Happy New Year, everyone! To usher in 2020, the EarzUp! team sat around and thought about the year that was - 2019. The good, the bad, the over-paid ... in the hopes that we can send last year off with all the pomp that it deserves. Plus, we had Jeremy on again, so that alone is reason enough to listen.

Photo courtesy of Disney Way back in the year 2013, on our very first show, we broke down our top fie things to hit and five to miss at the Disneyland Resort. A lot has changed since then, but have our recommendations? Today, under the premise of us having a friend who was going to the Parks for one day only and could never return, we give our top five rides and attractions to hit, and our top five to avoid at all costs. How have we changed since 2013? Find out! Learn more about your ad choices....
Photo courtesy of Disney There has been lots of controversy surrounding the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts this past week, and Jason and Jeremy are on-hand to break them down. Jeremy takes us through the news of a family that got a special surprise during their stay at the Carribean Beach Resort in WDW, and the only Disney Park to have a low attendance. Jason talks about the latest Fuel Rod controversy, and a former Disney employee with some crazy accusations against his co-workers. Learn more ab...
Halloween is the time for candy, costumes, and spooky stories! Since Disney isn't really known for their scary tales, we thought we'd write some of our own. Join us as your mortal hosts attempt to frighten you into the Halloween Season with four original tales that are sure to convince you that none of us ever took a creative writing class!

Jeremy and Jason are back, digging into more Disney news! Jason somehow just discovered that people still care about Columbus Day (and even get it off!), and that Disneyland gets packed during this time. Who knew? Finally we get into some of the more recent news in the Disney world, like how the new Maleficent movie isn't performing well, and Oga's Cantina in Star Wars Land is now accepting reservations 60 days out from your visit, which is crazy! There's more, so tune in and get informed! Learn...
As often as we hear the origin story of Disneyland repeated, rarely do we hear just how the Anaheim site was chosen. Could it have been something to do with the new "freeway"? Or perhaps something else? Taren started this show as a dive into the history of the Anaheim Halloween parade, but maybe she uncovered something else ... Plus - Jeremy from SpectroRadio joins us to give his impressions on the finale of the Illuminations show in Epcot, and if it's replacement lives up to the grandeur! Learn...
We're back for another set of Disney news stories! Jeremy starts off talking a bit about his recent trip to Disneyland Paris, and the dives in to the news. Over at Walt Disney World, they are cutting some live performers from the Parks, and a missing park visitor was found on a "trip" of their own. Jason tells us about how Bob Iger recently admitted he was interested in Disney purchasing Twitter, but he had second thoughts due to the users of the platform. Then we talked about Disney trying to r...
If you're anything like us, you probably thought there wasn't much to the history of the Disneyland Hotel. Turns out, a lot has happened since 1955 when the original hotel opened, like DCA for example! Today on the show, Beverly takes us through the history of the Disneyland Hotel, we take on some Disney News, and Terrence has a gift for Jason! Learn more about your ad choices.

Scoring a major motion picture like "The Lion King" has got to be a hard job, but it seems like the music of "The Lion King" had more riding on a great soundtrack than, say, "Mary Poppins" . Not only do you need to portray the emotions that ebb and flow during the plot, but you need to accurately portray the films surroundings, culture, and Disney magic. The Lion King does just that, and who better to tell us all about it than Jeremy from SpectroRadio! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit meg...

Disney doesn't have the greatest track record when it comes to sequels. Anyone remember Pocahontas II? Exactly. So today we are creating our own sequels! Jason, Taren, and Terrence each have one sequel prepared to pitch, and the movies they are talking about might just surprise you. We also do some Disney News, which doesn't surprise anyone.

We're back, with four news stories and tons of opinions! Jeremy discusses a lawsuit against Shanghai Disney over food, and a new ticket option to Walt Disney World that might be related to the lower park attendance we keep hearing so much about. Jason talks about a 34-year-old free ticket to Disneyland and, oddly enough, another ticket option to Walt Disney World's Halloween Party. Learn more about your ad choices.

