Welcome to West of Wonderland, where the primary question of the day is: what kind of wacky are YOU? Secondary questions include, but are not limited to: do you have a commemorative Disney 100 coffee table book? How about a Walt Disney quotes book? What's fun about unboxing, and why? How would you explain Imagineering, and Walt Disney's leadership style? What would happen if you stopped asking "will this happen?" and started asking, "how will this happen?" Plus, Laura cries about an Instagram reel.

News: Bob Iger talked about the company and the parks during a question and answer session at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom Conference. He emphasized that reducing crowds in the parks was important to improving the guest experience. It sounds like part of the process to help with that would be to add new capacity and attractions to serve more guests. – https://www.micechat.com/350274-disneyland-update-the-one-two-punch/ and https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/03/ceo-bob-iger-talks-disney-parks-guest-experience-rethinking-pricing-strategies-and-opportunities-to-add-more-attractions/ Spring Break season has descended upon the resort. This year, it has been very interesting to see the crowds because of the on again, off again weather changes. On the nice weather days, the parks feel like they are back to the pre-pandemic levels, then just a day later with rain, the parks seem deserted. Waits on the rainy days were mostly under 30 minutes – https://www.micechat.com/350274-disneyland-update-the-one-two-punch/ Nightly fireworks have returned to the resort for the higher crowds and spring break. Usually, the fireworks are only part of the show from Friday through Sunday. Now, they are performed every night, which is a wonderful way to see Wondrous Journeys. – https://www.micechat.com/350274-disneyland-update-the-one-two-punch/ Walt Disney Imagineering were at it again showing off some of the new technology that they have been working on at a Disney Parks presentation at South by Southwest. Some of the eye-catching things included a “life size” Tinker Bell. In addition, they demoed a small dynamic robot that could bring Judy Hopps to life, along with showing off the Hulk character that was in Avengers Campus in September. – https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/03/new-look-at-life-size-tinker-bell-for-disney-parks-meet-and-greet-may-still-debut/ and https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/03/video-disney-parks-shares-closer-look-at-life-size-tiny-tinker-bell-technology/ The rest of Toontown opens this weekend, but another smaller part of the land has opened. EngineEar Souvenirs has opened as the attached gift shop to Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway. The new shop is very themed to trains, including a train that travels around the store above guest's heads. The shop carries a lot of Toontown and Runaway Railway attraction merchandise. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2023/03/10/disney-opened-a-new-store-today-come-check-it-out/ and https://www.micechat.com/349905-disneyland-toontown-merchandise-engineear-souvenirs/ St. Patrick's Day is this Friday and of course, Disneyland has some treats to help celebrate! Guests can pick up some shamrock-shaped rice crispy treats, green stuff at Red Rose Tavern, a cupcake and donut at Craftsman Grill at the Grand Californian Hotel, and a cocktail at the Hearthstone Lounge though March 19th. Downtown Disney also has an assortment of options for the holiday. – https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/03/full-list-of-st-patricks-day-2023-food-beverages-coming-to-disneyland-resort/ and https://www.micechat.com/350274-disneyland-update-the-one-two-punch/ Sunday, April 9th is Easter and that can mean only one thing: Handmade Chocolate Fudge Easter Eggs are back! Every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday until Easter, guests can pick up an egg for $12.99 at the Candy Palace. If you don't want that much sugar, you can just watch Cast Members make them in the window of Candy Palace. No word on the flavors for this year just yet. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2023/03/10/disneys-famous-chocolate-easter-eggs-are-back/ and https://www.micechat.com/350274-disneyland-update-the-one-two-punch/ Minnie has once again returned to welcome guests to Disneyland! The Mickey floral has been replaced by the Minnie floral for International Women's Day, which was on March 8th. We expect Minnie to stay in place for at least a few weeks. – https://www.micechat.com/350274-disneyland-update-the-one-two-punch/ We talk about synergy between the Disney brands that used to happen a lot in the parks, and there is some that has come back recently. Now through April 30th at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, a special Hulu-inspired Coca-Cola Freestyle flavor will be available. The new flavor is called Hulu Fanta Suprise and helps to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the streaming service.  – https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/03/limited-time-hulu-inspired-coca-cola-freestyle-flavor-coming-to-disneyland-resort-and-walt-disney-world/ We talked about Adventureland Day last week, but our past guest Freddy Martin, better known as “Skipper Freddy” has posted a wonderful article on this year's event and what it all entails. To read all about it, check out the link in our show notes. – https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/03/khaki-crowds-descend-on-disneyland-for-adventureland-day-2023/ Discussion Topic: Don Morin – Founder and Host of PNW Mouse Meet Since 2009 Don and his team have been creating a magical experience for thousands of Guests. “Passion, Disney Fandom and giving them more than they expect are key ingredients to our success!” The PNW Mouse Meet is an unofficial Disney Fan Event that was created by Disney Fans FOR Disney Fans.

