In this episode, Chris Cochrane guest-hosts for his brother Ray and devotes the whole show to one event: Disney’s D23 2026 fan convention in Anaheim. Friday night delivered Marvel’s new X-Men cast, Adam Driver as Mister Sinister, a fresh Avengers: Doomsday trailer, and a release date for Frozen 3. Saturday turned to the parks, with Villains Land, an Indiana Jones dark ride, the long-awaited Expedition Everest yeti repair, and a Monsters Inc land opening in 2027. – Want to start a podcast?

Instead of six or eight unrelated stories, the entire episode covers Disney’s D23 convention, which he compares to Apple’s WWDC. For newcomers, he notes that D23 is Disney’s official fan club, named for the company’s founding year of 1923. This year’s event ran two nights at the Honda Center: Friday for movies and television, Saturday for the theme parks. Marvel Finally Casts the X-Men Friday’s headline was the X-Men. The Associated Press put the crowd near 12,000, and Marvel Studios used that stage to name its rebooted team. Christopher Abbott plays Professor Charles Xavier, Inde Navarrette plays Rogue, and Maya Boyd plays Storm. Adam Driver rounds out the group as the villain Mister Sinister. Meanwhile, Samara Weaving, Kit Connor, and Sadie Sink were already known as Emma Frost, Cyclops, and Jean Grey. Jake Schreier directs, and the film arrives May 5, 2028. Chris calls the lineup spot-on casting. He singles out Weaving as a perfect match for the comics, and he points out that Sink already appeared as Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Navarrette is the least established name, coming off a breakout role in an indie horror film. Boyd, meanwhile, was the name he knew least, with what he believes is a Broadway background. Above all, Chris hopes Marvel does the team justice, and he recommends the animated revival X-Men ’97 on Disney+ as the best place to start. Frozen 3 Gets a Date and a Chaotic Reveal Frozen 3 lands November 24, 2027. That is the Wednesday of Thanksgiving week, the same slot the first two films used. The story centers on Anna and Kristoff’s wedding, which a new villain, an evil Ice Queen, disrupts. Jennifer Lee returns to direct with Trent Correy, and the full voice cast is back. However, the reveal itself fell apart. Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel performed a darker arrangement of “Frozen Heart.” Meanwhile, the audio failed, the video failed, and a set of doors never opened. Menzel asked the crowd whether they should try it again, and Bell simply narrated everything that was supposed to happen. Afterward, Josh Gad sang “Oooh, Samantha,” a new love song for Olaf. Chris is here for it, since Olaf is one of the franchise’s best comic characters. Pixar, Disney Animation, and the Rest of Friday Night Pixar chief Pete Docter laid out a packed slate. Incredibles 3 hits summer 2028 and follows Violet and Dash sneaking out at night to fight crime. Chris hopes that finally shows a grown-up Jack-Jack. Coco 2 follows in November 2029 with Benjamin Bratt returning as Ernesto de la Cruz. That has fans puzzling over how a villain already in the Land of the Dead comes back. Additionally, Pixar showed an original called Ghost Market and a Venice-set cat film called Gatto. On the Disney Animation side, Zootopia 3 is confirmed. The live-action Tangled arrives March 31, 2028 with Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel. Chris considers that casting perfect after her turn in Agatha All Along. A live-action Lilo & Stitch sequel, a new Simpsons movie, a Bluey movie, and a Kingdom Hearts anime series round out the list. For Star Wars fans, Ahsoka returns January 20, 2027. Chris also offers a hot take: he prefers Rogue One to the entire sequel trilogy. Consequently, he welcomes original stories like Ryan Gosling’s upcoming Starfighter. Adam Driver Is Mister Sinister Driver appeared by video rather than in person. He told the crowd that he and Kevin Feige had talked for years about joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Then he announced he would play Magneto. After a long pause, he corrected himself to Nathaniel Milbury, which is Mister Sinister’s human alias. The gag landed because fans had floated Driver for Magneto for years. For anyone new to the comics, Chris explains that Mister Sinister is a geneticist obsessed with mutant DNA, a manipulator rather than a brawler. The cast met backstage only minutes earlier, so Chris is curious how their chemistry develops. Notably, Christopher Abbott previously worked with Driver on HBO’s Girls. The script comes from Beef creator Lee Sung Jin and The Bear co-showrunner Joanna Calo, two prestige-television names that have Chris excited. Why the X-Men Took Thirty Years to Reach the MCU A business story underlies the casting. In the 1990s, a financially struggling Marvel sold film rights to raise cash. Fox ended up with the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, and Sony took Spider-Man. As a result, Marvel Studios built its connected universe from 2008 onward without some of its most famous characters. The Hugh Jackman era of X-Men films belonged to Fox, with a separate continuity and no crossovers. That changed in 2019, when Disney closed its $71 billion purchase of 21st Century Fox’s film and television studio. Most coverage framed the deal as a streaming play, but it also brought the X-Men home. Chris sums it up neatly: Disney signed the paperwork in 2019, cast the film in 2026, and audiences see it in 2028. Ryan Gosling’s Starfighter, Ghost Rider, and VisionQuest Lucasfilm dated Star Wars: Starfighter for May 28, 2027. Gosling plays Kade Auberon, a pilot from the wrong side of the galaxy tied to the fastest starfighter ever built. Before he walked out, Disney played clips of him as a kid on The Mickey Mouse Club. Gosling said the company changed his life then and is changing it again now. He is also playing Ghost Rider in the Marvel universe. That thrills Chris, since Nicolas Cage last carried the character on the big screen. Meanwhile, the Disney+ series VisionQuest arrives October 14. Paul Bettany returns as Vision and James Spader as Ultron, and the trailer drops the two androids into oddly mundane human situations. Bettany joked that Vision has “rather inconveniently died several times.” Chris agrees the character has been through the wringer since WandaVision. The Avengers: Doomsday Trailer Avengers: Doomsday opens December 18, with Joe and Anthony Russo directing. Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Hayley Atwell introduced the new footage. It offers the clearest look yet at Downey as Doctor Doom, who fights off Thor and takes his hammer. Evans appears as Captain America holding a baby, and Ian McKellen shows up as a haggard, long-haired Magneto. One quieter shot has Doom staring at a portrait of a lost wife and child. That frames him as a grieving avenger rather than a world-ender. He also commands an army of comic-accurate Sentinels. The cast pulls from the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and the legacy Fox X-Men, including Patrick Stewart. Hugh Jackman also appeared on screen to say he is willing to return as Wolverine, though that was not a confirmation. Chris, a self-described Marvel nerd, closes with a theory. He suspects the MCU’s Tony Stark was actually Victor von Doom, adopted by the Starks, which would explain the Downey casting. He also predicts the Fox-era X-Men die off in this film and that Thor may be the major casualty. If it happens, he wants credit for calling it.

