Enchanted Ears: A Disney Adults Podcast

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+! And if you’re currently planning a Disney experience of any kind and need a Disney expert to help you have the best trip possible, contact friend of the podcast Becky Ginther at [email protected].

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!

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.

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.

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? Reach out to Becky at Castle Dreams Travel ([email protected]) and let her know Enchanted Ears sent you! 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! 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!

Lastly, the new restaurant over at Hollywood Studios, Rodeo Roundup BBQ, will open in a spring of 2023. In this last episode of the year, we do our year-end review of 2022. What are the best things to happen this year? We talk about the Starcruiser, Disney+ content, and the return of Bob Iger among a few other things. We also have a few predictions about next 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! 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. But hey, our differences are what make us unique and don’t at all ever cause arguments. Lol 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 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!

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!

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!

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?

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+.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

This week, we will talk about Riverfront Square: the park that never was.

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!

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.

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. Animal Kingdom is a beautiful park, but we often hear that people skip this park if they’re limited on time. This week, we give you a list of 10 reasons why we love Animal Kingdom.

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.

Tale of The Lion King will be at Disneyland May 28 in the Fantasyland Theater! Also, The Soul of Jazz that was at Disney World will be at Disneyland from June 1-July 4. Plus, Disney+ (hehe see what I did there) took a billion dollar write off to account for some of the losses they took this past year. Signing up for a race can definitely be intimidating, so this week we want to help lessen the stress and give you some Dos and Don’ts for doing a RunDisney race. For example, do take your driver’s license to the race expo, so you can pick up your bib, and don’t think you need to set a world record!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week, we have some fun Disney Queue Trivia for you, but first, Disney News. There’s a lot to say this week! In Disneyland Paris (which seems to be the testing ground for other parks) announced they’re creating a Premier Access Ultimate Pass, which gives you a lightning lane for 12 attractions. Is it coming to the U.S. next? We shall see! Moving over to Tokyo Disneyland, the big news is they’re redoing Space Mountain and Tomorrowland. The area will close in 2024 and reopen in 2027. Here in the U.S., the Paradise Pier Hotel in Disneyland will be redone to be Pixar-themed. Also in Disneyland, the Oogie Boogie Bash will be returning to Disneyland. Over in Disney World, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will also return (in August!) with some special overlays!!! And finally, down in Disney World, Florida’s government repealed the Reedy Creek Improvement District that basically allows Disney to have their own sort of government since Disney sits in 2 different counties. We’ll see what that means in the future. According to Kilimanjaro Safari, how did conservationists solve the conflict between farmers in Africa and wild elephants? What year do you get transported back to in the Hollywood Tower of Terror? Disney Imagineers spend a lot of time trying to make our wait time for rides in Disney World interesting. Answer these questions and more as we play Disney Queue Trivia. Thanks for listening and have a magical week!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week in Disney News, Justin Bartha will be reprising his role as Riley Poole on the National Treasure show on Disney+. The Tarzan Treehouse over in Disneyland is getting rethemed, and we have a theory of what that theme will be! You can be part of the Mural of Memories on Cinderella Castle for the incredibly low price of $9.99, but is it really worth it? And what is it? Finally, in the most exciting news of the week, the song list for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind was released. Just like Mission Breakout, there are several songs you can get during your ride experience, making each ride unique (until you’ve had all 6). Jeff Bezos. Richard Branson. Joe and Angela. What do all of these people have in common? We’ve all been to space! Okay, not really, but we HAVE been to Space 220, a close second? This week we lay out for you the top 5 reasons why you shouldn’t go to Space 220 and the top 5 reasons why you should go to Space 220. Thanks for listening and have a magical week!

We got the inside scoop on what that means. This week we’re so excited to describe our latest Disney trip to you all! It was an action-packed 6 days where we ran 16.2 miles, ate an impressive amount of food from places we’d never tried before, and had a few fun and memorable experiences.

So insert some Disney news here of your choice. Since this past weekend was the Springtime Surprise Race in Disney World, we thought it would be fun to discuss the history of runDisney. It started more recently than you probably thought and has had an interesting growth trajectory over the past 30 years. Did you know there used to be an inline skating marathon? How about that the marathon and half marathon used to take place on the same day? What about the fact that Disneyland Paris is the only international Disney park with its own race?

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week in Disney News, Minnie Vans will be coming back this summer! Also, the Magic Kingdom Train will be returning too, although we’re not sure of when. And according to Joe, ya’ll must be straight trippin’ when it comes to the YouTube poll of the best EPCOT attraction! The past few years, we often decided to utilize days we got off of work to take a quick trip to Disney, so when a friend asked me last week for some advice on this matter, I thought it would be a perfect podcast! This week, we cover our top Tips for a Long-Weekend Trip to Disney. What should you do when you only have 2-3 days to spend at Disney? Should you park hop and try to hit everything? Should you stay out late and get up when you feel like it? NO! Disney has tons of offerings, but know that in a short span of a few days, you can’t possibly do and see it all. With some careful planning and healthy expectation-managing, you can have a fun-packed few days! Be sure to tune in for all 10 tips (plus a few bonus tips) for planning a successful short trip.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week in Disney News, Disney announced they’re going to be building a new DVC Tower at the Poly where the Spirit of Aloha dinner show takes place. Obviously, reactions aren’t very enthusiastic as that show has been popular in the past. Also, the Ms. Marvel tv show has a release date and a trailer dropped! This week, we reimagine one of the best-designed Disney parks, the Animal Kingdom. Since Joe Rhode helped design the park, it’s beautiful in so many ways. We tweak it by adding more attractions, since it’s one of the only ways it’s lacking. We talk about adding a Spaceship Earth-esque dinosaur ride, a Zootopia land (perfect fit, right?), and our two favorite pet-rides we keep asking for: Escape from Elephant Graveyards and Tarzan Tree Surfing. Seriously though Disney, can we build these? We also reimagine the inside of the tree of life to include our favorite animal-loving member of the Madrigal family!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week in Disney news, some interesting news came out of the shareholder meeting that doesn’t seem to bode well for the near future of the parks. Speaking of the parks, the ride vehicles over at Tron Lightcycle are on track and moving to push/pull testing. Also, pictures of Guardians Comic Rewind are out. DCA Food and Wine festival going on. Mac and cheese is a magical food that you can’t possibly mess up, right? Well, they may have found a way with their peanut butter and jelly mac and cheese. We can’t begin to imagine what that tastes like. This week, we pick our favorite Magic Kingdom attractions and get some help from other Disney podcasters/YouTubers. We go land-by-land and say what our must-ride is as well as our overall favorite ride in Magic Kingdom.