Dr. Erkeda DeRouen talks to Katie Baca-Motes, co-founder of the Scripps Research Digital Trials Center. She is also the senior director for Scripps Research's strategic initiatives. They talk about the best Walt Disney Imagineering concepts and practices that can be applied to improve medicine and healthcare.   [01:14] Introducing Katie Baca-Motes [05:03] Walt Disney Imagineering [07:46] Imagineering in Healthcare [12:29] Digital Research Opportunities [15:13] What Would You Change in Healthcare?   Lessons from Walt Disney Imagineers After graduating from business school, Katie had the opportunity to work at Walt Disney. Being an imagineer entailed behind the scenes work such as producing special effects, conceptualizing rides, or in Katie's case, researching behavioral economics and consumer behavior.  Drawing on her past experiences as an imagineer, Katie believes there's a lot of approaches that can be applied to healthcare. One of them was “blue sky thinking” where you are encouraged to think outside the box. For the moment, forget all the realistic constraints in order to come up with innovative solutions. Another thing they did at Disney was that they involved different departments during brainstorming. It was a way to learn and understand multiple perspectives. If clinicians and medical professionals can think big and acknowledge other voices, then healthcare would be much better off.    Caring for and Empowering Patients Katie also believes that taking inspiration from Disney's naming convention can help improve healthcare. At Disney, customers are called “guests”, which already shifts the way its staff members treat them. Staff members are not just crew personnel, their title motivates them to create the best experience possible for guests. Similarly, if we can give empowering labels and put patients at the center of care, then we can provide the best care possible.   You can reach Katie Baca-Motes through her Twitter and Linkedin. Visit the Scripps Research Digital Trial Center website to learn more about their studies and opportunities.  You can watch Dr. Erkeda DeRouen's talk about Disney and Healthcare on the TEDx YouTube.   To learn more about how MedSchoolCoach can help you along your medical school journey, visit us at Prospective Doctor.

WDW Radio # 712 - Interview with Former Imagineer Steve Kirk - From the WDW Radio Archives After visiting EPCOT this past week, and in thinking about the future of that park, specifically the Imagination pavilion, I went way back into the WDW Radio Archives to being you one of my earliest interviews. Let's go back to 2007 and Show # 30, when, as part of my Legends of Disney Imagineering feature, I shared my conversation with former Imagineer Steve Kirk. Steve helped come up with the initial concepts for Figment and the Dreamfinder, as well as the Journey Into Imagination attraction, and also helped develop some of Disney's most memorable characters, attractions, pavilions, and even complete theme parks, including being the creative leader of Tokyo DisneySea. We also talk about Epcot, the Studios and so much more. I would later come to interview his brother, Tim Kirk about his work at Imagineering, specifically at the Disney-MGM Studios, but that is another trip to the archives for another day. For now, sit back, relax, and enjoy my conversation (and forgive my voice), with the fascinating and talented Steve Kirk. ---------------------------------- WDWRadio.com - Visit the site and blog WDWRadio.com/Clubhouse - Join the community and conversation on Facebook WDWRadioNATION - Get monthly rewards, and help support the show WDWRadioLIVE.com - Watch and chat LIVE Wednesdays at 7:30pm ET WDWRadio.com/Podcasts - Show notes, past episodes, links, and photos WDWRadio.com/Events - WDW Radio Disney meets, events, cruises, and more!

