The holidays are one of our favorite times to visit Walt Disney World—from festive decorations and special characters to holiday treats and even snow on Main Street! A few weeks ago, we headed to Florida to experience two after-hours holiday events: Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom and Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios. In this episode, we break down what each party does best—and where they fall short. In this episode you'll hear: Highlights from Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

Send us a textWhat if your favorite Disney rides got a full holiday glow-up? We poured a Stroopwaffle bourbon coffee and went all-in on seasonal overlays, sketching out scene-by-scene makeovers that keep each attraction's DNA intact while layering in music, projections, scents, and plenty of festive chaos.First up, Space Mountain gets a “Santa's Galactic Delivery” sprint with sleigh-styled cars, poppy Christmas tracks timed to the lift, and rooftop chimney fly-bys racing past in the dark. Pirates of the Caribbean becomes a family holiday fever dream—relatives re-cast as pirates, cats in Santa hats, and a cheeky “Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Nog” soundtrack. Indiana Jones Adventure morphs into Eye of the Forbidden Nutcracker with toy soldier set pieces, Chip and Dale roasting chestnuts, a Santa-faced boulder, and snow effects that turn the dart room into a blizzard.We keep the momentum going with Autopia as a North Pole light drive—minimal changes, maximum magic—ideal for night rides under synchronized holiday lights. Expedition Everest reimagined as Expedition North Pole sets up a cozy Winter Wonderland climb that snaps into Sleigh Ride-speed mayhem with a Disco Santa Yeti. Toy Story Mania goes full Krampus Mania with playful, song-timed targets that make every pull hilariously mischievous. And because projections make quick work of seasonal swaps, Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway turns into a charming Christmas Eve dash: shopping traffic, Daisy's dance party, a last-minute Pluto gift run, and a calm cruise home with a Santa-bearded Chuby.If you love Disney parks, Jollywood Nights, and smart seasonal overlays that deliver fresh thrills without heavy downtime, this one's for you. Hit play, then tell us which ride deserves a holiday makeover and the song you'd score it with. Subscribe, share with your park buddies, and leave a review to help more Disney fans find the show. Cheers to Ears—and cheers to Christmas at the parks!

Disney Holidays This or That - 2025 We recently received a reminder that just about 4 years ago we did a fun little episode base on the Holiday Season that we really enjoyed. Obviously that was quite a bit ago. New wonderful things have been added to the Disney Parks & Resorts. Classic things have changed slightly and others have gone away. So, we thought this would be a great time to revisit and play a new round of Disney Holidays This or That - 2025. Michelle, who is well known as "The Game Show Hostess with the Mostest" will lead us through our seasonal contest. So, you know it's gonna be great! Listen to what Disney Holiday attractions, food and decor she pits against one another and play along to see if our selections match yours. Disney Stories of the Week Once we complete our fun little game of Disney Holidays This or That - 2025, it's time for the Disney Stories of the Week. In this episode, we discuss another box-office record that has been smashed by the Zootopia crew. We also tell you when your last opportunity will come to ride the guest-favorite, rocking attraction at Disney's Hollywood Studios. At least in its current form. Certainly, that's not all. As always, we wrap it all up with tips that might help you on your next Disney vacation.   If you have any comments, questions, or requests to cover a particular topic, please feel free to Contact Us!   We also invite you to join the positive fun in our Hyperion Adventurers Facebook Group as well as our Hyperion Mornings on YouTube for a daily dose of live positive chat!   Thanks for listening! Cheers

Everyone knows that the minute Halloween is over the Disney Parks ready themselves for the Christmas holidays. Disney's Animal Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom seem to up and ready overnight, and in the first week or so of November we were able to see the joy of these parks during this time of year. Epcot, on the other hand, waits patiently until its International Food & Wine Festival is over. Then it readies everything for the holidays right before Thanksgiving. Last week I had the chance to spend not one day, not two days, but three days at Epcot, and was re-immersed in how truly fun this approach to holidays around the world really is. This podcast serves to relive many of those experiences, and to consider some previous podcasts where we highlighted this park during the midst of Covid. Then we turn the podcast over to the music of the park, where we have provided musical enjoyment while you make last minute seasonal preparations. So join us for the 2025 Epcot International Festival of the Holidays. Note that music only begins at 37:45.   ___________________________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

Turns out that there is a section in the West of Wonderland theme park that is vaguely French-themed. This episode is jam packed with important questions and stories, such as: what kind of footwear do you wear when you're sightseeing and/or at a Disney Park? What was it like for Laura to approach and play the first ever show with her band, Little Sister? It also turns out that when dreams become something real, it can mess us up a bit, in a positive direction and show us new textures of our being.

