60. Haunted Mansion Part 3: Imagineers, Assemble! Aug 25, 2021

Show notes

We're back for another Kelly Washington birthday! This time, we're on part three of the Haunted Mansion. It was an attraction Walt knew he wanted, but for years could never crack - and in this episode, we're taking you deep into the team of imagineers tasked with bringing the iconic attraction to life.

Special note for Kelly: Happy birthday! Everyone go to instagram and wish her happy birthday! For as much grief as I give her on the show, she's truly a treasure to work - and be friends - with. Thanks for another year of SoD!

59. Loving Theme Parks - with For the Love of Theme Parks! Aug 10, 2021

Show notes

We're taking a step outside of the Disney parks this episode (but not for too long, we're in Disney too!) and we bring in the heavy hitters - we were thrilled to be joined by Ryan and Isabelle from For the Love of Theme Parks! We discuss the undisputed best dessert at Disney, the fastpass hamburger theory, and Kelly makes a reluctant admission about Universal... at least, I think she does?

To see the Hamburger theory, check out their tiktok!

Go here to see all the rest of their content, but first check out their video tasting *all* of the drinks from Harry Potter World!

58. Kilimanjaro Safaris Jul 20, 2021

Show notes

We're going on a safari! On this episode of Slice of Disney, we dive deep into Disney's Animal Kingdom. Not only are there real, living breathing lions in the park, there's over 2 million plants, 1.5 million cubic yards of dirt, and even some poachers! At least at one point there was. Find out what's changed this week on Slice of Disney!

Happy birthday Will! On this years birthday episode, we are breaking down the scariest attraction to ever live in Magic Kingdom - the ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter! How did a horror ride end up in the happiest place on earth? Is it obvious that Michael Eisner was behind it? And which one of our hosts went on it and which one was too scared?

Listen and find out!

55. Avengers Campus Opening Day! Jun 08, 2021

Show notes

This week the Avengers assembled at Disneyland, and Kelly got to go experience it! There were a lot of cool touches, but honestly, a lot of misses too. Hear Kelly dip into the disappointed side, as she utters some of her harshest words yet about a Disney ride (comparing it to a... Universal attraction?) but also about all the cool characters you can run into, and the vibe in general.

53. The Big Thunder Prequel! May 18, 2021

Show notes

This week we are going back in time and taking you on a journey to the wild west! What was frontier town like before Big Thunder Mountain Railroad? Did Walt straight up steal the idea from a boysenberry farm? What was the big deal with the Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland? And how many colors were in the rainbow in the 1960's? Find out all this and more on Slice of Disney!

52. May the Fourth Be With You - with Andrew Godoski May 04, 2021

Show notes

We're talking Star Wars this week with super fan and science fiction writer Andrew Godoski! Kelly and Andrew walk us through the fan experience at Galaxy's Edge, what it's like to build a lightsaber and droid, and what you can expect if you find yourself on Batuu. We'll be spending plenty of time in future eps dissecting the development of the land, but today is all about the fan experience.

51. One Year of Slice of Disney! Apr 27, 2021

Show notes

We are opening our grab bag this week and catching up on one year of podcasting together - recording this time in person! We talk about our highlights from the year, our lowlights, big changes coming to Disney and Kelly's trip to Touch of Disney - and tease our special episode coming for May the Fourth.

It's really nice to be back together, even if we have to record from a closet!
