very tempting to want to pay for one yourself, but the passes tend to be expensive, and not everyone is a short drive away from the Happiest Place on Earth. All things considered, today we answer the age old question, “When is it worth it to buy an annual pass to Disney World?” We go through all the types of annual passes including current prices, perks, and limitations. Finally, we tell you about how long you have to stay at Disney to make it worth the price for the most expensive pass (which is the only one available to non-DVC, non-Florida residents).

We discuss what that means and how you might want to stop throwing away your DVDs. Walt Disney World is a place full of amazing experiences, some of which are more obscure.

Walking through a Revolution-era town? Battling evil forces in a Quinjet in Wakanda? If you have, you're either an imagineer, or you stay up-to-date with all of the things Disney said they would build at one time, but alas, it wasn't meant to be.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Universal Studios finally announced all of the lands in Epic Universe and we question what the reception will be like once the park opens. We love Walt Disney, and his name is synonymous with the Disney parks, movies, and company as a whole. But, today, we want to take a step back and pay some respects to one of the other, lesser known, Disney brothers: Roy O. Disney. Roy, ever his brother's companion and in many ways, his other half, doesn't always come up in the conversation. However, without Roy, there is some question as to whether Walt would've had the great success he did. So who was Roy Disney? And what did he do to make Walt's dream become a reality? Listen in and you'll see just why Roy deserves a little more credit than he often gets. And don’t forget to send us those Sea Shanties Submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week in Disney News, Meilin and Ming Lee are now doing a meet and greet in DCA for the Lunar New Year that looks top notch! Also, Mickey and Minnie's new fits for Lookout Key are bright and beautiful. What would you say if we told you there is a Disney Park in Germany? Some of you may say, cool. Some probably would start naming the parks and conclude that we've lost our minds! But, after this episode, you may be convinced that there's an unofficial/knockoff park that does come close to reproducing some of the magic that, if you're listening to this podcast, you know and love. Europa Park just might be the next park on your list because they have a mouse mascot, their own pilfering pirate boat ride, many highly-themed hotels, a Casper-haunted castle, and the list goes on...to the point that it sounds like, you've guessed it, we're describing a Disney Park.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. A lot of Disney News dropped while we were away including the launch of the incredible Electrical Sky Parade over in Disneyland Paris. Plus, Imagineer Lanny Smoot was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame and showed off his latest invention, the Hallow Tile Floor. We speculate how Disney plans to use it. We're back from our 10K and 1/2 marathon races in Disneyland, and we're so ready to spill the tea about our first race on the west coast. When we registered for this race, we assumed RunDisney would run it (pun intended) the exact same way as the Disney World races, but boy were we wrong! We talk about why that is, what we really enjoyed about Disneyland, and what we missed about the larger Disney World races. Plus, we reveal the most important answer to the most important question IMHO, "What characters were there?" Submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week in Disney News, subscribers of Disney+ will be able to get a free Disney dining plan. For all of the Figment fans out there, Festival of the Arts will feature a new Figment popcorn bucket this year which will certainly have you clamoring to EPCOT. We have one question for you. What if EPCOT wasn’t just in Disney World? What if Disneyland had their own version? What would you call it? Well, Disney almost called it WestCOT. This park was slated to be built in the early 90s until a number of factors got it cancelled. So what was going to be in the park? Was it an exact copy and paste of the existing park? Where was it going to go? We answer these questions and much more, so give us a listen! Submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week in Disney News, the Voyage of the Little Mermaid in Hollywood Studios will not be returning, and will instead reopen in Fall 2024 as Little Mermaid: A Musical Adventure. Also, when changes come on January 9th to park hopping in WDW, virtual queing will change as well. Over in Disneyland, the Magic Happens parade will be returning shortly after the new year along with Wonderous Journeys. 2023 was a pretty good year, but maybe not for the crystal ball we borrowed from Madam Leota. In this episode, we recap our going-into-2023-predictions for Disney News. Although we definitely did NOT get some things right, like Disney World finally picking a retheme for the Dinoland section of Animal Kingdom, we were able to peek into the future in some small ways. See our very obvious prediction about Bob Iger’s contract extension. So give us a listen and hear about the year in review coupled with a few small predictions for 2024 and beyond.

