Enchanted Ears: A Disney Adults Podcast

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Our news this week is our main topic because it’s a shocker. Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is closing. That’s right, this cutting-edge, not-even-toddler-age endeavor will stop “taking flight” come September. This week, we share our feelings about this. We also speculate why we think it happened, and contemplate the direction of the Disney company as a whole. We also share what we think Disney’s going to do with the Starcruiser after it closes. In a moment of levity, Joe posits more accounting questions than most (or at least Angela) would care to know, and for you the valued listener, she steps in to prevent any sort of boredom-related sleep issues that could arise from too much money talk.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3 just came out at the end of last week, and this week we need to talk about it. This podcast sits somewhere between a movie review (we have some big thoughts on the story and realism of the issues discussed in the movie) and a discussion of Marvel at large and where they’re headed. At this point, it seems as though they’ve lost their way in the Galaxy a bit, not that the movie is bad because it’s not. But, they also don’t seem to have the clarity they once had during the Infinity Saga. Where are they going with all of this? Why are people getting a bit tired of these movies? Where should they go from here? And how can they see themselves out of these awkward teenage years? 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. Walt Disney announced a big fitness initiative. We’re most excited about the new pickleball courts! Plus, is Disney developing an Encanto musical for Broadway? Food is important. As Disney World people, we're constantly trying new restaurants and returning to old favorites. But what about Disneyland? What are the best and most highly-rated places to take a load off and enjoy a nice treat or meal? During today's episode, we take a deep dive into the world of Disneyland food and end up with some unexpected questions. Like why does Disneyland seem so reasonably priced or should Disney just serve Dole Whip at every restaurant to boost guest ratings? So join us on this culinary adventure as we undercover everything from the best places to eat on Main Street to where the ideal spot to unwind with a cocktail in hand is at in DCA to the character dining we would rather order off of the kid’s menu.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Animal Kingdom turned 25 this past weekend! It’s wild to think that in our very first episode ever, we commemorated the 20th anniversary! 350 cabins at Fort Wilderness are getting replaced by more modern cabins and the restaurant, and potentially getting a new restaurant, since Trail’s End Restaurant is closed. And the Maleficent dragon at Disneyland caught fire during a show last week, which forced them to shut down the Fantasmic show for audience safety. It’s our 250th episode extravaganza, and because of that, we’re going Inside Out to talk about our Top Disney Core Memories. We cover our trips to international parks, the many Adventures we’ve had, and the friends we’ve made along the way. Also, Angela reacts to the fact that Joe’s #1 Disney memory is sans her. Can you believe that!? (It’s a pretty good memory though.) Thank you to all of the listeners who have supported us throughout these five years! It’s been so great to have you along for the ride!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. A few additional things came out of the Star Wars Celebration that give us the feels. A Gaya album will be dropping on May 4th. On the not-so-great news front, The Bad Batch will get a third and final season next year. We did Animal Kingdom and had so much fun, we decided to play Keep, Update, Replace: Hollywood Studios. We assess some of the most popular and, let’s face it, unpopular rides in the park. And we even got your opinion on the matter using a poll on our Instagram @enchantedearspodcast. What should be done with Muppet Vision 3D, Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, Slinky Dog Dash, Rise of the Resistance, Tower of Terror, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Millennium Falcon Smuggler’s Run, and the Frozen Sing Along Celebration? We think some pretty big changes need to occur to revive the tributes to movie magic while also teaching the next generation what amazing possibilities exist with a little spark…of inspiration. Some other big changes, in the form of locking restraints, might be needed if Frozen gets Angela’s suggested update to keep Joe from charging the stage to meet a Disney (and cultural) icon.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. There was a lot of news this week! Star Wars Celebration was going on in London this past week. At it, new movies were said to be in the works including one tying up the Mandoverse. Plus, a live action Moana is in the works as announced by The Rock. We’re very interested to see what direction this takes, as it’s super early in the process. Disney’s so woven into the fabric of our culture and society, it’s not at all surprising that some pretty amazing things have happened on their hallowed ground. Did you know Doritos were invented at Disneyland? Or that Disneyland had a Wizard of Bras? Or that the Beatles broke up at the Polynesian? Or that Elton John wrote Rocket Man while riding the Astro Obiter? OK, maybe one of those didn’t happen, but three of them totally did. This week, we cover these absolutely wild stories plus the one world record set at a Disney Park that we think we could break. 