Theron Skees is a highly adaptive, solution-oriented creative executive with 30 years of experience assembling and leading multi-disciplined teams for both domestic and international projects in the Themed Entertainment Industry.  Theron is a veteran of Walt Disney Imagineering and he has led diverse creation, design, and construction projects from hundreds of millions to multiple billions of dollars in a wide variety of experience types.  He is a corporate culture evangelist who applies vision, strategy, focus, and high personal standards to advance design and increase brand equity by using stories as the key element to deliver business goals and make an emotional connection to guests. Theron founded The Designer's Creative Studio to leverage his skills and experiences for the worldwide business community. Listen in for some great takeaways from his time at Disney and his passion for creating unbelievable experiences for people.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Learn more about Theron and The Designer's Creative Studio [3:20] What business owners can learn from the Disney experience [6:26]  How they approach the physical environments on Disney cruise ships [11:40]  Why being laid off from Disney was the best thing that ever happened [15:56]  Theron shares why every business needs to find its “Why” [22:50] How Theron uses creativity and storytelling to design customer experiences [25:49]  Why getting to know your customers inside and out really matters [30:18]  The importance of making creativity part of your company culture [34:15]  Why Theron screens and selects the clients he works with carefully [38:27] What Theron did today that put him in the right mindset for success [43:02] Why being laid off from Disney was the best thing that ever happened One of Theron's favorite quotes was Eleanor Roosevelt's: “I'm like a tea bag. You never know how strong I am until you put me in hot water.” His career in Imagineering at Disney equated to that. Every new role he took on was something he'd never done before. He continued to take on bigger and bigger roles. He worked 70-hour weeks and traveled at least one week a month. When he was designing cruise ships, he had to fly 9 hours and drive two hours to simply get to the shipyard.  When he was laid off, he realized it was a gift. He notes that very few opportunities give you time to stop, think, and reevaluate. Theron decided to take the rest of his career and manage it the way he wanted to. Now he does consulting, keynotes and workshops, and executive coaching. He's doing what he loves and interacting with people he enjoys working with.  Theron shares why every business needs to find its “Why” Your “why” is important on every level. Theron uses Simon Sinek's Golden Circle process with clients. He's typically hired to help clients refine their brands. So the first thing they do is cover their why: Who are you as a company? Why do you do what you do? From there, the how and the what are easier to put together.  Your why story as a company should be expressed in every single touchpoint of your brand—your website, your people, your social media, and more. Engaging your customer in the why of your brand helps create consistency in their experience. How Theron uses creativity and storytelling to design customer experiences Theron is a believer in the Experience Economy approach. Whether it's a product or service, it emphasizes that you're dealing with human beings. And humans catalog memories in story format. So it only makes sense to create experiences driven by story.  Every type of interaction with your brand should be designed to be memorable. If you create story-driven experiences that create an emotional connection between your customer and your brand, what you do becomes magical. They'll want to repeat the experience again and again. It works in every vertical of the economy. Story is a consistent element that drives brand equity and creates built-in differentiation within your own segment.  The importance of making creativity part of your company culture Business people should be more creative and creative people need to be more business-minded. Businesses need to stay nimble and make decisions quickly. Risk-taking is allowing yourself to fail forward.  As humans, we get comfortable when we move into success. It's easy to camp on that. But many big box stores that did that are no longer in existence (like Sears and Toys R Us). You need to be fast on your feet and think in terms of impossible things. You can't be 100% satisfied with where you are. How would you tackle something that seems impossible? Being creative shakes things up.  Theron is a wealth of information about designing customer experiences that are memorable to gain lifelong customers.

