Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
The Reflections DVC resort might not be dead after all, it’s just getting a new name. Plus the Disney Treasure had its official christening and we were hyped for the accompanying drone show.
This week, we are delighted to be joined once again by Bob Weis, former President of Walt Disney Imagineering, to discuss his newest book, Ghost Dog.
The story combines Bob’s love of the Haunted Mansion and everyone’s love of dogs to answer the question, what if a ghost (dog) really did follow you home?
Plus, since we don’t know the next time we’ll have the chance to talk to an Imagineer, we ask some of our more obscure ride questions and Angela pitches her Escape from Elephant Graveyard attraction idea.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
Disney finally announced where the new Monsters Inc. land will be going in Hollywood Studios and it’s going to be taking over Muppets Courtyard. But the Muppets will still have a presence in the park with a redo of Rockin Roller Coaster. We discuss some of the longer term impacts of these moves.
Should you stay on property or off property for your next Disney World Vacation?
That’s the question we aim to answer today and it’s a lot more complicated than you might think.
Sure there are a lot of benefits from staying on Disney property, but those benefits have changed throughout the years and the amount of money you could save from staying off property may make it worth it.
So before you book your next trip to Disney World, tune in and see if staying off property might be right for you.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
Disney Cruise Line announce that their newest ship, the Disney Adventure, will have not one, not two, but three attractions including their first ever roller coaster at sea. And if we weren’t excited before, we are now.
It’s hard to believe that it’s been 5 years since the launch of Disney+.
Back then, it was seen as a great value in the world of streaming with access to the entire Disney vault for the low price of $6.99/month.
And while it launched to great fanfare (and the debut of the Mandalorian) it’s been a bit of a roller coaster ride since.
So this week we take a look back at the history of Disney+ and the shifting strategies Disney has taken to try and make it profitable.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
Just as you can count on the leaves changing for Fall, you can count on Disney World to raise ticket prices. This week Disney World announced price increases for all levels of their annual pass.
But hey, at least they also announced Satu’li Canteen is going to start service breakfast. So we guess it isn’t all bad.
We’d all love to spend the whole day in the parks, but what if your time was limited?
Maybe you only have a few hours.
Well you’re in luck, because on today’s show we’re walking through our perfect day at each Disney World park if we only had 4 hours.
What are the must ride attractions? The shows we would prioritize? The food we would eat?
Plus, if you are feeling adventurous and want to try the 4 park challenge we offer our tips and tricks for making the most of the experience.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
We finally have a date for when parts of Dinoland will start closing for its conversion to Tropical Americas. Plus Big Thunder Mountain at Magic Kingdom is getting a year long overhaul and Brooks announced a major partnership with RunDisney.
Seeing as it’s Halloween this week, we are discussing the history of the holiday in the parks.
Plus, what sounded like a good idea at the time, we show up in costume.
While Halloween is big business at Disney now, it wasn’t always that way. In fact, most of what you know and love about Halloween time in the parks came around within the past 20 years.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
This week Disney announced a major addition to the Lighting Lane family with the Lighting Lane Premier Pass.
The Premier Pass will be available at Disney World and Disneyland in the next few weeks and allows you one ride on each Lighting Lane attraction a day.
But it also comes with a hefty price tag.
So this week, we cover the ins and outs of the new Premier Pass, which turns out it actually might not be that expensive by theme park standards.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
Disney announced more details on the Story Living Community in California and it seems like they are making a play to capitalize on the aging Disney adult population.
Plus, Walt Disney World announced its lineup for this year’s Jollywood Nights.
We’ve officially entered Spooky Season and to celebrate we’re joined by our friends Jennifer and Keifer to discuss their recent trip to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party and Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights.
Even though the weather didn’t fully cooperate, they still were able to check almost everything off of their to-do list.
Jennifer and Keifer come with all of the deets on the candy, shows and parades at MNSSHP. Then we head up the street to HHN, where they were absolutely blown away by the entertainment and quality of the houses and scare zones.
Everything sounded like so much fun, that now we’re even sadder we won’t be visiting Florida this Halloween season. But there’s always next year!

Unfortunately, this isn’t as straightforward an answer as it was even 5-6 years ago. So this week we give you all the tools you need to make the best choice for your next trips.
In order to do so, we review the best times of year for both coasts based on:
-weather

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
This week, Disney announced of the closure of a beloved Hollywood Studios attraction . . .Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy. The show will be closing to make way for a new Villains show debuting next year.
Who knew a theme park about Hollywood would have so much DRAMA?
Disney-MGM Studios (now Hollywood Studios) opened back in 1989 as the 3rd park at Walt Disney World, but unlike its predecessors, its history is filled with lawsuits and corporate disputes.
Plus its mere existence may have single handily started the Theme Parks Wars with Universal Studios.
So join us as we look back at what guests experienced on the park’s opening day and how drastically it’s changed since then.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
Disney released our first look at the interior garden on the Disney Adventure and it looks beautiful. Plus as the opening date for the new DVC Tower at the Poly, we got some more details on the theme.
If you haven’t seen Deadpool & Wolverine, first of all what are you waiting for?, but also you may want to skip this episode because we do get into some slight spoilers.
But our main goal is to answer the question - did Deadpool save the MCU?
From dominating the box office to seemingly showing up everywhere (looking at you D23 Parks panel) Deadpool seems to have completely changed everyone’s opinion of the MCU.
But will it last?

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
Coming off of the high of D23’s major park announcements, Disney dropped the bad news - Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America are going away to make room for Cars land in the Magic Kingdom.
In our main segment we shed some light on Disney’s Accelerator Program.
It’s a little known part of the Disney company that invests in and mentors start up tech companies. You probably haven’t heard of the program before now, but you’ve most likely heard of some of the previous members - most notably Fortnite creator Epic Games.
We give a brief history on the program and discuss what we can learn about the future of Disney be looking at the companies currently enrolled in the program.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
Disney held the D23 Expo this past weekend and boy did they deliver in terms of announcements for the parks.
Parks Chairman Josh D’Amaro declared that nothing would be blue sky (which may have been a little bit of a stretch) and then announced a dozen new attractions at Disney parks throughout the world.
While we’re excited for the new lands (looking at you Lion King) there still is plenty of details we don’t know.
So join us as we recap D23 with a mix of excitement, bewilderment and cautious optimism.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
D23 is around the corner and Disney is already starting to drop some big announcements. This week, we got our first week at the newest Disney Cruise Line ship, the Destiny.
And over at the parks, Deadpool has made an appearance at Disneyland in a BIG way.
One of the biggest questions anyone planning a Disney trip has is “how many days should I go for?”
So this week we decided to help you answer that question that by planning trips of varying lengths.
We’ve gone to Disney World for anywhere from two day weekend trips to an entire week and each length has its own set of pros and cons.
From deciding where to stay to how many dining reservations is too many, we give you the low down on planning the perfect trip of any length.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
With Deadpool and Wolverine premiering this week, Marvel’s fortunes may just be about to turn. Add to that the rumors that the Russo Brothers are in talks to direct the next two Avengers movies makes us more excited than ever to see what Marvel will announce at Comic Con and D23 in a few weeks
EPCOT officially opened on October 1, 1982, but what was the park like in those early days?
What countries surrounded World Showcase? What attractions were there for guests to enjoy?
This week we take a look back at the early days of Disney World’s second park, from Walt’s original idea to the version Disney ended up building that helped start Orlando on the path to becoming the vacation destination it is today.
