Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Since we’re recording this in advance, we don’t have any news for you today, so let’s jump right into our main topic.
The Magic Kingdom is truly an enchanting place. It’s the most iconic park, and for good reason.
Where else can you “drink in” (thank you Jeff Goldblum for that lovely turn of phrase) the amazing atmosphere of Main Street, take a few more steps and be at the foot of a castle, and visit three famous mountains!?
This amazing place definitely has a way of Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Booing itself right into your heart, making you want to come back again and again!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
This week in Disney News, concept art and some preliminary plot details for Pixar’s newest movie Elemental were released on their social media.
In the parks, there have been a lot of little announcements. Disney will not be allowing people to prepurchase Genie+ after June 8. Also, on June 8th, ticket packages for 2023 will be going on sale. In addition to that, early park entry will continue through 2023.
Lastly, Variety published an article that a Daredevil series in the works!!!
Since the new Chip N’ Dale Rescue Rangers movie came out on Disney+ this past weekend, we figured we’d talk all about our second favorite rodent duo (after Mickey and Minnie, of course).
Chip n’ Dale have had an interesting ride from being antagonizing side characters to Pluto and Donald Duck in the 1940s all the way to headlining their own TV series in the late 80s. They’ve stayed mostly the same, but have also had some interesting facelifts (or CGI surgeries) along the way. Tune in to find out more about these two mischievous brothers/friends.