Disney Parks Around the World Saturday’s Disney Experiences showcase covered parks, resorts, and cruise ships, with Neil Patrick Harris hosting. Hong Kong Disneyland gets an Avengers pavilion that reshapes its Stark Expo skyline. Shanghai Disneyland is building the first land devoted entirely to Spider-Man, complete with a new coaster. Since Spider-Man is his favorite hero, Chris hopes to visit once it opens. Closer to home, Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure is doubling in size with two rides opening in 2028. Avengers: Infinity Defense brings back Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Chris Hemsworth, and Downey, while Stark Flight Lab adds Brie Larson. A Coco boat ride into the Land of the Dead is also coming, with no height requirement. Chris admits he prefers California Adventure to Disneyland because the rides are better. Overseas, Disneyland Paris will retire its Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain overlay at the end of 2027 and restore the original Jules Verne theme. Paris also gets the first ride ever based on The Lion King. Tokyo Disneyland adds Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue, the first Wreck-It Ralph ride, plus a Space Mountain launch sequence designed with YouTuber Mark Rober. Finally, Disney Cruise Line announced three more ships, including the Disney Believe in 2027 and an entirely new class in 2029. Back in Anaheim, Tomorrowland is getting reimagined, which Chris welcomes because the land badly needs an update. The Magic Happens parade and the Remember Dreams Come True fireworks are both returning. For the tech crowd, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run now has a Fortnite crossover, where in-game missions unlock content on the real ride. Every New Walt Disney World Ride and Land Chris ranks the Florida parks Hollywood Studios first, then Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom leads the announcements with Villains Land, now the official name. It features a Maleficent coaster through an enchanted briar and a boat ride through the Evil Queen’s catacombs. Reporting puts its scale near Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and Glenn Close appeared in character as Cruella to announce it. Piston Peak, the Cars area replacing Tom Sawyer Island, adds two more rides, though their exact names remain unsettled. Additionally, the Carousel of Progress gets new scenes and a recast. Jamie Lee Curtis and Bryan Cranston will voice Mom and Dad starting late spring 2027. Chris, invoking Heisenberg, calls Cranston the GOAT. At Animal Kingdom, the Indiana Jones ride now has a name: Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent. It tells an original 1950 story inside a Maya temple, and Harrison Ford personally served as the physical model for the animatronic. Nearby, the Tropical Americas land brings Antonio’s Fiesta de Encanto, with more than fifty animal animatronics and no height requirement. Then comes the fix park regulars have wanted for years. The Expedition Everest yeti broke soon after the ride opened. Rather than fix it, Disney lit it with a strobe for over a decade, earning the nickname disco yeti. Now it is being repaired and returned to full motion. Chris rates Everest among his top five rides anywhere, and he suggests riding it before the fix so you can compare. Over at Epcot, Spaceship Earth gets its first major story rewrite in nearly twenty years, shifting from communication history to human connection. Dreamfinder also returns to Journey Into Imagination, and Disney Experiences chairman Thomas Mazloum introduced that news with two words: “we heard you.” Mazloum added that Disney has more projects underway than at any point in its history. After this rundown, Chris believes him. Monsters Inc Land Opens in 2027 Monstropolis begins opening at Hollywood Studios in early 2027, but in stages. The headline door coaster will not be ready on day one. It is the first suspended coaster in any Disney park. It also uses Disney’s first vertical lift, hauling riders about forty feet straight up before launching them into the door vault. Instead, the land opens with the Glob Theater’s “Welcome to Monstropolis” show and Harryhausen’s, a working sushi restaurant lifted from the first film. The stage show features an original song by Randy Newman, his first ever written for a theme park attraction. Chris also notes that the restaurant name honors stop-motion legend Ray Harryhausen. Wrapping up, Chris names the X-Men casting and the Doomsday trailer as his favorite moments of the weekend. He hopes to cover more movie news on future shows, and he plugs Dune: Part Three, which also opens December 18. Chris signs off with the usual mentions: GNC Insider at geeknewscentral.com/insider, email at geeknews@gmail.com, the newsletter, and modern podcast apps at podcastapps.com. He also thanks GoDaddy for over twenty years of support. The post Huge Announcements From D23!! #1873 appeared first on Geek News Central.

