about

Len Testa & Jim Hill start off this week’s show by talking about how Leslie Iwerks' “Imagineering” documentary series on Disney+ is a must-see for theme park fans. They then discuss why the construction of Hyperion Wharf (i.e., the Downtown Disney renewal project that was originally supposed to replace Pleasure Island) never went forward.

Why Disney’s Hollywood Studios is hoping that the upcoming opening of “Rise of the Resistance” will then translate into a rise in sales at PizzeRizzo

How WDW officials are hoping the April 2020 opening of that resort’s new Cirque du Soleil will improve foot traffic on Disney Springs’ West Side
