What's it really like to visit Walt Disney World during the holidays? Doug shares a full trip report—from flying Breeze out of Lincoln Airport to ringing in the New Year (Early) in the parks. Episode Description The holidays are one of the busiest—and most magical—times at Walt Disney World, and Doug just lived it. In this episode of Rope Drop Radio, Doug breaks down his holiday Disney World trip report, including flights, resorts, dining, rope drops, crowds, and seeing some attractions for the final time. From flying Breeze Airways out of Lincoln Airport to staying at Disney's BoardWalk Inn, Doug walks through what worked, what surprised him, and what listeners should know if they're planning a holiday or New Year's Disney trip. If you've ever wondered whether a Christmas or New Year's Disney trip is worth it, this episode gives you the honest, boots-on-the-ground perspective. Episode Highlights ✈️ Flying Breeze out of Lincoln Airport
We're putting Disney's Old Key West Resort head-to-head with Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa to see which laid-back villa resort comes out on top.Both resorts offer spacious accommodations, boat access to Disney Springs, and a slower, more relaxed pace than your typical theme park hotel—but they go about it in very different ways. Old Key West brings Florida Keys charm, oversized villas, and that “this feels like home” energy that longtime DVC fans love. Saratoga Springs counters with elegant Victorian theming, newer-feeling rooms, Treehouse Villas, and one of the best locations for easy Disney Springs access.We break things down round by round, comparing theming and atmosphere, room size and comfort, dining options, transportation and walkability, recreation and amenities, and overall value for your vacation dollars or DVC points. As always, we leave the final decision open during the episode so you can play along at home and decide which resort deserves the crown. Is bigger always better? Does location beat nostalgia? And which one truly delivers the best Disney resort experience?Grab your scorecard, settle in, and let the Resort Wars begin.
NASA makes history after announcing it will return four astronauts home early in the first-ever medical evacuation from the International Space Station, raising questions about safety, preparedness, and what went wrong in orbit. Back on Earth, tragedy strikes much closer to home with a deadly shooting in Sylmar stemming from a family dispute, ending in a murder-suicide that shocks the community. Sports and headlines collide as rumors swirl around Travis Kelce’s possible retirement, and we pivot to a lighter but timely moment wishing Dean Sharp — The House Whisperer — a happy birthday before diving into one of Southern California’s biggest ongoing issues: rebuilding after devastating fires. Dean breaks down the growing controversy over permits, why hundreds of millions of dollars aren’t going where people think they are, and just how expensive — and complicated — rebuilding has become. The conversation continues with serious concerns about whether the flood of rebuilding plans could lead to mistakes in places like Altadena and the Palisades, plus clarity on ADUs, temporary tax relief, and how housing policy is trying to keep up with demand. And just when you think the day can’t get stranger, emergency crews are forced to evacuate people off the Disneyland Monorail after it’s stuck in place for more than two and a half hours — proving even the “Happiest Place on Earth” isn’t immune to chaos. Space, tragedy, housing headaches, and Disney drama — all in one unforgettable hour.
Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesAs has become par for the course these last few weeks, Marvel Studios released the third Avengers: Doomsday trailer, which focuses on the X-Men, Tuesday morning after an exclusive week run attached to theatrical showings of Avatar Fire and Ash. Sebastian Stan is in talks to join The Batman Part II opposite Robert Pattinson and Scarlett Johansson, making him the second Marvel Cinematic Universe alum to jump to Matt Reeves' Gotham. The Oscar-nominated Apprentice star, best known for playing Bucky Barnes aka the Winter Soldier in multiple Marvel films, would join returning cast members Colin Farrell, Jeffrey Wright and Andy Serkis ahead of spring production for an October 2027 release.Avatar: Fire and Ash crossed the 1 billion dollar mark at the global box office after 18 days in theaters, led by 40 million dollars domestically in its third weekend for a total of 306 million dollars and 777.1 million dollars internationally, making it Disney's third billion-dollar release of 2025. Meanwhile, Netflix's Stranger Things series finale generated between 25 to 28 million dollars from a limited two-day theatrical run across 600 theaters on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, with exhibitors selling concession vouchers rather than traditional tickets and keeping all revenue themselves as an olive branch between the streamer and theaters. Simu Liu has publicly endorsed his Copenhagen Test co-star Melissa Barrera to play Wonder Woman in James Gunn's DC Universe, praising her stunt training as Wonder Woman-esque and calling her a total badass who puts in the work. DC Studios boss James Gunn confirmed in July that Wonder Woman has not been cast yet and won't be discussed until the script is finished, with Supergirl screenwriter Ana Nogueira tapped to write the new Wonder Woman film.Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another dominated the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday night, winning Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay, while Timothée Chalamet won Best Actor for Marty Supreme and Jessie Buckley took Best Actress for Hamnet. Ryan Coogler's Sinners and Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein tied for the most wins with four awards each, with Jacob Elordi scoring a surprise Best Supporting Actor victory for his performance as the Creature in Frankenstein. On the television side, The Pitt won Best Drama while The Studio took Best Comedy, with Adolescence earning four awards including Best Limited Series.Horror director James Wan has expressed interest in directing Avatar 4 if James Cameron decides to step back from the franchise, telling Screen Rant he would love to take a crack at the billion-dollar series. Cameron has indicated he may scale back his hands-on involvement with future Avatar films to pursue other projects, potentially delegating more directorial duties to second unit directors or another filmmaker while remaining as producer.Paramount+ has renewed Mayor of Kingstown for a fifth and final season consisting of eight episodes, down from the usual ten episodes per season. The Taylor Sheridan crime drama starring Jeremy Renner and Edie Falco will conclude after its upcoming season, which follows the bloody Season 4 finale that aired in December 2025.Amazon Prime Video has announced the cast for its Tomb Raider series starring Sophie Turner as Lara Croft, with Sigourney Weaver joining as Evelyn Wallis, a mysterious woman seeking to exploit Lara's talents, and Jason Isaacs as Atlas DeMornay, Lara's uncle. The series, created and co-showrun by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, will also feature several characters from the video game franchise including Bill Paterson as butler Winston and Martin Bobb-Semple as tech support Zip.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show once again: Satanic ritual abuse, MK ULTRA and child trafficking survivor turned whistleblower, loving mother, writer and author of the book “Unplugged”, artist, jewelry and crafter maker, clothing designer, gardener, content creator, and my dear friend, Brooke Federline In case you're new here or if you need a refresher on Brooke's testimony - here is a short recap and a bit about what we will be talking about today: In the misty landscapes of New Zealand's North Island, where rolling hills meet endless skies, Brooke entered the world amid secrets that would define her extraordinary path. Born to parents entangled in a hidden web of cult influences, her early life was a mosaic of fragmented memories, veiled by amnesia – a protective shield forged in the fires of unimaginable trauma. From the outside, her childhood seemed ordinary: school days filled with fleeting friendships, high school marked by hidden struggles, and a quiet resilience that masked the storms within. Yet, beneath it all simmered a darkness – depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms that whispered of horrors she couldn't yet name.As a young woman in her 20s, Brooke sought escape, relocating to New Zealand's South Island amid escalating chaos she could scarcely recall. Relationships came and went, often imposed by unseen forces, including a coerced union laced with emotional and psychological abuse. She resisted marriage and motherhood, instinctively sensing the world's cruelties – a premonition rooted in buried truths about the world orchestrated by shadowy powers. But life persisted: after turning 30, she welcomed children into her life, a decision that would later bring forth her protective instincts against the very cycles she had endured.It was at university, pursuing psychology and criminal justice with dreams of forensics, that Brooke's world shattered – or rather, awakened. A lecture on the Power and Control Wheel, exposing the wrongs of psychological, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, ignited a seismic shift. "That's been my whole life," she realized, as her mind recoiled from the "normal" she had known. What followed was a breakthrough disguised as a breakdown: vivid "dreams" revealed as real events, dissociation surged like a tidal wave, and fragments of her psyche emerged – alters born from trauma, including echoes of Disney archetypes like Beauty and the Beast, unwitting imprints from mind control programming.Diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder, Brooke unraveled layers of her past - each memory holding pieces of a puzzle: child sex trafficking, Satanic ritual abuse, and MK ULTRA experiments...On today's episode, Brooke will be diving into healing and recovery with a discussion about breaking mind control, spiritual deliverance, the battle survivors face when getting free, and so much more. If you are new to meeting Brooke, I will have her playlist in the show notes for you to catchup on her previous episodes.BROOKE'S PLAYLIST ON 'THE IMAGINATION': https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoojlrL9wVRO2l0-s7Do42gYFNQF9t3diCONNECT WITH BROOKE:YouTube: @brookefederline3109 Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/nz/shop/LettherebeLight3Telegram: https://t.me/BrookeFederlineIG: https://www.instagram.com/brookefederline/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brookie4233CONNECT WITH EMMA: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Support the show

