Disney fans rejoice! On this episode, my friend Robert joins me to talk about his first visit to Hong Kong Disneyland. Like all Disney fans, we have preconceived notions of what our experiences will be when visiting a Disney park for the first time. Listen to hear how it lived up to Robert’s expectations as we discuss how to get to the resort, the later than expected opening time, how characters seem to be more popular than rides based on wait times, the shopping & food, why Hong Kong's Jungle Cruise is his favorite, the wow-factor of Mystic Manor, and what Robert thought of the park’s newest land, World of Frozen. Whether you’re thinking about visiting Hong Kong Disneyland yourself or simply living vicariously through Robert’s journey, enjoy our conversation all about Hong Kong Disneyland. ------ GIVEAWAYS, BONUSES AND SUPPORT: Gain early access to episodes, take part in Ask Me Anything live streams, and gain more bonuses by joining the DCTC Patreon.

Disney fans rejoice! On this episode I have my friend Jason joining me who recently attended the 21 Royal dining experience at Disneyland Park. This dining experience, in the former Disneyland Dream Suite above Pirates of the Caribbean, costs a group of up to twelve people $18,000 to dine. We get into the history of the space, the experience from top to bottom, and Jason answers a lot of questions for me about what it is that you get for $18k. If you’re someone who will never even contemplate visiting 21 Royal, live vicariously through Jason's experience. If you’ve even slightly considered dishing up the money for the experience, this episode should shed light on it all and perhaps even encourage you to take the leap.

Now that we’ve experienced all three days of D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, we can share our thoughts on what went right, what went wrong, and what went better or worse than we had anticipated.

Disney fans rejoice. On this episode, I’m chatting with Ed Comber from Next Stage Preservation. At Next Stage Preservation, they’re working to bring Marceline, Missouri’s Uptown Theatre back to life. Marceline, Missouri is the boyhood hometown of Walt Disney, and the Uptown Theatre is a cinema on Marceline’s Main Street where Walt and Roy premiered “The Great Locomotive Chase”. The Uptown Theatre has a long history, but sadly, in recent years it has fallen into disrepair. A lot of money and work will need to go into bringing it back to life, and Ed is working hard to make that a reality. He’s already had some success getting the Uptown Theatre on the National Register of Historic Places, which is no small feat. Listen as Ed and I discuss the theatres' history, the small town of Marceline, Missouri, and what Ed envisions for the reopening of the theatre during its 100th anniversary.

Disney fans rejoice! I recently came across an online streaming service called Thirdwing, where they produce original theatre you can stream at home. Thirdwing caught my attention when I found two of their plays, “Burbank: The Strike Against Walt Disney” and “The Fairest”, a play about the women in Disney’s Ink & Paint Department. In this episode, I chat with the writer and director of both plays, Cameron Darwin Bossert. In addition, he even performs the role of Walt Disney in one of them. While speaking with Cameron, I was particularly impressed with the amount of research he had done, even though a good portion of the story comes from his imagination. And you’ll never guess what inspired Cameron to write them.

Disney fans rejoice! Today on the show I’m chatting with Mike Van Eaton of Van Eaton Galleries. Van Eaton Galleries is a shop and auction house in Southern California specializing in animation and the entertainment industry, often focusing on Disney memorabilia. At a Van Eaton auction, you can often find the smallest Disney item, like a park ticket, all the way up to something as large as a ride vehicle or giant piece of park signage. One of the many cool things about Van Eaton Galleries is that these items are put on display for the public to see for free before they’re sold or auctioned off. Listen as Mike and I discuss some of the wild items that have come through his doors, the mindset of a collector, and how people get their hands on some of these remarkable items in the first place.

Disney fans rejoice! Listen as I chat with the co-author of “Disneyland on the Mountain: Walt, the Environmentalists, and the Ski Resort That Never Was”, Kathryn Mayer. Kathryn’s book shares a lot of information about Disney’s Mineral King Ski Resort. Mineral King Ski Resort was a dream project of Walt Disney’s taking place between the creations of Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Walt wanted to reinvent the way the public enjoyed a ski resort. Like so many other dreams of Walt’s, his visions were ahead of his time. This project never came to be due to many battles between The Walt Disney Company and environmentalists. But quite a few of the ideas, concepts and projects related to the ski resort ended up in other Disney projects.

Disney fans rejoice! Former Imagineer Chris Runco returns to discuss the Disney resort that was once being planned for Long Beach, California. The resort would have been called Port Disney, but it sadly never came to fruition. But why exactly did Disney even consider building a resort in Long Beach that would include a new theme park with a familiar name, multiple hotels, an aquarium and so much more? We’ll dive into that history. Plus, Chris will share details all about the development and brainstorming of this unrealized resort and where certain aspects were dusted off and used in other Disney resorts around the world. That and so much more in this episode. ------ GIVEAWAYS, BONUSES, SUPPORT, AND SAVE: Gain early access to episodes, take part in Ask Me Anything live streams, and gain more bonuses by joining the DCTC Patreon.

Disney fans rejoice! On this episode, I welcome back Disney Legend Floyd Norman. Floyd started working at Walt Disney Animation Studios back when Walt Disney was running the company, and Walt took notice of Floyd’s work himself. This episode focuses on Floyd's compilation book titled “How the Grouch Stole Disney”. This book, featuring Floyd’s sketches, pokes fun at the Michael Eisner years of The Walt Disney Company. Floyd continued the tradition of gag sketches throughout his years working for Disney. What he didn’t know was that many folks were saving his sketches. Luckily for us, we can find a bunch of them now in one handy little book. Listen as I chat with Floyd about the surprise creation of this book, why he has so much fun poking fun at Michael Eisner, what Michael thinks of the book, and so much more in this episode. ------ GIVEAWAYS, BONUSES, SUPPORT, AND SAVE: Gain early access to episodes, take part in Ask Me Anything live streams, and gain more bonuses by joining the DCTC Patreon.
