Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
Disney announced dates for this year’s Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. Plus a much needed update to Jack Skellington’s face.
If you could design a Disney resort what would it be like?
Would it be a Value or a Deluxe?
What would the theme be?
What park would you locate near?
Well on this week’s episode we’re playing Armchair Imagineer to design our perfect Disney Resort.
And unlike real Imagineers, budget is not a factor!
So join us as we build some of the best (at least we think so!) resorts Disney has to offer.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
This week Disney made a surprise announcement that they are building a 7th Disney Park. We discuss how this may impact the Company going forward and if this means Josh D’Amaro just became the frontrunner for CEO.
Being at a Disney park can be overwhelming.
There’s so many shows and attractions, it can leave even the most experienced planner with a serious case of FOMO.
But what if you got to experience your best day ever at the parks?
Would you rope drop or sleep in?
What are your must ride attractions?
Maybe you eat at your favorite restaurant?
Well on today’s show, we’re doing just that by planning our perfect day at Hollywood Studios.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
This week in Disney News, Tokyo Disneyland dropped some concept art that has us questioning the future of multiple opening day attractions.
In every heroes journey there comes a point where our hero must overcome insurmountable odds to claim victory.
In the case of this podcast those insurmountable odds are Joe trying to best Angela in a game of guess the attraction.
If you listened to Episode 337 a few months ago (and let’s be honest you did because you listen to them all) you know Angela made quick work of guessing the Disney World attractions.
So this week Joe is back with a vengeance with a whole new round of attractions, this time from Disneyland.
Can Angela prevail or will Joe finally have his victory? Tune in to find out.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
Disney held an inventory conference this week and we got some news on upcoming movies and maybe some new Figment content.
The 90s was a wild time for Disney parks.
Michael Eisner was in the midst of his Disney Decade expansion plans to add new parks and attractions all over the world. Plus Disney World was starting to become the vacation destination we know today.
But it wasn’t smooth sailing the entire time.
Euro Disney opened in the early part of the decade over budget and to underwhelming crowds.
The weak launch of the new parks put a major financial strain on the company that impacted a lot of Eisner’s grand plans.
Today we count down the top parks, attractions and lands whose cancellations can be tied back to the financial struggles of Euro Disney.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
Star Wars
Marvel
Pixar
Over the years, Disney has gained a reputation for box office dominance with their various movie studios. But not every movie is a winner.
This week, we go back to 2015 to look at one of the rare box office flops for Disney . . . Tomorrowland.
On paper, this movie should have been a home run. It had a great director in Brad Bird, an A list star in George Clooney and a story that tied into the history of Walt Disney and Disneyland.
And yet, despite all of the that, basically no one went to see it.
So what went wrong?
We watched (the surprisingly good)Tomorrowland to find out, so join us as we look back on one of Disney’s lesser known films

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
Daredevil Born Again dropped its first two episodes this week, and while we are excited to see where the story goes, we do hope Disney hasn’t taken away what made the Netflix series so great.
Plus Duffy is making his parade debut over at Disneyland this summer.
There’s so much to do at the Disney parks, there’s no way you can do it all in one day.
But what if you got to plan your perfect day?
In the start to a new series, we’re planning our perfect day at Magic Kingdom.
What rides do we rope drop?
Where’s are go to lunch spot?
Do we catch a parade or nighttime show or both?
After we reveal our perfect day, let us know what you would include in yours.