The drums hit before the curry cools, the Muses raise the roof, and a shadow man steals the show—Wesley's maiden voyage on Disney Destiny was packed with moments that surprised in the best ways. We're picking up where we left off last week to continue our look into Disney's newest cruise ship.We dig into Pride Lands' dinner theater, where gorgeous savannah lighting and rich design meet a sound mix that sometimes overwhelms the meal. The food is a genuine highlight—complex, abundant, and anchored by a standout shrimp curry—while we wrestle with the core question: how much concert belongs at the dinner table?Over in the Walt Disney Theatre, Disney Hercules lands with heart and swagger. Updated staging, sharp costumes, and a thoughtful new Meg song bring fresh energy without losing the movie's soul. We talk cast chemistry, why early runs improve fast, and how the Muses keep the momentum humming. Between shows, the ship's narrative threads come alive through interactive touchpoints—Loki's mischief, Cruella's flair, and especially Dr. Facilier's parlor, a 10-minute, worth-the-wait immersion that proves performance can transform a simple room into event theater.Shore days show the contrast between Castaway Cay and Lookout Key. Castaway remains the masterclass in Disney-style storytelling: visual “weenies,” intuitive flow, and that feeling of being guided from ship to sand. Lookout Key dazzles with pink sand, silky water, and quiet snorkeling spots, but it's spread out and light on narrative cues. We share what worked, what needs a Phase 2, and why both stops are worth your time for different reasons. Along the way, we trade practical tips on seating, lines, and sound, debate cruise-ship identity versus theme-park density, and spotlight Version 55.71—Wesley's passion project tracking Disney Parks changes like software updates (https://version5571.com).If you're weighing a maiden voyage, curious about Pride Lands, or planning days at Castaway and Lookout, this is your guide to the wins, the tradeoffs, and the can't-miss moments. Enjoy the ride, then tell us: would you brave the drums for that curry, and is Castaway still your number one?

Episode #433 - Get ready to unwrap the tastiest treats of the season! In this episode, Kristen is strolling through Disney Springs to explore the must-have holiday bites, festive sips, limited-time desserts, and cozy seasonal dining experiences you won't want to miss. From peppermint-infused indulgences to savory comfort food and dazzling cocktails, we'll help you discover where to eat, what to try, and how to make the most of your foodie adventure this season.Whether you're planning a holiday visit or just craving some magical foodie inspo, this guide is your passport to the merriest flavors at Disney Springs! Let's dig in and taste the magic

Fresh off the long Thanksgiving weekend, Jim and Lauren crawl out from under their leftover Pilgrim sandwiches to talk about Zootopia 2 absolutely owning the holiday box office, how that might shape Disney's sequel strategy, and the must-have merch that is already slithering into the parks. They also dig into McDonald's massive 70th anniversary Happy Meal promotion, Disney's official holiday book guide, and a couple of doorstop tomes that are now living in the Hersey household. In the back half, Jim takes Lauren on a whirlwind tour through nearly 80 years of Disney's talking-animal history - from Song of the South all the way to Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde. NEWS • Zootopia 2's Thanksgiving opening pulls in a projected 156 million dollars domestically and around 400 million dollars overseas in just five days - more than half a billion total and one of the biggest Thanksgiving hauls ever. • How those numbers stack up against Wicked for Good and last year's Moana 2, plus why Universal probably is not panicking while it waits for the inevitable Wicked sing-along edition and a newly announced Galinda prequel novel. • The debut of Gary the Snake - a gloriously weird Zootopia 2 sipper at Disneyland - and Jim's crusade to track down Nog the snow seal pup plush that was gifted to Disney Television Animation staffers. • McDonald's 70th celebration Happy Meal, featuring 70 different Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and classic character toys with two figures per box - plus online grumbling over who made the cut (hello, Clarabelle) and who suspiciously did not (sorry, Cinderella). • Disney Parks Blog's holiday book guide, from deep-dive art and history titles like the X Atencio tribute and John Landau's memoir to Moana's “What if she stole the heart?” Twisted Tale, kid-friendly atlases, scratch-n-sniff adventures, and the giant Holiday Magic at the Disney Parks and Bring the Magic Home books currently threatening Lauren's fingernails. FEATURE • A crash course in Disney's history with anthropomorphized animals - starting with the animated sequences in 1946's Song of the South and why so many artists remembered that era as their happiest time at the studio after returning from World War II. • The rise and fall of the abandoned Chanticleer project, the “Roy's Boys” money feud with Walt, and how that detour accidentally sent Mark Davis to Imagineering where he helped create icons like Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion. • How The Aristocats, Robin Hood, and even The Jungle Book paved the way for modern animal worlds - including the infamous animation recycling in Robin Hood's “Phony King of England” sequence that sharp-eyed fans still spot today. • The long development path from the shelved spy thriller Savage Seas, starring Jack Savage, to the fully realized animal metropolis of Zootopia - including John Lasseter's notes, Jared Bush's CIA family background, and the last-minute decision to swap Nick Wilde out for Judy Hopps as the true lead.