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. The Aristocats live action movie was announced with Quest Love directing and doing music for it. Also, the first round of layoffs at the Disney Company are happening. Some of the big cuts are in the divisions dealing with Bob Chapek’s focuses: Meta verse and Disney Prime. Sometimes in life, one has to make the hard decision to get rid of things that you no longer want or need, to maybe repair what's broken, and to keep things that spark joy exactly as they are. What if we applied this decisive Marie Kondo-esque philosophy to the Disney World parks? What would we keep, update, and replace in Animal Kingdom? This week, we tackle this difficult question when it comes to some of Animal Kingdom's biggest (and smallest) attractions including Flight of Passage, Dinosaur, Expedition Everest, and Joe's favorite, Feathered Friends in Flight. Also, Angela has ideas about just who could repair the Yeti. It's definitely NOT Bob Iger wearing jean overalls like the long-lost Super Mario Brother. Nonetheless, fan art of that would be appreciated - which you can send to @enchantedearspodcast on Instagram. 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. There’s a new tour in town at Disneyland. A tour with Disney history, plus a chat with an animator, plus a commemorative pin? Mickey, take our money now! And rumor has it that Galaxy’s Edge has been canceled at Disneyland Paris and a Lion King themed land complete with a water ride will go in its place. Angela is obviously pessimistically optimistic about this rumor and will be holding her breath until the rumored announcement date in April, at which point she will need to be revived and given the news. With more than 25 Disney World Resort hotels, it can be overwhelming trying to decide where to stay on your next trip. What’s your budget? How about what park you plan to spend the most time in? What amenities are important to you? There’s are a just a few questions that can come into play when deciding which hotel is best. This week we’ve decided to simplify the process by giving you our top hotel picks. We tackle the best options based on price, location and how much time you plan to spend in your room vs. the theme parks. We did so much research, we even learned something new! So if that doesn’t hook you, we don’t know what will! As always, thank you so much for listening! Have a magical week! 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. With Tron opening April 4th and running soft openings now, the new Tron merch is out, and it looks pretty awesome! Also, this week Disney announced a bunch of new character-based interactions coming this year. Moana will be on the Floatillas in Animal Kingdom starting April 22. Mirabel will debut in the fall at Fairytail Garden in the Magic Kingdom. And Figment will appear at Imagination Pavillion later this year! Legacy? What is a legacy? With the passing of famous Imagineer and Disney Legend, Rolly Crump, this past week, we wanted to zoom in on the man and really talk about his life and what he's left behind. It takes a special person to recognize their strengths, elevate others, and think outside the box, and that's exactly the type of person Rolly Crump was. From all accounts, he helped others actualize their potential, was revered by Walt, and he is responsible for some of the most iconic designs in Disneyland and Disney World. Crump worked on It's a Small World, The Enchanted Tiki Room, and Haunted Mansion along with countless other projects both in the Disney Parks and beyond. It was a pleasure to learn about the life and contributions of this amazing man, and we think you're going to enjoy it, too! 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. This week in Disney news we discuss what the recent cuts to the Galactic Starcuiser’s schedule could mean to it’s future and get totally sidetracked by the Philadelphia Flyers mascot while discussing some epic Daredevil: Born Again casting. Plus, you’ll soon be able to get a Dole Whip anytime you want. Some people may call it stupid to wake up at 2:45 am for 4 days in a row to run 46.6 miles, but Disney calls it Dopey. And with Marathon Weekend sign-ups fast-approaching, your 3rd and 10th favorite podcast hosts (we all know which of us is your number 3) compiled a lists of Dopey training Dos and Don'ts that you can use to determine if you want to run and what to do to once you inevitably decide to follow Master Yoda's advice, "Do or do not, there is no try." Your training program, race meals, and attitude along with a lot of other factors will determine how good of an experience you have. But some things will definitely hold you back like eating foods your stomach doesn't digest well (hello Port-o-potty) and thinking that one missed run will ruin your whole training program. Plus, take it from us, if you run with a prop, you better try it out or you'll probably be forced to litter in front of the Castle. Oops! As always, thank you so much for listening!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News! If you haven’t seen the Encanto and Tiana topiaries, you need to and when better to see them than EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival that goes on from March 1-July 5? The new Haunted Mansion trailer is out and it looks amazing (and a bit scary)! We can’t wait to see where they take the story, but if it’s anywhere as near as all the Haunted Mansion nods, it’s going to be great! Going to Disney is such an amazing experience that almost everyone wants to do again and again. But, being the leading theme park in the world also means Disney can and needs to charge high prices for the experience. This week, we give our 10 best tips and tricks to saving money on your Disney World trip. We cover everything from how to save on food to finding the cheapest hotel to how to keep your merch hauls from breaking your bank. Also, we reveal how it may actually be more fiscally responsible to stay an extra day verses purchasing Genie+!