Snack credits are either the best little “vacation cheat code” Disney ever slipped into the Dining Plan - or a spreadsheet-powered trap that turns your family trip into a competitive sport. This week in the Court of the Disney World Resort, Len Testa and Chris Cox argue whether snack credits are a smart way to stretch your Walt Disney World dollars, or just a confusing system that rewards the deeply committed and mildly deranged. Along the way, there is Starbucks math, Epcot festival strategy, and at least one Easy-Bake oven-related conflict of interest. HIGHLIGHTS • Why snack credits can be a secret weapon at EPCOT festivals - especially when you know which items creep up toward that $10 “sweet spot.” • The maddening part of the Dining Plan - there is no consistent rule for what counts as a snack, so you're stuck hunting for the logo like it's a scavenger hunt. • The “snack credit endgame” - realizing on your last day you have a pile of credits left, and suddenly you're importing Rice Krispies treats through customs. • Using snack credits for “breakfast” (because apparently cheesecake counts as dairy and eggs) and other vacation logic that only makes sense inside the Disney bubble. • The philosophical divide - gaming the system for maximum value vs. enjoying the feeling that “past you paid for this,” so present you can just say yes and keep moving.

When Avatar came out in 2009, it shattered box-office records.  And even though it was billed as a sci-fi epic featuring blue aliens on a far-away moon, the movie didn't shy away from a pretty Earth-based message of environmental conservation.So, with a third Avatar hitting theaters this weekend, we were inspired to bust out the popcorn, dim the lights, and play the part of pop culture critics. How do movies – from blockbusters to documentaries to Disney films –  shape our conception of the natural world?SUPPORTTo share your questions and feedback with Outside/In, call the show's hotline and leave us a voicemail.

In this episode, we discuss Disney and artificial intelligence. In early December 2025, Disney made a deal with OpenAI and simultaneously sued Google over Artificial Intelligence. At first, it sounds contradictory. But once you understand Disney's goals, it's actually very on-brand. We break it down in plain language, explore why people are anxious about AI, and look at the arguments on both sides. What are your thoughts on our discussion? Civil discussions encouraged.

Bright Suns! Throughout this year we have celebrated Disneyland's 70th Anniversary by looking at the nine lands of the park. And as the celebration continues in Anaheim, we continue our celebration here on Disney Insights. Today we look at Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. This is perfect because this land especially references the last three film series in the larger trilogy. This week Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out ten years ago into the movie theaters. So much of that film and the two others that fall after it tie into the Black Spire Outpost of Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. We're going to relive the opening of this themed land at Disneyland, talk about the similarities and differences to its twin at Disney's Hollywood Studios, and then share with you my top 7 Easter egg-style references to Star Wars within this land. Join us as we celebrate Star Wars Galaxy's Edge on Disneyland's 70th anniversary. _______________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

Is Avatar: Fire and Ash really the lowest-rated film in the Avatar franchise so far? On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, Roxy Striar breaks down early reactions and critical response to James Cameron's latest entry, including whether the Rotten Tomatoes score truly reflects the film's impact, scale, and ambition—or if expectations for the franchise have simply shifted over time.

PBD and the panel break down Bob Iger's warning that Netflix's deals with Warner Brothers Discovery could hurt consumers, while Pat exposes Disney's stagnation, Iger's hypocrisy, and why Netflix has outpaced Disney by hundreds of billions.

