about

Len Testa & Jim Hill start off this week’s show by talking about the “Disney Very Merry After Hours Special Event” at WDW’s Magic Kingdom. They also look back at October 31, 1994, and KIIS 102.7 FM’s infamous promotional event at Disneyland Park

lyrics

Over the course of this episode, listeners will learn about:

How short-lived was Disney’s “book-a-VIP-tour-and-you-can-get-on-‘Rise-of-the-Resistance’-without-having-a-boarding-group” offer

What do recent surveys suggest about ways the Walt Disney World Resort may soon be changing about character meet-n-greets at the Company’s Florida theme par

Why did WDI deliberately avoid developing attractions based on “The Great Mouse Detective” & “Oliver and Company” in the late 1980s

What Touchstone Pictures release did then-Disney CEO Michael Eisner insist that the Imagineers find a way to hype / celebrate in the Company’s theme parks

Is the ongoing drought in Southern California forcing the horticultural department at the Disneyland Resort to rethink the types of flowers & trees it plants in Anaheim
