    8:42 coolest thing ive ever been evacuated from was actually the safari at animal kingdom.
    one of the caravans ahead of us started leaking antifreeze, and for the safety of the animals it had to be cleaned up immediately, so they took us up a side road through the back lots of the safari.
    the cast member was an absolute GEM and he said “i still wanna give yall a cool ride, so ill do a little tour, sorry it’s not as fun” and did his best.
    he pointed out the “fake sun,” which was cool to see, and we also saw where they grow the plants and trees for the safari, the food they feed the animals, the stables for the veterinarians, etc.
    it turned into one of my favourite disney world experiences ever, and i’ll never forget that cast member doing what he can to make it more special.
    i saw the animal kingdom special on d+ after and was like “omg i’ve been there!” 😂
    a truly unique experience and i loved it

    Thank you for these Podcasts. I love the news videos as well as the comedy news shows. But this Podcast is more relaxed, less scripted, and feels like having a conversation with both of you and any guests. The topics have been great and can't wait to see what's to come. Maybe an episode on cruises, comparing the different ships and locations they sail to.

    I'd love to hear you guys go more into the deep cut live action films! I grew up with those more than the animated films, because my dad wanted to show my brother and I what he saw on Sunday nights. I think my favorites have to be the Scottish movies like Greyfriars Bobby and Three Lives of Thomasina and Rob Roy.
    I also keep waiting for Disney to realize that Condorman is just sitting there waiting for a remake, but I don't think that bird will fly anytime soon.

    The Legend of Mythica was the most creative and gorgeous show at DisneySea ever, and Bon Fire Dance and Mysterious Masquerade were also perfect fit for DisneySea.

Yes, I have this cute monster in photos from when I was a toddler. What ever happened to it? Did it evolve to become Gertie?

    I always thought it would be cool to have a retro-park, where old stuff could go to live- Horizons, Dream Flight, Mr. Toad (I know it's in DL, but I love it), Osbourne Lights...
    It wouldn't be "coherent" with rides and attractions, but I think it work and I think people will come, Ray. Well, maybe...

    Thanks for answering my question about the Paris E ticket. I understand what you mean about the parks being on top of each other but I think the rumoured lion king attraction would fit into Adventureland much better than studios. I also love the idea of a jungle book attraction as that film doesn’t get the respect it deserves in the parks, however my dream would be a lilo and stitch ride especially if the live action film is a hit.

    It’s mentioned pretty early on the the “Stark expo” idea but this is why really think Tron should be Epcot and Guardians should’ve been Magic kingdom. Now i get it’s largely a space thing (aha) but…
    I mean Tron (at least Tron classic! Before they went ‘cool lights ooooo’ generic sci fi with legacy) was about computer technology and companies. You really could do like an Encom booth/showcase type thing for the ride but then also maybe a literal expo both area sort of old style Epcot way? Like classic lightcycles to pose with and some cool fake tech advancements by the company true edutainment style.
    Where as guardians as fun and fantastic as it is, is just a IP coaster and could’ve been anywhere.

    It's interesting to hear Tom's views on Discovery Island and whether or not Disney will ever use it again. Personally, like Tom, I hope that Disney leave it alone and let nature reclaim it. To be honest i find it rather crazy and kinda cool that right in the middle of the vacation kingdom of the world, and with millions of people passing near to it every year, there sits a genuine lost world in Discovery Island. There could be dinosaurs on that thing now for all we know....
