about

Len Testa & Jim Hill start off this episode with a run-down of the past week’s news, including Universal Orlando’s announcement of their Epic Universe project. Jim then shines a spotlight on Walt Disney Productions’ second attempt to build a ski resort up in Northern California

lyrics

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

 The challenges that Beatrix (i.e., “your neighborhood restaurant, coffeehouse, and grab-and-market”) will face once it opens for business on the West Side of Disney Springs

 How Bob Iger himself admitted that Disney Parks & Resorts may have mismanaged its messaging when it came to the opening of the Anaheim version of “Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge”

 What’s different (from a classic theme park design point-of-view) about the project that Universal Parks & Resorts is building right across the way from the Orange County Convention
Center

 How WDW’s Star Wars hotel is going to use cutting-edge technology to create an out-of-this-world storytelling experience for resort Guests

 Why Michael Eisner – when he wanted to revive the idea of Disney owning & operating its own ski area – asked the Imagineers to scout out locations up in New England, rather than out on the
West Coast