Dear Santa, We have been very very good this year and think that for 2024, we would like a few things to make Disney a little more merry and bright. Could you help us out a bit? We have some simple requests like more shade and maybe bringing Gideon’s into the parks. But we also feel like our friend, the imaginative, but unfriendly-looking dragon, needs a little visit from the Botched TV show doctors to give him and his ride a little face lift. And while we’re at it, maybe we could give Dinoland a little face lift as well and finally put the rightful king in his place. And could we please bring back the immersive experiences? There’s a lot more, but to find it all out, you’re going to have to listen to this podcast, which I think you’ll enjoy because…whimsy. Anyway, thanks for all you do with the toys and stuff.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week in Disney News, Luca, Soul, and Turning Red will all be coming to theaters in early 2024, giving them a theatrical release for the first time. Disneyland dropped their full 2024 calendar of events, which is unusual, and there are some really exciting celebrations to look forward to. Something about the holidays seems to make everything so special. Maybe it’s the fleeting nature of how fast it passes or the extra special magic of excited people getting to dress up for their favorite holiday, which got us thinking: Disney could use more holiday overlays. Sure Disneyland gets the Nightmare Before Christmas-themed Haunted Mansion and there’s always the Jingle Cruise, but couldn’t we do just a little extra to make more of the rides we know and love feeling fresh and new for a short time? Why not make the parks more magical by decorating for Halloween, Christmas, Life Day and more? We came up with a list of rides that could use a little sprucing up, including some of our favorites, like Enchanted Tiki Room and Space Mountain. So this week, tune in and get in a festive mood with us! Submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode.

This week in Disney News, the trailer came out for the new Marvel Disney+/Hulu show, Echo, came out this past week. This show has some interesting changes and we discuss how it could impact Marvel’s approach going forward. Plus new Halloween-themed RunDisney races were announced in Disneyland.

So we thought it would be fun to pick our current Top 5 characters of all time in honor of Life Day on November 17. If you didn't guess, it was very difficult to whittle it down to just 5.

Sticking with international parks, over in Tokyo Disneyland, Fantasy Springs will be opening on June 6, 2024. On the high seas, we got some of our first looks at the artwork for the Haunted Mansion Parlor on the Disney Treasure cruise ship, and it looks incredible. And some people got a scare with the announcement of the return of the Disney Enchantment fireworks show at after hours events next year. Tomorrow is Halloween, so today we wanted to discuss our favorite ride in Disney World that takes place on Halloween Day, 1939. If you didn’t guess it, we’re talking about the Hollywood Studios icon: Tower of Terror. This seemingly immortal ride hasn’t always been there, so we explain the history, fun facts, and nods to the Twilight Zone throughout the queue. Plus, there were several iterations before the original was built including a murder mystery, which Angela thinks would be fun, but the night-vision goggles might become hazardous during the drops.

Disney may have just changed how we all watch sports with a Toy Story simulcast of an NFL game this week. Too bad no one told us about it before it happened. Have you ever wanted to go to Disney World, but struggled to pick an appropriate hotel for your visit? Maybe you wanted to splurge for a Deluxe hotel, but also wanted to have money to spend elsewhere. Maybe you questioned which hotels could get you to the parks the fastest. As many Disney-goers know, Walt Disney World boasts an impressive number of hotels…sometimes too impressive. And there are three levels with their own price ranges. This week, we answer the age-old question “Is it worth staying in a Deluxe hotel?” This week we discuss each level, price ranges, our thoughts on some of the specific hotels, and then try to help you narrow down the best ones for you and your family. The answer to the “is it worth it” question is far more complex than many people would think considering the multitude of factors that should play into your decision. And surprisingly, the Deluxe hotels aren’t always the “best” choice, even if money isn’t a concern. Listen in and we can help you narrow your choices so you find the right hotel for you in the right price-range! Looking to book a Disney trip? Reach out to [email protected] for a free quote.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This past week, the big news was there was a bear in the Magic Kingdom causing Frontierland to be closed for hours. Of course the memes were lit as well, our favorite being the Haunted Mansion meme. We’re happy to say the golden Disney World 50th Anniversary statues are staying! Disney announced they plan to spend $60 billion dollars over the next 10 years in parks and on the Cruiselines. We’re a bit skeptical. And Elemental’s debut on Disney+ was very successful, becoming one of their most watched Disney premieres on Disney+ of all time. Disney has a number of iconic rides across their various properties. Rides that make you question how you could possibly convince the cast member to let you stay in the ride vehicle for your repeated riding pleasure. This week, it’s those top-tier rides we’re going to discuss. But we’re not just discussing those rides that were put in recently. No. We’re talking about the rides that stand out from the eras in which they were put in and in some cases, invented. Which Disney rides have the staying power to be put in the hall of fame? But don’t just take it from us, this week we rounded up an Avengers of sorts of Disney creators to give their picks as well! A special thanks to our guests Clark(@mousemakerstudio), Julie from Double Your WDW Podcast (@doubleyourwdw), Becky from Disney in Your Day and Castle Dreams Travel (@disneyinyourday), and John and Bridget from Board Game Cantina(@boardgamecantina).

