Carousel of Progress - A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow

Disney’s Patriotic Past: How the Parks Celebrate America

Happy birthday America! We celebrate America’s 250th by exploring how Disney has honored the United States throughout its history, from Walt’s patriotic ideals to theme-park tributes. From Walt's own service as an ambulance driver, to supporting the World War II effort, to today's Flag Retreat Ceremony and more, we look at the more patriotic side of Disney.  Plus we bring back one of our favorite games with several very patriotic rounds of Sink, Float, Sail. Finally we take a look at the recently released Eat to the Beat concert lineup as we start to gear up for this years Food and Wine Festival!

Movie Night: The Lion King

This episode we do a deep dive into one of our all time favorite movies, The Lion King. We talk about our own personal memories of seeing this in theaters as kids, go through the history of its creation, and discuss its legacy and impact since then. This is our first Movie Night episode but we are planning to do more of these in the future. Let us know what you think by leaving a comment wherever you're listening to this or on Facebook or Instagram!

Are We the Passholes?

It's our one-year anniversary episode and we decided to celebrate by complaining! We talk about the things that irk us at Disney and rate them on our extremely scientific bothersome scale. Let us know what we got right, what we got wrong, and whether or not we're the passholes. We also look back over the last year and talk about what we've learned, what our favorite episodes and segments have been, and what our plans are for the future. Thank you to everyone who has listened to us so far whether you've been with us since the beginning or this is your very first episode. We appreciate all of you, and keep hoppin!

After Hours Social - June 17, 2026

This is the audio from our June 17, 2026 After Hours Social Livestream. We do these about once a month on Facebook and YouTube. It’s a more open ended relaxed discussion and we answer your questions in real time! Make sure to check our socials so you’ll be able to hang out with us next time! This time we talk about Disney's recently announced transportation restrictions from Disney Springs and we are joined by a surprise guest to give his opinion on it all too. We also answer listener submitted questions ranging from must do rides to romantic dinner recommendations!

Carousel of Progress - A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow

We dive into the history and legacy of Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress, the upcoming overhaul that replaces every scene (and adds a Walt animatronic), and the tension between preserving Walt’s connection and modernizing the show. We also discuss our upcoming True Life Adventure when we'll be doing a one-day trip to Disney World to ride the new Smuggler's Run and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, say goodbye to the current version of Carousel of Progress, and eat at Spice Road Table. Let us know what else we should try to cram into our way too brief trip!
