Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News!
Disney released their platinum 100th anniversary merch.
Over at Trader Sam’s at the Polynesian, they’ve released a limited-edition José mug that seems guaranteed to set off a Figment popcorn bucket-like fervor.
Lastly, the new restaurant over at Hollywood Studios, Rodeo Roundup BBQ, will open in a spring of 2023.
In this last episode of the year, we do our year-end review of 2022.
What are the best things to happen this year?

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News!
Genie+ is seeing some changes. Now you can modify your ride selections and times if you want instead of being boxed in to your initial selections.
Also, Disneyland After Dark is back. Sweethearts Night and Princess Night will be running on select dates from 9pm until 1 am. The various activities sound so fun, especially the balls they’ll be hosting!
This week we hop from park to park and select which rides are a must, should, and skip.
Of course, our picks are highly personal, and we (comically) don’t even agree with each other. But hey, our differences are what make us unique and don’t at all ever cause arguments. Lol

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
This week we have not ONE but TWO episodes devoted entirely to our recent voyage on the Galactic Starcruiser.
On this very spoiler-filled episode we dive into each of our experiences on the ship. From some incredible interactions with Lt. Croy to aiding in a heist that could help an entire planet.
If you don’t want to know anything about the specific storylines then skip this episode. Our 101 Guide that we released early in the week is for you.

Good journey!
Over Thanksgiving break, we had the pleasure of going to the Galactic Starcruiser Hotel in Disney World.

On this episode, we discuss the backstory of the Halcyon and its characters. We share some insights about how to best enjoy the Starcruiser. Then we answer some general questions about the ship and our experience.
Finally, we end by answering the all-important question: Was it worth it?

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week it’s all news.
We’re not going to beat around the bush. Chapek is out as CEO. Iger is back in. What does this mean for the company!?
According to some reports, in last earnings call streaming lost more than anticipated and the parks didn’t make as much as expected, but Chapek didn’t act like there was much wrong. Is that what triggered the end?
We also talk about Iger’s rereorganization of the company, how we think the change will impact the psyche of Pixar, and the impact on the 100th and movies in general.
Lastly, Iger won’t be back forever, so who will be his new pick as his replacement? We speculate about the choices.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Before we jump into the main topic, it’s time for a little Disney News!
Disney announced their quarterly earnings report. It was interesting that the parks made record earnings and the Direct to Consumers division, which includes streaming, lost money. What’s their end game?
Disney announced what’s going on with the Disneyland Treehouse. It’s a reimagining of Walt’s original vision of the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse.
Wakanda Forever was #1 at the box office making $180 million.
After going to see Black Panther this weekend, we started to consider the best franchises in all of Marvel. So this week, we pick the top three and bottom three of the franchises (not including Avengers).
So who will reign supreme: T’Challa, Thor, Ironman, Dr. Strange, Spider-Man, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America, or Ant Man?

As an added perk for Disney+ subscribers, they got early access to new merch this week. A lot of it sold out fast before it could be released to the general public!
The parks have switched over to their holiday offerings. The gingerbread houses are back at some of the hotels! Over in Disney World, the Grand Floridian Contemporary, and Jambo House at Animal Kingdom Lodge, and at Disneyland the Grand Californian all have displays. And you can see even more inside the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland.
This week, we did a music-themed “You Can only keep one” episode where we had to make some hard choices between 3 key songs from some of our favorite Disney animated movies: The Lion King, Encanto, Tarzan, Moana, and the Frozen movies. So what gets to stay, “Hakuna Matata,” “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” or “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?”?

Disney increased their ticket prices roughly 8%. Genie+ prices are going up as well.
And finally, FINALLY we have an opening date for Fantasmic, and it’s not that far away! November 3 one of the best shows in Disney World will be coming back!!!
We've talked about why we're so enchanted by the Magic Kingdom.
We’ve reveled in the majesty of Animal Kingdom.
We've salivated over EPCOT.
Now it's finally time we showcased Hollywood Studios.
But why do we love Hollywood Studios? Is it because it's the only park that's undergone a name change? Because it has an old-timey, ritzy feel to it? Because it houses the most diverse selection of rides? Because of the shows? Or is it because of all of this and more?! Listen in to find out!
