by The Jim Hill Media Podcast Network

about

In this Bandcamp exclusive show, Len Testa talks about his recent experiences dining at the new Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill at Disney Springs as well as Boatwright’s Dining Hall at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside. Jim Hill then discusses how Walt Disney’s decision to delay the start of the construction on the original Tomorrowland ‘til January of 1955 (just six months before Disneyland officially opened to the public) impacted this part of that theme park.

lyrics

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

Len Testa’s personal philosophy when it comes to the proper way to review a brand-new restaurant at the Walt Disney World Resort

Why you really have to grade on a curve when it comes to how a restaurant handles a large party and every member of your group isn’t ready to be seated at the exact same time

What’s significant about where Walt opted to have the Snow White Grotto & Wishing Well built at Disneyland Park

How – if the Imagineer’s original plans for Disneyland’s “Jungle Cruise” had panned out – that Adventureland attraction would have had a very different finale

The role that the box office success of the original “Mary Poppins” played in the 1966 / 1967 redo of Disneyland’s Tomorrowland