It's the most magical time of the year ...and this week on Mouse Ears & Magical Chats, we're settling the debate once and for all: Which Disney World park is the BEST for the holidays?

Rolling Into Thanksgiving at Walt Disney World This week, November 26, 2025, we rolled into Thanksgiving with a full slate of holiday magic at Walt Disney World. From gingerbread displays and Santa meet-and-greets to new international park news and popcorn bucket previews, it was a packed pre-holiday show. Gingerbread Houses Across the Resorts Gingerbread galore across the resorts. The star this week is the 25th Anniversary Gingerbread Carousel at Disney's Beach Club Resort. The themed horses, spinning motion, and detailed craftwork make it a must-see for holiday touring. Other classic displays have also returned, including the contemporary holiday display at Disney's Contemporary Resort, and smaller but charming builds at BoardWalk and Animal Kingdom Lodge. Where to Find Santa at Walt Disney World Next, we covered one of the most important holiday questions: Where can you find Santa this year? You can spot him at Magic Kingdom near Town Square, in EPCOT during Festival of the Holidays, and along Hollywood Boulevard at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Animal Kingdom features Santa on festive flotillas, and Disney Springs includes Santa stops as part of the Christmas Tree Stroll. With so many options, it's easier than ever to add Santa to your vacation plans. A New Store Opens at Disney Springs A brand-new store has opened at Disney Springs, adding to the district's holiday excitement. The new shop features seasonal merchandise, gift items, and several exclusive items available only at the Springs location, making it a perfect stop during the Christmas Tree Stroll. Disney Adventure Park Paris Announces Opening Date Disney shared big news for Disneyland Paris: Disney Adventure Park will officially open on March 29, 2026. The new park will debut alongside World of Frozen, bringing Arendelle to life in Paris. This major expansion marks a new era for Disneyland Paris and gives guests even more reasons to plan a European Disney vacation. New Animatronic Olaf and Smugglers Run Details Disney also released a new episode of We Call It Imagineering, showcasing a brand-new animatronic Olaf. The figure features smooth movement, expressive animation, and advanced storytelling capability. The same video revealed new details about the updated Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, which will feature upgraded visuals and refreshed story elements. Universal Kids World Coming to Texas Greg highlighted news from Universal, including fresh updates on Universal Kids World, the new family-focused park planned for Texas. The project continues to grow, and this week's details gave us a clearer picture of what guests can expect when the park opens. Holiday Popcorn Bucket Bucket-List It wouldn't be a holiday episode without popcorn news. We shared Greg's popcorn bucket bucket-list, highlighting the must-have buckets inside and outside the Disney Parks. New seasonal designs, movie tie-ins, and special releases make this one of the most exciting popcorn seasons yet. Disney at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade We previewed what Disney has planned for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, including character appearances, themed floats, and tie-ins to upcoming releases. For many families, this parade marks the official start of the Christmas season. Muppet Magnet #66 To close out the show, we added Muppet Magnet #66 to the ever-growing collection.