Howard the Duck has been waddling around the Marvel Universe for more than 50 years, but 40 years ago he made his big-screen debut in one of the strangest movies ever to come out of Hollywood. We're getting our feathers ruffled and taking a look back at the movie that proved sometimes you just have to wing it! Was Howard the Duck really as bad as everyone said? We're looking at the history, the weirdness, the practical effects, the critics, and the legacy of this infamous 80s cult classic.    News BingeBuster Becomes BingeBrowse - After receiving a cease and desist from Blockbuster, BingeBuster has rebranded as BingeBrowse.

We're celebrating the 40th anniversary of the movie that brought Marvel's cigar-chomping, wisecracking waterfowl to the big screen. We look back at Howard's comic-book origins, George Lucas' involvement, the enormous production, the practical effects, and the movie's spectacular journey from box-office bomb to cult classic.   Then it's time for "What the Duck?", where we try to figure out which critics wrote some of the movie's most memorable reviews. We'll also debate whether Howard was really as bad as his reputation suggests, look at how the character could work today, and explore his eventual return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.   Can you tell a real 1980s movie from something we completely made up? We're putting our knowledge of bizarre 80s cinema to the test with plots involving killer mall robots, time-traveling cyborgs, zombies, tiny demons, alternate dimensions, and murderous machines.

In the 306th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave have now watched another Disney D23 come and go, and our predictions have also succeeded and failed. Up first, Jenn getting set for her January trip, while Dave is sporting some new Star Wars Merch, and they chat about the Brightline update on a new station in Cocoa Beach. News brings another resort added to the airport transfers at Disney World... lights come up from Epcot... more trash can issues (poor MawMaw!). Then, a quick rundown of the movies and shows announced over the weekend. And then a full recap of the Parks & Experiences Panel, with world parks, Disney Cruise Line, Disneyland and Disney World.  We chat - and disagree - on why the show was over 2 hours... the Dreamfinder coming back, but in what capacity... Avengers Campus... Encanto ride... the odd Timon in the Tropical Americas carousel... gutting Spaceship Earth... Monstropolis updates, and why the land will likely partially open... and Villains Land and all the scary details.

