The hosts realize that Geekmas is rapidly approaching its 15th anniversary and challenge viewers in the chat to name a special guest from the 2012 holiday episode .CHOC Walk 2026 Reminders: Mark your calendars for August 2nd! There is still time to support or join the Daps Magic team for the annual CHOC Walk through an empty Disneyland Resort before the parks open . The duo praises the incredible, daily life-changing work done by the CHOC team and reminds viewers that if they are too sleep-deprived to walk early in the morning, they can always register as a “sleeping bear” to support the cause from home .The Return of Caption of the Week: A brand-new, family-friendly interactive caption challenge is live on the website! This week's image features an amusing moment with Disney fairies . Head over to the bottom of the homepage to leave your funniest caption and vote later in the week to see which caption gets to live with the photo permanently .Disney Springs Transportation Policy Update: Walt Disney World has updated its resort bus policy at Disney Springs. Moving forward, only paying guests are permitted to utilize bus transportation from Disney Springs to resort hotels, aiming to curb off-site guests exploiting the area for free park parking .

From the Texas Killing Fields and Gilgo Beach to a corpse left decomposing in a hotel water tank and three infants found frozen in a family freezer, these are the notorious dump sites where killers hide their victims — and the strangest places human remains have ever turned up.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/BodyDumpSitesREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckm2tkwFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Where are bodies dumped most often? What are some of the strangest places bodies have been found, and what odd situations ended up in death? We'll look at some weird stories of dead bodies being found. (Strange Dumping Grounds) *** A man is found dead – obviously murdered. But even after a positive identification, some believed the body was not of the man authorities thought it was – and an even larger mystery was, whose monogrammed handkerchief was stuffed in the corpse's mouth? (The Ruttinger Mystery) *** In Florida, there is a short stretch of freeway that is so full of incidents of danger, death, and the paranormal, that many consider it cursed – and most definitely haunted. Locals have deemed it, the Dead Zone.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: December 06, 2021Weird Darkness maps the ground where the dead are hidden, traveling from America's most notorious body-dumping fields to a cursed quarter-mile of Florida interstate and a strangled German lace salesman pulled from the Staten Island mud in 1891.It opens with the dump sites scattered across the United States, where unidentified victims are still pulled from soil and water decades after they were left. In the New York Central Pine Barrens of Long Island, as many as eleven bodies have surfaced, four of them between 2000 and 2003 and two decapitated, in killings attributed to the Butcher of Manorville. Lake Tahoe keeps its secrets through physics rather than concealment, its thousand-foot depths holding a near-constant 39 degrees that stops bodies—rumored to date to Mafia disposals in the 1950s—from decomposing enough to float. Sugar planter Edgar Watson terrorized the Florida Everglades in the early 1900s, allegedly killing laborers each harvest to dodge their wages, and in 2016 two alligators were found feeding on a corpse in the same swamp. Leakin Park in Baltimore has given up roughly 70 bodies since 1946, while the Texas Killing Fields along I-45 between Houston and Galveston have yielded 30 since 13-year-old Colette Wilson vanished in 1971—among them Krystal Jean Baker, whose 1986 murder was tied to Kevin Edison Smith by DNA in 2012. Over 100 bodies have come out of the Mojave Desert, sending photographer William Bradford and William Floyd Zamastil to prison, and the still-unidentified Gilgo Beach killer dumped as many as 17 victims along Ocean Parkway, three of them strangled, bagged in burlap, and linked to the Long Island Serial Killer. Pelham Bay Park concealed at least 65 bodies between 1986 and 1995, the East River surrendered 26 in the spring of 2010 alone, and Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer, confessed to ending at least 49 women's lives.From there the episode turns to bodies found where no one thinks to look. Canadian student Elisa Lam decomposed for as long as 19 days inside a rooftop water cistern at Downtown Los Angeles's Cecil Hotel while guests drank and bathed from the same supply and complained the water tasted off. In Xi'an, China, a woman starved to death trapped in an elevator over the Chinese New Year, her hands mangled from a month of clawing at the doors after workers skipped a required inspection. Elmer McCurdy, killed by police in 1911 after robbing a train of $46 and two jugs of whiskey, was embalmed with arsenic and toured carnivals as a sideshow attraction until a film crew for The Six Million Dollar Man snapped his arm off at a Long Beach amusement park in 1976 and found bone beneath the wax; he was finally buried in Guthrie, Oklahoma, in 1977. A Disneyland Paris worker was electrocuted behind the scenes of the Phantom Manor ride in 2016, a German mother kept three of her infants in freezer wrapping for some 30 years until her grown children uncovered them while digging for frozen pizza, and Joshua Maddox, missing since 2008, was discovered seven years later wedged in the chimney of his parents' Colorado cabin with no sign of injury.Next comes a quarter-mile of Interstate 4 near Lake Monroe, Florida, that locals call the Dead Zone. The asphalt covers four unmarked graves of Dutch immigrants who died in the Yellow Fever epidemic that erased the 1870s settlement of St. Joseph's, graves that landowner Albert Hawkins fenced and protected after stumbling on them in 1905, and which earned a reputation for lightning strikes, house fires, and a fatal hit-and-run befalling anyone who disturbed them. The state promised to relocate the remains before construction but paved over them, and as work began in 1960 Hurricane Donna changed course to follow the road's path; the