Disneyland has been known to shuffle attractions around between it's parks. Just ask the Main Street Electrical Parade! Today's show is about what fills a void when something leaves the Park. "America Sings" was a show that replaced the "Carousel of Progress" after it's move to Walt Disney World. Terrence takes us through the history of America Sings, from its inception, to it's removal, and beyond. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Coming off a slow news week, Jeremy and Jason somehow persevere, overcoming all the odds, to bring you four stories that are sure to supercharge your next Disney conversation! Or something like that.

Jason talks about the "really cool" things that Annual Passholders are getting now, and the new Universal Studios theme park that was just announced for Florida. Learn more...
"Nightfall Glow" is a special parade - one that you might never get to see, even if you travel to the Tokyo Disney Resort, because it's a parade specifically for those rainy Tokyo nights. Yep, there is a parade that only runs when it rains out. Crazy! Of course, Jeremy leads us through this very short parade, and then he stays on to do some Disney News with us. The "Us" is only Taren and Jason, as both Bev and Terrence are off doing Bev and Terrence things. Learn more about your ad choices. Visi...
On this week's episode of EarzUp! In-Depth, Jeremy and Jason cover four stories in the Disney atmosphere.

Rolly Crump is one of a handful of Imagineers that has impacted some of Disney's most iconic and enduring attractions - from the Haunted Mansion to the Enchanted Tiki Room to Small World in Disneyland, to Mr. Toad, The Land, and more in Walt Disney World. His work still brings joy to millions of people all over the world, and we are very honored to be able to chat with him on this show. Rolly was joined by his wife Marie, who helped with the interview, since Rolly had a little problem hearing us...

It was a weird week in Disney news, which led to a weird show. We hope you like it! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Food in Disneyland is a no-brainer. It seems to have had an important place in the Parks for many years now, and not just in the Instagram-centric world of the past few years. Today we take a look at the long relationship Walt Disney had with his own food likes and dislikes (mostly the latter), and see how those affected certain aspects of Disneyland. Plus we talk about all the Disney rumor site drama, and we witness the triumphant return of not only Jeremy from SpectroRadio, but our very own Ta...
On this week's episode, Jeremy and Jason chat about a couple of timely news stories from both Disney coasts. From Jeremy we hear about more price increases and how the new Philharmagic install in Disneyland compares to the original, and Jason chimes in with the new store in the Main Street Cinema that popped up and was quickly destroyed online and then removed by the park, as well as digging into that old myth behind the "Disneyland Test Wall" on Main Street. Thanks to Patrick at Stuff From The ...
The Black spire Outpost, on the remote planet of Batuu, has had quite a bit of exposure since it was open to the public, and this show will be no exception. Yes, it's time for our rundown of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge! Beyond the tips we gave on the last show to hopefully help you with your reservation time, this show is everything we encountered and what we thought of it all. We also have some Disney News, and Jason speculates on the recent Marvel Land gossip, and how there won't be an actual "mi...
Welcome to the very first episode of EarzUp! In-Depth, a Disney news show with Jeremy and Jason! On this show, Jeremy and Jason each choose two or three new stories and discuss them at length. It's a way for us to bring you deeper takes on some more current news - too often when our regular show is posted, the really good stories are old news. With EarzUp! In-Depth, we can finally bridge that gap between current events and our weird opinions. These shows will be recorded twice a month, and relea...
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is officially open! Since some of us (Jason and Taren) were lucky enough to grab a reservation to explore the new outpost on Batuu last weekend, we decided to record a very short show for those of you who may be lucky enough to grab your own reservation. It's not a full recap or review - that will be coming on our next regular show - but we hoped that because we were able to be there on opening day, our experiences could help others who might be as blown away and lost in...
With the recent opening of the Tropical Hideaway in Disneyland, we felt it was time to revisit one of the most talked-about attractions (possibly) in the park - the Tahitian Terrace! Jason decided to take a look at the history of the Tahitian Terrace - what it was before the dinner show was added and what it is today ... The Tropical Hideaway, which is a great spot for food, according to our food correspondant Heather. Plus some Disney news and the return of the Main Street Windows from Bev! Lea...
We are pleased to welcome Kirsten Komoroske, Executive Director of one of our favorite places, the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Fransisco!