D23 2026 was stacked — for the first time in a long while, Disney made major announcements for all six U.S. parks, plus Disney Cruise Line and a full lineup of movies. In this episode, Lisa, Debby, Sharpie and Steve give you the fast, fun rundown of everything that matters, with the context and honest takes you only get from planners who've actually been there. Here's what's coming to the Disney parks (and when): Magic Kingdom Villains Land — a new immersive land roughly the size of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, anchored by a Maleficent family coaster and a Magic Mirror dark ride through the Evil Queen's catacombs, starring Ursula, Cruella de Vil, Jafar, Scar and more. Shops, restaurants, and yes — a villains bar with smoky drinks. Ground is already broken. Piston Peak — Frontierland's national-park-themed expansion (replacing Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island) with a Cars-inspired E-ticket, a Mrs. Fritter spinner, and a Ranger HQ lodge with walking trails. Projected for 2027. Carousel of Progress reimagined — new decades (1960s, 1980s, the Y2K millennium, and a "possible future"), new voices from Jamie Lee Curtis and Bryan Cranston, a rumored Walt Disney opening — and hopefully the same "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow." Debuting late spring 2027. Disney's Hollywood Studios Monstropolis — "the city frightful" opens in the former Muppets Courtyard (phased, starting 2027). The Globe Theatre welcome show with Mike & Sulley, Archie's Scared Pig Pizza, the Monsters University Alumni Club, Harryhausen's sushi restaurant, and the Door Coaster (a vault coaster that launches riders ~40 feet in about 4 seconds) coming in a later phase. Disney's Animal Kingdom Tropical Americas — Indiana Jones: Rise of the Jade Serpent (with a Harrison Ford animatronic), an Encanto Casita ride-through, a new carousel, and the largest quick-service restaurant on property. Plus — the Expedition Everest "Disco Yeti" is finally getting fixed. Epcot Spaceship Earth gets a "grand and miraculous" overhaul, and Dreamfinder returns to Journey Into Imagination. Disney Cruise Line First look at the Disney Believe (sailing late 2027), a Moana-and-South-Pacific-themed evolution of the Wish class — plus a new, smaller class of ships debuting 2029 built for underserved ports, growing the fleet to 13. Disneyland Resort Tomorrowland reimagining, Avengers Campus expansion and the new Stark Flight Lab, the return of the original World of Color, a new nighttime projection spectacular, and the Magic Happens parade coming back for summer 2027. At the movies: Coco 2, Frozen 3 (Anna & Kristoff finally marry — and Olaf falls in love), a new Ice Age, and Incredibles 3.

It also includes behind-the-scenes looks at how attractions are created and previews of future Disney Parks projects currently in development. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-entertainment/disney-worldbuilders-trailer/ Disneyland's 70th Anniversary celebration is coming to an end. The “Happiest Celebration on Earth” will officially wrap up on August 9, bringing an end to the special entertainment, decorations, merchandise, and food offerings that have celebrated Disneyland's 70 years of magic. While these activities are coming to an end, Paint the Night Parade and Wondrous Journeys Fireworks have been extended to August 20th with Halloween Time arriving at the parks the following day. – https://www.micechat.com/440378-disneyland-update-tomorrowland-70th-anniversary-ends-d23-2026/ In just over a week, The D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event begins August 14th. The Anaheim event will feature expanded show floor hours, more than 50 panels and presentations, and three major nighttime showcases at the Honda Center, including the Disney Experiences Showcase where fans could get a look at what's next for the theme parks. The event will also include D23 Day at Disneyland Resort, a new Walt Disney Archives exhibit, and the return of fan favorites like the Mousequerade costume contest. – https://www.micechat.com/440378-disneyland-update-tomorrowland-70th-anniversary-ends-d23-2026/ A new Marvel-inspired merchandise collection has arrived at Avengers Campus. The Tivan Collection is inspired by the Collector's museum from Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! and features apparel, accessories, and collectibles designed to look like unusual artifacts gathered from across the galaxy. The collection also includes a special nod to Disneyland history, with the Collector adding the legendary Matterhorn Yeti (or Harold as we all know him) to his collection. The designs feature comic book-style artwork, giving the merchandise a bold Marvel-inspired look while celebrating the strange and fascinating items found throughout the Collector's collection. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/tivan-collection-merchandise-collection/ Disneyland has introduced a new ticket system for its popular “Pin Tuesday” merchandise releases in an effort to curb line cutting and guest confrontations. Guests who arrive early receive a dated ticket that must be surrendered when purchasing limited edition pins, making it much harder for anyone to jump the queue. The change follows reports of pushing, arguments, and other disruptive behavior during recent pin drops, and is expected to be used for high-demand releases like the upcoming Kingdom Hearts pins, with the possibility of expanding to other release days if needed. – https://wdwnt.com/2026/08/disneyland-introduces-new-pin-tuesday-ticket-system-due-to-line-cutting-fighting/ SnackChat: Disney has revealed new Halloween food and drink offerings featuring spooky treats, themed desserts, and seasonal snacks throughout the parks.