highway opened in 1963 with a deadly truck crash at that exact spot. Somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 accidents have clustered along the short stretch since, Hurricane Charley retraced Donna's route over it in 2004, and drivers report their radios filling with growls, children's laughter, and disembodied voices in a place with no nearby transmitters.The episode closes with the 1891 murder of Karl Emanuel Ruttinger, a German lace salesman from Dresden whose body watchman Samuel Mortin found half-floating in the mud below Tottenville, Staten Island, his arms bound behind his back and a linen handkerchief monogrammed "W.W." rammed down his throat with a stick. Suspicion fell on his brother-in-law, William Wright, who had sailed with him from Liverpool and shared his boarding-house room, yet Wright stood only five-foot-four at 120 pounds, far too slight to overpower a six-foot, 200-pound man alone. The trail twisted through a throat-cutting suicide at the Astor House by a man calling himself Fred Evans, a string of conflicting witness identifications, and the discovery that Ruttinger's life had been insured for more than $20,000 just a month before the voyage—raising the possibility that the corpse was not Ruttinger at all. A Tottenville inquest ruled that it was indeed Ruttinger, suffocated by persons unknown, and in 1892 the Equitable Life Assurance Society paid his mother Therese roughly $22,000, conceding privately that settling was cheaper than proving the fraud they suspected.
Welcome to another exciting episode of Geeks Corner! This week, Mr. Daps and Caitie Bear return to the studio to chat about Disneyland After Dark events, look ahead to upcoming Disney animation and sci-fi trailers, and face off in a brutal round of Disney "This or That." Episode HighlightsHere is what you can look forward to in this week's episode:The History of "Welcome": The show kicks off with a fun park music fact: Phil Collins originally wrote the song "Welcome" for the 2003 animated feature Brother Bear, which was later famously utilized in Disneyland's Parade of Dreams starting in 2005. The hosts reminisce about the moose movie, share a clip of the song, and remember the incredible hype of waiting hours on Main Street for that parade back in 2005.CHOC Walk 2026: Mark your calendars for August 2nd! The team shares details on the annual CHOC Walk through the park to raise funds and awareness for the Children's Hospital of Orange County. Daps Magic has been supporting this cause for nearly twenty years, and the hosts explain how you can help out—even if you aren't a morning person—by registering as a "sleeping bear" to raise funds from home.Disneyland After Dark: Pride Night Review: Mr. Daps and Caitie Bear share their experiences from the first night of Pride Night, praising its positive, celebratory, and uplifting environment. Highlights include friendship bracelet trading, character sightings like Tinker Bell and her fairy friends performing "Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust," and a structured Royal Theater queue featuring Princess Aurora, Maleficent, and the Three Good Fairies. They also brainstorm an idea for a fully live-action Wonderland face character group featuring the Queen of Hearts and the Mad Hatter.First Teaser for Hexed: The duo breaks down the brand-new teaser trailer for Walt Disney Animation Studios' upcoming November film, Hexed. While the magic and witchcraft premise seems promising, Caitie Bear notes the character animation reminds her heavily of Onward and Frozen, while Mr. Daps questions if the design leans a bit too close to DreamWorks rather than traditional Disney.Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 Trailer: Caitie Bear, who recently finished crying through the end of season 3, shares her immense excitement for the final trailer of Strange New Worlds Season 4. The hosts discuss how well the series has built Captain Pike's backstory, planted the seeds for Kirk's future crew, and kept the zany, sci-fi spirit of the franchise alive.A High-Stakes Game of "This or That": Mr. Daps puts Caitie Bear on the spot with five quick-fire comparisons:The Week in GeekCHOC Walk - Join our Team - https://www.chocwalk.org/dapsmagic Caption of the Week Photo https://dapsmagic.com/2026/06/jammitors-caption-of-the-week/ Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite https://dapsmagic.com/2026/06/guide-disneyland-after-dark-pride-nite-2026/ Hexed Teaser Trailer https://dapsmagic.com/2026/06/teaser-trailer-released-for-hexed-by-walt-disney-animation-studios/ Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 Trailer https://dapsmagic.com/2026/06/new-trailer-for-star-trek-strange-new-worlds-takes-enterprise-crew-closer-to-original-series/Connect With Us!Read the Latest News: Check out all the Disney and geek news as it happens at DapsMagic.com.Join the Post-Show: Head over to DapsHQ.com immediately following the episode to catch Daps After Dark and access exclusive community content.Don't Miss Photoniks: Tune in this Friday for a special Father's Day episode of Photoniks featuring Mr. Daps, Clocky, and a very special appearance by Mr. Daps' father.Subscribe on YouTube: Stay tuned for a massive wave of upcoming travel videos from Pride Night, Disneyland Paris, Tokyo Disney Resort, and Hong Kong Disneyland .
El final de la cuarta temporada llega con la visita a un parque que ha retomado vitalidad en los últimos años: Parc Astérix. Situado al norte de París, y abriendo unos cuantos años antes que Euro Disney, ha presentado un ambicioso proyecto para los próximos años que está haciendo que le tiemblen las piernas a Mickey Mouse y compañía por los avances de Astérix y Obelix. Charlamos sobre él con Juan Hernando “Teenage”, frikiparque desde los tiempos del comienzo de internet y estupendo productor musical, que ha estado hace unas semanas de visita en el parque y lo trae calentito cual pan recién salido del horno. *Pesadilla en el Parque de Atracciones no se responsabiliza de las opiniones de sus invitados* Identidad Visual: Eduard Mairal Sintonía: Luis DH
On a à peine commencé à retaper le second parc de Disneyland Paris, les Walt Disney Studios renommés récemment à Disney Adventure World, qu'on a envie de parler du troisième parc.