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News! Disney dropped the ultra-modern concept art for villas over at the Disneyland Hotel. They look so sleek…almost too sleek. Rogers the Musical is coming to the Hyperion Theater in Disneyland. We’re hopeful that means it’s in the pipeline to be a full-blown musical in a few years. We went to the Disney 100 The Exhibition grand opening at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, so we figured this week we’d give you the rundown of what’s in it and our experience. Journey through the various galleries with us and hear what Disney memorabilia is contained within the exhibition. Hear our highlights, which includes the the original Matterhorn ride vehicle, the Nautilus used in Disney’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and Porgs so real you’ll want to sneak them into a natural history museum. On top of all that, the exhibition has an incredible music gallery that allows you to hear Disney’s top animated hit songs from Moana, Encanto, and Frozen translated and performed into various languages! We also share the best times to visit the exhibit and our interesting experience being recorded for use across all space and time in perpetuity. As always, thank you so much for listening!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News! Reservations for Hollywood Studios newest restaurant open up on February 21. Plus, Disney released footage of the upcoming World of Frozen expansion at Hong Kong Disneyland and we are absolutely IN LOVE with the updated Elsa animatronic. In our main segment, we cover our picks for the must do attractions and Magic Kingdom, plus the ones you can totally skip! Basically we end up gushing about how much we love Haunted Mansion (I mean who doesn’t?!?) and then Joe makes some picks that may lose us a few listeners. Also a big shout out to the Happiest Hour on Earth podcast, the Market House podcast and Abby @disneyadventuretime for adding their picks to this week’s episode.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News! The big news this week came out of the Disney’s investor call. They will be restructuring the company into 3 divisions. With that, they’ll be cutting 7,000 jobs. And then surprising news of 3 sequels dropped including the one we predicted all the way back when the D23 Expo happened: Frozen 3. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, we started to ponder, “What would a date in Disney World look like?”. This week we answer that very question. Where can you go with your partner, what can you do, and even what can you wear to have the most romantic date? And we answer the nagging question, “Which Disney World park is the most romantic?”. Then we wrap it all up with what would be the nicest full-day date we could think of. Looking to plan a Disney trip this year?

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News! The ride concept for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is out, and it’s an interesting one. After the success of Tiana’s Palace, Tiana’s now set her sights on helping the community by starting a community-owned food co-op of sorts inside an old salt mine. Also, over in Universal, a few weeks ago, Universal announced they’ll be building two new experiences/parks in other locations in the U.S., one in Texas, the other in Las Vegas. As Disney people, we don’t always hop on over to Universal Studios, but on our latest Disney trip, we decided to pay Universal a visit. We learned quite a bit from the trip and really got a chance to see with new eyes exactly where Universal thrives and Disney could up their game a little. So this week, we talk about some of the things we really loved about Universal that Disney could learn from (and maybe a few things we weren’t so much a fan of). We also discuss the future of Universal and how that will absolutely have a direct impact on Disney, especially if Disney doesn’t prepare themselves for it.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News! The opening date for Rodeo Roundup BBQ in Toy Story Land is March 23. Disneyland’s Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway opened last week. As per the usual, Disneyland got an upgraded version of the ride with a few small additional scenes and incredible queue theming. In the latest installment of “Bob Iger thinks the parks are too pricey,” the price of Savvi’s Lightsabers and droids have been decreased. We love how he’s making the parks more affordable and wonder why this isn’t in the news more. Finally, Disney has patented head-mounted camera display for costumed characters. The invention will give cast members better visibility out of their costumes. It’s officially the Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary celebration, so this week we’re talking about what we see as the company’s highlights over the past 100 years. We discuss what failures led to the thriving Disney company we know today, how Walt’s loss of Oswald gave rise to Mickey, the innovations made by the company in order to improve entertainment as we know it, the contributions of Eisner and Iger, and how Disney’s changed our culture and the world. It’s an absolutely bananas 100 years. Here’s to 100+ more! As always, thank you so much for listening!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News! Disney’s 100th Anniversary food has been revealed and as usual, it looks pretty good. But the big story is the poison apple mug and the Mickey Mouse sipper. The new Donald Duck Restaurant in Shanghai has opened and features the cutest duck in all the lands. Lastly, when Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway opens in Disneyland, you’ll have to join a virtual queue to ride like most other new attractions in the Disney parks. This week we give our trip recap of Marathon Weekend. We discuss crowds, what we did (ate a lot) and didn’t do (ride a lot), how the races worked, the highlights of both running and spectating the races, and the Dopey Challenge. We had a total blast and put pretty much no pressure on ourselves to do much of anything besides run, eat, and enjoy ourselves which made for a delightful trip.