Drew Taylor and Jim Hill kick off this week's show with a genuinely wild media landscape where holiday releases, awards season, and corporate maneuvering are all colliding at once. From a brewing battle over Warner Bros. Discovery to Disney's latest tech-flavored swing, the first half is a rapid tour through what's breaking (and what might be breaking next). Then Jim takes the wheel solo for a longer, history-packed trip over the rainbow, tracing how animation veterans, studio deals, and a certain pair of feuding cartoon animals keep finding their way back to Oz. NEWS • Netflix and Paramount Skydance are reportedly lining up competing bids for Warner Bros. Discovery, with the situation edging into hostile takeover territory • Disney signs a three-year OpenAI licensing and investment deal, reportedly tied to short-form character content and platform experimentation • Zootopia 2 clears the $1 billion worldwide mark, adding to a renewed “WDAS is back” narrative after recent holiday stumbles • The trailer drops for Andy Serkis' Animal Farm, with Seth Rogen voicing Napoleon and Angel Studios handling distribution • A quick remembrance of animator Tony Benedict, whose career path traced the industry's mid-century churn from Disney to TV animation FEATURE • Why Chuck Jones left Termite Terrace, briefly detoured to Disney, then later set up shop at MGM • How Disney's MGM licensing deal and the later Turner-Time Warner corporate shuffle complicated who “owned” what in the Oz rights maze • The surprisingly effective mash-up of MGM legacies in Tom & Jerry and the Wizard of Oz (and why it was successful enough to inspire a return trip) • A lightning round of other animated Oz side-quests, including costly misfires and international oddities HOSTS • Jim Hill - IG: @JimHillMedia | X: @JimHillMedia | Website: JimHillMedia.com • Drew Taylor - IG: @drewtailored | X: @DrewTailored | Website: drewtaylor.work FOLLOW • Facebook: JimHillMediaNews • Instagram: JimHillMedia • TikTok: JimHillMedia SUPPORT Support the show and access bonus episodes and additional content at Patreon.com/JimHillMedia.

00:02:10 — Hollywood Tragedy Exposes America's Spiritual CollapseKnight connects the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife to Hollywood's moral emptiness, arguing fame and ideology have replaced faith and family as America's gods. 00:07:46 — The Futility of Fighting Addiction Through ForceHe explains that addiction stems from spiritual decay, not policy failure, warning that government “solutions” only expand bureaucracy while ignoring moral renewal. 00:09:10 — America's Real Drug Problem Is the Death of FaithKnight says the collapse of belief in God—not opioids—is the true epidemic, showing how moral and spiritual apathy paved the way for national self-destruction. 00:24:21 — Trump as Globalist Arsonist, Not Populist SaviorKnight exposes how Trump's tariffs, vaccine programs, and digital control initiatives align perfectly with the globalist technocracy he claims to oppose. 01:04:42 — U.S. Seizes Venezuelan Oil Tanker, Collapsing Cuba's Energy SupplyHe reveals how sanctions and naval seizures now serve as acts of economic warfare targeting entire populations under the guise of “anti-terror” or “anti-drug” policy. 01:06:15 — The Coming AI Energy CrisisKnight warns that AI's enormous power demand will cause global shortages, forcing rationing and energy centralization in the name of “progress.” 01:15:09 — “MerryChristmas.gov”: Worship of Government Over GodHe ridicules Trump's “12 Days of Government” propaganda site, saying it celebrates federal power as divine providence—an inversion of Christian charity. 01:26:33 — Intelligent Design and the Absurdity of EvolutionKnight applauds renewed scientific defense of creationism, arguing Darwinian materialism underpins technocratic arrogance and moral relativism. 01:41:05 — The Exploitation Behind AI “Girlfriends”He exposes how “AI companion” apps rely on low-wage workers pretending to be bots, turning loneliness and lust into a profitable illusion. 02:07:09 — Disney Partners With OpenAI to Mass-Produce PropagandaKnight calls Disney's deal with OpenAI the final death of storytelling, turning art into algorithmic indoctrination for globalist social messaging. 02:15:27 — AI Data Centers Will Bankrupt the Power GridHe warns that taxpayer-subsidized AI infrastructure will consume so much power it forces rationing and economic dependency on elite-owned grids. 02:50:21 — UFO Programs Reveal Government Obsession With the OccultKnight concludes with evidence that secret Pentagon projects link UFOs, psychic research, and occultism—proof that modern technocracy is spiritually deranged at its core.

Sanchez—a rising star with undeniable range and charisma—who recently made her mark as school rebel ‘Jade' in Disney Channel's series Electric Bloom.

