If you've ever felt like podcasting is equal parts joy and chaos, you're in good company. In this episode, I sit down with Darrell Darnell, the founder of Pro Podcast Solutions, to talk about what it actually takes to build a show that lasts. Darrell's been producing podcasts since the early days, and he's seen just about every possible mistake, burnout cycle, and “why am I doing this?” moment creators run into.What I love about Darrell is that he's built his entire career around making podcasting sustainable, not stressful. From fan-driven shows like Fringe and Stranger Things to deeply personal storytelling with Stuff I Learned Yesterday, he's developed systems that keep creators focused, consistent, and connected to their audience without running themselves into the ground.We get into the heart of it all: community, pillars, workflow, and why quality matters more than perfection. Whether you're brand new or you've been at this for years, this conversation is a reminder that podcasting doesn't have to take over your life. It really can be something you enjoy week after week… as long as you approach it with the right mindset and a solid foundation.Key TakeawaysConsistency always wins. Your publishing rhythm trains your audience. Stick to a schedule they can rely on.Community keeps podcasts alive. Darrell built long-lasting shows by treating listeners like real people, not download numbers.Content pillars prevent burnout. Defining 3–4 themes gives you endless episode ideas and simplifies planning.You don't need a “perfect” launch. Disneyland had a disastrous opening day and turned out fine. Same idea here.Let your audience guide your format. Episode length, structure, and segment ideas become obvious when you actually ask (and watch your analytics).Fan-based shows live and die with the source material. If you're podcasting about a TV series or franchise, expect to shift gears when the show ends.Your unique angle matters. Darrell's early success came from having a dedicated science expert on a sci-fi podcast—find the thing that sets you apart.Your purpose powers longevity. When things get tough, the “why” behind your show is what keeps you going.Great production doesn't have to be complicated. A few smart tools can elevate your audio without requiring hours of editing.ResourcesPro Podcast Solutions – Foundation Toolkit: https://propodcastsolutions.com/creator (Darrell's free planning guide + spreadsheet he mentioned during the episode)Pro Podcast Solutions: https://propodcastsolutions.comDarrell's Podcasts on Golden Spiral Media: https://goldenspiralmedia.com (It's a great time to binge The Stranger Things Podcast before season 5 comes out!)----------------------Ecamm - Your go-to solution for crafting outstanding live shows and podcasts.

What happens when discipline meets adversity? In a world where comfort wins too easily, true progress begins with facing hard challenges head-on. Joe De Sena talks with Zeus Fitness founder and adaptive coach Jake Weiner about building grit through adaptive training, creating community for athletes with disabilities, and turning mindset shifts into lasting confidence.   Tools, Frameworks, or Strategies Learned: Mindset Reframing: Jake explains how shifting "I can't" to "I'll try" transforms both athletes and parents, proving that confidence is built one small win at a time. Adaptive Coaching Approach: Training without specialized equipment—just smarter coaching, personalized cues, and consistent feedback. Environment and Community Design: Creating a supportive gym culture where athletes mirror each other's discipline, replacing isolation with shared strength. Routine as Ritual: Building daily movement habits that anchor mindset and consistency—discipline treated like brushing your teeth. Perspective Shift Practice: Using the mantra "It could be worse" to ground gratitude and push through discomfort.   Closing Insight: "Discipline turns obstacles into opportunity—because every hard thing you face trains both body and mind."   Listen & Subscribe: Apple: The Hard Way Podcast Spotify: The Hard Way Podcast   Short, Impactful Content: Instagram: @thehardwaypodcast From host directly: @realjoedesena   Join the Spartan Community: Find Your Next Spartan Race: spartan.com/en/race/find-race For everything Spartan: spartan.com   Timestamps: [00:10] The Mission Behind Zeus Fitness Jake explains how Zeus Fitness became a training ground for adaptive athletes.

[15:21] The Power of Community and Spartan Grit Jake explains how his athletes train year-round for Spartan Races—proving that shared purpose and team energy build more than strength; they build resilience. [20:40] A Lesson in True Commitment One athlete skips Disneyland to make his workout. A reminder that when purpose is strong enough, excuses disappear.