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week there was so much news, we decided to make it the full episode. Tune in next week for our full recap of our Disney trip and the Dopey Challenge. The Disney Dining Plan has been nonexistent since pandemic, but now Disney is offering some dining promotions up to $750 at no extra cost. We know “Happily Ever After” was coming back, but now we have a date! April 3 is the day! Epcot Forever will also be returning April 3. But possibly the biggest news is that the barges are going bye bye! Speaking of Disney shows, “Avengers: Power the Night” drone show will be running in Parisian on the Tower of Terror for their 30th anniversary grand finale from January 28 through May 8. This show will feature 500 drones making iconic items from he MCU like Cap’s shield, Ironman’s repulsers, and Dr. Strange’s sling ring. In a strange turn of events…Disney is cutting costs for guests. Yes, you read it correctly. Over in Disney World, there will be complimentary parking at hotels, relaxed passholder reservations after 2, and Genie+ will include attraction photos. For the 100th anniversary, Disneyland in California will allow park hopping at 11 and free attraction photos starting February 4th. They will also offer two months’ worth of $104 days. And in the last piece of Disney news for now, Reedy Creek changed the land usage plan, which will allow them to create space for another theme park, if they’d like. We speculate on what this might mean. As always, thank you so much for listening!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News! Since we’re still coming down from our races, we’re recording early and only have this one, very excellent, piece of very appropriate news: RunDisney’s returning to Disneyland in 2024!! You best believe we’ll be there! This week, we make predictions about what 2023 is going to bring for the Walt Disney Company. Will there be new park/ride announcements? Will Bob Iger really be done at the end of his 2 year contract? Will Pixar finally get their movies back into the theaters? Only time will tell, but we rubbed our crystal ball and think we know the answers to all that and more! As always, thank you so much for listening!

Genie+ is seeing some changes. Now you can modify your ride selections and times if you want instead of being boxed in to your initial selections. Also, Disneyland After Dark is back. Sweethearts Night and Princess Night will be running on select dates from 9pm until 1 am. The various activities sound so fun, especially the balls they’ll be hosting! This week we hop from park to park and select which rides are a must, should, and skip. Of course, our picks are highly personal, and we (comically) don’t even agree with each other.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week it’s all news. We’re not going to beat around the bush. Chapek is out as CEO. Iger is back in. What does this mean for the company!? According to some reports, in last earnings call streaming lost more than anticipated and the parks didn’t make as much as expected, but Chapek didn’t act like there was much wrong. Is that what triggered the end? We also talk about Iger’s rereorganization of the company, how we think the change will impact the psyche of Pixar, and the impact on the 100th and movies in general. Lastly, Iger won’t be back forever, so who will be his new pick as his replacement? We speculate about the choices. As always, thank you so much for listening!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News! Disney announced their quarterly earnings report. It was interesting that the parks made record earnings and the Direct to Consumers division, which includes streaming, lost money. What’s their end game? Disney announced what’s going on with the Disneyland Treehouse. It’s a reimagining of Walt’s original vision of the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse. Wakanda Forever was #1 at the box office making $180 million. After going to see Black Panther this weekend, we started to consider the best franchises in all of Marvel. So this week, we pick the top three and bottom three of the franchises (not including Avengers). So who will reign supreme: T’Challa, Thor, Ironman, Dr. Strange, Spider-Man, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America, or Ant Man? As always, thank you so much for listening!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News! As an added perk for Disney+ subscribers, they got early access to new merch this week. A lot of it sold out fast before it could be released to the general public! The parks have switched over to their holiday offerings. The gingerbread houses are back at some of the hotels! Over in Disney World, the Grand Floridian Contemporary, and Jambo House at Animal Kingdom Lodge, and at Disneyland the Grand Californian all have displays. And you can see even more inside the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland. This week, we did a music-themed “You Can only keep one” episode where we had to make some hard choices between 3 key songs from some of our favorite Disney animated movies: The Lion King, Encanto, Tarzan, Moana, and the Frozen movies. So what gets to stay, “Hakuna Matata,” “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” or “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?”? As always, thank you so much for listening!

