Hyperion Adventures Podcast: The Disney Podcast Of Positivity

Hyperion Hamilton Extravaganza Way back in July of 2024, we promised we'd be celebrating a big anniversary year for our all-time favorite musical. Now, we're fulfilling that promise with our Hyperion Hamilton Extravaganza. We cap-off the #YearOfLin with a fun look at this amazing show that is getting set to celebrate 10 years on Broadway & 5 years on Disney+. And it wouldn't be an "extravaganza" without having some of our favorite guests join us for the show. So we were blessed to have Keenan & Rachael from Kingdom and Beyond Travel [https://kingdomandbeyond.com/] stop by to give us their unique perspective. But that's not all! We also have Frank & Jen from Theme Park Thursday with Dillo's Diz [https://www.dillosdiz.com/dillosdizhome] check in, as well, to share the New Yorker's view of this phenomenal piece of theater. We sit down together for an extended, in-depth and fun-filled look at Lin-Manuel Miranda's masterpiece. Disney Stories of the Week Once we complete our Hyperion Hamilton Extravaganza portion of the show, it's time for the Disney Stories of the Week. In this episode, we discuss the exciting, recently announce changes coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios and share why it has a personal meaning to us and this show.   Certainly, that's not all. As always, we wrap it all up with tips that might help you on your next Disney vacation.   If you have any comments, questions, or requests to cover a particular topic, please feel free to Contact Us [https://hyperionadventurespodcast.com/contact/]!   We also invite you to join the positive fun in our Hyperion Adventurers Facebook Group [https://www.facebook.com/groups/hyperionadventurers] as well as our Hyperion Mornings on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVEJYm4cUiIFlYpJ4I_u76Q] for a daily dose of live positive chat!   In case you're looking to take a magical trip, be sure to visit our favorite Authorized Disney Vacation Planner.

The Hamilton Recast - With Disney Characters We hope you've had a wonderful, safe & festive 4th of July Weekend. We celebrated, for the 5th year straight, by rewatching our favorite patriotic musical on Disney+. Of course, we're talking about Hamilton. While experiencing this phenomenal piece of art, we thought, what would it be like if some of our favorite characters were placed in the key roles of this show? And that led us to this week's main topic which we've titled The Hamilton Recast - With Disney Characters. With so many fantastic personalities both in this show and in Disney's catalog, there were a lot of ways we could go with this. Listen and see who we settled on to play the likes of the Schuyler Sisters, George Washington, Aaron Burr and, of course, Alexander Hamilton. See if you agree with our selections or if you have ideas for someone different in these roles. Disney Stories of the Week Once we complete The Hamilton Recast - With Disney Characters portion of the show, it's time for the Disney Stories of the Week. In this episode, we tell you when you may get the chance to get an early preview of Test Track 3.0. We also share who will be rocking the stage at this years EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. And we tell you about an upcoming tour for one of our favorite Disney Princesses; Tiana. You'll also get this week's Lin-Manuel Miranda tidbit as we continue our journey through "The Year of Lin"!