We're cracking open another round of our Listener Q&A series, where your questions take center stage and we get to time-travel, daydream, debate, and laugh our way through the wild world of Walt Disney World. From Back to the Future-style time hopping to EPCOT engineering, this one covers a little bit of everything—so buckle up, because the flux capacitor is… well, metaphorically humming.We kick things off with a big one: If you had one day to time travel to any Disney park in history, where and when are you landing? Parade nostalgia, extinct attractions, retro vibes—nothing is off the table.Then, we get delightfully nerdy as we design a brand-new World Showcase Lagoon attraction and pitch a fresh Skyliner route that Imagineering will probably ignore but shouldn't. Over on Twitter, we tackle what kind of perk could actually convince us to buy direct DVC—and yes, we get honest. Instagram brought the planning heat: Pop Century vs. French Quarter for a June family trip, Skyliner convenience vs. resort charm, and how to tackle Fourth of July fireworks across a three-night celebration.Plus, we wrap up with a festive bite of holiday goodness as we spotlight Columbia Harbour House's Gingerbread Cake—because every Q&A needs a little sugar. Tune in, laugh along, and keep those questions coming!

Episode 136: Laura Archuleta, President and CEO, Jamboree Housing Corporation On this episode of ChangeMakers with Katie Goar, we meet Laura Archuleta, President and CEO of Jamboree Housing Corporation, one of California's leading nonprofit affordable housing developers serving more than 20,000 residents statewide. Laura shares how her mother's experience growing up in public housing and her own family's story of resilience shaped her lifelong commitment to housing as a foundation for opportunity. She and Katie explore Jamboree's innovative developments across California, from motel conversions for formerly homeless residents to permanent supportive housing for veterans like Heroes Landing in Santa Ana and Salida del Sol in San Juan Capistrano. Laura explains how Jamboree's partnerships with cities, churches, healthcare systems, and even Disneyland are redefining community-driven housing solutions. She also discusses how thoughtful design, wraparound services, and education can overcome public fear and help residents thrive. This conversation offers a masterclass in how mission, collaboration, and courage can turn affordable housing into lasting community change.

