Join Erik this week as he is joined by Olivia, Marie, and Rob as they discuss their favorite live action remakes, how they would turn the four Disney movies released in 1981 into attractions, the three items they would bring on a Disney trip if their backpacks could only hold three items, and what modern or classic TV families they would like to see a Disney Parks vacation episode of. Support the podcast by going to https://www.thehubcrawl.com/support. Question 1: With Lilo and Stitch being a good new live-action remake, what is your favorite or least favorite remake of a Disney animated movie? Question 2: Disney released four movies in 1981: The Devil and Max Devlin, Amy, The Fox and the Hound, and Condorman. Pick one of these movies and develop an attraction for one of the parks. Question 3: You + one other adult are going to a Disney theme park. You are prepared and bring a backpack. However, that backpack can only hold 3 things (not including phone, wallet, sunglasses, and ears). What three items are you bringing with you and why? Question 4: What modern or classic TV family would you love to see do a Disney Parks vacation episode —and what chaos unfolds during the trip? Bonus Question: What was your favorite question from previous shows and how would you answer it?

Gwinnett's new sculptures create attractions for downtown Lawrenceville Georgia Gwinnett College Has Record Summer Enrollment Blind Melon To Headline Suwanee's August Concert Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on controlling your sweet tooth All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Gwinnett's new sculptures create attractions for downtown Lawrenceville Atlanta artist David Landis unveiled two new sculptures in Lawrenceville’s Bicentennial Plaza: “Make A Wish,” featuring towering stainless steel clovers with a hidden four-leaf clover, and “Vibrantly Connected,” showcasing ginkgo leaves forming Gwinnett County’s logo. Funded by the county for $323,500, the sculptures aim to enhance community spaces and attract visitors. Landis, inspired by botanical themes, designed the interactive pieces to foster family and community engagement. Officials, including Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson, emphasized the role of public art in creating a sense of place, with plans for more installations across Gwinnett County. STORY 2: Georgia Gwinnett College Has Record Summer Enrollment Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) is seeing a significant enrollment surge this summer, with 5,300 students enrolled—over 600 more than last summer’s 4,698. Officials expect numbers to grow further with Summer B classes starting June 18. Kimberly Jordan, interim VP for Enrollment Management, credits the increase to GGC’s flexible, fast-paced summer courses, which are condensed into five-week sessions, helping students stay on track or graduate sooner. Summer classes began May 19 and run through July 22, continuing GGC’s trend of consistent growth for the eighth straight semester. STORY 3: Blind Melon To Headline Suwanee's August Concert Blind Melon will headline Suwanee’s free August Concert on Aug. 9 at Town Center Park. Known for their hit "No Rain," the band will take the amphitheater stage at 7 p.m., following an opening performance by Atlanta-based band Honeyknife. Activities begin at 6 p.m. Blind Melon, formed in 1990, re-formed in 2006 with vocalist Travis Warren and is playing 20 summer dates. Suwanee officials promise an unforgettable night of live music with these two energetic acts. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Casandra Matej, President & CEO of Visit Orlando, joins us in today's new episode!

[The episode has three friends in it: Joey Svendsen, Amy Alderman, and Hayne Griffin]Joey read a book that captures the American history of adolescent girls' commitment to having the best possible body.  You can check out "The Body Project: An Intimate History of American Girls" here.  With some of the book's contents as the context, Joey, Hayne and Amy talk through women's arduous struggle toward gender equality and how far along society has come, while Joey now having read this book, admits ignorance to many aspects of the challenge for women.  Amy opens up about some personal body image issues, personally relating to the societal research spelled out in this particular book.  Joey and Hayne try to explain why they are not sexually attracted to 20 year olds and Amy gives her best shot at explaining why she thinks they are not.  Send a text to the crew (we may read these on air)E-mail Joey here.