Two years ago, Disney made us nearly 50 promises at D23 Expo 2024. This year, they have to keep them.So what will Disney actually reveal at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event?I'm going park by park, resort by resort, and all the way around the world with my predictions for the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase. Villains Land. Piston Peak. Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress. Space Mountain and Tomorrowland. Journey Into Imagination. Spaceship Earth. Monstropolis. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Tropical Americas. Expedition Everest. Avengers Campus. Pandora at Disney California Adventure. Disney Cruise Line, Disneyland Paris, Shanghai Disneyland, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Disneyland Abu Dhabi and more.I don't think this is another year of dozens of brand new promises. I think this is the year Disney has to show us what is real, what has changed, when we might actually experience it, and what may be quietly slipping away while nobody was looking.Do we finally find out what Villains Land is really going to be called? I have a theory, and it starts with a mountain. Could Figment and Dreamfinder finally return to EPCOT, and what if the answer isn't the one we've all been asking for? Is Tomorrowland quietly undergoing a complete transformation? Does Disney's Animal Kingdom finally get a nighttime spectacular? And what is the one surprise that nobody sees coming?Some of these are possible. Some are wild cards. And some are simply fun to dream about. That is part of what makes D23 so special.

Fans can celebrate this beloved attraction and its history with none other than Tony Baxter at the Walt Disney Family Museum. On April 4th, at 1pm a special presentation will be held to give theme park fans a peek behind the attraction with the Disney Legend. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/wdfm-tony-baxter-indiana-jones-adventure/ World Compliment Day is celebrated on March 1st every year, and Disney got in on the fun to celebrate – and compliment – cast members! More than 3 million mobile cast compliments have been shared by guests at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. At Disneyland, we have had personal experience with the most complimented cast member, Luis, who is a PhotoPass photographer.

After nearly a decade away, Rick returns to Disneyland and California Adventure with his family—almost to the exact week he last visited in 2016. In this solo episode, he reflects on growing up with Disney in the '90s, becoming a full-fledged Annual Pass Disney fanatic from 2008–2016, and what it felt like to walk back through the gates ten years later.From Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and Avengers Campus to Lightning Lanes, mobile ordering, merch disappointments, and the evolution of the Disney experience, Rick shares an honest, fun, and thoughtful perspective on what's changed—and what hasn't.

The Boring Company has been selected to build an underground transit system connecting Universal Orlando's parks, EPCOT's Flower and Garden Festival 2026 details are here, Avengers Campus expansion hits a major milestone at Disney California Adventure, and Six Flags Gold Passes now include 11 West Region parks. Plus: Disney Wish heads to Europe for the first time and a new Disney Princess collection from Bath and Body Works drops tomorrow.

