about

Len Testa & Jim Hill start off this week’s show by discussing the significance of WDW’s decision to shutter the Polynesian Village Resort until the Spring of 2021. They then check out a selection of 50-year-old slides that a Disney Dish listener was kind enough to share with the show

If you'd like to see those images of 1960s Disneyland that Len & Jim are discussing on this week's Disney Dish, please follow this link:

lyrics

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

 Why The Walt Disney Company has had a tougher time with the Lucasfilm acquisition than it did with the Marvel & Pixar purchases

 How does the survey team at the Universal Orlando Resort describe Disney’s Haunted Mansion

 Which quick service location at Disneyland Park predated WDW’s Be Our Guest’s restaurant-as- attraction concept by more than 50 years

 What did Disney Legend Marc Davis insist was the key flaw in the design of DL’s “Mine Train Through Nature’s Wonderland”

 Why was Walt a fan of construction fences that only came up to the Guests’ waists
