Steph recaps day one of a two-day Disneyland trip with Angel and Lindsay for the “70 Years of Favorites” After Dark event. After a minor parking-structure collision with no damage, the host enters Disneyland, meets friends, eats at Docking Bay 7, shops for merchandise, and takes Cars Land PhotoPass photos with Lightning McQueen before riding Little Mermaid and Soarin'. The group dines at Carthay Circle, then attends the After Dark event for photo ops, dancing, snacks, and rides, but finds the event lackluster and leaves early.Thank you to all of my listeners, friends and supporters!

This week's Disney Dish mixes a packed Walt Disney World news round-up with a deeply nostalgic trip through one of Disney-MGM Studios' most beloved lost attractions. Jim and Len break down a wave of reopening dates, new discount strategy, annual passholder survey oddities, and a fresh round of listener questions before returning to Jim's ongoing history of The Great Movie Ride. The main story this time shifts backstage, focusing on the cast members, timing, choreography, and split-second performance work that made the attraction feel so alive. It is part park operations deep dive, part oral history, and pure Disney nerd catnip. NEWS • Walt Disney World rolls out a cluster of reopening dates, including Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin on April 8, Soarin' Around America and Bluey at Animal Kingdom on May 26, plus more returning offerings later this summer. • Disney also unveils new summer and fall offers, including free dining and a 4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket, signaling a coordinated push to fill rooms after the spring reopening window. • Universal Studios Hollywood begins ride cycling Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift, offering a first look at the drifting ride vehicle tech expected to influence the Orlando version. • Disney names Thomas Mazloum chairman of Disney Experiences, setting off a broader leadership reshuffle across Disneyland, Parks International, and Consumer Products. • A new annual passholder survey raises eyebrows by spotlighting Zootopia-themed offerings at Animal Kingdom, fueling more speculation about where Disney may lean with that IP in the future. FEATURE • Jim continues the history of The Great Movie Ride by focusing on the cast members who brought the attraction to life, from auditioning tour guides to the performers who earned the right to play the gangster and bank robber. • The episode explores the ride's hidden operational complexity, including synchronized tram timing, live performance beats, emergency exits, and the backstage choreography required to make two different versions of the attraction work at once. • Jim also shares stories about effects changes, guest complaints, on-the-job mishaps, and the strong sense of community that kept former cast members emotionally attached to the attraction long after its 2017 closure. • The result is a vivid look at why The Great Movie Ride was not just a ride system and a script, but a live performance machine that depended on timing, talent, and nerves.

PCA Violence Prevention Educators (VPEs) Emily Grant and Alyson Doty discuss how the children's show "Bluey" models healthy relationships, boundary setting, and emotional intelligence. They highlight how Bluey's parents exemplify empathetic, patient, and emotionally regulated parenting for their children, Bluey and Bingo. The show teaches children the importance of repairing conflicts, setting boundaries, and respecting each other's feelings. It also challenges traditional gender roles by portraying both parents as active caregivers. Reflecting on episodes like "Yoga Ball," "Wagon Ride," and "Stick Bird," the hosts highlight how the show demonstrates practical ways to navigate boundary setting and emotions. Emily and Alyson emphasize the show's relevance to adults seeking to improve their emotional intelligence and parenting skills. Lastly, they focus on the importance of having fun as parents, educators, and adults through watching shows like "Bluey"!If you are in crisis and need immediate support, please call our 24/7 interpersonal violence helpline at 303-556-2255.Request an Appointment with an Advocate athttps://www.thepca.org/online-appointment-requestRequest a Violence Prevention Presentation at https://www.thepca.org/prevention-educationInstagram @phoenixauraria

