Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
The Reflections DVC resort might not be dead after all, it’s just getting a new name. Plus the Disney Treasure had its official christening and we were hyped for the accompanying drone show.
This week, we are delighted to be joined once again by Bob Weis, former President of Walt Disney Imagineering, to discuss his newest book, Ghost Dog.
The story combines Bob’s love of the Haunted Mansion and everyone’s love of dogs to answer the question, what if a ghost (dog) really did follow you home?
Plus, since we don’t know the next time we’ll have the chance to talk to an Imagineer, we ask some of our more obscure ride questions and Angela pitches her Escape from Elephant Graveyard attraction idea.
Submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode.