Join Erik and Tage this week as they are joined by Ryan and Olivia as they discuss the stores they wish existed in Disney shopping districts, the attractions they think Tage and Erik should go on first on their trip to Disneyland, what they would put in their foodie guides if they could make their own, and the experiences that don't exist anymore that they wish they could experience again. Support the podcast by going to https://www.thehubcrawl.com/support. Question 1: I'm going to riff off of a question from a few weeks ago. What is a store that you wish existed in the Disney Shopping district of your choice (Downtown Disney or Disney Springs)? Question 2: Which attraction should Tage and Erik experience first on their trip to Disneyland in July? Question 3: Disney has put out an insane amount of foodie guides in the past couple of years. You get to make your own foodie guide/foodie booth - it has to have a snack, "main" (think like food and wine festival), drink and dessert. These can be items already in the park in general, past foodie guide offerings, your faves in normal life etc. Question 4: What is an experience that doesn't exist anymore that you would like to do/do again? Bonus Question: If you had to pick one attraction from any Disney theme park that best represents the Disney brand as a whole, what would it be and why? What elements / attributes / emotions come to mind when you think of the brand and how does the attraction relate to those?

The landscape of Walt Disney World is shifting dramatically, with major transformations coming to every park. From Dinoland USA becoming a vibrant Central Americas-themed land featuring Encanto and Indiana Jones, to Tom Sawyer Island making way for a Cars attraction, these changes represent Disney's evolving approach to park experiences.We dive deep into what these transformations mean for the Disney experience, exploring the tension between nostalgic attractions and Disney's push toward more recognizable intellectual properties. The upcoming Villains Land behind Big Thunder Mountain promises thrilling new experiences without replacing existing attractions, while Hollywood Studios will soon feature a Monsters Inc land with an innovative suspended coaster based on the door conveyor system from the beloved film.These changes raise important questions: Is Disney losing some of its original magic by replacing unique Imagineering creations with movie tie-ins? Or is this evolution necessary to compete with Universal's Epic Universe and appeal to younger generations? We consider whether the Disney experience has improved or declined since 2019, discussing the loss of beloved perks like Magical Express and free FastPass while acknowledging the exciting new attractions on the horizon.We also share our upcoming plans to test the new Multi-Pass system during our next trip, estimating we'll spend around $500 extra for our family of four to access all premium ride options. Will the convenience justify the cost? Is the Free Dining package actually saving money when factoring in required add-ons like Park Hopper tickets? These practical considerations reflect the changing economics of a Disney vacation in today's landscape.Whether you're a Disney purist concerned about these changes or excited to experience the new attractions, this episode provides thoughtful perspective on what Walt Disney World's transformation means for different types of visitors.

What began as "Russian Mountains" evolved across Europe, and eventually, found their way to the good ol' U.S. of A... In 1884, one man wanted to use his vast fortune--NO! Not to help anyone!--to keep a recently re-unioned American population from getting too drunk, too horny, and too gambly... So he built himself a roller coaster, and with it, he made even more money (which he did not share), but at least he gave us all the gift of post-mule speeds, and the exhilaration that comes with it! Join us to learn about the FIRST ROLLER COASTER! Plus, we get Springy in the MouthGarf Report, and especially confounding (and that's saying something) in I See What You Did There!Sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_coaster#Russian_Mountainshttps://www.thevintagenews.com/2018/10/24/roller-coasters/https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/14-fun-facts-about-roller-coasters-180972920/ Please give us a 5 star rating on Apple Podcasts! Want to ask us a question?

