Hey Mickey Shortsters! It's time once again for our Halloween Spooktacular! This year, we're summoning the spirits of Disney's past and creeping back in time to the eerie origins of Mickey Mouse himself. We'll be watching Walt Disney's very first dip into the macabre — the delightfully spooky 1929 animated short, “The Haunted House.” But that's not all! We're also sharing our recent after-dark adventures at Disneyland's Oogie Boogie Bash, where the villains come out to play and the shadows dance throughout Disney's California Adventure! So gather 'round, turn down the lights, and beware… you're in for a frightfully fun time! And don't forget to subscribe and share the show with all your fellow Mickey-loving ghouls and goblins!

Ever wonder what it takes to run one of the busiest hotels in America — right next to #Disneyland?
Sixty years later it remains one of the most enduring and beloved Disney movies of all time. Mary Poppins, based on the PL Travers stories, has even inspired a making of film through 2013's Saving Mr. Banks. In tandem, the late songwriters Richard and Robert Sherman, responsible for the classic tunes, have received their fair share of coverage through projects like The Boys: The Sherman Brothers Story from 2009. Thankfully, now we have a written compendium that illustrates how integral the Sherman Brothers were to the development of the 1964 Walt Disney feature. Making Mary Poppins, written by professor and author Todd James Pierce, is a deep dive into the production, along with giving further backstory to the famed songwriters. Todd previously joined host Brett Nachman back in 2020 as he discussed writing Three Years in Wonderland about the development of Disneyland through CV Wood's influence. Now he returns to share details about Making Mary Poppins: The Sherman Brothers, Walt Disney, and the Creation of the Classic Film. Learn more about Todd's career and book by visiting his website. Pick up a copy of Making Mary Poppins and listen to the Disney History Institute podcast. Feel free to reach out to Brett via Bluesky @drnachman and Instagram @drnachman, subscribe to the podcast, and send your feedback to notablydisney@gmail.com New episodes of Notably Disney debut on the first and third Tuesday of each month.

Send us a textA ruby-red cocktail, a carousel in view, and a debate we've wanted to settle for ages: which Fantasyland truly delivers the magic? We put Disneyland and Magic Kingdom head-to-head on the four things that matter most to park fans—food, layout, rides, and shows—and the results aren't as simple as coast pride.We start with the Handsome Brute and a quick reality check on price, then dive into dining. Florida brings the firepower with Cinderella's Royal Table, Be Our Guest, Gaston's Tavern, and a spread of quick-service spots, while Anaheim counters with the fan-favorite Red Rose Tavern and that coveted Grey Stuff. From value to character dining, we map where each land feeds your day best.Then we shift to what you feel the second you step through the castle. Disneyland's Fantasyland is a storybook square—tight, kinetic, and overflowing with classics like Mr. Toad, Alice, Pinocchio, and the canal boats, anchored by the Matterhorn. Magic Kingdom stretches wider, with Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at its core and Storybook Circus on the edge; it's generous in space and rich in queues, but less cohesive in spirit. On shows and characters, Florida wins with Mickey's PhilharMagic, Enchanted Tales with Belle, Princess Fairytale Hall, and reliable meet-and-greets. On rides, California's stacked lineup and intimate flow make a powerful case for the original.We wrap with practical strategy: rope drop plans, when to chase Peter Pan, how better queues can redeem longer waits, and why layout shapes the mood of your entire day. If you love the deep comfort of Disney nostalgia or crave a day packed with dining and character moments, you'll know exactly where to go next.If this helped you choose your next park day, follow the show, share it with a Disney-loving friend, and leave a quick review to tell us which Fantasyland gets your vote.

How do you capture the feeling of blasting through the cosmos on Space Mountain? In the 1990s, Imagineers Eddie Sotto and Aarin Richard were tasked with adding a synchronized on-board audio track to Space Mountain in Disneyland California and creating a synchronized on-board audio track for the brand new Space Mountain at Disneyland Paris. In this episode of Imagination Skyway, we journey into the creation of Space Mountain's groundbreaking soundtracks for Disneyland (featuring Dick Dale) and Disneyland Paris. Join Disney Imagineers Eddie Sotto and Aarin Richard as they reveal how these iconic scores came to life—from creative experimentation and studio sessions to the storytelling choices that shaped the attraction's tone and tempo. Eddie Sotto has been called “a renaissance creative” with a proven track record in entertainment design that extends far beyond Disney. As Senior Vice President of Concept Design at Walt Disney Imagineering, he led the Concept Development Studio, producing and designing major attractions including Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland Paris and Rocket Rods. Mentored by Disney Legends Tony Baxter and Herb Ryman, Sotto went on to found SottoStudios, applying cinematic design principles to television, restaurants, hospitality, ultra-luxury interiors, and even private aviation—earning an IYAA Award for “Best Private Jet Concept.” In 2020, Blooloop named him one of the Top 50 Theme Park Influencers. Aarin Richard served as a Walt Disney Imagineer starting in the 1990s working in the music group. His projects included the first synchronized on-board audio track for Space Mountain at Disneyland and Space Mountain at Disneyland Paris, as well as the music for the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Indiana Jones Adventure, and beyond.

