Enchanted Ears - Anything & Everything Disney

Guess the Song Lyric

Hello and a big welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, your place to get some stress-free Disney-related entertainment.

We kept Disney News short and sweet because honestly, we don’t want to talk about it and you’re probably sick of hearing it. All Disney Parks around the world closed due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Everyone stay safe and stay in.

This week, play along as Angela and Joe (to a lesser degree) guess the missing Disney song lyrics. This may be one of our funniest episodes to date. If guessing song lyrics wrong was an Olympic sport, Joe would be sporting the gold medal. 🤣

Thanks for tuning in and lending us your ears. Stay well and love each other.

Guess the Movie Quote

This week in Disney News, Disney opened the first attraction to feature Mickey and Minnie.  We discuss how Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway compares to Disney’s other trackless ride attractions. 

Plus, the Flower & Garden Festival kicks off this week at EPCOT.

This week, you can play along as we challenge each other in a game of guess the movie quote. Each of us has gathered 10 quotes from some of the biggest live action Disney movies to date and the other person tries to guess which movie the quote is from. We had a blast recording this and hope you have a blast listening!

Thanks for listening and supporting us. You all are amazing!

Changing of the Guard: Disney's New CEO

Holy cow, this was a crazy week! Soooo... today’s episode’s all news, all the time!

First off, did you see the Back to the Future deep fake starring Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Holland!? It’s crazy how well these two fit into the film and look like Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd! We brainstorm some deep fakes (we’d like to see as remakes) we’d love to see made starring MCU actors.

We love EPCOT, buuut when Spaceship Earth closes May 26th, unless Ratatouille is open by then, there may not be much of a point to going there. Almost the whole front of the park is getting refurbished right now!

And with Mardi Gras just passing, it seems Dr. Facilier may have worked his voodoo magic in the Magic Kingdom. Several rides this week seemed cursed and sank/crashed!

And lastly, in an abrupt turn of events, Bob Iger announces the sun has set on his time as Disney’s CEO and risen with Bob Chapek. What does this mean for the company? We discuss implications, concerns, and excitement.

Thanks for lending us your ears. Stay tuned for some new material we’re working on. We think you’re going to love it!!

Is It Worth It? Galaxy's Edge Edition

This week, in Disney News, Disney releases the 50th anniversary Cinderella Castle renderings. Let’s just say, there is a lot of gray, royal blue, pink, and gold which sounds like a cluster, but trust us, it’s fantastic.

Also, Disney gets more time to deliver the third Paris park per the agreement with France. Originally, they were to begin work in the next few years, but with all of the park improvements they’ve been making, they now don’t have to deliver the park until 2036.

This week, we do a Galaxy’s Edge edition of our recurring “Is It Worth It” series. We delve into such important topics such as lightsaber building, Oga’s cantina, building your own droid, whether or not to try the blue/green milk, and showing up an hour early to ride Rise of the Resistance. (Hint, most of this stuff IS worth it. Just what isn’t? You’ll have to listen to see.)

We also discuss the likelihood of Disney adding wallet-stealing droids to find an even faster way to siphon your money away from you. And there’s a Smuggler’s Run cheat code to reveal Chewie!? Yep. We even have a fabulous Chewie impressionist come on the show to tell us all about it in Shyriiwook.

Thanks for lending us your ears. We appreciate you and all you do! Have a fantastic week! Byyeeeee

Our Favorite Disney Couples

To honor Valentine’s Day last Friday, our episode highlights some of Disney’s best relationships.  

But before we get all cutesy on you, we have some news. Despite the cutbacks last year, Disney now announces an expansion to their Photopass program. For a little extra money, you can get a personal photo shoot! Sign us up.  

Also, because nothing is assured in life besides death, taxes, and Disney Park ticket increases, prices are set to go up again. This time taking the price of a one day park hopper to Disneyland to over $200 at certain times of the year.  

As promised, this week we talk about some of our favorite Disney couples. As to not ruin the surprise, we’ll only say that this episode feels like it’s been a long time coming. These ironclad couples have stood tests that seem insurmountable, but nothing can wreck their relationships. Through their incredible journeys, they accomplish their goals and grow together. Enough talk, hop on in!

Disney Decade: The 1960s

In this groovy episode of Enchanted Ears Podcast, we talk about Disney during the 1960s. But first, there was quite a bit of news last week.

In a fantastic turn of events, we finally get to talk about Hamilton the Musical as a Disney property!!! Yep...Disney paid $75 mil to own the filmed version of the original cast’s performance on Broadway, which they’ll make back in 1 night.

Disney announced the release dates for several of their most highly-anticipated shows including The Mandalorian season 2, Wandavision, and more.

Also, you’ll be able to start booking your fully-immersive Star Wars experience at the Galactic Starcruiser hotel later this year, so start saving your money now!!!

Finally, someone is rumored to be in talks to direct the new Star Wars films and let’s just say we called it.

This week, we continue our Disney Decades series with the 1960s. So much happens in this decade it’s hard to fit it all in (and we certainly missed a lot).

During this decade we see the inception of a lot of iconic Disney classic movies, the creation of a new animation process, park ride innovations that blew people’s minds, new parks and parks that never were, and, of course, the death of Walt Disney.

This decade brings about a lot of changes that forever impact the trajectory of the Disney company. Don’t miss out!

Over/Under Rated: Animal Kingdom Edition

Sooo...it’s the day after the Superb Owl and we’d like to formally congratulate the 49ers or The Chiefs! Yay! Someone’s going to Disney!

This week in Disney News, the stuntronics are almost ready and a new Spider-Man stunt show at DCA will be the first opportunity we’ll have to see these live and in action.

Also, Disney makes progress in their never-ending crusade to remake every animated classic. They announced a live action Bambi movie.

Also, in exciting and curious news, Owen Wilson joins the cast of the sure-to-be-a-hit Loki show on Disney+.

This week we continue our series of picking the most overrated and underrated attractions at various parks according to touringplans.com. This week we tackle Animal Kingdom, which we quickly realized has some of the best attractions of any of the parks.

Joe makes a few unpopular picks, and I nearly fight him over it. Luckily, we make it out with our marriage unscathed.

Let us know what you think and if we missed talking about any rides that are underrated or overrated.

Thanks for lending us your ears. Catch you next week!

Duel of the Fates: What Episode IX Could Have Been

Hello and welcome to your (favorite) Disney podcast! We’re super excited for you to hear our topic this week, but first, the news!

FastPasses for Smuggler’s Run are finally here, and with that comes an overhaul of Hollywood Studios FastPass system. Don’t worry, we think you’ll like the changes. 😉

And, what’s this?! The Declaration of Independence? No! Benjamin Franklin Gates already stole that and unlocked its secrets, BUT he may be up to his shenanigans again in a rumored new National Treasure movie.

Drumroll please.... This week we’ll be discussing Colin Trevorrow’s leaked script and the concept art that goes along with his dead Star Wars film that was eventually replaced by The Rise of Skywalker called Duel of the Fates. (Ballin’ title...we know.)

In the leaked information, we learn many of the plot points of this movie that shines in the pits of the never-to-be-made movie graveyard. These points include Rey’s new double-sided staff, maintaining that Rey is a nobody, Kylo Ren as the ultimate big bad, and Kylo’s lightsaber battle with Darth Vader. Ummmm...what made Lucasfilm say no to this?!

We discuss the impact of this now defunct story on the Skywalker saga as a whole and how it would’ve fit into the already established movies (spoiler alert...it would’ve fit MUCH better).

Thank you again for listening this week and don’t forget to check out the Banter? I Hardly Know Her Podcast. They’re the real deal! Have a great week!