This weekend Splash Mountain ended at Walt Disney World after more than 30 years of operation. Soon Disneyland, which built the first Splash Mountain, will close as well. While there may be controversy of its replacement, there is no question, this attraction was a brilliant Imagineering masterpiece. Led by designers like Tony Baxter and Bruce Gordon, this attraction did what no other ride or attraction could do--especially for Disneyland and later for Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland. We not only explore the brilliance of this attraction, but celebrate it for what it accomplished. While there is much good regarding the advent of Tiana's Bayou Adventure, there will never be anything like the innovation that is Disney's Splash Mountain. This podcast is dedicated to celebrating this Imagineering masterpiece.

If you were to pick one thing that was at the heart of all the Disney magic that we've come to love, it would have to be imagination. It IS the first part of Imagineering after all! And of course there's a whimsical attraction which shows us the importance of setting our imagination free. So sit back, relax and join us, as we climb aboard the Journey Into Imagination with Figment!

Pirates of the Caribbean is considered to be the last attraction that Walt Disney personally oversaw from beginning to end. This Disneyland classic opened in March of 1967, just a few months of Walt's passing, and has been an integral part of the park for over 55 years. Located in New Orleans Square, this iconic ride has inspired a blockbuster movie series and four additional Pirates of the Caribbean attractions around the world (Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris, Tokyo Disneyland and Shanghai Disneyland). It's also my personal favorite attraction at Disneyland Park. In this podcast episode, we discuss the history of Pirates of the Caribbean (the original Disneyland version), including its design, story, music, and Imagineering, along with some fun facts, details, and an audio recording of the attraction (recorded in 2022).

