Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
Recently Disney announced they are shutting down the Disney Movie Club. We discuss what that means and how you might want to stop throwing away your DVDs.
Walt Disney World is a place full of amazing experiences, some of which are more obscure.
This week, we're discussing the various paid tours and experiences you can do in the Walt Disney World parks.
We've done 4 of the 10 tours, so in this week's pod, we report briefly on our experiences. Then we explain the remaining tours we have not taken.
To finish, we talk about which tours we'd like to redo and which of the tours we haven't taken yet, but would like to do based on the information presented. What are the most exciting tours? What tours give you the most bang for your buck? Listen in to find out!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
We got our first look at the new Tiana animatronic and it looks beautiful.
Plus, Disney filed permits to demolish the building of the short-lived NBA Experience. We speculate on what could be next for the location.
Have you ever dreamed of riding a bantha?
Walking through a Revolution-era town?
Battling evil forces in a Quinjet in Wakanda?
If you have, you're either an imagineer, or you stay up-to-date with all of the things Disney said they would build at one time, but alas, it wasn't meant to be. This week we talk canceled attractions or refurbishments and rank them based on how excited we would be to ride them if they were ever actually made.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
Universal Studios finally announced all of the lands in Epic Universe and we question what the reception will be like once the park opens.
We love Walt Disney, and his name is synonymous with the Disney parks, movies, and company as a whole.
But, today, we want to take a step back and pay some respects to one of the other, lesser known, Disney brothers: Roy O. Disney.
Roy, ever his brother's companion and in many ways, his other half, doesn't always come up in the conversation.
However, without Roy, there is some question as to whether Walt would've had the great success he did.
So who was Roy Disney? And what did he do to make Walt's dream become a reality?
Listen in and you'll see just why Roy deserves a little more credit than he often gets.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
Disney had their earnings release this week and had some surprise announcements including a new movie and another venture into gaming.
When you're used to the Disney World parks, it can be a little overwhelming going over to Disneyland in Anaheim and figuring out just where you want to eat.
But not to worry! We've got you covered.
This week we review 9 different eating establishments on Disneyland property, including one 10/10, would return daily if we could, and one 1/10, avoid at (almost) all costs.
Since we were with friends, thank you Jennifer and Keifer, we got an even larger variety of food than we usually do to talk about and even some drinks. So, maybe consider listening to this episode on your way to get food because after, you may want to eat!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
This week in Disney News, Meilin and Ming Lee are now doing a meet and greet in DCA for the Lunar New Year that looks top notch!
Also, Mickey and Minnie's new fits for Lookout Key are bright and beautiful.
What would you say if we told you there is a Disney Park in Germany?
Some of you may say, cool. Some probably would start naming the parks and conclude that we've lost our minds!
But, after this episode, you may be convinced that there's an unofficial/knockoff park that does come close to reproducing some of the magic that, if you're listening to this podcast, you know and love.
Europa Park just might be the next park on your list because they have a mouse mascot, their own pilfering pirate boat ride, many highly-themed hotels, a Casper-haunted castle, and the list goes on...to the point that it sounds like, you've guessed it, we're describing a Disney Park.
So travel with us to Rust, Germany and learn what this hubbub is all about.

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
A lot of Disney News dropped while we were away including the launch of the incredible Electrical Sky Parade over in Disneyland Paris.
Plus, Imagineer Lanny Smoot was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame and showed off his latest invention, the Hallow Tile Floor. We speculate how Disney plans to use it.
We're back from our 10K and 1/2 marathon races in Disneyland, and we're so ready to spill the tea about our first race on the west coast.
When we registered for this race, we assumed RunDisney would run it (pun intended) the exact same way as the Disney World races, but boy were we wrong!
We talk about why that is, what we really enjoyed about Disneyland, and what we missed about the larger Disney World races. Plus, we reveal the most important answer to the most important question IMHO, "What characters were there?"

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
This week in Disney News, subscribers of Disney+ will be able to get a free Disney dining plan.
For all of the Figment fans out there, Festival of the Arts will feature a new Figment popcorn bucket this year which will certainly have you clamoring to EPCOT.
We have one question for you.
What if EPCOT wasn’t just in Disney World?
What if Disneyland had their own version? What would you call it?
Well, Disney almost called it WestCOT. This park was slated to be built in the early 90s until a number of factors got it cancelled.
So what was going to be in the park? Was it an exact copy and paste of the existing park? Where was it going to go? We answer these questions and much more, so give us a listen!

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
This week in Disney News, the Voyage of the Little Mermaid in Hollywood Studios will not be returning, and will instead reopen in Fall 2024 as Little Mermaid: A Musical Adventure.
Also, when changes come on January 9th to park hopping in WDW, virtual queing will change as well.
Over in Disneyland, the Magic Happens parade will be returning shortly after the new year along with Wonderous Journeys.
2023 was a pretty good year, but maybe not for the crystal ball we borrowed from Madam Leota.
In this episode, we recap our going-into-2023-predictions for Disney News. Although we definitely did NOT get some things right, like Disney World finally picking a retheme for the Dinoland section of Animal Kingdom, we were able to peek into the future in some small ways. See our very obvious prediction about Bob Iger’s contract extension.
So give us a listen and hear about the year in review coupled with a few small predictions for 2024 and beyond.
