Hello and welcome everyone…listeners…guests of TM&M! Last week, Scott had such a great time talking with Jason about how he got started with THE WALT DISNEY Company and the different performing jobs he had at Walt Disney World including being a Skipper on Jungle Cruise and working on Pirates of the Caribbean. Jason also shared what Cast Members do when Pirates of the Caribbean goes down, George, the ghost, who haunts that attraction and how you know if George is in the show building or not, what safety and rescue protocols are in place for both Pirates and Jungle Cruise, if Skippers get in trouble if they go off script, and a lot more interesting stories and facts. This week, these two friends have a great time chatting about Jason's Disney dream job, what brings him instant joy in Disney World, the show that he'd create for a Disney park, how he would spend a day with Walt Disney, and they go deep on the food and snacks! Now…without any further ado, enjoy Part 2 with Jason Mangano!

If you have ever been to Disney World, you have probably been on the Jungle Cruise at Magic Kingdom. One of the highlights of the ride is the feeling of escaping to the jungle while laughing at a slew of “dad” jokes. Former Imagineer Brian Collins is responsible for some of those. “I was very lucky to be able to work on some very cool projects, like writing very corny puns for the Jungle Cruise,” Collins said. He said he wrote, “You don't need to bring any money with you on the jungle cruises because there are plenty of banks along the river.” “One of the reasons I think I got hired in as a writer with Imagineering is because writing was something I always loved to do, it came very easy to me and I could write anything from technical writing to poems, to ‘dad' jokes and everything in between,” Collins said. Being an Imagineer can be a coveted role, but Collins, who is now an instructor at the University of Central Florida, said he tells his students there is enough room in the theme park industry for all of them. “Don't focus on being an Imagineer. What you need to focus on is finding what your passion is, finding what you love to do, and focus on that and become happy and an expert in what your passion is and if you can do that, hopefully the rest will take care of itself,” Collins said. “There's so many ways that you can create a path, whether it's Imagineering, or Universal Creative, or working for Legoland, SeaWorld. I mean there is a whole cottage industry, especially here in Central Florida, of amazing firms that support the themed entertainment industry for example that Imagineers will work with,” Collins explained. Still, he says it's important to differentiate yourself. “I have a favorite saying for my students, it's that ‘if you do the same thing as everyone else, you're just going to be like everyone else, and you don't want to be like everyone else,” Collins said.

Jason Mangano was born in northern New Jersey, was raised in southern New Jersey, attended Triton high school…in New Jersey...and when the time came for him to finally get OUT of New Jersey, the place where he went was Walt Disney World in Orlando…otherwise known as south southern New Jersey! ;) Some of Jason's performing theatrical credits include Disney's Beauty and the Beast, A Christmas Story The Musical, Crazy for You, Little Shop of Horrors, and Peter and the Star Catcher. As a director and choreographer, he worked on productions of Disney's Newsies, All Shook Up, To Kill A Mockingbird, Ragtime, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Jason started his Disney career as a skipper on Jungle Cruise, worked on Pirates of the Caribbean, The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, and worked Star Wars weekends at Disney's Hollywood Studios. He currently works as a VIP tour guide at Universal Orlando Resort. Some personal history - Scott's wife introduced these two friends many years ago and they actually randomly bumped into Jason several times at a WDW theme park on a few trips. Also, Jason and Scott recently spent time together at both parks at the Disneyland Resort and had an absolute blast. We hope you enjoy Scott's chat with his pal, Jason Mangano!

Put on your jungle pants and hop aboard. Dan and Sam are breaking down Disney's Brazilian blockbuster... Jungle Cruise! Is it just Pirates of the Caribbean or does it have more to offer?