We're embracing our inner evil and assembling our ultimate Disney Villain Dream Teams! It's a snake-style draft where strategy, sass, and sinister laughs collide as we each pick five iconic foes from across the Disney universe.Here's how it works: we each draft two animated villains, one Pixar villain, one live-action villain, and one bonus wildcard who can come from any corner of the leftover baddies. Once a villain's been chosen, they're gone for good — no repeats allowed!Expect passionate defenses, dramatic alliances, and plenty of over-the-top reasoning as we crown our team leaders and debate who's most likely to stab someone in the back (literally or metaphorically). From Maleficent's poise to Hades' one-liners and Thanos' snap-happy attitude, every choice reveals who we think reigns supreme in the world of Disney darkness.So grab your poison apple, cue up your evil laugh, and join us for a fiendishly fun episode that proves villains really do have more fun. It's Halloween on Main Street Magic — and today, evil's never looked so good.

Your hosts examine the question: When will Disneyland price out every family? Can you imagine shelling out over $500 per person just for a single-day ticket to the Happiest Place on Earth? And that's before parking, churros, or Genie+! In this episode, we look into skyrocketing costs that have families ditching Mickey for cheaper vacations. 59 Minutes.
What roles were women not allowed to do in the Haunted Mansion in 1975? And why was Imagineer Dorothea Redmond once forced to work alone in a walled-off office?Welcome, Foolish Mortals, to this special Halloween episode of Distory where we head back to the Haunted Mansion to explore some details, secrets, and history we didn't previously unearth in our 16-episode series on this iconic Disney attraction. With six unique stories in all, this extended episode includes rare concept art, stories you've likely never heard, and even a premiere of a newly restored 35mm video from the 1970s as we delve deeper into the boundless realm of the supernatural.We begin our tour with a historic Cast Member manual, learning how the Mansion's protocols differed from what we see today. After checking out some vintage costumes, Kate digs up a mummified head from Yale Gracey that inspired a popular ghost, and Kirk brings us back to the days of record stories, complete with a dramatic reading. Along the way, we explore Dorothea Redmond's influence on the Mansion, take a ride on a Mansion knock-off attraction, and celebrate spooky season with a celebration of rare, long-lost ghost concepts that never saw the light of day. Many thanks to fellow historian and collaborator Joshua L Harris for permitting us to premiere his latest film restoration of a never-before-released 35mm excerpt of Kurt Russell & The Osmonds touring The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland on The Wonderful World of Disney from 1970 in this episode.You can find more of Joshua's Disney history work here:https://www.epcotlegacy.com/overviewhttps://www.jlhomnimedia.com/And if you'd like to support his digital preservation work, you can join his Locals community at epcotlegacy.locals.com.Join us LIVE on YouTube every week!

Chef Bruno Serato of the nonprofit Caterina's Club makes pasta for children from families who are financially struggling. It feeds 5,000 hungry kids every night. Now, Chef Serato's nonprofit needs financial help so it can continue to feed the community. The failed high-speed rail from LA to San Francisco cost taxpayers $130 billion. That's a total of $240 billion that's been wasted or is unaccounted for in California, including missing funds from the unemployment department and the homeless. Toronto Blue Jay fans in town for the World Series probably don't want to go home; LA is looking so beautiful right now. There's a rat problem in DTLA! A hand grenade was found at a Burbank recycling center! It led to an evacuation, but it turns out it was a dud. A woman was attacked in broad daylight while walking along Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood.
Welcome! In this podcast, I read three quotes which share two things in common. First, they speak of low attendance in the park and how empty things are. Second, they were all written in 2024. I could share with you several statements like these that emphasize how empty the parks are. To many it sounds like statements heard these last couple of months around both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. But statements like these are actually from 2024. Were they true? Well, the TEA (Themed Entertainment Association) shared their annual Global Experience Index for 2024. We'll look at what it has to say, particularly as we study the Disney and Universal parks in both Florida and California. The findings may not only surprise you, but they are probably an indication of the kinds of numbers we're experiencing here. To that end, we'll talk about what Disney is doing about attendance to include new announcements Disney has made for America's 250th Anniversary. ________________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

Jim Hill and Drew Taylor celebrate Halloween week by taking a deep dive into Disney's darkest fairy tale — and the long, strange legacy of “Pinocchio.” From canceled attractions and creepy Hong Kong mazes to Julie Taymor's unrealized Broadway musical, this little wooden boy has haunted Disney history for over 80 years.
