This week is a catch-up: seven news items we hadn't gotten to yet, with a quick read on each.-Oogie Boogie Bash. Disneyland is replacing the Frightfully Fun parade with a Madame Leota's Swinging Wake cavalcade for 2026. For a limited-ticket event, swapping wait-and-watch for come-and-go gives guests more of their evening back, as long as it's well executed. -Magic of Disney Animation. Disney detailed the new Hollywood Studios building, designed as a set of small interactive rooms. This is the micro-visit logic: one room is satisfying, three are satisfying, all of it is satisfying. -Universal United Kingdom Resort. Universal's UK park is now officially named. How it positions itself relative to the existing European market remains an open question, and the company has not addressed it. -Universal Kids Resort. Opens July 1 in Frisco, Texas, at $54 a day, about half the price of a regular Universal ticket, with marketing that leans into appealing to both the child and the caregiver in the same line. -Hagrid's and Tokyo Disney. Universal Orlando pulled Express Pass from Hagrid's, and Tokyo Disney ended free Priority Pass on August 31. Both moves aim to simplify queue systems to restore overall capacity. -Carousel of Progress. Walt Disney World closes the attraction on July 6 to time-shift its scenes from 1900, 1920, and 1940 to 1969, 1985, and 2000, with Walt himself returning as an audio-animatronic. Nostalgia needs a frame of reference, and the original scenes had passed out of living memory, which is the whole point of moving them forward.Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.
This is the Live Call-in Show from this past Sunday night, June 7, 2026! Mike and Scott were back together tonight to take your calls LIVE for the hour! We discussed the situation last week with the delayed registration for the runDisney Princess Half-Marathon and possible solutions to this problem in the future. We also had a more broad discussion on the state of runDisney and if runDisney has "peaked" in how much the Disney Parks brand values this arm. Wade called in from Nebraska with some great thoughts on this topic as a veterans of many races. We also got a great call from Shamus from Florida with a very creative and unique solution to "save" the current assets in the Carousel of Progress by maybe finding them a new home at the Boardwalk!

Send us Fan MailAre some Disney attractions truly timeless...or do we love them because they've become part of Disney history?This week, Scott and Karen tackle one of the more interesting debates in Disney fandom. They take a fresh look at some of Walt Disney World's most beloved classic attractions and ask a simple question:If this attraction opened for the very first time tomorrow, would it still become a fan favorite?From Carousel of Progress and Country Bear Musical Jamboree to Living with the Land, the PeopleMover, Spaceship Earth, the Tiki Room, and more, they put Disney classics to the test. Which attractions stand on their own merits? Which ones benefit from decades of nostalgia? And are there a few surprises along the way?Along the way, Scott and Karen discuss what makes an attraction truly great, how nostalgia shapes the Disney experience, and whether history alone is enough to keep an attraction relevant for future generations of guests.In This Episode:What makes a Disney attraction "timeless"Attractions that would still be hits if they opened todayAttractions that may rely heavily on nostalgiaThe challenge of separating history from qualityWhy some classic experiences continue to resonate with modern audiencesThe role nostalgia plays in Disney fandomQuestion of the Week:Which Disney attraction would still be a huge hit if it opened tomorrow, and which attraction do you think survives mostly because of nostalgia?Connect with us and join the conversation on social media.Thanks for listening to The Mickeyphile Podcast!

868 · Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress: History, Debate & What's NextThe Carousel of Progress reimagining announcement sparked one of the most passionate Disney fan conversations in recent memory. Some fans are excited. Others are heartbroken. Many are somewhere in between.And all of it makes complete sense - because this attraction isn't just a show. For a lot of us, it's a memory. A person. A moment that lives somewhere deep.But before you land on how you feel, there's a story you need to hear. One that starts not with the announcement - but in the 1950s, with Walt Disney himself, and an idea that never made it off the drawing board. Because when you understand where Carousel of Progress actually came from, and how many times it has already changed, what Disney just announced looks like something very different.In Episode 868, we trace the complete history - from Edison Square to the 1964 World's Fair to every revision across six decades - and into every detail of what is coming in 2027. The new scenes. The Walt Disney animatronic. The off-planet finale drawn from John Hench's original concept art. The fan reaction breakdown. And the case, built on Walt's own words, for why the carousel moving again after 30 years might be exactly what he always intended.
Brian kicks things off by celebrating his anniversary and shares some love for his sweet, wonderful Cory brings listeners up to speed on the latest Oreo news before the guys recap their recent show at Silverstone Castle and the outstanding job Lucas Estrella did hosting the event. Then the conversation turns to the LEGO community as Brian fills Cory in on the Bricks & Minifigs controversy that's been making waves. Cory, never one to miss an opportunity, tries to get Brian to reveal some personal LEGO information before diving into a discussion about LEGO collecting, collecting etiquette, and the unwritten rules every collector should know. The focus then shifts from Brian's passion to Cory's as the boys break down the announced updates coming to Disney's Carousel of Progress. Naturally, they can't help but brainstorm their own ideas for what a modernized version of the classic attraction could look like. And because they're Rhode Islanders, they wrap things up by discussing the newest reality TV announcement that has everyone talking: The Real Housewives of Rhode Island. It's a packed episode filled with love, laughs, LEGO drama, Disney nostalgia, and plenty of Rhode Island chaos. #WickedFunnyPodcast #LEGO #Disney #ComedyPodcast #RhodeIsland