Hi, and welcome to the podcast. In today's episode, co host Jay McFarland and I will be continuing our discussion on the AI approach to multiply your sales. This is part two in our series, and today we'll be discussing service, referrals, and content marketing. David: Welcome back, Jay. Jay: Thank you so much, David. I'm really enjoying this discussion about AI because I think we've already established there are some great tools and resources with AI, but it's not exactly to the point where it needs to be. But more specifically, can it really speak to your individual situation? How do you pick through that and know what's right for you? David: Exactly, and last week we were talking about the first three recommendations it made, which were define your target audience, develop a compelling value proposition, and optimize your marketing channels. This week, we're going to be talking about its next set of recommendations. And it starts with number four on its list is: 4. Enhance Your Customer Experience. Focus on delivering exceptional customer service and creating a positive experience at every touch point to build loyalty and encourage repeat business. That sounds nice. Jay: It sounds fantastic. Again, just do that. You know, but how do you do that? I think I mentioned in the last podcast that so often people go into business not because they're great at customer service, but because they have a great recipe, or they have a great product. And they don't really think about how to offer that in a great way. I'm in the accounting field now, which kind of blows my mind and is a different conversation. But I find generally, David, that accountants don't know how to give good customer service. And they kind of feel like they have a captured audience and so they don't even try to give good customer service. David: And a lot of accountants also really struggle with marketing because they feel like it's Jay: Yes, yes. David: Kind of, if not beneath them, they feel uncomfortable with it. They don't want to come across as a salesperson. They're very good at what they do and they're less good at finding the people they need to do that sort of thing. And that's why a lot of them, a lot of small business accountants struggle, because they're great at accounting and not so great at the things that we're talking about here that will actually allow them to service more customers. Jay: Yeah, you're exactly right. Where I've come from, the retail side, the customer service side, that's been my whole background. So, we're kind of owning our little space in the marketplace, because we're focusing on that up front, and people recognize a difference immediately. David: Yeah, exactly. So, one of the things we talked about in the previous podcast related to AI telling us how to multiply sales is that some of these recommendations come across as rather general. Okay, so enhance your customer experience is not really the kind of thing you would think of as "okay, this will allow me to multiply sales." It's a necessity. You have to have exceptional customer service in your business if you want to survive, let alone thrive, let alone multiply business. But it doesn't seem to me to be a multiplier in and of itself. However, when we think about this idea, what can we do to make the experience better, what can we do to expedite the experience, make these things happen better and more consistently, that will allow us to get the velocity we need, in my opinion, to be able to then Multiply your sales. In other words, it's not enough to just do a great job with customer service. We need to be able to do it with a cadence of accountability. We need to be able to do it in a way where it's happening consistently. People are able to move through our process, get what they need, feel like they've been extremely well taken care of, and then we can move on to the next person. Jay: Yeah, when I hear enhance their customer experience, for some reason, I think of Disneyland, like better rides or better signage or, you know, things like that. It's very ethereal, like, how do I apply that to my individual experience? I think a key here is that our attention span with TikTok and all of these things is so low. And so when somebody lands on your website or when they've picked up a phone to call you, if they're not moving through that process fast enough, you're going to lose them. And that's just the reality of the world that we live in. David: Absolutely. And I think this general idea of enhancing your customer experience is good. And again, some of the words they use are delivering exceptional customer service and creating a positive experience at every touch point to build loyalty and encourage repeat business. So those are all great recommendations. But again, the question is, how are we doing those things? And in our work with our clients, the way that we do those things is through procedures and processes. Jay: Yes. David: And the next time method of delegation is one of the things that we use inside our program to say, okay, how can we make sure that things are being done the way that we as a business owner want them done and that our people can feel good about because they know they've got a system or a process in place to be able to achieve the result that they're looking for. Jay: Yeah. David: So I think that's what's missing there. Jay: Yeah, this is so important. We've spent the last six months in our business just identifying this process. What happens when they land on the website? What happens with our CRM if they've scheduled a consultation? What happens once they've had a consultation? What happens down to, it's funny to me, down to the forms that we send them. If those forms don't look professional, if they look haphazard, then people will be turned off by them. And that's such a simple thing when you think about it. Just get them done right so that every step of the way you look professional, that builds confidence in your product, and that's the face of our business. That's the storefront now. And, it has to be pristine, in my opinion. David: No question. And I think, you know, the idea of customer service is something that we could dedicate multiple podcasts to, but that was recommendation number four from AI. Recommendation number: 5. Implement a referral program. Encourage satisfied customers to refer your business to others by offering incentives or rewards for successful referrals. What do you Think? Jay: This one's hard for me. I'm not very good at tooting my own horn. Some people really are and it's always been hard for me to say, Hey, if you liked us refer us to other people. I don't know why that's hard for me. And I know that when I have good customer service, I'm very quick to recommend other people. So oftentimes it's not even saying it, it's just providing that extra level of customer service so that we naturally will do that. I think we want to do that. David: We all do. And whenever I talk to business owners, everybody knows the importance of referrals. Most people that I talk to know they should be doing it more. They should be asking more often than they're already asking. And one of the primary reasons they don't goes back to what we were just talking about. They don't have a process for it. They don't have a system or procedure for it. Earlier today, I was talking with one of my consulting clients and he was working on reactivating some old clients and we put together a process for him, just a week ago, that he was able to get out in front of people and the response that he got was amazing. There were eight people in particular that he had great relationships with previously that he hadn't heard from in a while. He initiated contact using the procedure we outlined. All eight of them responded to him within the first week. Jay: Wow. David: He's back in conversation with them. Doesn't mean they're all going to become customers again, but he's got eight out of eight. And that happens when you've got the processes and procedures in place that allow you to just deploy it. Right? Too often, if we want to get referrals, we're going to spend way too much time thinking about it, worrying about it, gnashing our teeth and saying, I really need to do this. Whereas, if you've got something that you could just send out via email this afternoon, You'll know what results you're starting to have by tomorrow. So once again, the recommendations that we're getting from AI are great. The devil is in the details. It's about, okay, how are we going to do it? And once again, one of the things that we do with our clients is we get the things in place, the sort of triggers, the switches that they can throw the switch, make this happen, report back on your results. If it's working great, awesome. If it's not, we'll tweak it and we'll flip a different switch. And we'll keep things moving forward. Jay: Well, I love that you use the word switch, because in today's world of technology, it can be as simple as flipping that switch. But are you sending out quality? Are you sending out things that we've already talked about? Targeting your customers? Identifying their needs and their concerns? Because, you know, in my CRM system, I can set up a drip program, right away. But like you said, the devil's in the details. Is it going to be something that is beneficial to me or am I just going through the motions because AI told me to do it? David: Right. And a lot of that goes back to the idea of creating value in your communications, which we talked about. That was number two, essentially. In what AI came up with and what we expanded on it to mean, AI was talking about developing a compelling value proposition. I was broadening it to include communication. How are we communicating with our clients?

