Here's our rundown of what we talked about: Cheddar from the Big CheeseMike: Last week we talked about Soarin’ Over California vs. Soarin’ Around the World, and which one people liked more. The original poll was 52% - 48% for Soarin' Around the World, but then we did a poll last week and Soarin' Over California won 67% - 33%!Sophie: From the Disney Parks Blog: “We’re revealing the first-ever Walt Disney World Resort specialty license plate today in honor of “The World’s Most Magical Celebration,” beginning on Oct. 1, 2021. Supporting the local community, 100% of the proceeds will benefit Make-A-Wish Central and Northern Florida.Brenda: As part of the small refurbishment projects that Walt Disney World is doing in order to get ready for the 50th Anniversary, the Main Street Confectionary and The Chapeau will be closing on March 29. We’re not sure how long the refurbishment will last, but it is showing closed at least through May 24th. While they are closed, the offerings that you would normally buy at these locations will be available at other places on Main Street.Mike: Wow, Spring Break has arrived at Disney! The park availability calendar shows that nearly all of the parks are completely booked as far as Park Pass reservations go. It varies as to what days have what availability to if you are looking to make park reservations, make sure you check the availability before you purchase your tickets!Sophie: If you are going to be at Disney around the Easter holiday, there are several locations where you can view the Easter Displays. The dates vary, so check the show notes, but you can find them at the Boardwalk Resort, the Grand Floridian, Saratoga Springs Resort, and over at the Yacht and Beach Club resorts.Disney’s Boardwalk Resort – Lobby area (available for viewing Mar. 26-April 4)Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa – Lobby area, concierge level, and Grand Floridian Café lobby (available for viewing Mar. 15-April 4)Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort – Carriage House (available for viewing Apr. 1-11)Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resort – Beach Club lobby, Yacht Club lobby, Ale & Compass Restaurant, The Market at Ale & Compass (available for viewing Mar. 18-Apr. 4)Mike: We are sad to report that Disney Legend Jim Cora passed away on March 21st at the age of 83. Mr. Cora started his Disney career at Disneyland in 1957 as a part-time attractions host polishing 3D glasses at the Mickey Mouse Club Theater, and retired 43 years later as chairman of Disney International. He credited his rise through Disney to the boss, Walt Disney, who sent him over to Disney University founder Van Arsdale France with the admonition: “Tell him Walt sent you. I think he may have something for you.” Josh D’Amaro had this to say in a statement: “Very few people have a Disney legacy that reaches as far and wide as Jim Cora. His dedication to bringing Disney magic to people around the world was only matched by the passion he exuded throughout his career and for the many years that followed. I always loved hearing Jim’s thoughts about our business. He was one of our last connections to Walt Disney and he will be missed dearly.”Brenda: Yay! Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure Park are reopening on April 30! Currently,

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - Will Grant and John like Soarin' Around the World any better at Epcot?  Tune in and find out.  Recorded on October 27, 2016. TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. This episode we head to Epcot to ride one of the park’s most popular attractions, Soarin’ Around The World. The guide map describes this attraction saying: Soar high in the sky and feel the wind during a hang-gliding flight around the globe. Guests must be 40” or taller to ride this attraction and FastPass+ is available.  The Thrill Level describes this attraction as being a Slow Ride with Small Drops. Now we did cover Soarin’ Around The World at Disney California Adventure back in episode 29, so here are a few fast facts about the Epcot version of the attraction. 1. Soarin’ Around the World debuted at Epcot on June 17, 2016. 2. Before the new film debuted, Soarin’ at Epcot was closed so they could build a third theater for the attraction to increase capacity.  The ride was closed in January of 2016 and reopened with the Original Soarin’ film on May 27, 2016. 3. The finale of Soarin’ Around the World has guests flyover Epcot!  This ending can only be seen while riding the attraction at Epcot in Walt Disney World. 4. While waiting in line, guests are invited to play Soarin’ Challenge.  An interactive trivia challenge  on big screens in the queue area. 5.  If you listen carefully, your flight number for the ride is flight 5505.  This commemorates the attraction’s original opening day at Epcot, May, 5, 2005. Let’s take off for the skies on Soarin’ Around the World.  Along for the ride is John B. deHaas and after we ride we’ll discuss our thoughts on this attraction.  This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones put them on now as we ride Soarin’ Around the World at Epcot!