This week let’s learn about some blue frogs! Further reading: Scientists make chance discovery of rare blue skin mutation in Kimberley magnificent tree frog White's True-Blue Green Tree Frog Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. When most of us draw a frog, we reach for the green markers, because most frogs are green. That's true of the magnificent tree frog, also called the splendid tree frog, which is fairly common in the Kimberley region of western Australia. It grows just over 4 inches long, snout to vent, or about 10 and a half cm, and lives in rocky areas. It spends the day hiding in rock crevices, holes in trees, or sometimes in people's houses, and it comes out at night to hunt for insects and other small invertebrates. From the name, you might imagine that this is an especially pretty frog, and it is. It's mostly bright green on top and yellow to white underneath, and it has tiny yellow spots on its head and back. It looks like it has an olive green cap on its head, but that's actually a large parotoid gland, a skin gland common in frogs and toads that secretes neurotoxins. Most frogs don't have a parotoid gland at all, and in ones that do you typically will barely notice it, but the magnificent tree frog's covers the entire top of its head almost to its nostrils and down onto its back. The skin color of a frog depends on its chemical makeup. Melanophores make black and brown colors, xanthophores make yellow. Blue is different, since it's not a color that's actually found in skin pigments. Instead, a green frog's skin contains iridophores that reflect blue light waves, the same way a bird's feathers show blue. The combination of yellow and blue makes green, and the addition of melanophore pigments determine how dark or bright the green is. In July of 2024, two land managers were working in the Charnley River-Artesian Range Wildlife Sanctuary. They were in a workshop when one of them noticed a magnificent tree frog sitting on a bench, not that unusual of an occurrence–except that this frog wasn't green. It was blue! The condition is called axanthism, where the yellow pigments in the frog's skin don't show up the way they should. Most of them time axanthism in frogs means the animal has little patches of blue or bluish coloration, but this specific frog was blue just about everywhere it should have been green. Its parotoid gland was still olive green and it had yellow on its feet, but mainly it was a very attractive dark blue. The land managers were stunned. They took photos and sent them to pretty much everyone, and frog experts and ecologists hurried to examine the blue frog. But they decided not to keep the frog in captivity. It was released back into the wild to live out its blue froggy life normally. Some frogs are naturally blue, like some poison dart frogs of South America. The blue poison dart frog's legs are dark blue and its body a lighter blue with black spots. It grows less than two inches long, or about 4.5 cm. Poison dart frogs collect toxins in their bodies from some of the toxic insects they eat, and the bright coloration signals to predators that this frog will make you really sick if you eat it. Axanthism is rare but not all that uncommon in frogs. About the same time that the blue magnificent tree frog was hopping into the workshop in Australia, two little girls playing around a pond in Nova Scotia, Canada found a teal-blue frog. Ironically, the frog is actually called the green frog and it's ordinarily a dark olive-green all over. The girls named the frog Bluey and released it back into the pond. Another blue green frog was found in New Hampshire, in the United States, also in July 2024. In June 2024 a forest ranger spotted a northern leopard frog in Washington state that had splotches of light blue on its head and back. In May of 2024 a light blue Japanese tree frog was found by a couple on a walk. The Australian green tree frog is closely related to the magnificent tree frog, although it doesn't have a parotoid gland hat. It's mostly green with a white or pale gray belly. It's sometimes called the dumpy tree frog because it's a little chonk. Actually, for a frog it's a pretty big chonk, up to 4 and a half inches long, or over 11 cm. It's also sometimes called White's tree frog after John White, who described it in 1790. It was the first Australian frog that was ever scientifically described. But that leads us to a little mystery. John White named the frog Rana caerulea. Its current scientific name is Ranoidea caerulea. But “caerulea” refers to the color blue, not green, as in cerulean blue. John White collected the frog in 1788, preserved it in alcohol, and finally described it two years later. He refers to it in his writing as a blue frog and the illustration accompanying it shows frogs that are actually blue. But this frog is supposed to be green! The main suggestion for why a famously green frog was initially described as blue is that the alcohol that White used to preserve the frog's body actually destroyed the yellow pigment in its skin. This is something that does sometimes happen with frog specimens in museums. But it's also possible that White ended up with a blue specimen, much like the blue magnificent tree frog we talked about earlier. He wouldn't have known that the blue frog had a rare color mutation. That would explain why he referred to the frog as blue and gave it a name that means blue. That might also explain why White described the Australian green tree frog first. Maybe he just thought it was pretty. Everyone likes the color blue. Thanks for your support, and thanks for listening! I'm at Dragon Con this weekend, where who knows, I might actually see a blue frog. Anything is possible at Dragon Con.

Joey went down a rabbit hole yesterday about getting a sunburn or tan in the winter. He didn’t realize that the UV rays could still be strong when it’s not hot outside. Karly pointed out that he always says to be careful on cool summer days because you can still get burnt... He denied this. Nancy went to a networking event and had to do icebreakers to get to know people. Usually they are boring, but this one was fun! She and her table had to make a playlist of songs that described them. Nancy recommended a Jelly Roll song, and it led to her talking about how her 87-year-old dad has started getting tattoos. Hot Tea: A documentary about Lainey Wilson is coming soon to Netflix. The highest streamed show of 2025 was Bluey. Kendall Jenner called Tom Brady while on the Jimmy Fallon Show to talk about The Super Bowl. Joey’s wife loves to take freebies from hotels. Recently, she really liked the shampoo in the bathroom, but it was attached to the wall. Her solution was to pump a bunch of it into a coffee cup and take that home with her. A Cincinnati snowplow driver escorted an ambulance through a snowstorm to help a sick baby get to the hospital. Lucky 7 for $50 to the Copper Cellar Family of Restaurants TDOT spent over $2 MILLION dollars to treat the roads with brine and salt ahead of last weekend’s winter weather. Apparently, we may be getting snow this weekend. Joey wished he would’ve known that before he canceled his electric snow shovel order. Weird stories out of Oregon! 1- Two women in a small town organized a nude calendar to help raise money for a town snowplow. All of the models were older people, and their private areas were concealed by props. So, the calendar is not X-rated—it's actually pretty funny! 2- Columbias, the outdoor brand, has partnered with an Oregon brewery to make bear poop infused beer.

This week on Disney Dish, Jim Hill and Len Testa dig into a deceptively simple question with big implications for trip planning: when exactly did “summer vacation” stop being peak season at Walt Disney World?
