Show notes

This week, two podcasts are joining forces to talk through the re-opening of the Disney parks. We talk with Garytt Poirier and Greg Hahn from the DplusCAST to examine: Is it a good idea? What precautions are they putting in place in Shanghai? Which parks will open first in the states, and when would our Disney obsessed hosts line up to go on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride? All this, and a great rant from Greg on the future of Quibi, on Slice of Disney.

4. Matterhorn May 12, 2020

Show notes

Welcome to the Swiss Alps and watch out for the Yeti - this week we get in our bobsleds and slide through an Iconic Disney ride, Matterhorn. The only attraction to move back (and forth) between different 'lands' within the park, it's also the only ride to feature real life mountain climbers on the exterior. At least as far as we know.

We dive deep into the mountain and even talk a little Randy Newman, so grab yourself a hot cocoa at the ski lodge, get warm by the fire, and enjoy!

2. Soarin' Apr 28, 2020

Show notes

This week we learn all about a ride non-Disney goers may have never heard of - but one that has some of the longest lines on any given day: Soarin'! Both an innovation in sensory experience and ride technology, Soarin' takes you on a tour of California - and then the world.

Hear us talk about the development of the ride, what to expect, where the hidden mickey's are... and what Soarin' over our home states might look like. Enjoy!