Guests visit the island by traveling on a motorized raft which is piloted by a Disneyland Cast Member. The short 3D Jamboree features the famous Mouseketeers and their leader Jimmy Dodd. The presentation includes the animated shorts Melody and Working for Peanuts all in 3D. Storybook Land Canal Boats (originally known as Canal Boats of the World in 1955) features 13 boats (powered by outboard motors) afloat in 465,000 gallons of water.1958:Disneyland's Columbia ship opens on the Rivers of America. It is a full-scale version of the first ship to carry the American flag around the world. It actually was built in large part from the plans for the HMS Bounty (of mutiny fame). Disney's shipbuilders couldn't find plans for the original Columbia, so they relied heavily on those of Captain Bligh's ship, which had similar dimensions. It has cost $300,000 to build. Fowler's Harbor (named after Admiral Joseph Fowler, who helped to build Disneyland) is also officially opened on this day to dock the new ship. A dedication ceremony takes place with Fowler and Walt Disney himself in attendanceThe Disneyland attraction Alice in Wonderland debuts in Fantasyland. Actress, Kathryn Beaumont, voice of Alice in the 1951 animated movie, provides the voice for the dark ride. It follows the path of the movie, as the riders (as Alice) follow the White Rabbit down the Rabbit Hole into Wonderland. Disneyland's first "Alice" attraction - Mad Tea Party (a spinning tea cup ride), has been operating since the park's debut in July 19551959:Three major attractions are christened at Disneyland on this day:The first urban monorail system in the U.S., the Disneyland-Alweg Monorail System, begins operation in California's Disneyland. The two Mark I trains run on a .8 mile track around Tomorrowland. Walt Disney and U.S. Vice president Nixon and their families are on hand for the dedication of the "Highway in the Sky." (In June 1961, the Monorail will become a true transportation link instead of just a sightseeing ride. With an extended 2 1/2 mile track, Disneyland Hotel guests will be able to board the Monorail at the hotel and begin their park visit in Tomorrowland.)Also on this day at Disneyland, the Matterhorn Mountain with its Matterhorn Bobsleds, opens. Modeled after the Matterhorn, a real mountain in the Swiss Alps, it is the first roller coaster to use cylindrical rails and urethane wheels (which will become standard in the roller coaster industry). At 147 feet tall, the Matterhorn contains 500 tons of structural steel. The ride consists of two separate tracks that run somewhat parallel to each other for much of the ride, intertwining and eventually deviating from each other at the loading areas.The Submarine Voyage ride is officially dedicated on this day as well in Tomorrowland (although it has has been open since June 6). The attraction has cost about $2.5 million to create. The Nautilus and 7 sister submarines - the Triton, Sea Wolf, Skate, Skipjack, George Washington, Patrick Henry, and Ethan Allen allow 38 Disneyland guests at a time to take their own voyage to the North Pole. For the dedication of the new Submarine Voyage attraction the opening ceremonies feature eight live mermaids performing a synchronized swimming ballet in the lagoon.Mrs. Mildred Nelson, wife of the chief machinist on the the first nuclear-powered submarine, USS Nautilus,helps Walt Disney christen the sub D-301, appropriately named Nautilus. Also taking place at 1:30 is a special dedication parade specifically designedfor this day's festivities. The parade and all the day's events are filmed for an ABC television special to be titled Kodak Presents Disneyland ’59.1967:The Club 33 restaurant (for members-only) opens at 33 Royal Street, in New Orleans Square at Disneyland. It is comprised of two dining rooms and several adjoining areas, all of which hold a wide array of magnificent antiques and original works of art. A secret feature of the theme park, the entrance of the private club is located next to the Blue Bayou Restaurant at "33 Royal Street" with the entrance recognizable by an ornate address plate with the number 33 engraved on it.1971:The All American College Band performs for the very first time at Disneyland. The All-American College Band, made up of musicians from colleges all across the United States, will perform for 11 weeks throughout the summer (and become a yearly tradition).1972:The Main Street Electric Parade kicks off at Disneyland for the very first time. The floats include the Blue Fairy, Casey Junior Circus Train, Alice In Wonderland, Chinese Dragon, Dumbo’s Circus, Cinderella’s Ball, "it’s a small world", and the American Finale.1974:Disney World’s "Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue" dinner show debuts in Pioneer Hall at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. Created as a college workshop summer production only, guest response will be so positive that Walt Disney World entertainment will continue the show with a permanent professional cast at the end of the 1974 summer! 1975:Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln returns to Disneyland after being replaced in 1973 with The Walt Disney Story.1983:The Disneyland parade Flights of Fantasy, which celebrates the opening of the New Fantasyland, debuts.1999:Disney's animated feature Tarzan premieres in the U.S. at the El Capitan Theater in HollywoodThe computer controlled sign that welcomes guests to the main entrance of Disneyland's parking lot is removed. Its site will be absorbed into the new California Adventure area. (This is only the second sign to greet guests as they entered Disneyland in the park's 44 year history. The original marquee, erected in 1958, had letters that had to be changed by hand!) Disney's 37th animated feature Tarzan is generally released in the U.S.2010:Toy Story 3 has its worldwide premiere at Taormina Film Fest in Italy. (It will premiere in the U.S. the following day.)2012:An expanded and spruced-up Carnation Café debuts on Main Street, U.S.A., in Disneyland park.A 4.1 earthquake in Yorba Linda that shake parts of Southern California on this evening adds a little extra unexpected excitement to the star-studded red carpet opening of the new Cars Land at the Disneyland Resort.Disneyland Resort caps off its $1 billion renovation of Disney California Adventure with the public opening of Cars Land and the new Buena Vista Street. Based on the Disney-Pixar movie Cars, Cars Land is the largest piece of a five-year expansion at Disney California Adventure Park, adding 12 acres of new attractions to the theme park. It is a recreation of the fictional town of Radiator Springs, featuring Luigi's Flying Tires, which flies riders over what looks like a giant air hockey table; Mater's Junkyard Jamboree, which swings riders in trailers in a "tow-si-do" square dance; and Radiator Springs Racers, which takes riders through a race through a mountain range.2016:Finding Dory, a 3D computer-animated comedy adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures, hits U.S. theaters. The revamped Soarin’ flight simulator rides at Disney California Adventure and Epcot open to guests. Now called Soarin' Around the World, new scenes include a flight over Switzerland’s Matterhorn, the Arctic Ocean with a leaping whale, the Sydney Opera House in Australia, Germany’s Neuschwanstein castle, a herd of African elephants, the Great Wall of China, Egyptian pyramids, India’s Taj Mahal, hot air balloons in Monument Valley on the Arizona-Utah border, outrigger boats off Fiji, the Iguazu waterfalls on the Argentina-Brazil border and France’s Eiffel Tower. A new soundtrack performed by the London Studio Orchestra is based on Jerry Goldsmith's original Soarin’ score. Patrick Warburton (best known as Elaine’s on-again, off-again boyfriend Puddy on "Seinfeld") returns as chief flight attendant and host.2018:Incredibles 2, a computer-animated superhero film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, is released to theaters in the U.S.Topic 2 - News ReopeningDatesAPExpiration stays the same or extendRecharge for paymentNew expirationTicketsHotels updateJosh D’AMaro Announcement:Topic 3 - MerchNew Disney Rainbow Collection Mickey Loungefly Backpack and Dog Tee Parades into shopDisney for Pride MonthNew Rainbow Mickey Collection Drops on shopDisney In Honor of Pride MonthNew Pirates of the Caribbean Loungefly Mini Backpack Sails Into shopDisneyTopic 4 - Hidden MickeyTopic 5 - FoodCooking up the magic: The chefs at Lamplight Lounge in Disney California Adventure park have put a fun spin on a lunchtime classic with these PB and J Rolls.Topic 6 - Events/EntertainmentArtemis Fowl is now streaming on Disney+MAIN - Disney's Black CultureDisney+Splash Mountain rethemingThe Walt Disney Company has pledged $5 million to support nonprofit organizations that advance social justice, beginning with a $2 million donation to the NAACP to further their longstanding work promoting social justice by eliminating disparities and racial discrimination through their advocacy and education programs.“The killing of George Floyd has forced our nation to once again confront the long history of injustice that black people in America have suffered, and it is critical that we stand together, speak out and do everything in our power to ensure that acts of racism and violence are never tolerated,” said Bob Chapek, Chief Executive Officer, The Walt Disney Company. “This $5 million pledge will continue to support the efforts of nonprofit organizations such as the NAACP that have worked tirelessly to ensure equality and justice.”In addition, through the Disney Employee Matching Gifts program, employees are able to increase their impact in their communities by donating to eligible organizations, with the Company matching those gifts.Disney’s “Real Change” In Wake Of George Floyd Killing ProtestsBelow is a link to a statement we sent to our fellow @Disney employees.