On this episode of Destination on the Left, Laurel Greatrix and I explore why today's travelers are seeking out the experience first and planning trips around it. She shares the top types of experiences that travelers are searching for and explains why they allow visitors to explore a destination more deeply. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why today's travelers are increasingly planning trips around experiences rather than destinations, and what this shift means for destination marketers What types of travel experiences are trending right now, from outdoor adventures to immersive, small-group offerings like cooking and craft classes How Viator supports both large and small experience operators and helps them reach wider audiences through powerful distribution partnerships Why authenticity matters in travel experiences and how travelers are seeking unique, non-mass market interactions to go deeper into destinations What roles collaboration and strategic partnerships play in Viator's business model, including the relationship with TripAdvisor and broad third-party distribution The Experience-First Shift in Travel Planning Historically, travel planning centered around destinations, accommodations, and flights. Travelers picked a location, locked in their hotel, and then considered what activities to do once on site. But according to Laurel Greatrix, Vice President of Marketing at Viator, the world's largest travel experiences marketplace, that approach is rapidly evolving. Increasingly, travelers are first setting their sights on unique and memorable experiences and building their trips around them. What sets the experiences sector apart isn't just its offline-heavy operation or diversity, but the sheer pace of its growth. Since the pandemic, demand has soared for outdoor and active experiences, with destinations like Alaska, Utah, Colorado, and Banff seeing impressive spikes in bookings. Simultaneously, activities such as cooking classes and craft workshops are seeing consistent double- and even triple-digit growth rates. These trends show travelers craving meaningful engagement with destinations, a trend accelerated by the global prioritization of health, wellness, and authentic encounters. Authenticity and Personalization “Authentic” is a buzzword often used in travel, but as Laurel points out, it means something different to every traveler. Viator's data shows that while classic attractions, think the Louvre or the Eiffel Tower, remain bucket-list essentials, growth is skewing toward bespoke, local, and hands-on experiences. Travelers increasingly seek opportunities to connect with local culture, meet passionate guides, and try their hand at activities like perfume making in Paris or chocolate crafting in Belgium. For marketers and operators, this means a growing need to communicate what makes their experiences unique, accessible, and “authentic.” Reviews, detailed product descriptions, and visually rich content can help set expectations and attract customers seeking depth over breadth. Collaboration in the Experiences Ecosystem Viator's success is rooted in collaboration, internally and through partnerships. Its acquisition by TripAdvisor shows how powerful collaborations can transform an entire market segment. By powering bookings across thousands of partner sites ranging from airlines to travel agencies and even Amazon, Viator helps even the smallest operators achieve global reach. Collaboration also extends to working with destinations and other experience providers. By joining forces, they can disperse visitor traffic, reduce overcrowding at major sites, and promote lesser-known experiences that contribute to local economies and more sustainable tourism practices.

However, overlooking the deeper significance behind name tags can lead to missed opportunities in team engagement, guest connection, and even operational accuracy. In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about how a name tag can be a powerful symbol of identity, pride, and personal connection that strengthens both the employee and guest experience. Name Tags as Symbols of Pride and Representation "It was a weighty responsibility, but I felt like I was representing the company." Matt reflects on his personal connection to the name tags he wore throughout his career, recognizing them not just as an identifier, but as a symbol of the company and his role within it. The discussion highlights that when team members are given a name tag, it can become a source of pride and ownership—if organizations frame it that way. Rather than being a disposable piece of plastic, it can represent belonging and responsibility within the company culture. The Risk of Misidentification "What if that person provided an exemplary experience and that guest wrote an online review about that individual or sent in an email or called and said, you absolutely have to recognize Nick?" Josh points out the operational risks of allowing employees to wear random name tags simply to meet uniform standards. Whether the result is a missed opportunity to recognize excellence or a guest complaint directed at the wrong person, the repercussions can erode both guest trust and team morale. By ensuring accurate name tag usage, organizations reinforce the integrity of both the guest experience and internal processes. A Tool for Connection and Storytelling "It was a micro-moment about personalizing the experience. I was the guest. I did this." Josh shares a personal story where a name tag sparked an unexpected connection during a visit to Epic Universe. This anecdote illustrates how name tags can become tools for personalized storytelling, conversation starters, and guest engagement. When name tags include elements like hometowns, passions, or favorite rides, they create openings for guests to connect authentically with team members—turning a small detail into a memorable moment. Elevating the Importance of Name Tags "There could be maybe more of a presentation like here's your name tag. Like this is something that's super important and you should think it's important." Matt suggests that organizations can enhance team pride by elevating the name tag presentation process itself. By treating it as a meaningful rite of passage—rather than a casual handoff from wardrobe—leaders can reinforce the value placed on identity and representation. This small gesture can have a lasting impact on how team members view their role within the company. Practical Tips for Effective Name Tag Use "Make it big enough to read." Matt closes the conversation with a practical reminder for anyone involved in name tag procurement: ensure the text is large enough for guests to read comfortably. A name tag's primary function is to allow guests to identify and connect with employees, and if the name isn't easily visible, the opportunity is lost.   Do you have creative ideas for making name tags more impactful? Matt and Josh encourage you to share your experiences and suggestions. Connect with them on social media or through the AttractionPros website and join the conversation about how small details like name tags can make a big difference in the guest and employee experience.   This podcast wouldn't be possible without the incredible work of our faaaaaantastic team:   Audio and Video editing by Abby Giganan   To connect with AttractionPros: AttractionPros.com AttractionPros@gmail.com AttractionPros on Facebook AttractionPros on LinkedIn AttractionPros on Instagram AttractionPros on Twitter (X)