Why did Disney's Tower of Terror change its design when it moved locations? And who was Buddy the Bellhop?Drop in with us on this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk as we check into California Adventure's lost Hollywood Tower Hotel to decipher the history, secrets, and stories hidden within its design.In this episode, we travel to Disneyland Resort to visit the California Adventure version of the Tower of Terror for the first time, covering the concept, design, changes in mechanics, and backstory of this version of the attraction. Because the Disneyland Paris version is almost identical to the one in California, we add that Tower into the mix as well on this international Disney treasure hunt. Along the way, we share some rare Imagineering documents, discuss some never-created attractions, and explore the differences between this version and the one in Disney's Hollywood Studios. Kate discusses some connections to Walt's history found in the Tower, Kirk translates some German, and we both get a little confused by the Tower's commercial mascot from 2004 that doesn't quite fit the storytelling of the Hollywood Tower Hotel.

We're diving headfirst into another round of our Main Street Magic Mailbag: Listener Q&A — one of our favorite series because we truly never know what questions are coming. They're funny, thoughtful, surprising, and sometimes just delightfully odd… which makes them perfect. We kick things off with a question about the biggest Disney purchase we regret.We break down the decisions we would absolutely not make again. Next up, we get hit with a brutal “Would you rather?” dilemma: Would you rather never try new Disney foods and drinks again, or never try new attractions? It's the kind of question that makes you choose between your taste buds and your thrill-seeking heart. We also chat about how we'd redesign an attraction queue to make it more interactive, and we come up with a few ideas that would turn waiting in line into part of the fun.From there, the holiday spirit sneaks in with a whimsical question about which job we'd choose if we worked in Santa's workshop. Would we be toymakers, bakers, reindeer wranglers, or something even more chaotic? We break down the roles that fit us and the roles that would absolutely backfire.We also explore what it would be like to spend Christmas in a Disney movie universe. With so many magical worlds to choose from — animated, live-action, wintery, colorful — we debate where we'd want to celebrate the season.Then, a big one: What must-do experiences should first-time visitors, especially kids around 8 and 11, absolutely not miss? We cover attractions, shows, character moments, and little magical touches that make a first visit unforgettable. We also squeeze in a mini conversation about iconic Disney shirts and how quickly they become conversation starters.Next, we look at the top items still lingering on our Disney bucket list — the experiences we haven't crossed off yet but can't wait to someday. Finally, we wrap things up with a delicious question: What type of new food booth would we add to EPCOT's Food & Wine Festival? We dream up flavors, themes, and creative menu ideas we'd love to see join the festival lineup.It's a fun, lively, listener-fueled episode filled with Disney talk, holiday vibes, park tips, food dreams, and plenty of laughs. Grab your headphones and enjoy another round of Main Street Magic Mailbag!

Spending the holidays at Disneyland is pure magic — but it can also be busy, overwhelming, and expensive if you don't plan ahead. In this episode, I'm walking you through everything you need to know about Holidays at Disneyland 2025 — from decorations and entertainment to crowd strategies, food, and festive must-dos.You'll learn:

This week the boys are so BACK from their trip to Disneyland. Listen and regale in the cheers, tears, and fears that happen when the gang spends 3 whole days together. We also take a much needed trip to the Trailer Park, but things are a little....different?

Join us as we spill the salty tears and secret sauces behind the shuttered restaurants that once made our park days magical. From the legendary Adventurers Club where the walls talked (and the drinks fought back) to the Big Thunder Ranch BBQ that gave you the best bang-for-the-buck, this episode is a roller-coaster of nostalgia (no height requirement needed). 62 Minutes.