Quelles sont les obligations de Disney ? Où va-t-il être construit ? Qu'est-ce qu'on met dedans ? Et si c'était un parc aquatique ? Et surtout...

The gang is finally back together! (Wait- can two people be a gang?) Anyway, after a brief hiatus, Vanessa has returned to the virtual studio and Beth could not be happier. The listener mail bag has taken over the premises and MUST be dealt with! We are tackling a mountain of your questions, trip concerns, and hilarious park comparisons in this extra-special mail extravaganza. From navigating the busy holiday seasons and mastering park strategies to reciting poems about certain problematic park snacks, we covered it all with (mostly) efficient flair. Whether you're planning a first-time trip or you're a seasoned pro, this episode is packed with tips, laughs, and that signature bit of magic that makes Disneyland Paris (and our show!) so unique. Wait for the credits! You'll definitely want to stay tuned until the very, very end of the episode. We've included some outtakes and reveal a hidden talent of our favorite German co-host—let's just say Vanessa may or may not possess secret karaoke skills.

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - It's time to soar through the air above the streets of Adventureland as we head to Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom to ride The Magic Carpets of Aladdin on this episode of Attraction Checklist. Attraction audio recorded on June 6, 2024. TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. I can show you the world.Shining, shimmering, splendid. That's because on today's episode we're going to ride The Magic Carpets of Aladdin at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. The Walt Disney World Website describes this attraction saying: Fly high over Adventureland on an enchanted carpet ride inspired by the Disney movie Aladdin. There are no height requirements for this attraction. Before we see a new fantastic point of view, here are five fast facts about The Magic Carpets of Aladdin. 1. The Magic Carpets of Aladdin opened at Magic Kingdom on Wednesday, May 23, 2001. 2. While similar to Dumbo the Flying Elephant which we covered in Attraction Checklist Episode #164, each carpet vehicle of The Magic Carpets of Aladdin can hold more than two riders. 3. The riders in the front of the magic carpet can control how high each carpet can soar into the air. 4. The Magic Carpets of Aladdin inspired two similar versions of the attraction in other Disney Parks. Flying Carpets Over Agrabah in Disneyland Paris and Jasmine's Flying Carpets at the Tokyo Disney Resort. 5. The infamous spitting golden camels at the entrance to the attraction had a former life as part of a flat in the Aladdin's Royal Caravan Parade that ran from 1992 to 1995. Let's get in line and ride The Magic Carpets of Aladdin.. After the show I'll give you my thoughts on this classic attraction. This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones put them on now as we ride The Magic Carpets of Aladdin at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