Legendary American scholar and critic Tom Gunning has changed the way we think about film history and the future of the medium, profoundly influencing generations of academics, artists, and cinephiles. On Sunday, April 27, Devika Girish and Clinton Krute hosted a live conversation with Gunning and curator David Schwartz at the Museum of the Moving Image, following a screening of Hal Hartley's Flirt (1995), an experimental narrative of love and loss set in three cities—New York, Berlin, and Tokyo. The event was part of a multiday series of screenings and discussions organized by Schwartz, taking place at venues including MoMI, Anthology Film Archives, and Light Industry. This special weekend marked the publication of a new collection of Gunning's writing, entitled The Attractions of the Moving Image: Essays on History, Theory, and the Avant-Garde. The conversation covered a wide range of topics, from Gunning's seminal essay “The Cinema of Attractions” (1986) to his teacher-student relationship with Hartley to some contemporary films that he's (perhaps surprisingly) enjoyed.

Best Of 2GG: Local Attractions PART 1 by Two Girls and a Guy

Best Of 2GG: Local Attractions PART 2 by Two Girls and a Guy

Summer's not that far off, and the kids are already thinking “vacation.” Will you be ready for it?How can you make great family memories without breaking the budget? That's always the challenge, but Crystal Paine joins us today with some great tips for a budget-friendly family vacation.Crystal Paine is the founder of MoneySavingMom.com and the author of The Money Saving Mom's Budget: Slash Your Spending, Pay Down Your Debt, Streamline Your Life, and Save Thousands a Year. How to Take a Great Family Vacation Without Breaking the BankPlanning a family vacation is one of life's great joys—and, if you're not careful, one of its greatest budget busters. Here are some practical and encouraging tips on how to plan a memorable getaway without coming home to credit card regret.1. Start with a Plan—and Start EarlyPlan ahead. Start early to maximize your options. That includes scouting for affordable destinations—especially those a little off the beaten path—and using tools like Google Flights to find the best travel deals.Google Flights lets you enter your preferred dates and search anywhere for the lowest fares. It's a great way to discover places you might not have thought of but can afford. Also, set a clear trip budget early on and decide as a family what matters most. Maybe it's staying near the beach, and you're willing to save by eating in.2. Look for Free ActivitiesYou'd be surprised how many free attractions are out there. Just type your destination and “free things to do” into a search engine. From parks and hiking trails to museums and community festivals, many cities offer hidden gems that cost nothing but create lasting memories.3. Get the Whole Family InvolvedVacations are more meaningful when everyone has a say. Let your kids have a voice in the planning process. Even if they're not picking the destination, they can help select activities. Better yet, give each family member a mini-budget to plan a portion of the trip.This allows kids to learn about budgeting, decision-making, and the real cost of things, making the trip more personal and fun.4. Be Strategic About MealsEating out can quickly blow your vacation budget. Instead, be intentional. That's why it's recommended to stay at a hotel with a complimentary breakfast and bring snacks or simple meals from home.Another good idea is to stop by a grocery store after you arrive. You can grab basics like peanut butter, bread, fruit, and chips. It's way cheaper than dining out every meal.Save the splurge for one nice dinner, and make it count—this way, you can enjoy a special moment without feeling guilty about the cost.5. Set a Daily Spending LimitOne final way to stay on track financially is to set a daily limit for discretionary spending and make it a family challenge. How far can we stretch our budget today while still having fun?This not only helps you stay on target, but it also models financial wisdom and creativity for your kids, transforming money management into a team effort.Remember that the best vacation is the one you come home from without credit card debt. With some planning, creativity, and teamwork, your next family getaway can be affordable and unforgettable.Want more money-saving tips from Crystal? Visit MoneySavingMom.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I just set up a new bank account, and they recommended using a debit card to pay bills. But I've always used my credit card and think it's more secure. What's your advice on using a debit versus a credit card for monthly bills?I have a 401(k) and want to invest more deeply in stocks. I know the stock market is dropping, but I remember when it fell much more. I'm confident about our economy and in God. I'd like to invest about 30% in stocks, but I'm wondering if I'm getting in too soon, or should I wait for the market to go lower?I have a question about annuities. We talked to someone about an annuity that's locked into some kind of care, like long-term care insurance. We're in our early 60s, and I'm wondering if it's too late and if this is a good idea.I have a money market account into which my wife's paycheck goes, and we pay our mortgage.