A jaw-dropping Star Wars rumor is making waves across the fandom. Reports claim that Star Wars: Starfighter will feature a lightsaber duel partially shot and directed by Tom Cruise, and on today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down how this could actually happen, why Cruise may be involved behind the camera, and whether this bold creative choice makes sense for Lucasfilm's future. We also cover a packed slate of movie and streaming news. Disney has officially found the two leads for its live-action Tangled, sparking debate over casting choices and remake fatigue. DC fans get a major update as rumors swirl around Sebastian Stan's potential role in The Batman – Part II, and what it could mean for Matt Reeves' expanding Gotham universe. On the streaming side, Disney+ is reportedly rolling out a vertical video feed, raising questions about how platforms are adapting to short-form viewing habits. Meanwhile, Netflix users experienced minor outages that may be connected to the ongoing "Conformity Gate" situation. We also react to the explosive new trailer for The Wrecking Crew starring Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista.

As the calendar flips to a brand-new year, Jim Hill and Lauren Hersey kick things off by looking ahead to what's shaping up to be a massive 2026 for Disney merch fans. From milestone anniversaries Disney rarely shouts about to a packed slate of films and park changes, this episode breaks down why collectors should start paying attention now. And later in the show, Jim dives deep into a Disney history lesson about a beautifully ambitious animated film that failed spectacularly - and how that misfire accidentally paved the way for one of Disney's most merch-friendly franchises ever. NEWS • Why 2026 is stacked with Disney anniversaries, including Disneyland's 70th, DCA's 25th, and multiple film milestones • Major franchise birthdays like High School Musical (20), Cars (20), Zootopia (10), Moana (10), and 101 Dalmatians (65) • How Pixar's 40th anniversary and its long partnership with Disney could influence upcoming releases • A look at 2026 movies driving merch, including Toy Story 5, The Mandalorian and Grogu, and live-action Moana • Big park changes ahead, from Galaxy's Edge updates to Disneyland Paris becoming Disney Adventure World FEATURE • Why Sleeping Beauty was one of Disney's most expensive animated gambles - and why it failed at the box office • How that failure led Disney to completely rethink animation budgets and storytelling • The surprising connection between Sleeping Beauty's loss and the creation of One Hundred and One Dalmatians • How that pivot ultimately set the stage for decades of Cruella-driven merch success HOSTS • Jim Hill - IG: @JimHillMedia | X: @JimHillMedia | Website: JimHillMedia.com • Lauren Hersey - X: @laurenhersey2 | IG: @lauren_hersey_ FOLLOW • Facebook: JimHillMediaNews • Instagram: JimHillMedia • TikTok: JimHillMedia SUPPORT Support the show and access bonus episodes and additional content at Patreon.com/JimHillMedia.

Disneyland Handcrafted documentary debuts January 22, 2026 on Disney Plus and Disney YouTube, and I had the extraordinary opportunity to interview filmmaker Leslie Iwerks at the Walt Disney Studios Lot in Burbank, California about her new film. "Disneyland Handcrafted reveals the extraordinary artistry and grit it took hundreds of craftspeople to bring Walt Disney's impossible dream project of Disneyland to fruition – from groundbreaking to Opening Day on July 17, 1955." (Disney Plus). "An Oscar and Emmy nominated filmmaker, Leslie Iwerks comes from a family steeped in Disney legacy. The granddaughter of Ub Iwerks (Walt Disney's original animator and designer/co-creator of Mickey Mouse) and the daughter of Don Iwerks (a Disney camera technician and inventor), Leslie is the producer and director of the new documentary film."

During a routine visit to the Walt Disney World attraction the Seas with Nemo and Friends, I witnessed a terrifying phenomenon that didn't align with any normal operation or maintenance issue. The attraction was shut down shortly after, and no public reason was ever given.