Blizzard Beach will be reopening November 13. Plus, it’ll have some new additional Frozen theming. A few new movie trailers came out this past week: Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special and Ant Man: Quantumania. James Gunn has signed on to co-run DC Film Studio, meaning he’s done with Marvel. And finally, Doctor Who is coming to Disney+ in 2023! This Halloween, we’re getting creepy and talking about what we love about one of Disney’s scariest rides: the Haunted Mansion.

Disney increased their ticket prices roughly 8%. Genie+ prices are going up as well. And finally, FINALLY we have an opening date for Fantasmic, and it’s not that far away! November 3 one of the best shows in Disney World will be coming back!!! We've talked about why we're so enchanted by the Magic Kingdom. We’ve reveled in the majesty of Animal Kingdom. We've salivated over EPCOT. Now it's finally time we showcased Hollywood Studios. But why do we love Hollywood Studios? Is it because it's the only park that's undergone a name change? Because it has an old-timey, ritzy feel to it? Because it houses the most diverse selection of rides? Because of the shows? Or is it because of all of this and more?! Listen in to find out!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News! The 100th celebration for the Walt Disney Company at Disneyland will kick off January 27th, 2023! So many exciting things are happening like the opening of Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Rail, the debut of M&M’s new platinum outfits, World of Color 1 and Wonderous Journeys will debut, and more! The talk is Marvel plans on doing more “Special Presentations” instead of series. We’ve chosen the best soundtracks, the best Disney songs ever, and best hero songs, but with Halloween fast-approaching, we’d like to get a little dark and pay homage to the villains who highlight just how good our good guys are and maybe even haunt our nightmares at night. So which villain will reign supreme with the best villain song, one that represents their character, reveals their plan, or just shows how dastardly or downright evil they truly are? Listen in to find out. As always, thank you so much for listening!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News! After hours events are returning to Disney World in January. They include ice cream, treats, and of course “extra park hours.” Hugh Jackman will be returning as Wolverine for Deadpool 3. The movie will come out in September of 2024. Lastly, Seth Rogen’s production company will be making a Figment movie! As avid Disney fans, there are so many things we absolutely LOVE about Disney. It’s as they say, “The happiest place on earth!” But, it’s not perfect and in our various trips, we’ve done some things that we never need to or want to do again. So this week, we flip the script and talk instead about 10ish things we’d never do again in Disney. So listen in and learn from our mistakes. As always, thank you so much for listening!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News! Our favorite Disney World show, KiteTails, will be taking off for its last flight on September 30. Why Disney!? Why?! And also, Disneyland Paris will be selling up-cycled bags from the tarp that covered the castle. D23 is Disney’s biggest hype-invoking event held every 2 years in Anaheim and showcases all the big Disney News from what new rides will go into the parks to what movies are getting made to what shows will be coming to Disney+. Since it took place over last weekend, this week, we’re discussing Disney’s biggest announcements and maybe more notably, what news didn’t come out of it. As always, thank you so much for listening!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News! Oogie Boogie Bash does it again. Daisy, Clara Belle and Minnie as the Sanderson sisters is unbelievable. Not to mention Agatha and Ernesto in the parks makes us Disney Worlders (is that a thing?) jealous. Rumor that Disneyland Paris is scrapping Galaxy’s Edge in favor of Pandora or The Lion King. We’ve talked about it briefly before, but it’s finally time to fully dedicate an episode to the 1964-1965 World’s Fair. Or Not-World Fair as you’ll come to find out. And if you don’t really have the world at the “World Fair,” who do you have? Companies. And if you’re a company who needs a creative mind known for great showmanship who do you need? Well if you said anyone other than Walt Disney here, you may be listening to the wrong podcast! Find out how Walt made the whole showcase a success and got lots of R&D paid for on Pepsi, Ford, and other companies’ dime. As always, thank you so much for listening!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News! WDW’s 50th Anniversary will officially end on March 31, 2023, about 18 months after it started. Disney announced that cast dress rehearsals for Fantasmic have started! Finally!! And lastly, is it possible that Disney will basically get their own Amazon Prime-like service? The talk around town says yes. They’ve mentioned QR codes during Disney+ shows and exclusive merch, but is this something people really want? It’s been a while, so this week we resurrect one of our staples shows, “You can only pick one.” This time we do “Paris Edition” choosing between different rides, shows, versions of the same ride in different parks, and merch. These are always so hard, but we always enjoy how they force us to be critical of things we typically wouldn’t be critical of. Especially when you have three great and unique shows that can only be seen in Paris. Do you agree with our picks? As always, thank you so much for listening!