Ps 84:10    For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere.        I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my Godthan dwell in the tents of wickedness. Better than a day at Cedar Point, Disneyland, or a thousand Christmas mornings is a day in the presence of God. Join me for 6 minutes as we honor doorkeepers and all those who "find a home" at the altar of God. Subscribe because it will be good to be here tomorrow too.  https://youtu.be/x1NERLXdcWQ

When Shreesha Ramdas left Medallia after a $6.5B acquisition he decided it was time to reinvent.At his 4th startup Lumber, before writing a single line of code, he hired a sales person and ran 200+ interviews across the industry to understand the real pain points. The interviews gave Shreesha the insight that though payments were a problem, it was neither big enough nor urgent. But it was very difficult to hire workers, and even more difficult to retain skilled craft workers. In the U.S alone 41% of construction workers will retire in the next six years, leaving a massive gap in talent and experience. As a big believer in vitamin vs. painkiller, Shreesha is now building where the pain is deepest. We discuss what truly needs to happen before building a startup, the foundation that will shape everything that follows. From his days at Yodlee during the dot-com boom to leading StrikeDeck and selling it to Medallia, he is now building again with clarity and intent for one of the most traditional industries: construction.  But here's one thing that probably tells you more about Shreesha than the companies he has built and scaled. He said, “My heart beats for other founders. Startup is my world, this community is my tribe.”0:00 – Trailer1:04 – Why build tech for Construction industry?3:54 – 200+ interviews to find the real customer pain5:05 – Big believer in Vitamin vs. Painkiller6:25 – The 2 core problems in this industry7:02 – Repeat founders Know structure better7:42 – First startup during the dot-com boom8:29 – Bay Area is Disney Land for tech founders9:23 – From engineering → sales → marketing10:37 – Founders should trust the team, above everything11:55 – The survey company that banned “survey”12:17 – First startup was all about me; now it's all about team13:57 – Dream big, but execute in small steps15:47 – The cost of speed in startups16:18 – I'm a marketing-first CEO17:27 – Hire a salesperson before the product exists18:17 – Is Founder-led selling good or bad?19:37 – Mean, lean & go all in23:55 – Don't bring humility to storytelling27:25 – How the story should evolve as startups scale35:30 – How Lumber will challenge giants in construction38:53 – Do repeat founders build more in verticals?43:39 – How to hire right people from traditional industries44:29 – What wealth unlocked for Shreesha45:34 – Legacy is moving the industry forward46:38 – What the next 20 years mean for software founders49:18 – AI should remove soul-draining work51:19 – “My heartbeats for other founders”-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

They start with LEGO's new Marvel Avengers: Strange Tails (yes, that's T-A-I-L-S), plus a check-in on Jeremy Renner, David Harbour, and this year's Marvel merch blitz, Unwrap the Universe. From there it's on to the big one: Avengers: Doomsday. The Russos return, Robert Downey Jr. re-enters the MCU — as Doctor Doom — and the franchise looks to reset the board ahead of Secret Wars. Later, Jim and Dan explore Simu Liu's “love letter to superhero movies,” Patrick Stewart's possible farewell, and a “What If” worth debating — would Marvel even exist without the MCU? Finally, Jim opens the vault for Theme Park Archaeology, uncovering the Marvel attractions that never were — from Hong Kong's Oscorp Tower of Terror to Disneyland's unbuilt Wakanda expansion — and a first look at Rocket & Groot's Galaxy Spin coming to Disney Cruise Line. HIGHLIGHTS LEGO Marvel Avengers: Strange Tails debuts Nov 14 on Disney+ Avengers: Doomsday trailer drops Dec 19 with Avatar: Fire & Ash Simu Liu's “love letter” to superhero movies & Patrick Stewart's rumored retirement MCU legacy talk: Kang, Shuri, and the future of Black Panther Theme Park Archaeology: the Marvel rides that never made it to the parks Rocket & Groot's Galaxy Spin sets sail March 10, 2026 aboard the Disney Adventure Hosts Jim Hill — @JimHillMedia | @JimHillMedia | jimhillmedia.comDan Graney — @TheHubbubbery | @TheHubbubbery | thehubbubbery.com Support the Show Enjoy Marvel Us Disney?