News: The Adventureland Treehouse will open later this week to the public, but Disney released a preview of the reimagined attraction online last week. The video shows the father's painting area which is wheelchair accessible and allows guests who cannot climb steps to experience the different rooms. The animatronics, audio, and overall asthetic looks amazing. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/videos/full-tour-adventureland-treehouse-at-night-disneyland-resort/ https://www.micechat.com/338868-breaking-news-disneylands-new-adventureland-treehouse-revealed/ The new bar at the Villas at the Disneyland Resort has opened to guests. The Palm Breeze Bar is colorful and fun, reminiscent of Mary Blair's designs. The food has been reported as very good, however it is on the pricier side. This could explain why a new location like this isn't as busy as other similar locations that have drawn much bigger crowds. – https://www.micechat.com/372173-disneyland-update-treehouse-triumph-jungle-turbulence-toontown-turmoil/ With the Holiday season starting this week, the Christmas tree on Main Street has been installed. The tree towers 60 feet tall and is covered with more than 1,800 ornaments. – https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/11/photos-christmas-tree-arrives-on-main-street-u-s-a-at-disneyland-park-for-2023-holiday-season/ With the Holidays starting this week, there is a Holiday Foodie Guide that the Disney Parks Blog released. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2023/11/disney-eats-foodie-guide-to-holidays-at-disneyland-resort-2023/ In addition the the regular holiday food, there is also the Festival of the Holidays Foodie Guide! {talk about the food} Maybe mention the new food segment coming in the new year? – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2023/11/disney-eats-foodie-guide-to-disney-festival-of-holidays-2023-at-disneyland-resort/ Of course there is a TON of new holiday merch that has arrived ahead of the official holiday season this week. From ears, to spirit jerseys and everything in-between, there is truly something for everyone. – https://www.micechat.com/369082-disneyland-holiday-merchandise-2023/ A new character from the upcoming Disney movie Wish is going to be meeting and greeting at the resort soon. On November 22nd, the day of the movie premiere, she will be in front of the Royal Hall in Fantasyland. It isn't clear if she will be around beyond the one day, but we will update you once we know. – https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/11/asha-from-wish-arriving-at-disneyland-resort-on-november-22/ There is trouble on the waterways of the Jungle Cruise. The attraction closed abruptly last week and was closed through the weekend. Scrims have gone up around the tiger area that can be seen from the exterior portion of the Indy queue. Micechat reports that the rockwork by the tiger was crumbling and in need of repair. The attraction will hopefully reopen with this section behind scrims. – https://www.micechat.com/372173-disneyland-update-treehouse-triumph-jungle-turbulence-toontown-turmoil/ As we reported on previously, part of Toontown have come out from behind construction walls. The fountain is the only section that was previously closed to guests that is still unavailable, and the walls moved around Goofy's How to Play Yard, and Donald's Duck Pond. November 11th should be the last day for all walls in Toontown, unless the schedule slips. – https://www.micechat.com/372173-disneyland-update-treehouse-triumph-jungle-turbulence-toontown-turmoil/ January 7th will mark the end of Tail of the Lion King in the Fantasyland Theatre. The show ran for a little under two years, and wasn't as flashy as other shows that used this venue, but it was still a very well done, lively show. – https://www.micechat.com/372173-disneyland-update-treehouse-triumph-jungle-turbulence-toontown-turmoil/ Discussion Topic: Adventure by Disney Trip with Josey https://www.adventuresbydisney.com/destinations/around-the-world/global-jet-adventures/ This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Welcome to The DSNY DNA Podcast, hosted by Trent and Jeni! We're thrilled to take you on a whimsical adventure through Adventureland at the Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida, in this episode titled "Adventureland: The Land of Pirates, Jungles, and Magic."

What's this? The GBBT?! That's right. Since I (Rob) and headed to Japan for a few weeks, there isn't going to be a new TTA for a while. So in that gap we're going to upload episode of the GBBT, which was a short-lived bonus show that Christine and I ran for our TTA Patrons back when we had a Patreon campaign. So these episodes are a few years old at this point. This one in particular, we talk about rides being changed to keep up with the times, including Splash Mountain, Pirates, and Jungle Cruise. The normal TTA will return at the end of September with an in-person episode while Christine visits Disney World!

Sam also talked about repelling down from the ceiling in it's a small world, working on the holiday overlay for Jungle Cruise and Haunted Mansion, working on Frozen at the Hyperion, and being a test rider on the Tower of Terror. This week, Sam and Scott continue their conversation as they play The Mouse and Me Games "Huey, Dewey, and Louie" and "As the Nose Grows - Pinocchio True or False." These friends talk in detail about Haunted Mansion Holiday, the Jingle Cruise, Blue Bayou Restaurant in Disneyland Park, and Sam's favorite snack, show, and ride in the parks. They also talk about The Bengal Barbecue restaurant, Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, and so much more. Sam has seen and done a lot at the Disneyland Resort in his 20 years as a Cast Member and we know you'll enjoy listening to him again today. Enjoy part 2 of Scott's conversation with Sam Bird!

Hello and welcome to the first Fantastical Flashback episode of The Mouse and Me! Now there are THREE types of episodes - Interviews, Magical Moments, and Fantastical Flashback. Fantastical Flashback episodes will do three things: (1) It'll give consistent listeners a nice throwback and a reminder of some of the amazing things the guest and Scott talked about; (2) It'll give new listeners the opportunity to discover these interviews if they don't listen from the very beginning; (3) It allows Scott to take a break and recharge his batteries! Who knows? It could be an extra busy holiday season. Scott might be in a Disney park. He might be busy editing episodes...or he might just need a breather. :) For this first Fantastical Flashback, Scott chose to replay his interview with his pal, Sam Bird. When Scott originally interviewed Sam, it was a 2 part interview because they simply had a lot to talk about so Scott wanted to honor that conversation by replaying part 1 this week and part 2 next week. When Scott first interviewed Sam last year, Sam was no longer with the Walt Disney company…but he is again! He started back with them this past April and, in total, Sam has been with them now for 20 years! His current position is a stage technician. He did the install of the new "Rogers the Musical" at the Hyperion Theatre in Disney's California Adventure. He's involved in automation with that production, which means he maintains and operates the show and makes sure that everything works properly. Since their interview, Sam and Scott have become good friends and continue to text, call, and FaceTime each other fairly often. As a matter of fact, when Scott was in Disneyland this past February, he and Sam spent a magical day together in both Disneyland Park and Disney's California Adventure AND two other former podcast guests, Kate Harrow and Savannah Harrow, joined them, as they all know each other. Kate and Savy SHOULD know each other…they're sisters...but you get the gist! In today's episode, Sam talks about the different roles he's had at The Walt Disney Company including stories from his time in the Art Department. He also talks about repelling down from the ceiling in it's a small world, working on the holiday overlay for Jungle Cruise and Haunted Mansion, working on Frozen at the Hyperion, and being a test rider on the Tower of Terror. We know that you're going to love hearing Sam's stories, whether it's for the first time or if you're listening again. Please enjoy part one of Scott's interview with his friend...his pal...Sam Bird!