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News! Disney+ Day coming up September 8. We are learning about some of the movies/shows that will be released that day. If you can’t make it to D23, they’re live-streaming a lot of the big panels. We tell you what you can watch! The park pass system is undergoing some changes to make it easier. We did Animal Kingdom. We did Magic Kingdom. Now it’s time for us to give our Top 10 Reasons Why We Love EPCOT! Officially conceived by Walt as an experimental community (of tomorrow if we need to get specific here), EPCOT has still managed to be a community, just a little different kind of a community. We love so much about the small world feel and you get so many added bonuses like the food and ease of getting there. Also, be sure to let us know what you love so much about EPCOT! A special thanks goes out to Derek P. and Abbey M. for the thoughtful questions. If you have a question submit it here. As always, thank you so much for listening!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News! Behind the Scenes tours in EPCOT are coming back October 2. Skipper Canteen added some new food items including a hanger steak, lamb chops, and a delicious orange Dole whip drink. It was announced that the Springtime Surprise Race will be Pixar-themed. And finally, the Disney Legends were announced for this year and what’s very interesting is the cast of Frozen is on the list. Since Legend announcements usually commemorate some event, it makes us wonder, are they gonna announce Frozen 3? Last week, we talked about our fantastic trip to Portugal with Adventures by Disney. This week we finish talking about our European getaway by rehashing about our visit to Disneyland Paris. We talk about the parks, where we stayed, what’s the same, what’s different, what we ate, crowd levels, the AMAZING shows, their 30th anniversary celebration, the amazing shop almost entirely dedicated to the best Disney movie ever, and more! If you're looking to plan a Disney trip reach out to Becky Ginther at [email protected] and let her know Enchanted Ears sent you. A special thanks goes out to Emmy T. for the thoughtful question.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we tell you all about our Adventures by Disney trip to Portugal, it’s time for a little Disney News! While we were gone, a lot has happened. San Diego Comic Con for one, which had a few major announcements. The biggest of these was that Daredevil will be getting an 18 episode first season on Disney+. The biggest absence of an announcement though was regarding phase 6 of the MCU, which we assume will be reserved for D23. Tokyo DisneySea debuted its new night show “Believe! Sea of Dreams” which replaced Phantasmic and features projection mapping on the Hotel MiraCosta. Disney also had its earnings call. The parks are making money, but the streaming services are losing money. During the call, we learned that on December 8th, Disney+ will increase its cost $3 if you want to continue to watch your content ad free or you can continue to pay $7.99 but will have to watch with ads. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party stared on August 12. New this year is a Max Goof wearing a Powerline costume. Phew! That was a lot of news! Okay, we’re ready to dig in to our Adventures by Disney trip to Portugal. Adventures by Disney is essentially group travel with a pre-set itinerary and the Disney-level of service. The Portugal trip begins in Porto, then moves to the capital city of Lisbon and finishes up in the Algarve. In this podcast, we discuss our favorite parts of the trip, our least favorite parts of the trip, the value of having the guides vs booking it yourselves, and give you a step by step of the experience. Then we candidly tell you whether or not we think it was worth it. When doing a trip like this, it’s easiest to book through a travel agent since there are a lot of little things you need to do ahead of time. We always book through Becky Ginther at Castle Dreams Travel. Check her out at [email protected]. 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, we’re not going to horse around. No news! Holy cow do we have a wild one for you today! Saddle up because this week we interview the wonderful Dr. Dan! Dr. Dan was featured in the Disney+ series, The Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and ever since we watched it, we’ve wanted to talk to him about what sounds like one of the most interesting jobs on earth! This week, Dr. Dan answers all of our burning animal questions like “What kind of challenges or opportunities arise from working at a zoo that is also a theme park,” “What’s your funniest experience at work” and “How did you get to work at Disney?” Everyone, this one is the bees’ knees. We HIGHLY recommend listening to it with kids or really anyone who needs a little motivation because Dr. Dan is an absolute delight with his insightfulness and positivity. Also, share it with your animal-loving friends. As always, thank you so much for listening!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Since we’re recording this in advance, we don’t have any news for you today, so let’s jump right into our main topic. The Magic Kingdom is truly an enchanting place. It’s the most iconic park, and for good reason. Where else can you “drink in” (thank you Jeff Goldblum for that lovely turn of phrase) the amazing atmosphere of Main Street, take a few more steps and be at the foot of a castle, and visit three famous mountains!? This amazing place definitely has a way of Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Booing itself right into your heart, making you want to come back again and again! As always, thank you so much for listening!

