This week we talk about hotdogs and dancing bananas, shows for your DoorDash drivers, getting your LEGO build wrong, we finally know the name of the new Cars area coming to Frontierland at Magic Kingdom and we finally have more information on the Disneyland Forward gateway initiative and the Avatar and Coco areas coming to California Adventure but it’s coming at the cost of a beloved attraction.
In this episode, we talk about Costco taking away the magic while we’re away, great AI art of Disney Characters, Disneyland Paris puts on another amazing show, tiki mugs, a movie about a Mexican train starts filming, the Haunted Mansion reimagining is underway and an Imagineer shares a distinct honor with Walt Disney.
We’re celebrating 500 episodes by bringing back one of our favorite segments, Armchair Imagineering, and presenting our ideas for Avengers Campus at California Adventure!
This week we’re excited to welcome Marco Palos to the show! Marco is the co-founder of Phat Cat Swinger, “Hollywood’s Little-Big Band” which you may have heard play at Disneyland or Disney California Adventure. Marco talks about the origins of his love for music and what inspires the songs he writes. He also tells us how social distancing played a role in giving himself permission to go beyond his comfort zone to explore different facets of his love of music and how he’s pivoted that into an upcoming solo album release.
In this episode we talk about what we might expect crowd levels will be for the opening of Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland plus Mel talks about the Hollywood Pictures Backlot area of California Adventure (now known as Hollywoodland).