Join Erik and Dan this week as they are joined by Ryan and Dave as they discuss their most unhinged by sincere opinions of the Disney parks, their dream solo trip to the parks, a local themed location they would like to see absorbed by Disney, and how they would make a movie reboot of any Disney Park IP. Support the podcast by going to https://www.thehubcrawl.com/support. Question 1: What is your most unhinged yet completely sincere opinion related to Disney parks? Question 2: We are all "adult fans" of the Disney parks ... describe your ideal solo trip to a Disney Park. Which park do you start in, first ride, must eat food etc. Question 3: Which local, themed place from your childhood should be absorbed by Disney Parks? Question 4: Haunted Mansion has opened the door for Park-Original IP Movies to get a reboot. Which existing park IP would you reboot into a new movie? Options include Pirates, Tower of Terror, Country Bears, Jungle Cruise, Mission to Mars and Tomorrowland. Bonus Question: When Indiana Jones and Space Mountain opened at Disneyland, lines bled onto Main Street. Modern ride openings use a virtual queue system. If you were in charge of new attractions and queues and such, how would you manage the line situation?

Why was the python scene a disappointment for Marc Davis? And why are the chimps staged differently in Disneyland vs Disney World? In this episode of Distory, Kirk gets mad at Kate for continuously misidentifying primates as we take a look at the intricate details of the newly-added chimpanzee scenes. We also explain why the piranha and water buffalo are our FAVORITE Adventureland mascots, find another man-eating plant most people miss, and Kate talks about licking a slug and her love of crates (it's relevant, we promise. Well, sorta.) Along the way, we find out the truth about man-eating piranha and identify an important story detail about them in the Jungle Cruise that is often overlooked.

Why were headhunters in the Jungle Cruise? (And why did they love Disco so much?) In this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk, we float through the perilous (and oft-times controversial) history of Disney's Jungle Cruise. Wading into the deepest part of the Rivers of Romance, we explore the mechanics of the hippos, the real-life animals that inspired them, and how they were actually a compromise from what Walt really wanted. Then we head into Headhunter Territory (a terrible place to be-headed) to view Marc Davis's cultural interpretation of African and New Guinea natives. For those of you who make it to the end of this episode, you'll be treated to some bizarre ASMR and Kirk lecturing Kate about chimps. This episode was recorded live, and the little hearts are gifts from our wonderfully supportive audience... we apologize if they are distracting! Please also note: We do fully recognize the culturally sensitive nature of this content, and our reporting the history of this part of the attraction does not mean we endorse the portrayal of these cultures in the manner with which they were formally presented. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/disneycicerone/support
What is a myrmecoleon and how is it connected with the Jungle Cruise's Trapped Safari? On this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk, we appreciate the history and nuance of the first gag ever to appear in a Disney attraction (that was, of course, never intended to be IN the ride at all). The trapped (lost?) safari has gone through some changes over the years, but the humor remains. After explaining some of the history behind the older version of this scene, we go through the backstory of each character, their connection to S.E.A., and some oddities in the details that you likely have never heard of before... but aren't likely to forget any time soon!

Is the plane from Casablanca really in the Jungle Cruise? And what does the zebra's mane have to do with Roy Disney? In this episode of Distory, we visit the downed plane, chatting about its controversial historical connections to Casablanca and its current ties to the Society of Explorers and Adventurers. We then journey into the African Veldt to discuss the (sometimes gory) details of this iconic Jungle Cruise scene, including lost lions, hairy zebras, and unusually designed vultures. After some stories from the imagineers who designed the scene as well as some bonus animal facts, we wrap up with Kirk promising to never discuss the plane again... and Kate promising the opposite.

TJ and Kris review a Stephen King B-movie and its soundtrack to show that ancient creation narratives are still being told today. TJ talks about the plural language in the creation of man, and they discuss the functional Imago Dei before learning about the ancient understanding of the function of bugs and how films like Disney's "Jungle Cruise" still use the idea in a similar way.
In the 151st episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave decide its high time to take some classic rides and put a new spin on them at Walt Disney World. And to help, some expert ride-rethemers themselves, Vlogger and Influencer Derek Frank and IAMGeek co-host Ryan Street are back on the show. Ryan and Derek talk about their new podcast, Living with the Landspeer, and turning WDW attractions into Star Wars attractions. Then, using that same theme but reversing, everyone randomly chooses a new theme and a new ride to retheme. The results? Hilarious and ingenious new attractions, with Jungle Cruise getting some Hades action... princess ideas for a roller coaster... putting Kuzco in Splash... and an incredible Mr. Toad idea.