Avengers Campus at Disneyland Paris opened! Magic Band+ will finally come out on July 27th! And the water at the Jungle Cruise in Disneyland was turned pink!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. But before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News! After bringing back the Main Street Electrical Parade at the beginning of summer, Disneyland will be ending it on September 1. Rumor has it that Disney is considering an afternoon entry for annual pass holders. And in EPCOT, there’s a new Beauty and the Beast show on Spaceship Earth for Food and Wine Festival. This week, we’re talking about one of the biggest Disney movie flops of all time: John Carter. Based on a 1912 serialized story turned book, the 2012 sci-fi movie was plagued with difficulty since its inception. We give a lot of this history, discuss its source material, and then finally, give our opinions on the movie. Why did it fail? We think there’s too many reasons to name here, so you’ll just have to listen to find out! As always, thank you so much for listening!

During this month, they’re offering a special opportunity to DVC members to do a cocktail/dessert party with viewing for fireworks for around $55. This week, we will talk about Riverfront Square: the park that never was. Riverfront Square was probably the most famous failed park idea of Disney’s that was set to be built in St. Louis from 1963-1965. We discuss what the park would have included and why it was never built. 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, Lightyear came in second place at the box office during its opening weekend, which makes us wonder if the interest in Toy Story has waned or the interest in kids’ movies has waned. Universal announced they’re opening escape rooms themed to some of their awesome properties. Which Disney IPs do you think would make a great escape room? And Disney officially announced the return of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Disney World! Happy summer everyone! Lots of people love summer for the long days of bright sunlight, but summer brings its own unique challenges to what would otherwise be a wonderful Disney World visit: the heat and relentless sun!

It will run on select dates from September 6 through October 31 from 6-11 pm. Adventures by Disney announced a 24 day around the world trip that would bankrupt most people, but looks amazing!! And lastly, Harmonious Live will be the first live event that will air on Disney+ on June 21 and showcase some amazing talent from all over the world. Disney World is amazing. The atmosphere and excitement seem to permeate the air and inject even the most bleak days with a touch of magic. However, just because it’s amazing, doesn’t mean it’s perfect. This week, we discuss 10 (with a few bonuses) vital improvements that Disney World should make right now.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week in Disney News, Avengers Campus in Disneyland Paris will open July 20. It looks very similar to the one in Disneyland, but they have extra food options. And the restaurant Stark Factory has Hulkbuster armour! Garsh! Happy 90th birthday, Goofy! There are some big changes to Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland! They’ve decided to break the timeline (Galaxy’s Edge is supposed to be between Episode 7 and 8). Boba Fett and Fennec Shand are already in the park. In the future, Mando and Grogu will be appearing. We also got a preview of some new merch coming to the parks including new lightsaber parts and Ashoka ears.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week in Disney News, concept art and some preliminary plot details for Pixar’s newest movie Elemental were released on their social media. In the parks, there have been a lot of little announcements. Disney will not be allowing people to prepurchase Genie+ after June 8. Also, on June 8th, ticket packages for 2023 will be going on sale. In addition to that, early park entry will continue through 2023. Lastly, Variety published an article that a Daredevil series in the works!!! Since the new Chip N’ Dale Rescue Rangers movie came out on Disney+ this past weekend, we figured we’d talk all about our second favorite rodent duo (after Mickey and Minnie, of course). Chip n’ Dale have had an interesting ride from being antagonizing side characters to Pluto and Donald Duck in the 1940s all the way to headlining their own TV series in the late 80s. They’ve stayed mostly the same, but have also had some interesting facelifts (or CGI surgeries) along the way. Tune in to find out more about these two mischievous brothers/friends.