In the video, music from the new show and concept artwork and testing for the new show we previewed. https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2022/12/disneyland-resort-reveals-new-details-for-wondrous-journeys-coming-to-disneyland-park-beginning-jan-27/ In the early morning hours of December 29th, a small fire broke out at the New Orleans Square Station. The fire was contained to the small building on the far right of the station, across the tracks from where guests queue up to board. The water tower next to the building involved does not appear to have been damaged. The train opened with the rest of the park that morning, with scrims already up masking the damage from guests. No word on the cause of the fire yet. https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2022/12/29/small-fire-confirmed-by-cast-members-at-disneyland-resort/#more-759349 With Lunar New Year just around the corner, Disney has announced the food marketplaces that will be available this year. Returning are Lucky 9 Lantern, Prosperity Bao & Buns, Red Dragon Spice Traders, and Longevity Noodle Co. New this year are Bamboo Blessings, and Wrapped with Love. The booths will serve a variety of Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese foods. Returning for the event is the Sip and Savor Pass. Lunar New Year kicks off on January 20th and runs through February 15th. https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/disney-california-adventure/lunar-new-year-food-marketplaces/ Since the introduction of the Genie+ service, it has been pretty much available to everyone. The service sold out for three days in a row between Christmas and New Year's Eve. The service was even at a higher price point for those days when it sold out. Guests were not completely out of luck, the individual Lightning Lane reservations for Rise of the Resistance and Radiator Springs Racers were still available. If you are planning on going to Disneyland during a busy time of year, make sure to purchase Genie+ early in the day to avoid missing it if it sells out. https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2022/12/28/genie-sells-out-in-disneyland/#more-758995 This year will bring some new perks to the Magic Key program at Disneyland. New items are coming to the Magic Key Terrace, like Barbeque Short Rib Sliders, and a Mint Julep Cocktail. Key Holders who purchase the Disney100 popcorn bucket will get refills for just $1.50 each through February 12th. A new Disney100 print will be available for pickup, and booking Walt's Main Street Story guided tour between January 9th and January 26th will receive a commemorative button. A Magic Key exclusive Pandora charm will also be available, in addition to new PhotoPass Magic Shots between January 9th and January 19th. https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2022/12/28/new-perks-announced-for-disneyland-magic-key-holders/#more-758886 At long last, the Indiana Jones Adventure will be getting the TLC it deserves and has sorely needed for quite some time now. A new animatronic snake was spotted by various online sources, which we spotted ourselves when riding the monorail on our December trip. This means that at the very least, we will have a fixed snake in the attraction. Currently, the refurbishment is scheduled to last from January 9th to "Spring, 2023." This is quite the length of time and is a good sign that things will be much better when it returns! https://www.micechat.com/342798-disneyland-update-and-the-verdict-is/ There are some changes coming to a couple of popular stores in Downtown Disney. Wonderground Gallery and the Disney Home store are closing on January 9th and will return with some changes. The rumor for the Wonderground Gallery is that it will be moving to the old ESPN building, which will give it a lot more space and finally do something with the empty building. The Disney Home store then may expand into the Wonderground Gallery space next door. During the closure, much of the merchandise from these stores will be available at other Downtown Disney locations. https://www.micechat.com/343186-disneyland-news-wonderground-gallery-disney-home-set-for-transformation/ New Years Eve at Disneyland was a wet one, but that didn't keep guests away. Disneyland setup some temporary barriers to keep walkways open and separate from fireworks viewing, directional signage to help guests get around in the crowds, and more. For those of you who watched the entertainment on TV through Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve with Ryan Seacrest, you would think that the park was dry and full of famous performers. This was not the case since most of these were pre-recorded. The rain did make for a great light show at midnight to ring in the new year. Other than attraction wait times being very long because of Genie+ reservations, the park was a pretty great place to be. https://www.micechat.com/343222-disneyland-update-dont-let-the-door-hit-you-on-the-way-out/ The Magic Shop on Main Street has been run by Houdini Magic since 2009 but was recently purchased by Vanishing Inc. The new owners are looking to make some changes to the Magic Shop, which current employees of the location are optimistic about. When completed, the store should be more impressive inside and out. https://www.micechat.com/343222-disneyland-update-dont-let-the-door-hit-you-on-the-way-out/ Shortly after the Lunar New Year Celebration wraps up, the Food & Wine Festival will be moving in on March 3rd. No new food booths have been announced this year, but all the booths from last year's celebration should be returning. Just like with the Lunar New Year Celebration, the Sip and Savor Pass will be for sale, offering 8 tabs that can be used at any of the 12 booths. https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2022/12/29/food-booths-announced-for-2023-food-and-wine-festival-in-disney-california-adventure/ During Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years' Eve with Ryan Seacrest, a short preview was shown of World of Color - ONE coming to Disney California Adventure on January 27th. Encanto, Soul, Mulan, and Pocahontas scenes were shown in the short promo for the celebration. At the very end, there was even a Star Wars section which will be only the second time Star Wars has been in a World of Color show. https://dlnewstoday.com/2022/12/video-first-look-at-world-of-color-one-star-wars-scenes-confirmed/ Discussion Tage and Teresa – Disney Studios and Imagineering

Doris Hardoon became a Disney Legend in 2022 and was recognized at the D23 Expo that same year. Starting at Walt Disney Imagineering (WED Enterprises at the time), Doris worked on the development of EPCOT alongside folks like Rolly Crump, Marty Sklar, and John Hench. As a designer and stylist, Doris's first official project was The Land Pavilion. Over the span of her 40-year career at Imagineering, Doris went on to work on every Disney castle park around the world. She also helped lead the development of Shanghai Disneyland as an Executive Creative Director and Producer and the Castle of Magical Dreams at Hong Kong Disneyland. In this podcast episode, I chat with Doris about his career at Walt Disney Imagineering, including some of the attractions she helped bring to life. We also discuss WESTCOT, which she helped develop as a potential project for California, and her work with her design consulting company, DDesign. What is your favorite Doris Hardoon creation?