Disney has so many incredible experiences to offer from world adventures to Club 33 to the Cinderella Castle Suite, but which ones will make our list?

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week we got more information about the Disney Treasure. Destination D23 was this past week and Disney said a lot without really announcing anything concrete. Also, what’s up with that Figment meet and greet? Disney Cruise Lines, or at least Disney at sea, has been around for decades. From humble beginnings to changing maritime laws and having almost 6 ships in their fleet, Disney Cruises are a special treat for people who want to go to exotic places and be transported on a Disney-entertainment-mobile on water. If you’re curious about the cruiseline and want to know more about them, this is the podcast for you. After we give a brief history, we talk with Becky, from Castle Dreams Travel, about the tips and tricks you need to know before your first cruise. Check out Becky’s trip reports: Disney Magic trip report: https://www.disneyinyourday.com/sailing-disney-magic-arrival-day/ Disney Dream trip report: https://www.disneyinyourday.com/on-board-the-disney-dream-arrival-day/ Disney Wonder Alaska trip report: https://www.disneyinyourday.com/disney-cruise-to-alaska-arrival-day/ Disney Wish trip reports:https://www.disneyinyourday.com/sailing-on-the-disney-wish-day-1/ Want to book your cruise, reach out to Becky at [email protected] for a free quote.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. The Journey of Water with Moana is getting closer to opening and we discuss the early reviews. Plus, the Haunted Mansion over at Disneyland is going to be undergoing some changes in 2024. This week, in response to two listener questions, we talk about our dream D23 announcements for the 4 Walt Disney World parks and also what a Disney Villains theme park would look like. We have a blast blowing the doors off of the budgets and opening up the world of possibilities without Marvel ownership issues in parks, revamping the Avengers Campus, adding on to Galaxy's Edge, going a little wild in Animal Kingdom, and then allowing Maleficent to shine with her own castle. What Disney could do with the villains is incredible. Letting these baddies have their own castle, parades, lands, rides (MAKE ESCAPE FROM ELEPHANT GRAVEYARD ALREADY DISNEY!), and eating establishments would add a fun richness to the parks. Everyone has a little bit of the dark side in them, so embrace it with us this week and tune in! Thank you so much Zac and Rich for the excellent questions! Keep them coming!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week in Disney News, over in Tokyo DisneySea, we got more information on the Fantasy Springs expansion. With lots of new rides, eating establishments, and many beloved Disney properties, DisneySea is even more of a must-visit! The Disney Treasure cruise ship announcements are coming soon! Members of the media got treasure maps last week revealing what might be included on the ship, and wow is it exciting! When you're used to visiting Disney World, going over to Disneyland can feel a little bit like being a fish out of water. This week, we discuss planning a Disneyland trip from a Disney Worlder's perspective. What should you expect? What kinds of tickets should you buy? For how many days? Where should you stay? What airport should you fly into? What should you know about the nighttime shows? And is front row at World of Color a blessing or a curse? We answer all of these and more!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Sorry! Last week we accidentally said Springtime Surprise signups were last week and while we weren’t totally wrong, we weren’t totally right either. Tiana's Palace will be opening September 7. There will be New Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Cartoons coming in 2025 with Duffy! With the World Cup ending yesterday, we decided to do a World Cup-esque Marvel bracket. With 32 Marvel movies and 32 teams in the World Cup, it worked out perfectly! There are definitely a lot of heavy hitters, teams that were projected to go far, and even a Cinderella story or two! Which movie scored the most in our hearts and created the best, most memorable experience? Which movies don’t quite make the cut? Listen and you’ll hear Chris and Angela’s picks. Who is Chris you say? Listen and you’ll see! Submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Disney World and Disneyland changed how you get to book dining reservations.

Check out @togetherasone5k on Instagram to sign up! We don’t talk about Universal…but…this week we do. Because let’s be real for a second, Universal is also pretty awesome! On our last Disney trip, we decided to finally make our way over to the “third theme park,” Universal’s water park, Volcano Bay. So this week, we go over the history of Volcano Bay (which interestingly enough predates Universal Studios), the lore behind the park, our experience, the deal with the Tapu Tapus, some tips and tricks on having the best experience, and what our final opinions are about the park including whether or not we’ll go back!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. We start off this week by discussing the good news and bad news about Fantasmic over at Disneyland. Plus more restaurants at Disneyland are going to serve alcohol in September. Imagineers have created some of the most immersive lands and attractions at Disney parks, but what happens when their vision misses the mark? From budget cuts to disco balls to trying to make classic attractions “relevant” we count down the worst and shortest-lived attractions at the Disney Parks. And if you thought the Galactic Starcruiser didn't last long, there are a few on this list that didn't even last ONE YEAR!