Electric Bloom” follows the three members of the now mega-famous pop group Electric Bloom as they look back and tell the story of their band and friendship, starting with the day they all met in high school. The girls go on a journey to becoming the biggest band in the world and the best friends in the universe. More About Carmen Born in Mexico and raised in a vibrant Cuban household, Carmen is a true triple threat—actor, singer, and dancer—who's been steadily building momentum since she stole hearts at just eight years old on La Voz Kids(Team Yankee!). That breakout moment launched a professional career that includes a national tour with Broadway's On Your Feet, a standout appearance on America's Most Musical Family alongside her dad, and guest roles on Nickelodeon's Side Hustle. Now 17, Carmen is ready for her breakout. In Electric Bloom, she plays Jade—a sharp-edged, music-loving rebel whose story mirrors Carmen's own blend of grit, rhythm, and soul. Off-screen, she fronts her own band, Carmen and the Havana Band, performing to packed crowds in Southwest Florida, and is currently writing and recording original music. #LatinosOutLoud #Podcast #Comedy #Latino #CarmenSanchez #ElectricBloom #Disney #DisneyChannel #LatinoStories #LatinoCulture #Loud

Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, The Nice Guys)  Jim Herzfeld (Meet The Parents/Fockers), Fred Dekker (Preditor), & David Silverman (The Simpsons) reminisce about their college hangout that became the social group that supported their life and art for the rest of their lives.  They describe a house full of UCLA film nerds with a 24 hour open house policy.  It was young guys finding themselves and their drive and their fun by making a scene in the early 1980's. Movie watching, game playing, movie making, and joking around led to a group of people that has made some of the biggest films of the last 30 years.  Bio: JIM HERZFELD is an American film and television screenwriter who has also done work as a television producer. Herzfeld graduated from UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television (TFT) and his earliest TV credit – on the ground breaking “It's Garry Shandling's Show” -- was followed by almost 10 years of writing and producing episodes on dozens of sitcom staffs, including the Fox TV classic "Married... With Children." Herzfeld's earliest feature film work was a writing credit on the cult comedy “Tapeheads“ in 1988. His most successful work was writing the screenplay for the 2000 film” Meet the Parents” as well as writing the story and screenplay for its 2004 sequel “Meet the Fockers.” To date, both those films remain on the list of the 20 Highest Grossest Comedies. More recently, in 2015 his screenplay for “Meet the Parents” was selected by the Writer's Guild of America's as one of the “101 Funniest Screenplays” of all time. Herzfeld was also the writer of the canceled Circle 7 Animation version of Toy Story 3 and has done countless punch-up and rewrites on dozens of big budget comedies and animated films for virtually every major studio.  Herzfeld has also guest lectured about screenwriting at several major universities, including NYU, UCLA and AFI along with appearing on writer panels at various film festivals, most notably the Austin Film Festival where Jim was a judge for their Comedy Screenplay Competition. Currently, Herzfeld continues to write and develop comedy screenplays and recently became an advisor for Scripthop, a software startup focused on revolutionizing how screenplays are both presented and circulated throughout the entertainment industry. FRED DEKKER - Pursuing a movie career, he moved to Los Angeles where his fledgling screenwriting efforts led to a Hollywood agent and a job writing Godzilla: King of the Monsters for director Steve Miner. Although the film went unproduced, Dekker provided the story for Miner's 1985 horror-comedy House, starring William Katt (screenplay by Ethan Wiley). The film was recognized by the Fantasporto and the Avoriaz Film Festivals, and spawned several sequels. Dekker made his directorial debut with Night of the Creeps, an homage to B-movies that eventually developed a devoted cult following. He went on to direct another cult favorite, The Monster Squad, co-written with his UCLA friend Shane Black. He subsequently wrote five episodes of Tales From The Crypt, including the first episode, directed by Robert Zemeckis. In 1991, Dekker conceived the Denzel Washington starrer Ricochet and the spy spoof If Looks Could Kill, both for Warner Bros. He then returned to the director's chair for the third RoboCop film, co-written with comic book legend Frank Miller. As a script doctor, Dekker made uncredited contributions to films including Titan A.E. and Lethal Weapon 4. He then served as Consulting Producer and wrote three episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise. In 2015, he reteamed with Shane Black on a western TV pilot for Amazon Studios, entitled Edge. The two went on to co-write the 2018 release The Predator, which Black also directed. Dekker's international awards include the Silver Raven from the Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film; the Estrella de Fantastico Award from the 2019 Bilbao Fantasy Film Festival; and the 2024 Honorary Time Machine Award (Premi Màquina del Temps) at the Sitges Film Festival for his contributions to horror and fantasy cinema. He is currently developing a true crime limited series for Amazon based on a murder which occurred in his hometown.SHANE BLACK is a writer/director whose writing credits include such films as Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout, The Long Kiss Goodnight and The Monster Squad.  He began as a director in 2005 with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and receives increasingly strident sequel requests for 2016's The Nice Guys.  He is currently writing a spec original and trying to lose some weight by New Years'.  Not that he's fat -- he's just old, and being careful.DAVID SILVERMAN After graduating from UCLA in 1983, David Silverman worked as a freelance illustrator and animator until, in 1987, he landed a job animating on The Tracey Ullman Show — where The Simpsons began. Animating on all 48 shorts led to David directing the first shows of The Simpsons. Starting with the Christmas Special in December 1989, and then the premiere episode the following month, David soon became Supervising Animation Director and a producer on The Simpsons. All told, he has directed 24 episodes and has won 4 Emmys along the way.  When no one was looking, David snuck away from The Simpsons to work at DreamWorks (The Road to El Dorado – co-director), Pixar (Monsters, Inc. – co-director), and Blue Sky (Ice Age, Robots – writing and boarding). But, he came back to the show full-time at the end of 2003 and directed The Simpsons Movie. In 2012, David directed and co-wrote the short film The Longest Daycare about Maggie Simpson, which earned him an Academy Award nomination.And since the Disney acquisition of The Simpsons (via the purchase of Fox), David has directed 10 Simpsons shorts especially for Disney+, as well as several promotional pieces.Editing Notes: There are many verbal cuts on the show we directed to Dan. Also after the show, Shane Black emailed and ask we cut out this.  I say “It's nice your place was a rape free environment” and Shane says something like: “But not rape free for guys,”. He wants his comment cut.

