Magic Our Way presents the fictional, or creative, backstory of Dinoland U.S.A. at Disney's Animal Kingdom over in Walt Disney World. This is not the real history of the design and development of this land but rather the fictional story created by the Imagineers to tie everything together. You'll hear about Dr. Dunn, Chester and Hester Diggs, and Dr. Helen Marsh. The backstory is forever preserved in this podcast. What do you think about this backstory? How do you feel about the closing of Chester and Hester's Dino-Rama? We would love to hear from you. Let us know at show@magicourway.com. Every opinion will forever be welcome on this Disney fan podcast. This is show #563.

817 · Music of Disney's Animal Kingdom   Disney's Animal Kingdom has a soundtrack unlike any other park - one that immerses us in nature, culture, and adventure. From the peaceful Oasis entrance music to the high-energy beats of Harambe, the ethereal sounds of Pandora, and even the kitschy rock vibes of DinoLand, USA, every note plays a role in the park's storytelling. This week, I take you on an audio journey through the music of Disney's Animal Kingdom, exploring how its music enhances the experience, the live performances that bring it to life, and even a look ahead at what we might hear in the upcoming Tropical Americas expansion.

In the 217th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are super pumped about the weekend that was -- the D23: Ultimate Fan Event has concluded, and there is SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT. So much, in fact, that the entire podcast crew is here -- #KylaKylaKyla and Quasi Producer Heather, aka The Moana Mom, joins Jenn & Dave to discuss everything.  From the top of the show, with Patrick giving an intro, we cover overseas parks, the confusion of Fortnite, all the new ships coming, Avengers stuff in Disneyland, Coco getting a ride, and even Avatar. And crying over Walt. Then, we take a long look at Walt Disney World, from the expected updates (Indiana Jones... confirmed! Encanto... confirmed!) and the surprises (Monsters Inc?! Cars?!) to the delights (new nighttime parade), and of course... the villains. Also, how we all feel about losing Tom Sawyer Island as well as DinoLand, what Disney did right and what they may have missed during the weekend, and Jenn's super joy about losing the Bugs.

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.   Submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode.

Dear Santa, We have been very very good this year and think that for 2024, we would like a few things to make Disney a little more merry and bright. Could you help us out a bit? We have some simple requests like more shade and maybe bringing Gideon's into the parks. But we also feel like our friend, the imaginative, but unfriendly-looking dragon, needs a little visit from the Botched TV show doctors to give him and his ride a little face lift. And while we're at it, maybe we could give Dinoland a little face lift as well and finally put the rightful king in his place. And could we please bring back the immersive experiences? There's a lot more, but to find it all out, you're going to have to listen to this podcast, which I think you'll enjoy because…whimsy. Anyway, thanks for all you do with the toys and stuff.