Do you think of your mid-century home as historic? Maybe you don't. After all, MCM stands for mid-century MODERN. But these houses are all 50 to 75 years old at this point. That's getting up there! Because of that, I am bringing you a conversation with my favorite expert on caring for historic homes, Scott Sidler, the historic window whisperer. In his opinion, mid-century homes and our original windows may or may not be obviously historic.And we are really on the same page about the intended permanence of mid-century houses and everything built before. They were meant to be repaired and maintained for long periods of time. As far as Scott and I are concerned, this is where historic and mid-century are perfectly aligned. I wasn't halfway through this conversation before I started to wonder to myself, did we just become best friends?In Today's Episode You'll Hear:How Scott went from Disney performer to historic window wizard. Why your windows might be experimental rather than historic. Where to find the right methods and materials to keep your original windows in service for years to come.

As we enter 2026 we continue our celebration of Disneyland's 70th anniversary with a look at Mickey's Toon Town. One of the newer places on the map, this little corner beyond Fantasyland is filled with whimsy and charm. We share with you how the concept came about, due in large part to three major influences of that time--Including Snoopy! We look at the original Toon Town and compare it to how it looks today, to include the addition of Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Train. It's the same attraction as the one at Disney's Hollywood Studios, but it isn't because of an amazing queue. We'll talk all about that, and other little details of this town built on celluloid. Join us during Disneyland's 70th anniversary where we celebrate Mickey's Toon Town! ________________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

Welcome back to Marvel Us Disney for the first episode of 2026, where Jim Hill and Dan Graney kick off the year by looking at how Marvel is embracing chaos, memory, and unfinished business. From carefully timed leaks and legacy character returns to the stories and creators who never quite got their final chapter, this episode connects Marvel's current strategy to the people and moments that shaped it. Along the way, the conversation takes some thoughtful detours into Hollywood history, creator recognition, and one very famous Spider-Man movie that almost happened. NEWS • Marvel's early-2026 rollout leans into controlled chaos, with Avengers: Doomsday teasers, overseas trailer ratings, and leaks that feel increasingly intentional • The return of legacy characters like Steve Rogers, Thor, and the X-Men signals a broader strategy, not just nostalgia • Why Marvel's staggered teaser strategy may be quietly helping Avatar: Fire and Ash dominate IMAX screens • Disney+ quietly drops all episodes of Wonder Man at once, adding it to the growing list of well-liked Marvel TV “orphans” • A meaningful tribute to Jack Kirby in New York City highlights how recognition sometimes comes from community, not corporations FEATURE • The origin of James Cameron's unmade Spider-Man film, including scripts, tone, and planned villains • How Cameron's darker, more adult take on Peter Parker clashed with a legal maze of rights and lawsuits • Why this unrealized project still explains Spider-Man's endless adaptability across reboots and eras • How Marvel's biggest “what ifs” continue to echo through today's franchise decisions HOSTS • Jim Hill - IG: @JimHillMedia | X: @JimHillMedia | Website: JimHillMedia.com • Dan Graney - Website: thehubbubbery.com FOLLOW • Facebook: JimHillMediaNews • Instagram: JimHillMedia • TikTok: JimHillMedia SUPPORT Support the show and access bonus episodes and additional content at Patreon.com/JimHillMedia.