Fireworks before sunrise, yoga in the cold, and a finish line that felt like a farewell—this Disneyland race weekend had a different kind of electricity. We open with Miss Piggy's cameo on the castle screen and roll straight into the expo's virtual queue scramble, a quick detour through misplaced bib drama, and a check-in with Jeff and Barbara Galloway that left us optimistic and grateful. Between merch scarcity, the Dumbo hoodie frenzy, and smarter PhotoPass ops, the weekend balanced magic with mechanics in classic runDisney fashion.The 5K reminded us why the west coast course is beloved: quiet fireworks, a park-start and park-finish, and sunrise over Pixar Pier. A surprise “balloon lady” sighting and a late-course cut around Avengers Campus created some confusion, but the joy still landed. The 10K leaned into imagination—Sorcerer Mickey everywhere, Figment looping in our heads, and backstage Easter eggs like the Tower of Terror sign and A Bug's Life props. Photo lines moved faster, and runners helped each other grab those castle shots when photographers cleared out near the back.The half marathon tied it all together. Early laps through DCA, then a thoughtful route across Anaheim with out-and-backs that turned the race into a reunion. The 501st brought free hugs and big energy; third-shift custodial cast cheered like pros. We talk pacing with run-walk-run, efficient PhotoPass at small world and Millennium Falcon, and the thrill of a fast finish that also marked a 100th RunDisney medal. The DCA picnic-area meetup overflowed—cookies, bracelets, and the best conversations of the weekend—proof that this community keeps the magic alive long after the medals are hung.We close with the question on everyone's mind: will runDisney return to Disneyland? Some of us think yes, but not soon; others felt a real goodbye in Carissa's voice. Either way, the stories, tips, and friendships from this weekend are here to keep you moving. If you had a favorite moment from the races—or a prediction about what's next—drop us a note, subscribe, and share this with a friend who needs a little start line magic.Manny Runs DisneyRise and Run LinksRise and Run Podcast Facebook PageRise and Run Podcast InstagramRise and Run Podcast Website and ShopRise and Run PatreonSend us a textSupport the showRise and Run Podcast is supported by our audience.

The Anaheim Police Department said that about 60 guests were trapped in the attraction. Passengers were reportedly stuck from around 3:30 in the afternoon to 7 in the evening. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2026/01/08/60-people-evacuate-monorail-after-power-failure-in-disneyland/#more-1096887 Last Wednesday, another attraction was not operating at its best.

In this episode, Steph recaps her visit in Anaheim—starting with  getting over being sick over Thanksgiving, skipping a last-minute park reservation, and taking a cozy stroll through Downtown Disney where she did a little (okay, a lot of) shopping. After finishing her work training, she checked into Hotel Lulu and met up with Angel and Lindsay for a fun girls' night at DCA. They enjoyed wine at Sonoma Terrace, Festival of Holidays bites, Monsters Inc., Avengers Campus photos, shopping, and nonstop laughter.The next morning, Steph and the girls had a slow but memorable breakfast at Carnation Café before exploring Main Street, searching for a sweater, taking photos, and riding Storybook Land Canal Boats—where they learned each boat has its own name. The trio also visited Oga's Cantina, filmed content in the Esplanade, and eventually tried the red velvet Mickey waffles at Smooshies after a lost order mishap.Once the girls left, Steph enjoyed a peaceful solo evening in Disneyland—catching holiday entertainment, grabbing a Cobb salad at Plaza Inn, riding Pirates, and ending the night with castle photos. A brief panic set in when she realized she'd left her car keys in the trunk earlier, but luckily everything was safe.A whirlwind of Disney magic, girl time, and holiday moments—told through Steph's cozy, heartfelt adventures.Thank you to all of my listeners, friends and supporters!

Join Erik and Tage this week as they are joined by Sara and J.R. as they discuss If they would have kept Bugs Land, Avengers Campus, or changed it into something else, their favorite Disney villains, what modern rooboots they would like to see for today's technology and sensibilities, and what would make them stop going to the parks. Support the podcast by going to https://www.thehubcrawl.com/support. Question 1: Bugs Land was converted to Avengers Campus. Would you keep this the same, or change it to a different theme/land. If so, what would it be? Question 2: Who is your favorite Disney villain and why? Question 3: Is there a classic Disney property that you would like to see get a modern reboot or expansion of sorts, reimagined for today's technologies and sensibilities? Question 4: What would make you stop going to Disney Parks? Are you already there? Maybe closer than you would like, or still a far off nightmare? Bonus Question: For WDW trips – would you rather stay in a nicer room in a moderate resort or a “base level” room in a deluxe resort (assuming the price for each option would be comparable)?

