We're hashing out the updates following D23. Is Malificent's coaster safe enough for Landon? Will Piston Peak National Park have enough popcorn for Matt? Will the Monster's door ride be too high for TJ?

And there's a mix of things that I would put into that toolbox that I think have supported me on my leadership journey.Communication Service for the Deaf is expanding opportunity for deaf and hard of hearing people by fighting bias as much as by improving access.When I welcomed Chris Soukup, CEO of Communication Service for the Deaf, back to this episode, I wanted to understand how CSD's work has evolved over its 50-year history. Chris described a mission rooted in “a persevering commitment to advancing the quality of life for people who are deaf and for the broader disability community.”For decades, CSD helped lead the push for communication access. That work mattered. Interpreting services, video relay and new technologies opened doors that had long been closed.But Chris explained that access alone did not change the economic reality for the community. Employment barriers remained stubbornly high.“We're really confronting challenges with misperception and bias,” Chris said. He noted that the barrier often appears at the very start of a job search, when a deaf applicant identifies themselves and an employer immediately imagines cost, complexity or extra work.“That blocker has really made it difficult for our community to make meaningful progress,” he said.CSD is responding in every direction. Chris called the work “a process of breaking down barriers by land, by air, by sea.” That means media engagement, policy work, corporate partnerships, employee resource groups, storytelling and matching motivated employers with talented deaf professionals ready to contribute.One part of the work especially excites Chris: entrepreneurship. CSD supports deaf founders building their own businesses. As Chris explained, when those entrepreneurs succeed, “they turn right back around, and they hire from their community.”That creates a powerful cycle. Deaf business owners build companies, employ others and become proof points that help dismantle bias for the next person.Chris also reminded me that accessibility is still a matter of safety. In a 911 emergency, a deaf person may have to wait several minutes for a video relay interpreter before even reaching a dispatcher. In a crisis, that delay can be life or death.Chris's response is characteristic of CSD's culture: “There's a better way.”That optimism is not naive. It comes from 50 years of pushing systems to become more humane, more accessible and more just. CSD's work shows that inclusion is not charity. It is infrastructure. It is innovation. It is economic opportunity.tl;dr:CSD's 50-year commitment expands communication access, employment, and economic opportunity for deaf communities.Bias often blocks talented deaf professionals before employers recognize their value.Entrepreneurship is a powerful path for deaf leaders to create jobs and opportunities.Accessible emergency communication remains a critical issue of safety and equity.Chris's superpower is authentic perseverance in advocating for systemic change and inclusion.How to Develop Authentic Perseverance As a SuperpowerChris's superpower is authentic perseverance. He said leadership requires a “toolbox,” beginning with “authenticity.” Early in his career, he struggled with preconceived ideas of how a leader should behave. Over time, he learned that “you're doing yourself and the people that you support a disservice by not representing yourself in a way that really reflects the person that you are.” He also emphasized persistence: “Nothing happens overnight,” and “change happens by showing up every day and being committed to making a difference.”Chris described an awakening that came from noticing where he felt most effective. One-on-one, he could use humor, tell stories, share experiences, use metaphors and speak honestly about big goals and fears. He realized he could bring that same intimacy to a larger audience. Instead of manufacturing a leadership persona, he chose to show more of himself. That authenticity helped him connect more deeply and lead more effectively, whether speaking with one person or many.Stop performing a leadership role and identify what is genuinely true about your strengths and vulnerabilities.Practice sharing the messy mix that makes you human, including humor, confidence, fears and limitations.Notice where you feel most natural and effective, then bring that presence into bigger settings.Keep showing up month after month, even when meaningful change takes longer than expected.Stay focused on the world you want to create and keep moving toward it with resilience.By following Chris's example and advice, you can make authentic perseverance a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileChris Soukup (he/him):CEO, Communication Service for the DeafAbout Communication Service for the Deaf: Communication Service for the Deaf (CSD) is the largest Deaf-led social impact organization in the world.

Join us for a cruise recap with a first-timer twist! Sheila is joined by Ric and his wife, Brandi, along with a very special first-time guest—Brandi's mom, Debbie! The group recently set sail aboard Royal Caribbean's Enchantment of the Seas from Port Tampa Bay, with stops in Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Perfect Day at CocoCay. For Debbie, it wasn't just her first time on Enchantment—it was her first cruise ever, and she's sharing what the whole experience was like through completely fresh eyes. Meanwhile, Ric and Brandi compare their experience aboard Enchantment of the Seas with previous sailings on Disney Cruise Line's Disney Fantasy and Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas. How does an older, smaller Royal Caribbean ship stack up? What surprised them? What did they love? And where did they find themselves saying, "Well… Disney does this differently"? They're talking food, entertainment, activities, ports of call, the ship itself, and all those little moments that can make—or break—a cruise vacation. From first impressions of Enchantment to adventures ashore and plenty of family fun along the way, there's a lot to talk about. Did Enchantment of the Seas live up to its name? Has Royal Caribbean gained a brand-new cruiser? And after Cozumel, Costa Maya, CocoCay, countless meals, shows, activities, and a whole lot of family time, what would everyone do differently next time? There's almost as much to unpack in this episode as there was in their luggage. So grab your SeaPass, find a chair by the pool, and join us as we set sail for another episode of Monorail Tales!