The coldest place in the nation today is near Nashville, Tennessee, where temperatures in Gatlinburg hit 3 degrees. Tim explains that technically we’re still in a long-term ice age, but in a warmer “interglacial” phase that began 2.6 million years ago, with the last deep freeze ending about 12,000 years ago. The forecast for Southern California has changed — expect six straight days of rain. Tim reminisces about Disneyland’s Autopia, comparing it to how L.A. streets now look cluttered with trash, asking why people have stopped caring. Mammoth Mountain delays its opening day by one day due to the storm. On a lighter note, Elizabeth Olsen told Seth Meyers she’s a fan of Dodgers reporter David Vassegh. The show wraps with Tim thanking listeners for all the birthday cards and gifts he received. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

No parcel of land at Disneyland has had more title changes than this little wedge of Disneyland. It's perhaps the smallest land in Disneyland, but it has a history that goes back to nearly the beginning. And it's a history few know much about. Most know it as Bayou Country today, and many know it as Critter Country, home to Splash Mountain. But before that it was Bear Country, and before that it went for some time not as Indian Country but as the Indian Village. We look at all four eras which include many well-known attractions, shops and eateries. As part of our 70th anniversary celebration join us as we head into the back country to experience this very special corner of Disneyland. You'll learn some things you may never have known about the Happiest Place on Earth. ________________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

We're kicking off the holiday season the best way we know how — with food, fun, and a dash of Disney magic.We start our day at The Plaza Restaurant on Main Street U.S.A. for a cozy holiday lunch — complete with that perfect view of Cinderella Castle and all the nostalgic charm The Plaza is known for. Hear our real-time reactions as we dive into seasonal offerings, discuss portion sizes, pricing, and that classic Main Street comfort food that never goes out of style.After lunch, we take a quick stroll down Main Street to scope out this year's holiday merch lineup — from must-grab ornaments to the newest festive clothing. We'll share what caught our eyes, what might catch your wallet, and what trends are popping up across the park this season.Then it's time to park-hop! Over at Disney's Animal Kingdom, we're heading straight to Isle of Java to taste-test two brand-new treats: the Donut Macaron, filled with chocolate ganache and strawberry jam, and the Bunny Burrow Coffee, a colorful cold brew with blueberry syrup and sweetened condensed milk. Which one wins the day — the photo-worthy macaron or the bold new brew? We'll give you our full verdict.Finally, we wrap things up inside the Tree of Life Theater for the all-new stage show, Zootopia: Better Zoogether. We'll share first impressions, crowd reactions, and how it stacks up as a replacement for It's Tough to Be a Bug! Does this fresh, tech-driven show make Animal Kingdom feel new again?It's a holiday-flavored, park-hopping adventure packed with food, fun, and festive spirit.

Our associate producer (and my brother) Riley Swedelius-Smith is here to tell our producer Miranda Zickler and me about the chaotic opening day of The Happiest Place on Earth way back in 1955. We'll learn about the many quirks of Walt Disney, the events that unfolded as he tried to build his ludicrous dream, and how everything went down when it was finally time to present the park to the American public–live on television.

Len Testa and Jim Hill continue No Negative November with a look at Zootopia's new 4D adventure, listener trip-planning wisdom, and the surprising book that inspired Disneyland's first mountain. NEWS Zootopia: Better Zoo-gether debuts at Animal Kingdom — The Tree of Life theater gets a major refresh with a new story, water gags, and a charming Benjamin Clawhauser animatronic. Holiday highlights return — Tree of Life Awakenings now plays nightly thanks to early sunsets, and the beloved Merry Menagerie puppet experience returns November 14. Storytime with Santa Deadpool — A holiday twist hits Avengers Campus, complete with meta Christmas jokes and Greek Orthodox canon accuracy. Listener questions answered — From the best Bay Lake Tower villas for New Year's Eve fireworks to whether it's time for Tables in Wonderland to return. Disney's shrinking parades — Why the Festival of Fantasy looks lighter on dancers and floats—and how Disney's still managing two parades a day at Magic Kingdom. FEATURE The Making of the Matterhorn — Jim shares the wild story of how a 1950s family film led Walt Disney to send a postcard from Switzerland that simply said: “Build this.” How Banner in the Sky and Third Man on the Mountain inspired Walt's alpine obsession. Why the Matterhorn nearly became a luge-style attraction (yes, really). The creative legacy of director Ken Annakin, whose films also led to Swiss Family Treehouse and Sleeping Beauty Castle.
