Enchanted Ears - Anything & Everything Disney

History of Space Mountain

This week in Disney News, Disneyland announces its plan to reopen on July 17 with the hotels opening on July 23. 

 

Also, MLS will begin playing their games at the ESPN Wide World of Sports in Disney World early July through the beginning of August. This will be followed shortly after by the NBA who will play from the end of July until mid-October.

 

Lastly, Artemis Fowl released on Disney+ at the end of last week.

 

This week, we talk about Space Mountain. We go over a brief history, it's spread into the other other Disney Parks, and how it varies from park to park. Then we get into the nitty gritty and compare the original 2 Space Mountains.

 

We finish by declaring our undying love to the best Space Mountain of all.

Disney Decade: The 1970s

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. 

 

This week in Disney News, Disney's Head of Streaming leaves for a social media giant and other management shuffles around.

 

Also, there's a rumor circulating that an animated Kingdom Hearts series is being developed for Disney+. We're definitely interested to see what happens and will tune in if this is real!

 

This week we discuss the tumultuous 1970s. After the death of Walt in 1966, the company suffers yet another devastating loss when Roy passes. The company struggles to find its direction, but still manages to produce some really awesome movies and have some other great successes.

 

Thank you so much for listening. We hope you have a magical week!

Disney World Reopening Plan

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we talk anything and everything Disney.

 

This week is all news as we discuss the reopening of Disney World after its closure from Covid-19. We address all of the pertinent questions like what dates will the parks reopen? Will there be parades? Fireworks? Can I book a new trip? What about my existing trip? And much much more. 

 

Another main point of this episode is to discuss any upcoming Disney trip you may already have planned. In fact, to be honest, we'd have to say that this episode then turns into a pseudo Is it worth it? It's definitely worth hanging around until the end as we discuss what we're doing (or not doing) about our current trip we have planned for August.

 

One final note: remember that as we all start going back out into the world that it's important to actually see each other. We've all developed a new appreciation for fast food workers, grocery store workers, nurses, etc in the midst of this pandemic. It's not over, but we're hopefully moving toward normal. Still, let's take what we learned during this time and remember that everyone's human and dealing with similar issues. Treating each other with love and respect would certainly be magical.  

 

And if you're an essential worker, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

 

There's a lot going on right now and information is still being released at a steady rate, so we'll do our best to answer any questions you may have in future episodes.

Disney Fairytale Weddings

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.

This week we’re getting married. Okay, we’re not. That ship sailed a while ago. We mean Disney weddings!

With the release of Disney’s Fairytale Weddings on Disney+, it got us thinking a few things:

1. It’s soooo ballin’ to get married in Disney!

2. Could Rafiki officiate my wedding!?

3. What on earth do these things cost?

Okay, mostly the last one. And dang...you’re going to be blown away by these prices! Let’s just say you better have a fairy godmother to bibbidi-bobbidi-boo you some serious caaash.

And, of course, one thing leads to another and suddenly we’re planning a Star War’s fan’s biggest dream wedding in from of the Millennium Falcon complete with emo guest Kylo Ren and Stormtroopers doing the robot.

Thank you so much for joining us week after week! You’re amazing!

Shanghai Disney Reopening - What This Means for the US Parks

Hello and welcome to another delightful episode of Enchanted Ears, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.

This week, we sort of flip the script a little and jump right into what’s on a lot of people’s minds right now: when are the parks going to reopen. Shanghai reopens today, so we discuss the measures being taken to protect park goers. Then we speculate how other parks will follow suit if all goes well.

In News, you know it’s been a few years without a Pirates of the Caribbean movie, so we need to talk reboots. This time around, it seems they’re looking to press the restart button and revitalize the cast with a female lead (possibly played by Nebula actress Karen Gillan).

With the rock-solid lineup of writers and producers, this Pirates fan (who pretends the last movie never happened) is optimistic for a fresh revival.

Thanks as always for tuning in you magical beast, you! Have a great week!

The Aristocats

Hello! Welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney!

This week in Disney News, Disney’s announced they’ll be remaking their 1997 animated classic, Hercules. Dispute our mixed feelings over the remakes, we’re actually really excited to see how they update this one!