Over the course of his 40 year career with the Walt Disney Company, Joe worked at Imagineering, the creative arm that designs and builds everything from cruise ships, theme parks, rides and attractions, hotels, and infrastructure systems for the company's theme parks and resorts. During his tenure, he oversaw several projects, including Disney's Animal Kingdom Park, Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa, Expedition Everest, and Pandora, the world of Avatar.  Joe is now retired, but still takes on projects like his work a strategic adviser with Virgin Galactic, one of a handful of companies aiming to commercialize space travel.

On October 29, 2022, we held a special talk with women who made an indelible impact on some of Walt Disney Imagineering's most iconic and enduring projects. On part two of this special two-part episode of WD-FM, hear the stories of Elisabete (Eli) Minceff Erlandson and Tori Atencio McCullough—two contributing authors of Women of Walt Disney Imagineering. Elisabete (Eli) Minceff Erlandson wanted to study art, but her immigrant parents insisted she study anything else and encouraged medicine or engineering. She chose architecture, which had its own challenges as a male-dominated profession. For many years, she was the only woman at WDI who had an architectural license. She worked on 11 of the 12 Disney theme parks and has lived in Hong Kong and Paris. She is also an accomplished set designer and art director. Tori Atencio McCullough is another Imagineer with deep Disney roots—her father, Disney Legend X Atencio, was a Disney artist and writer. McCullough spent her 40-year career at WDI in the interior design studio as both a designer and manager, and in those two roles has worked on every Disney theme park. Women of Walt Disney Imagineering is available now!

When you think of the Magic Kingdom, or Disney for that matter, one of the first images that probably comes to mind is Cinderella Castle. And why not? The Castle is the very symbol of Walt Disney World, and the Magic Kingdom's iconic structure. But Cinderella Castle is far from the only iconic structure in Walt Disney World. Each park has their own, as do many of the individual lands. Tonight, we're going to explore the details, history, fun facts, and magical moments of these icons, and we just might do a little bit of Imagineering along the way. So sit back, relax and join us, as we explore: the Icons of Walt Disney World!

There can be little question - especially for folks who have been passengers onboard the Halcyon - that Disney's Galactic Starcruiser voyage is truly a work of art. Accordingly, like any other great work of art, the experience is designed to evoke strong feelings.However, because experiencing the voyage is 100% interactive and not passive like watching a movie or TV show or reading a book, the emotions it elicits can be significantly more powerful - both during and after a trip aboard the Halcyon.We invited former guest Jen Catania of Jen Eyre Cosplay to come discuss these feelings with us and how the Imagineering & LARP wizards at Disney have crafted the experience with these emotional journeys in mind. We talk about LARP 'bleed' and LARP 'drop' and also about how Jen apparently has bad luck around giant robots. :)There are no spoilers in this episode . . . except to say we all love the Halcyon and our voyages . . . But you knew that, right?Jen Eyre CosplayJen Eyre Cosplay InstagramGalactic Starcruiser Drop - Post-Voyage Emotional Support group on FacebookHeroes of the Halcyon on InstagramTheme Music ("Digital Discourse") by Yellow BarrelSend your email to heroesofthehalcyon@gmail.com - we'd love to hear from you about your journeys, episode suggestions, or just to say hi!

On October 29, 2022, we held a special talk with women who made an indelible impact on some of Walt Disney Imagineering's most iconic and enduring projects. On part one of this special two-part episode of WD-FM, hear the stories of Peggie Farriss and Kathy Rogers—two contributing authors of Women of Walt Disney Imagineering. Peggie Fariss began her 50-year career at Disney as an Attractions Hostess on the Storybook Land Canal Boats at Disneyland park. She was instrumental in the research for the EPCOT's Spaceship Earth attraction and later became WDI's liaison to corporate sponsors. Her experience representing WDI's artistic vision led to her final assignment as a creative development executive for Disneyland Paris, where for five years she led a team that doubled in size from 25 to 50. Kathy Rogers' career began in the Disneyland parking lot. She became an Attractions Lead and then was tapped to work for WDI at Disneyland in 1983. Working first as a coordinator, she rose through the ranks to the producer level, retiring as Executive Show Producer with attractions as diverse as Muppet*Vision 3D and Expedition Everest to her credit. Women of Walt Disney Imagineering is available now!

