The Jungle Cruise in Disneyland is one of those rides that you either love or hate - there's really not much of a middle ground there. And if you're like most of us, the "jokes" can sometimes get in the way of the actual ride. Today on the show, we talk with former Jungle Cruise Skipper and author of Skipper Stories: True Tales of Disneyland's Jungle Cruise, David Marley, who not only wrote about his time lurking about the jungles of Disneyland but he interviewed different Skippers across the va...

Walt Disney was a patriot, even before he was famous. As Disney fans, we love to dig around in Walt's background, looking for fun facts and cool stories behind the man, and this show is 100% that. Sure, we have heard some stories that Walt was in World War 1 driving an ambulance, but that's where most of the story ends. Today we dig deeper into his time during the war, and how it helped to shape his future. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Look, we are just going to say it: Garner Holt has done more for theme parks than just about anybody - we'd even put him right up there with Walt himself in that category. Many folks won't know his name, but we have all seen his work around various Disney Parks (and beyond!). Today we are lucky enough to chat with Garner about his animatronic empire, how he got started crafting his moving artwork, and going over some of his more famous works. After we calmed down, we talk a bit about the Walt Di...

Sometimes we tend to forget just how big The Walt Disney Company is, or how many working parts are involved. We just wake up in the morning and read about the latest Disney film, or ride, or venture and get on with our day. Ron Miller was one of those "working parts" that had a lasting and profound impact on The Walt Disney Company - and film history in general. Today, we dig into Ron's time with Disney and explore how he rose up the ranks, from delivering blueprints to running the company, and ...

Beyond the characters, theming, rides, and churros of the Disneyland Resort is a world of theater shows. The Disney, Jr. Dance Party, Frozen Live at the Hyperon, Mickey and the Magical Map, and more are waiting for you to slow down enough to remember they exist at all. On today's show, we try our hand at creating Disney's next theater show with a bit of creative thinking. What would we like to see in the Parks? Or, more accurately, what would we like to see replaced? And how many of us even reme...

There are certain facts that you have to face if you plan on visiting the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim: the parks will be crowded no matter what time of year you go, and it will cost way more money than you budgeted for. Once you come to terms with those two things, the stage is set for you to have a good time! Considering Disney loves raising the prices of their theme park admission, it's no wonder we are looking for any way to save a buck! On today's show, we gather some tips and tricks to sho...

It finally happened - Jason and Taren took their little kid to Disneyland for the first time! So on today's show, we talk about how that experience went for both Jason and Taren as well as for little Alice.

Today on the show, we talk to Brittany, who is a member of the Disney College Program, which is something we weren't all too familiar with. Then we get down to business: Jason was interviewed on a podcast called "Household Name", and is produced by Business Insider (so you'd assume it would be good). one of their recent shows was about Disney Social Clubs and Jason was asked to speak about how they fit in with the larger Disneyland environment. Well, as these sorts of things happen, he was taken...

Patents have been the linchpin for success in the Disney Empire since the days even before Disneyland itself was built. Most of the time, when we talk about Disney patents we are reading news about current, high-tech stuff that hasn't made its way to the consumer quite yet, but we don't really focus too much on the patents that helped to build Disney as a company. So when our friend Brian Schar of CrossPond Law reached out to us and had an idea for a show all about older Disney patents, we were ...

He goes into detail on the process of making huge structures like that big canyon wall in CarsLand, for example....