Answer our 2026 Audience Census! "I wasn't an Imagineer because of the dollar. It's because I wanted to do something marvelous for people to enjoy." Captain Eo. Ghostbusters. Men in Black. Team America. Star Tours. The Muppet Movie. If you've ever fallen in love with puppeted characters that felt impossibly alive, there's a good chance Terri Hardin worked on them. A master puppeteer, creature builder, and performer, Terri has spent decades blurring the line between imagination and reality, helping bring some of the most iconic characters in film, television, and the Disney Parks to life. Thanks to the success and beloved characters of Jim Henson, puppets and fantastical characters were having a huge moment in the 80s and 90s. Studios depended on practical effects and humans to create and bring to life characters such as Stay Puft, the giant Marshmallow Man and Zuul, the Temple Dog in Ghostbusters, both of which Terri helped animate. Terri has such an impressive list of productions she's worked on that her bio below is a 22 page document full of references to beloved films and characters. We've also linked to some videos of her work below in the Resources section. Terri also worked as a sculptor and Imagineer at Walt Disney for many years. She is brimming with incredible stories about all the people she's worked with including Michael Jackson, Dan Aykroyd and Jim Henson, and Michael Eisner. Terri talks to us about how she prepared herself so that when any opportunity came, she was ready. I especially loved her story about how she created the Dragon's Lair attraction at Disneyland Paris. Terri is an absolutely remarkable character herself, and she had both me and David laughing through the entire interview. Beneath it all, Terry is a passionate artist who breathes life into all her creations. Whether you're a film buff, a Disney fan, a maker, or just someone who loves a good behind-the-scenes story, this conversation pulls back the curtain on puppetry as a craft. You'll never look at puppetry the same way again.

I'm so excited to talk about Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, which makes its return after a lengthy remodel. It has been well executed and it's as fun as ever--though perhaps in a slightly less bumpy way--at least for the moment. We will cover not only the history of this mountain but of its sister mountains at Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris. My business partner, Mark David Jones, joins me to discuss the original opening of Big Thunder here at Magic Kingdom, where he was part of the opening crew. He emphasizes how the attraction was the starting point for massive changes that would emerge at Walt Disney World in the years that followed, making it the resort destination of the world. And of course I'll give you my play by play review of the attraction in its refurbished state. So join us as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Returns.

Parce qu'avec autant de place à occuper, il faut bien mettre des trucs dans la journée et le soir, non ? Entre les "activations", les "spectacles" et les "déambulations", on va essayer de faire le tri. On part dans World of Frozen pour parler de Celebration of Arendelle (et de Mossy, et de Oaken...), sur Adventure Way pour croiser des gens qui chantent et dansent jusque dans les plus petits jardins anglais, et autour de Adventure Bay pour un grand débrief de Cascade of Lights, le nouveau grand show nocturne qui doit conclure une belle journée dans l'ancien parc Walt Disney Studios.

Jim and Len are joined by Sporkful host Dan Pashman to dig into the surprisingly rich stories behind Disney theme park food, including how a handwritten gumbo recipe in Tiana's Bayou Adventure connects to real culinary history. Along the way, they explore Imagineering's obsessive attention to detail, from menu design to discarded ideas that probably would've attracted bees (and at least one very confused operations team). Then, Jim wraps up the story of WestCOT and Disney's ambitious “Live the Dream” concept, where guests might have spent the night inside the park itself. NEWS • Disney quietly discontinues the Pirates Adventure Lightning Lane perk hours after it's mentioned on the show • Opening window set for Lakeshore Lodge at Walt Disney World in summer 2027 • Smugglers Run update tied to The Mandalorian and Grogu may arrive alongside the film's May release • On-site hotel perks confirmed through 2027, with Fort Wilderness campsites losing eligibility • Disney Cruise Line rolls out “kids sail half off” promotions as future bookings soften FEATURE • The full story of WestCOT, Disney's planned Epcot-style park for Disneyland's expansion pad • The “Live the Dream” concept, which would have placed hotel rooms directly on top of attractions • How guest surveys pushed Imagineering to explore the idea of staying overnight inside a theme park • The role of Michael Eisner in driving a more entertaining version of Epcot • Why a 300-foot-tall golden version of Spaceship Earth nearly rose over Anaheim • How budget cuts, Disneyland Paris struggles, and scope reductions led to the project's cancellation • The surprising ways this idea lived on in later projects like Tokyo DisneySea's hotels and beyond For this episode's full show notes, click here.

Cameron and Holly traveled March 25–April 6 with their daughters from Minneapolis to London, Disneyland Paris, and Paris, covering major sights, food experiences, and a women's Arsenal vs. Tottenham match before taking the Eurostar to France. They balanced theme parks and cultural highlights—Disneyland rides and shows, iconic Paris landmarks, a baking class, and metro travel—while noting heavy crowds at Frozen areas, slow dining, and the need to arrive early for airport queues on the return via Dublin.