This week, a new addition to Storybook land canal boats, a casting call hints at new entertainment, Rex returns for a new party, interact with the Avengers in a different way, Josh Gad takes guests on a spooktacular ride, we finish our conversation with Brandon from Spirit Jersey, and more! Please support the show if you can by going to https://www.dlweekly.net/support/. Check out all of our current partners and exclusive discounts at https://www.dlweekly.net/promos. News: There has been a lot of speculation on what is happening with Storybook Land Canal Boats at Disneyland since it's refurbishment started. We finally have at least part of an answer! Between the patchwork section and Mr.Toad's section a new Rapunzel tower will rise, with wanted posters for Flynn Rider and a secluded dock with a boat inspired by the film. A trellis on the Casey Jr. bridge will feature twinkling lights and play “When Will My Life Begin?” during the day, and “I See the Light” at night. – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/rapunzels-tower-coming-to-storybook-land-canal-boats-at-disneyland/ Some new live entertainment is coming to the Disneyland Resort. A casting call has gone out for seven improv actors, vocalists, movers, and dancers for a new production. They are also looking for band members to accompany the show. Submissions are open through October 17th. No word on when this show will debut or what it is. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2025/10/02/your-dream-job-is-now-hiring-at-disneyland/ Not too long ago, Rex from Toy Story came to Pixar Pier. He is back, but this time he is ready to party. Partysaurus Rex, which is Rex in his party outfit of a viking hat, with red lochs hanging out, and a few necklaces with colorful beads and a peace sign. You can catch Partysaurus Rex in the 2012 Pixar short Partysaurus Rex, which is part of the Toy Story Toons series. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/partysaurus-rex-meet-and-greet-dca/ There is a new way to interact, and maybe get a photo with, you favorite Avenger. There is a new “Avengers Assemble” moment in Avengers Campus where a few Avengers come out together, are introduced by the F.R.I.D.A.Y. voice over the PA, pose for a group photo in front of the Avengers' jeep, then break up to meet with guests for photos in the area. After a short time, the F.R.I.D.A.Y. voice comes back and informs them they are needed elsewhere, and they disperse. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/avengers-assemble-new-moment-avengers-campus-dca/ One of our favorite previously turned down cast members, and Disney Legend Josh Gad was back at Disneyland recently. This time, he was working the Haunted Mansion. This took place before the Holiday overlay was installed, as he can be seen talking to the caretaker, dancing with the ballroom ghosts, and much more! You might remember that Josh previously worked on the Jungle Cruise as a skipper, was a conductor on the Disneyland Railroad, and worked the Kilimanjaro Safari at Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World. To see his experience, check out the link in our show notes. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2025/10/03/a-disney-celebrity-just-became-a-haunted-mansion-caretaker-and-we-are-so-jealous/ https://youtu.be/UTHSUCKCY8s?si=WHP0bZie-C41dFHb The Broken Spell Lounge at the Disneyland Hotel, which opened back in October of 2024, just now got it's permanent sign. The new sign hangs from the ceiling with a magic wand and twinkling stars surrounding the Broken Spell Lounge name. The lounge is usually open from 4pm to 10pm, with live music daily at 5:30pm, 6:45pm, and 8pm. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2025/10/05/better-late-than-never-something-new-just-arrived-at-a-popular-disney-hotel-lounge/ Not only is Disneyland celebrating 70 years, but so is the Mickey Mouse Club! The Mickey Mickey Mouse Club premiered on October 3, 1955. To celebrate, some new, retro-style merchandise has come to the resort. There are some classic Mickey ears, a Mickey Mouse Club Member jacket, a Mickey plush, tote bag, tee, and more! – https://www.micechat.com/424727-disneyland-news-ticket-increase-aerial-construction-photos/ In the hub at Disneyland, there are pumpkins that represent each land of the park, with a character representative. Adventureland started this Halloween season with Tarzan, but has been swapped to Jose from Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room. This change makes sense since Tarzan's Treehouse has been replaced with the Adventureland Treehouse. It is interesting that they swapped this out mid-season. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disneyland-adventureland-pumpkin-update/ We have a couple of construction updates to tell you about around the resort. First, the Disneyland Hotel security gates near the old ESPN Zone building are still closed, but the new gates are installed and should be open soon. Over in Disney California Adventure, the TWO new Avengers Campus attractions are coming along quickly. The main framing of the building – or buildings, depending on how you look at it is complete. The walls should start to enclose the structure soon. The scale of this structure is massive! – https://www.micechat.com/424727-disneyland-news-ticket-increase-aerial-construction-photos/ SnackChat: Naples Ristorante e Bar – https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/downtown-disney-district/naples-ristorante-e-bar/menus/ Discussion Topic: Creative Director of Spirit Jerseys Brandon Ptasznik https://www.spiritjersey.com – Use code dlweekly10 to get 10% off brandon@spiritjersey.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