The film covers the creation of Disneyland with rare, first-hand archival footage leading up to the opening in July, 1955. Leslie Iwerks and her team searched through over 100 hours of raw material from Disneyland in its earliest days. - https://disneyparksblog.com/disney-experiences/disneyland-handcrafted-release-date-and-more-details/ The first part of the Disneyland Forward project has a permit, with work beginning soon. The permit is for a 3.2 million square foot, 8-level open parking structure with 302 EV charging spots. This is the first part that needs to be completed before the additional capacity can be built and opened with the rest of the project. The new structure should hold 6,000 vehicles and feature a rideshare area, and transit hub. Construction is predicted to begin after runDisney at the end of January, since the space is currently used to facilitate the event. - https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disneyland-files-permit-for-eastern-parking-structure/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioc6c8v6HIY At the milk stand in Galaxy's Edge, we have had blue milk, green milk, and now a new color - pink milk! Starting January 8th, the new variation will be available at the milk stand in Batuu. No official word on what flavor the drink will be, but it could be something like watermelon. - https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2026/01/06/move-over-blue-milk-pink-milk-debuts-at-disney-this-week/ https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/pink-milk-star-wars-galaxys-edge-marvel-comics/ Walt Disney Imagineering is bringing a more and more common home process to the parks. Haddy, a 3D printing company, has partnered with Disney to create a boat that will be installed in The Jungle Cruise as a prop. The process from design to completion will be sped up with the 3D printing process, as opposed to the previous molding process that could take thousands of hours to get just right. The new 3D printing technique only takes 70 robot hours. - https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2025/12/22/news-disney-uses-3d-printing-to-create-new-ride-elements/ As the holiday season winds down, the refurbishment calendar is heating up.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I'm joined by the dynamic Neelu Kaur, organizational psychologist, self-advocacy champion, author, and keynote speaker. Neelu dispels the myth that self-advocacy is boastful, and we discuss how advocating for yourself can actually be a generous and empowering act. She shares how leaders and teams can create environments where all voices are heard, exploring the innovative concept of "generous exclusion," and the importance of dialing up the "I" or the "we" when the moment calls for it. Neelu also suggests some great practical strategies for promoting authentic self-advocacy in any organization. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why self-advocacy is often misunderstood as boastful and how to reframe it as essential for innovation What "generous exclusion" means, and how being intentional about who participates can lead to more creative outcomes How different processing styles impact participation in meetings, and what leaders can do to create safer spaces for all voices Why structure is necessary for big, creative thinking, and how frameworks borrowed from organizations like Disney help teams brainstorm and dream without self-censoring Understanding what energizes individuals creates a more productive, collaborative environment What practical steps you can take to build self-advocacy skills How Speaking Up Transforms Teams and Unlocks Personal Potential So many people, particularly women, introverts, or those from cultures that value humility, see self-advocacy as something selfish or boastful. Neelu turns this assumption on its head, describing self-advocacy as the most generous act you can do. By speaking up, you model positive behaviors for others, making it easier for those who follow in your footsteps to do the same. When you advocate for yourself, whether it's sharing an idea in a meeting or negotiating your role, you're not just advancing your own interests. You're opening doors, encouraging diversity of thought, and paving the way for colleagues who may face similar barriers. The Barriers to Speaking Up and How to Overcome Them For years, Neelu thought her professional setbacks stemmed from a lack of skills, but she realized she just hadn't learned to advocate for her ideas. Her silence was frequently misread as disengagement, and fast-paced meetings left her behind. To overcome the hurdle of seeing speaking up as boastful, she recommends self-reflection and practical steps, such as practicing self-advocacy in low-stakes situations, like choosing a restaurant for dinner with friends. Leaders and organizations also need to adjust by building meeting structures that allow quieter voices to contribute and encouraging follow-up dialogue beyond real-time meetings. Are We Over-Indexing on Collaboration? Collaboration is praised as the ideal. But as we discuss, simply adding more people to a meeting doesn't guarantee creativity—or even productivity. Neelu highlights the concept of "generous exclusion" by Priya Parker, sharing why being selective about who joins which meetings lets people focus, minimizes inefficiencies, and leaves room for deep work. Organizations often over-index on collaboration, with endless group meetings that crowd out the time needed for innovation. Instead, leaders need to be strategic, invite the right mix of creative minds, give space for diverse strengths, and allow those who need extra processing time to contribute asynchronously.

The gang is all here on Polyphemus's island (and it's not a tropical, relaxing island vacation). This week, we're discussing Disney+'s Percy Jackson and the Olympians Episode 6 of Season 2, "Nobody Gets The Fleece." Percy's fatal flaw is out and about this episode, and we aren't complaining. We say the word "interesting" like 37 times and work on our pronunciation of Thalia. Percy and Annabeth's plan to save Grover and Clarisse doesn't go super well. Tyson reappears and steals all our hearts.

This ai Star Wars stuff is getting too real now...it's insane how fast these creators and artists are learning to use this new technology to give us fans entertaining content. I hope Disney hires them and lets them create official content with George Lucas vision in mind. I wish this technology existed when I started my channel, my fan fictions would have been very entertaining to watch. Technology sure is an interesting thing.