This week, we talk about a group of 50-year-old cats...okay, you caught me. That was a bit salacious. What I meant to say is that this week we talk about the 1970 classic Aristocats, which turns 50 this year.

Despite some shortcomings, Aristocats is a wealth of Disney history and interesting fun facts. Who would’ve guessed it’s loosely based on a true story? Did you know O’Malley was originally supposed to be a tabby cat? Learn about this and more! (This feels a little infomercially...but wait, there’s more! 🤣)

When you finish listening, head on over to our YouTube channel to check out our content there. We do informational videos, but we also play games and share experiences with lots of visuals. When we hit 100 subscribers, we’re going to hold a competition for a prize, so be sure to throw your hat in the ring.

We hope you’re well and have a magical week!

Great Moments in Disney History

Hello and welcome to Enchanted Ears, your podcast for anything and everything Disney. 

This week in Disney News, Disney recently announced a new show coming to Disney+ on May 4th called The Disney Gallery. As you may have guessed by the release date, The Disney Gallery is Star Wars-related. This show’s going to offer a behind-the-scenes look at The Mandalorian! And yes, of course, that’ll mean more Baby Yoda!

Also, good news for fans of the brilliant and zany Taika Waititi. After reading the script for Thor: Love and Thunder, Chris Hemsworth says the script sees Waititi, the writer-director, “at his most extreme.” We’re expecting a pretty crazy ride!

Since this is our 100th episode, we thought it’d be fun to go through a few of our favorite episodes and then do a sort of greatest hits of Disney as they’re getting close to 100 years old. 

We cover several events throughout Disney history starting before the company’s inception with the meeting of Walt and Ub Iwerks through Disney’s acquisition of many successful and fantastic companies like Lucasfilm, Pixar, Marvel, and Fox.

Thank you so much for being a listener (and for reading these...seriously...I listen to many podcasts and I never read the summaries). We would never have made it to 100 without dedicated listeners like yourself. We really enjoy creating content and having this podcast and our YouTube channel as an escape from all the craziness going on in the world. We’re looking forward to the next 100! Stay well and have a magical week, you magical being!

RunDisney with Becky from Disney in Your Day

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast where we discuss anything and everything Disney. We’re so excited about this week’s episode, but before we get into that: 🎶 bum bum bum bum bum bum 🎶 we have some news.

The Disney Family Singalong aired on Thursday and was a delightful way to spend your time. Amazing singers like Ariana Grande, Josh Groban, and the Broadway cast of Aladdin sang Disney classics, and the words were right there for you to sing along! If you missed it, check it out on Hulu (for the next few days) and probably Disney+ after that.

Also, Disney just released the schedule for many of the movies slated to come out with some notable changes. Artemis Fowl, originally set to release in theaters May 29, will go straight to Disney+ and be available for streaming June 12.

This week was maybe one of our favorite episodes ever as we were lucky enough to get to interview blogger, runner, and all-around-magical person, Becky Ginther. Her blog, Disney In Your Day, is an incredibly useful tool to anyone planning a Disney trip, in love with Disney food, or looking for a fun take on all things Disney.

We had a delightful conversation with Becky about her blog, planning a trip, doing RunDisney races, and how she’s getting her Disney fix right now.

We’d like to thank Becky so much for her time and definitely go check out her website, Disneyinyourday.com.

Splash Deep Dive

Welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, your favorite place for the latest Disney News and discussions on other Disney-related things.

This week in Disney News, because of park closures, you can head over to shopdisney.com to purchase the limited edition park pins.

For this episode, we dive into talking about the 1984 movie Splash, starring Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah. In the movie, a mermaid (Daryl Hannah) comes to live in New York in order to have a fun-filled six days with legs and her old/new love, Alan Bauer (Tom Hanks). Despite its many issues, the movie was highly successful and you can watch it on Disney+.

The behind the scenes information is more interesting than the movie itself. Many of the actors and director have gone on to have lucrative careers.  And the tale behind the mermaid tail is one of perseverance and triumph. So if you like fun behind-the-scenes talk, this is the episode for you!

Thank you for joining us. We hope you and your families are doing well! ❤️