We're embarking on a new series here in Disney at Work and Play. Imagineering Explored is an opportunity to deep dive into best practices of Imagineering. We look at what works and more importantly why it works. And on occasion, we'll even make application to life outside Disney's gates. This first podcast in the series looks at great themed transitions that occur in the parks--particularly as you move from one setting to another. These are dramatic transitions that are often so subtle that you hardly recognize you've moved from one locale to another. We'll look at some great examples across the globe and discuss how the elements support the transition. From the Magic Kingdom to Disneyland Paris; from Star Wars Galaxy's Edge to the "Happiest Place on Earth", we'll look at some of the most enveloping and clever Imagineering design elements ever created. We'll even see their application from any brick and mortar store to navigating web sites. Join us as we examine Great Themed Transitions in this Imagineering Explored podcast.

On this episode of TRAP TV, we examine a critical moment in the history of the Walt Disney Company, when the tremendous success of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937 gave way to a period of rapid expansion and ambitious, ultimately unsuccessful projects that nearly bankrupted the business and ended the Disney era. Then, the war came. This is the story of how World War II not only rescued Disney from financial ruin, it sharpened the company's aesthetic and ideological purpose. With an unprecedented animator's strike nearly paralyzing production in 1941, the war and its fallout on the homefront began a new period for both Disney the man and Disney the cultural product, as hyper-nationalism, militarism, and explicit anti-communism entered Disney's bloodstream and brought the company to unimagined new heights of profit and influence.  Subscribe to watch/listen to the whole episode: patreon.com/nostalgiatrap

Hello everyone, in this main feed episode of AirMagique, Eric and Niels are taking apart Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland Paris. We're breaking down all of the fun facts, cool secrets and Imagineering insights. Enjoy the wildest show in the wilderness.

Journaling Techniques that changed my life (2022) ✅ FREE SUCCESS HYPNOSIS - click here to download my free success hypnosis to reprogram your subconscious mind ➡ https://www.jakeducey.com/hypnosis There's 5 main journaling techniques for how to journal that we discuss in this video: 1.) Imagineering (hypnotic writing journal) - this is when you write in the present tense about what you want, as if you already have it. in the book "Think and Grow Rich" they refer to is as hypnotic writing and auto-suggestion. from the book "Think and Grow Rich" it was the first time i heard of hypnotic journal writing - previously, i only thought about journals as a place where you take notes or write down some of your thoughts. I find "Imagineering" to be one of the most powerful techniques to start to change the story you tell yourself mentally. all you do is write about everything you want, but do it ONLY in the present tense. i also suggest you download my free success hypnosis and let it play quietly as you journal. 2.) Gratitude Journaling - this is where you write about the things you're thankful for. it seems so simple but it's probably the most powerful journal technique to quickly raise your vibration. the easiest way to do this is to listen to my free success hypnosis and numerically list out 10+ things you're grateful for. they can be simple things, like being grateful for health, clean water, your family, your job, your money. the point of this journal technique is to change the way you feel, so you're more grateful. 3.) Problem Solution Journaling - this is a great one to help you. simple write out your challenges or problems, and then write out all the solutions to the challenge. when you ask you always receive. so write down whatever challenges or problems you're facing, and then your higher self will give you very clear answers. write all the solutions down, and then circle the best ones for you to focus on right away. 4.) Self Letter Journaling - how to journal for confidence and self esteem? that's what this is about. simply write yourself a very authentic and powerful letter. begin with a letter to yourself. write about what you're proud of. acknowledge yourself. pretend you're getting a letter from a close friend, and write it to yourself. 5.) Brain-Dump Journal - this is where you just get everything out of your head. when people think of how to journal, they normally think of this. this is just you writing out an account of everything happening in your life and in your mind. this is a great way to get the thoughts out of your head and begin to quiet your mind. I hope you enjoy today's video on how to journal. journaling can seem like an odd thing, because we never did it growing up. for me as an athlete, i always thought it was too artsy. as an athletic young man, i had no interest in it. when i got introduced to how to journal and i began to use these journal techniques it changed my life. i hope you enjoying journaling in 2022 with these techniques.