In this episode of Get Scene Unscripted, Jesse Malinowski breaks down the big industry news everyone is talking about: Disney's partnership with OpenAI and the release of Sora — and what it actually means for actors.Instead of feeding fear, Jesse offers a grounded, long-term perspective rooted in history, creativity, and mindset.In this conversation, Jesse covers:What Disney's partnership with OpenAI really involvesWhy AI-generated characters are not the same thing as replacing actorsHow fear and anger shut down creativity — and opportunityWhy actors are not at the “top of the food chain,” and why that mattersThe parallels between AI and past industry shifts like television and CGIA powerful story about someone using AI to finally become an artistWhy curiosity is the only mindset that creates momentumHow assumptions — not facts — derail acting careersWhy most actors don't fail because of technology, but because they stop enjoying the journeyJesse challenges actors to stop clenching their fists and start asking better questions:What's possible now? How can I adapt? How can this serve my creativity instead of killing it?This episode is about choice — fear or curiosity — and why one leads to stagnation while the other leads to opportunity.

To finish up our Disney Series, we wanted to talk about a few things you can do that don't involve the four main parks. Putt Putt and Water Parks! Winter Summerland Mini GolfIt's festive, holiday-themed mini-golf, featuring two unique 18-hole courses (Winter & Summer) that tell the story of Santa and his elves building a Florida vacation spot, with wintry, snowy obstacles on the Winter course and tropical, beachy elements on the Summer course, offering year-round Christmas fun for all ages. Key Features:Two Courses: You can choose between the snowy, North Pole-themed Winter Course or the sandy, tropical Summer Course, both celebrating Christmas.Immersive Theming: Expect festive decorations like snow-covered pine trees, melting snowmen, Santa's RV, palm trees, and even Squirty the Snowman, who sprays water. Fantasia Gardens and Fairways Mini GolfDisney World miniature golf complex near the Swan & Dolphin Resort, featuring two distinct 18-hole courses: Fantasia Gardens, a whimsical, family-friendly course themed to the movie Fantasia with characters and obstacles, and Fantasia Fairways, a more challenging, scaled-down traditional golf course with bunkers, water hazards, and sloping greens. Guests can play either course for a different experience, with the Gardens course focusing on fun and the Fairways course on skill.  Typhoon LagoonTyphoon Lagoon is a typhoon-themed water park. It opened in 1989. The park's theme is based on a storm that destroyed a tropical paradise, featuring a 60-foot-tall man-made volcano, "Mount Mayday," with a shipwrecked shrimp boat, "Miss Tilly," on top. Key features: The park is home to one of the world's largest outdoor wave pools, generating 6-foot swells every 90 seconds.Typhoon Lagoon Surf Pool: A massive wave pool.Castaway Creek: A lazy river that circles the park.Slides: Including Humunga Kowabunga (three dark speed slides), Storm Slides (body slides), and Missadventure Falls (a family raft ride).Crush 'n' Gusher: A water coaster with two-person rafts.Ketchakiddee Creek: A water play area designed for children 48 inches and shorter.Fun Fact: The park's mascot is Lagoona Gator, who is related to the mascot of the nearby Blizzard Beach water park Blizzard Beach Blizzard Beach is a unique, ski resort-themed water park built around the whimsical backstory of a freak Florida blizzard that created a melted ski resort. Key Features:Theme: A melting ski resort with a "snowy" vibe, complete with ski patrol theming and icy-looking structures.Attractions: Includes extreme slides (Summit Plummet, Downhill Double Dipper), family raft rides, a lazy river, and kids' areas.Summit Plummet: a 120-foot-tall (12 stories) freefall body slide that plunges riders at speeds up to 60 mph down a near-vertical slope, mimicking a ski jump for an intense, quick thrill.Mount Gushmore: The central mountain structure that houses many of the slides, accessible by a ski lift.Melt-Away Bay: A large wave pool.Heated Water: The water is kept warm, making it enjoyable year-round

