about

Len Testa & Jim Hill start off their November 2018 tour of Disney’s Hollywood Studios by checking out all of the holiday decorations along Hollywood & Sunset Boulevards. They also discuss WDW Entertainment’s plan to replace “Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage!” with a new “Tangled” -themed show out ahead of the Resort’s 50th anniversary celebration in 2021.

lyrics

Over the course of this episode, listeners will learn about:
How the Imagineers used structures like Sid Cahuenga’s One-of-a-Kind Antiques & Curios and Oscar’s Super Service to give Disney’s Hollywood Studios a grounding in late 1930s / early 1940s Southern Californian reality

How the 1940s-style holiday decorations used in the front part of DHS reinforce the Guests perception of which precise time period the Hollywood Boulevard & Echo Lake portions of this theme park are supposedly set in


How Hollywood Boulevard – in spite of its golden-age-of-Hollywood period specific design & stylings – is still a loose enough construction that it easily accommodates an appearance by Captain Phasma & a squad of stormtroopers


How WDI is debating about whether they should remove Aerosmith from Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and go instead with either a “Monsters, Inc.” or an “Incredibles” -themed redo of this thrill ride


What other changes the Company is considering making to DHS in order to improve over-all Guest flow at this theme park