Also, Disney’s newest cruise ship, the Treasure, had its bow reveal this week. Which character’s are on it? This week’s episode is Keep, Update, Replace: Disneyland edition. We go though some of your favorite Disneyland and DCA rides and vote whether to keep them as is, update them to make them better, or completely tear them down and replace them. The “future” of Storybook Land Canal Boats, Matterhorn, Webslingers, Alice in Wonderland, and more rest in our hands.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Bob Iger’s contract got extended through 2026. And a new Turduckin hat has been released in EPCOT that Figment fans will fawn over. Our episode this week is sort of a double-feature. We briefly talk about our short Disney trip before we did the Galactic Starcruiser and holy cow was it really awesome! We actually had a lot of Disney firsts like riding Tron Lightcycle Run, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and getting to see a warthog get some dental work. After that, we move on to our main topic of the week, Disneyland vs Disney World Ride Comparisons. We stack 10 rides and attractions up against each other from both coasts and see which one is better. So which Pirates of the Caribbean comes away with the booty? Which Haunted Mansion would we rather inhabit? And which would win in a race for our hearts: Test Track or Radiator Springs Racers? Tune in and see! As always, thank you so much for listening!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week in Disney News, past and current Disney CEO Bob Iger said recently that the parks are too expensive. D23 is coming up, and not much of new substance is expected. The panels appear to be reflective or learning-oriented. What does that mean? Finally, Food and Wine announces five new booths and a couple of interesting new menus items. This week we talk about our recent and final voyage on the Galactic Star Cruiser aka the “Star Wars hotel.” One would think we would find it less magical the second go around, after all, the storyline stays the same, but no. This time, we both enjoyed it even more, from the cast to the other passengers to our experience in Galaxy’s Edge. We talk about how this second voyage enhanced our understanding and allowed us to interact better with the cast. In that, beware, we definitely include spoilers. We dive into the differences in our paths from the first time and what we think Disney needs to take away from this experience after they close it down in September. We wrap up with our biggest takeaways from the experience that we will cherish and apply in our everyday lives. As always, thank you so much for listening! Have a magical week!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Today, we’re keeping our news in Walt Disney World. Imagineers have started testing Moana Journey of Water. In addition to that, Genie+ has undergone some changes. You can now purchase based on what park you’re at if you don’t have park-hoppers or all of the parks. This week we wanted to cover two of what we think are some of Disney’s biggest unsung heroes, the Sherman Brothers. If you’re not familiar with their work, they’re the ones responsible for the “It’s a Small World” song as well as many other Disney hits both in the parks and on film. Even though they didn’t always get along, their working relationship was very fruitful and their extended jingle-style music still continues to capture the hearts and minds of people today.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. For those of you over by Disneyland or with a very close Disneyland trip booked, Rogers: The Musical starts playing tomorrow at the Hyperion Theater. Also, due to the writers’ strike, Disney is delaying a lot of movies from your favorite Disney-owned properties: Marvel, Star Wars, and Avatar. This week is part two of our two-part trip recap to Universal Studios Hollywood and Disneyland. This week, we’re talking Disneyland! With Disney World being our home park, we’re always partial, but this time we feel like something changed for us. We were able to appreciate the special magic that Walt’s original park has. We talk about the wonderful Magic Happens parade, World of Color water show and subsequent drenching, eating at the Magic Key Terrace and Lamplight Lounge, and buying Genie+ for the first time.

We also share our thoughts on the rides, minigames, and Express Pass. If you plan on going yourself, you’ll benefit from our mistakes and successes.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Today’s episode is brought to you by The Cheesecake Factory. Okay, not really.

If that isn’t enough to draw you in, you can learn all about this sort-of failed Disney concept that lasted a respectable 20 years when our beloved Starcruiser didn’t even last 2!

Disney also released more concept art for the Pixar Place remodel at Disneyland. Today, we’ll tackle the last Disney World Park, Magic Kingdom, in our ongoing series: Keep, Update, Replace. Should Disney keep Haunted Mansion? Would it be a good idea to replace Jungle Cruise? Would a staged alien invasion be the solution to the eternal issue that is the Hall of Presidents?

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Scott Lange’s memoir, Look Out for the Little Guy, a fictional book in Ant Man is going to become real. Plus, Josh D’Amaro dropped some interesting park news at a recent investor conference. And in our main segment, we ask, “What if Disney+ used ChatGPT to write their movie descriptions?” Joe used the AI chatbot to create overly simplistic descriptions of Disney movies, and Angela tries to guess them. The struggle’s real in this one as Angela grapples with the AI’s vague wording and hopes after seeing her results, the listeners don’t kick her off the show. All the while, Joe fights with his tongue’s resistance to pronouncing the word enigmatic. As always, thank you so much for listening! Have a magical week!