But one question has never quite surfaced in these conversations: how do you become a Disney book collector?

Then Davis Wright Tremaine partner Rob Driscoll joins the show to delve into the copyright concerns and potential trademark issues surrounding brands' use of generative AI tools (16:40).

We learn about the Selena documentary, and the life, career, and death of the Tejano singer, who was killed by a disgruntled employee. We find out the evolutionary advantage of kissing, which animals do it, how scientists define "kissing," and why it actually could protect us from harm. Susie explains why raccoons might become the next domesticated animals, why they seem to be ushering in their pet era, and why experts are convinced it's inevitable. We discuss the new female test dummy (or smartie as Susie calls her), and why it took so long to get it made, why people still aren't happy, and why it's so expensive to make. We're mad at the Guinness World Book of Records again because of their evolving business model and the schemes they're using to make bank. And Susie talks about the Stiller and Meara documentary, about the comedy duo and their famous son, Ben Stiller, and why despite their fame, they're more relatable than you'd think.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:For 50% off your order, head to https://www.dailylook.com and use code BRAINCANDYGo to https://cozyearth.com and use my code BRAINCANDY for up to 20% off!Get $35 off Aura's best-selling Carver Mat frames - named #1 by Wirecutter - by going to https://auraframes.com and using promo code BRAINCANDY at checkout.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Construction at Animal Kingdom's upcoming Encanto attraction is finally starting to pop above the fence line, and Jim and Len do what they do best - stare at aerial photos until they start seeing ride-height changes and possible “big thing” anchors. Then the show veers into a surprisingly tight math problem: is it actually cheaper for an American couple to fly to Japan and do Tokyo Disney than it is to do a weekend at Walt Disney World? (Spoiler: the internet is almost right, which is somehow worse.) NEWS• Aerial photos suggest the Encanto ride site at Animal Kingdom may include a ride-height change (and at least one very suspicious hole in the ground).• Orange County tourist tax collections hit a new record for October, up 15 percent year over year - yes, people are still going to Orlando.• Disney Cruise Line Port Canaveral numbers show strong October sailings - Disney Magic at 81 percent occupancy, Treasure and Wish at 89 percent.• Hallmark and Disney team up for the first in-park holiday movie, “Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True,” arriving in 2026.• Disney's surprise AI headline: a reported $1 billion OpenAI investment tied to Disney characters appearing in Sora, and what Disney might really be building toward. FEATURE• Why Remy's Ratatouille Adventure (and its Paris counterpart) reportedly switched from 3D to 2D - guest comfort, visibility, and the ongoing cost of 3D glasses.• The long history of Disney's ever-changing 3D eyewear “story names,” from MuppetVision safety goggles to opera glasses and beyond.• The wild near-miss: Avatar: Flight of Passage allegedly came close to becoming 2D, and how producer Jon Landau pushed back.