Join us as Luis and Ric swing into the latest chapter of Spider-Man on the big screen with a spoiler-filled discussion of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. They look back at their own history with Spider-Man and how they were first introduced to the character before talking about what, if anything, they did to prepare for the new movie. They also talk about trying to avoid spoilers leading up to seeing the film, their theater experiences and audience reactions, and their overall impressions of Brand New Day. From there, the conversation turns to the characters and performances that stood out, favorite moments and scenes, surprises along the way, and what worked—or didn't work—for each of them. Finally, Luis and Ric look at where Brand New Day leaves Spider-Man, where the story could go from here, and what they would like to see next. Then they wrap things up with a look at what they've been watching recently. Thanks for swinging by and listening to Monorail Tales!

Missy and Solomon's late-July Disney World trip mixed a fun split stay at Fort Wilderness and the Grand Floridian, with Fort Wilderness standing out thanks to the cabins, activities, and relaxed atmosphere. Missy's 40th birthday plans were disrupted by crowds, heat, and hotel issues before ending on a high with a spa day and special dinner, though the vacation was cut short when two of their kids got sick and they headed home early.

Join us as Sheila and Ric chat with friend Carly Grezlik about her recent Walt Disney World vacation with her family. For Carly, it was her first visit to the parks in more than three years, and this trip was extra special as she introduced her husband, Matt, and 12-year-old daughter, Kerrigan, to the magic for the very first time. Along for the adventure was daughter Riley, celebrating her 19th birthday and already a seasoned Walt Disney World veteran alongside her mom. Over four fun-filled days, the family stayed at Disney's All-Star Movies Resort and made the most of every moment, often going from park opening until park close. Kerrigan conquered her very first roller coaster aboard Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, while the entire family agreed that Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind was the standout attraction of the trip. They also explored EPCOT's Kidcot Fun Stop Passport, creating memories throughout the World Showcase. Despite real-feel temperatures soaring to nearly 110 degrees, the family found surprisingly manageable crowds and packed an incredible amount into their vacation. The trip concluded in unforgettable fashion with Disney's new Starlight Parade—Carly's favorite Disney parade to date—followed by Happily Ever After from a perfect viewing spot directly in front of Cinderella Castle. Carly also shares some fun statistics from their vacation, including walking 34.5 miles in just 4½ days, taking home 20 Gideon's cookies, enjoying three Gideon's Peanut Butter Cold Brews, checking off five countries while Drinking Around the World, and, most importantly, making endless magical memories together.

Thomas starts by sharing his adventure and discussing the new changes to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, including new characters and a new musical background score by John Williams. He also describes the nighttime show, "Shadows of Memory," which is like a campfire retelling of the first six movies and includes a pyrotechnic display. Before heading home, Thomas also found time to check out the Bluey: Best Day After stage show. To close out the episode, Thomas shares his Disney After Dark experiences, which he highly recommends getting a ticket for. Thanks for listening to Monorail Tales!

The Florida weather tried to run the show, but we still pulled off a packed Walt Disney World parks trip with plenty of snacks, storms, and hard-earned tips. Five parks. Three days. Were we crazy, lucky, or smart? Yes.We start with the pre-cruise stretch: checking into Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, hopping to EPCOT, and attempting the classic “drinking around the world” challenge in World Showcase while thunder and rain keep forcing us indoors at exactly the right moments.We also share one of our favorite adult breaks at EPCOT: Geo-82, the 21+ lounge inside Spaceship Earth, plus what it's like riding Ratatouille now that the 3D is gone and how Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind hits when you catch a new song. Italy becomes our accidental home base again, and yes, we have thoughts about how easy it is to “get stuck” there once the snacks and drinks start rolling.Then we splurge at Hollywood Studios with Lightning Lane Premiere Pass and explain how it works, what it costs, and why it felt like a true game changer for doing the park in a few hours without living on our phones. After a Disney Springs errand run, we got swept away at DVC's Moonlight Magic at Typhoon Lagoon.Post-cruise, we go full bucket list with a Polynesian Bora Bora bungalow stay, Trader Sam's, and July 4 fireworks from the deck. We wrap the trip with what was supposed to be a relaxing day, but turned into Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom highlights, including Nomad Lounge, a minivan pro tip, Tron, the Beak and Barrel pirate bar, and ride updates like a smoother Big Thunder and a refreshed Buzz Lightyear.Subscribe, share this with your Disney parks planning crew, and leave a rating and review so more Disney fans can find us.

