Disney fans rejoice! As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, the night of November 20th, 2022 brought us some shocking Disney news. We learned that former Disney CEO Bob Iger, who handed the CEO reigns to Bob Chapek in February 2020 just before the country shut down due to the pandemic, had been reinvited and reinstated as CEO of The Walt Disney Company. Bob Chapek has been an unpopular CEO for Disney fans ever since the beginning. Prior to his CEO role, he was in charge of the Disney Parks and many fans felt he was doing a poor job in that position. But the man was making money for the company, and therefore Disney’s Board of Directors had confidence in Bob Chapek. But the last quarter for The Walt Disney Company was a bad one finding monetary losses in various departments. When monetary losses are seen by The Board, then some attention is finally paid. So, Bob Chapek was kicked to the curb and Bob Iger is back with a difficult job ahead of him. Iger needs to bring back the profits and do some serious damage contro

Disney fans rejoice! It’s the return of our PrimeTime at the Parks segment. A while back I started this segment to discuss television shows that shot episodes inside of a Disney theme park.

I brought my pal (and "Home Economics" super-fan) Dean on the show to discuss. So, how realistic is this depiction of a family at Disneyland? Does the entire episode feel like one big commercial?

Disney fans rejoice! On this episode, I’ll be chatting with Garner Holt from Garner Holt Productions. Most likely you’ve seen old episodes of the Disneyland television series where Walt Disney and his Imagineers were building the first ever Audio-Animatronic figures like the Enchanted Tiki Room birds, President Lincoln, pirates, and many more. And that’s how it used to work. Nobody was building animatronics at that time, so The Walt Disney Company and the folks at WED Enterprises had to do it for themselves. A lot of people still believe the animatronic figures we see in new attractions are being made at Walt Disney Imagineering. But that’s rarely the case these days. Enter Garner Holt, who has been creating the greatest animatronics in the world since 1977, and has been building them for Disney for several decades. Whether it's small animated figures on parade floats, a giant Maleficent dragon, or anything in between, there’s a good chance that Garner Holt Productions had their hands in the project. Listen a

Disney fans rejoice! Listen as I chat with Tania Norris who worked with WED Enterprises (now Walt Disney Imagineering) back in 1964. This means that she worked right alongside Walt Disney. Tania is most famously known as the designer of the iconic purple wallpaper in the Haunted Mansion, but she was originally hired to help with the design and decorating of New Orleans Square, followed by Club 33. As part of her job, she found herself on an epic research trip that took her from the real New Orleans, to some swamp land in Florida long before it was Walt Disney World, and the New York World’s Fair. Plus, Tania quite literally had a hand in one of my personal favorite attractions, Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress. That and so much more on this episode.