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we got Garrett and Jules to join the Weird Boys for a special occasion...an extremely weird documentary on UFOs and aliens funded by a little corporation known as Disney. Why did Disney make this odd little TV documentary, and how is it not locked deep inside the vault? Why did Mike Eisner volunteer for the incredibly violent opening segment? Is "Butt Cheek" the sexiest name a person can have? All this and more!

No. 39: A conversation with Disney Legend Alice Davis (on the '64 World's Fair) from December 15, 2014 Contact us at comments@mousetalgia.com Disney and the World's Fair - Disney Legend Alice Davis talks to Jeff about attending the 1964 World's Fair, and she shares some personal recollections of her time visiting the Fair with Walt Disney and her husband Marc Davis, one of Walt Disney's "Nine Old Men." We also discuss the Walt Disney Family Museum's second recent presentation of "Walt Disney: A Giant at the World's Fair," and recap some of the memorable moments from that event. Also - Jeff shares an update on his customized Captain America action figure, and we discuss buying annual passes to Disneyland when you aren't a local - the perks, pitfalls, and possibilities. Plus, our dream corporate sponsors for Disney attractions: Taco Bell, an Audio-Animatronic Oprah, Hawaiian Airlines, Tesla - the possibilities are limitless!  

On this week's show, we're getting festive with a special Halloween episode of All About the Mouse. It's no secret that The Haunted Mansion is one of my favorite attractions in all of Walt Disney World and Disneyland. Not only does it have some of the best effects that have stood the test of time, but it has a story that resonates throughout the mansion that has become both legend and lore at the same time. Behind the scenes, the creation of The Haunted Mansion has an equally mesmerizing story that, believe it or not, goes back to before Walt's Disneyland park was ever built. This week, I'd like to share some of these stories with you as well as some attraction audio from Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion and Disneyland's Haunted Mansion Holiday featuring Jack Skellington and the rest of the gang from Tim Burton's A Nightmare Before Christmas.

With the tease announcement at this year's D23 Expo regarding the possible introduction of a "Disney Villains" themed land, we got to thinking - What would a land like this look like? What type of rides and attractions would you find? Who would be featured? Well, we put on our Imagineering caps on and dreamt up some ideas. Enjoy - Visit the Website: OffTheMonorails.comRead the Blog: https://bit.ly/3rdnoNYShop the Merch:  https://bit.ly/3NvKtUf[Follow Us]

This past weekend, it reached $30 per guest. This would add $120 per day for a family of 4. Individual Lightning Lane passes also saw the highest prices yet with Rise of the Resistance going for $25 per guest, and Radiator Springs Racers going for $20 per guest. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2022/10/22/genie-reaches-highest-price-yet-in-disneyland/ Last week, we talked about a lot of the price increases around the resort on a number of things.

From November 11th through January 8th, the new warrior taking on the mantle of Black Panther will be greeting guests in Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure.

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster: Starring Aerosmith opened in July of 1999 at Disney's Hollywood Studios (called Disney-MGM Studios at the time) and has remained one of the most popular attractions at Walt Disney World and arguably one of the most popular roller coasters at the Disney Parks. This attraction has a fascinating history and came to life at a time when Disney was looking to add more thrill rides to Walt Disney World. This Disney roller coaster was the first in the United States to be built with a synchronized on-board ride soundtrack (featuring hit songs from the popular classic rock band, Aerosmith) and the first to include inversions (upside down maneuvers) at Walt Disney World. In this podcast episode, we discuss the history of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, including its design, story, music, and Imagineering, along with some fun facts, details, and audio recordings of the attraction. We also briefly discuss Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Avec Aerosmith (extinct attraction) at the Walt Disney Studios Park at the Disneyland Paris Resort.