Len Testa and Jim Hill start with snow shovels, snapping turtles, and New Hampshire's ongoing audition for “America's Australia,” then move into a packed Disney Dish. This week, they cover Disney's holiday party calendar, the Grand Floridian gingerbread house retirement, tightening resort-access rules, the BoardWalk's new Hurley Burley lounge, Disneyland's Celebrate Soulfully Yardfest, and Universal Kids Resort's very sunny Texas debut. They also dig into new DVC survey perks, listener questions about Europa Park, Australia in World Showcase, and whether Epcot is due for a monorail-adjacent hotel. Then Jim continues Disney's living-character history with Dinotopia's odd but memorable second life at Walt Disney Studios Park. NEWS • Disney's Hollywood Studios may be targeting August for Magic of Disney Animation, though the building may have opinions of its own. • Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights return with schedules that neatly zip together across the holiday season. • The Grand Floridian gingerbread house is being retired, raising questions about resort crowds, access rules, and guest satisfaction. • Disney's resort-access language continues to tighten around holiday decorations, dining reservations, and who gets to visit which lobby. • The BoardWalk's former Jellyrolls space is set to become Hurley Burley, with family entertainment by day and a 21-and-up lounge by night. • Disneyland's Celebrate Soulfully Yardfest brings HBCU bands, drumlines, and Mickey Mouse as drumline major to Downtown Disney. • Universal Kids Resort opens in Texas with early chatter about short rides, light landscaping, and a shade situation that may require SPF and optimism. FEATURE • Jim explains how sets from ABC's 2002 Dinotopia miniseries wound up on the Studio Tram Tour at Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris. • Waterfall City helped fill out a park that opened with a small budget and a very large need for things guests could see from a tram. • The segment revisits Dinotopia, Reign of Fire, Catastrophe Canyon, and the strange art of letting narration do the work of missing dragons. • Jim sets up next week's look at Pixar Place, the Living Character Initiative, and the Luxo lamp story that still gives Imagineers the thousand-yard stare.

runDisney didn't just tease a surprise this time, it delivered one that can blow up travel plans. We react in real time to the Springtime Surprise weekend shifting dates, what that means for resort reservations and DVC juggling, and why having a good travel advisor can save you hours when Disney changes the calendar. Training talk gets practical fast: running in heat without turning it into a competition, how much to slow down as temps rise, and whether “real feel” should drive your pacing more than the number on the thermometer. We compare notes on when we start carrying hydration, electrolytes, and fuel, plus what pre-hydration looks like before a long run so race weekend doesn't become a dehydration lesson.Then we pivot to something purely fun: a Disney parks and resorts “last meal” draft inspired by the Last Meal podcast. Expect strong opinions and deep cuts, from Sanaa bread service and Morimoto favorites to Tonga Toast, Zebra Domes, Dole Whips, and the Beaches and Cream Kitchen Sink. We wrap with a community-packed race report and a Race Report Spotlight with John.Subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review, then tell us: what's on your Disney last meal plate?Rise and Run LinksRise and Run Podcast Facebook PageRise and Run Podcast InstagramRise and Run Podcast Website and ShopRise and Run PatreonRunningwithalysha Alysha's Run Coaching (Mention Rise And Run and get $10 off)Johns Fundraising Link For The Special Forces Foundation Send us Fan MailSupport the showRise and Run Podcast is supported by our audience.

They're in the parks often, Scott is a cast member, Karen is deep into the travel planning world, and together they have that perfect mix of Disney knowledge, food opinions, cruise love, and geeky little details that make these conversations so much fun.

In This Episode We talk about: Our spoiler-light reactions to Soarin' Over America Why the DVC lounges are such a great hidden perk Favorite current Disney experiences, including BoardWalk, Chefs de France, Citricos, and fireworks cruises Underrated gems like Tiffins, PeopleMover, Little Mermaid, and the Fort Wilderness Segway tour What cast members do behind the scenes to create unexpected magical moments Why Disney Cruise Line feels like “Disney at its best” Palo brunch, cruise fireworks, ship horns, and emotional embarkation moments Planning advice from Karen, including why flexibility matters and why choosing a resort only by price can backfire One of my favorite parts of the episode is hearing Scott talk about cast member pixie dust — those little surprise moments that can turn a guest's day completely around. We also get into what cast members appreciate from guests, and it's a really sweet reminder that kindness goes both ways in Disney World. Then the conversation shifts into Disney Cruise Line, and you can hear how much Scott and Karen love that experience. From Palo brunch to fireworks at sea to the moment your family name is announced when you board the ship, they explain why cruising with Disney hits people emotionally in a way that's hard to describe until you've done it. But the heart of the episode comes near the end. Karen shares that Disney is the place that helps her forget about everything else for a while — the place that brings her true happiness. And I think a lot of us Disney Geeks understand that feeling. It's not always about riding every ride or having the perfect plan. Sometimes it's sitting on a balcony at BoardWalk while it rains. Sometimes it's hearing the Disney Cruise Line horn. Sometimes it's walking under the Disney World sign and feeling your shoulders drop. And sometimes it's just spending time with friends who get it.