Healthcare Realty is a real estate investment trust focused on medical properties. Its Socal portfolio controls close to 750,000 square feet of space. The big Reason why they bought the Taj Mahal is because it's across the street from Saddleback Memorial Hospital.The Taj Mahal was designed by Burke, Kober and Nicolais, an architectural/engineering firm that also did work on Leisure World projects in Laguna Hills and Seal Beach. The building also held offices for Leisure World’s developer Ross Cortese.architect David Jacobson was quoted as saying the Taj Mahal “is an excellent example of neoclassical contemporary architecture as exemplified by buildings such as the Dorothy Chandler Music Center in Los Angeles, the Avery Fisher Symphony Hall in New York and the American Embassy in Athens, Greece … These were all timeless, monumental buildings, designed by prominent architects of their time.”As far as their plans with the building, we don’t know yet.

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - In this episode we say goodbye to Ellen, Stupid Judy and Bill Nye the Science Guy as we ride Ellen's Energy Adventure at Walt Disney World's EPCOT. We learn a little about the attraction and then take one last ride on the final day of operation! John B. deHaas is along for the ride and after we discuss our thoughts on this attraction. Recorded on August 13, 2017.

This episode we are going to say goodbye to a recently extinct attraction, Ellen’s Energy Adventure at the Universe of Energy Pavilion at EPCOT at Walt Disney World.  EPCOT’s guide map described the attraction in the following way: Take a multimedia romp through time and Ellen DeGeneres’ subconscious at Universe of Energy. There were no age or height requirements for this attraction. Before we take one last ride, let’s zap through five fast facts about  on Ellen’s Energy Adventure. 1.  Ellen’s Energy Adventure was located in the Universe of Energy Pavilion in EPCOT’S Future World East.  The pavilion opened with the park on October 1, 1982.The original attraction operated until January 21, 1996 when it was closed to make way for the updated attraction, Ellen’s Energy Adventure which opened officially on September 15, 1996.  When the new version of the attraction opened, it included an audio animatronic of Ellen herself that was seen fighting off a dinosaur with a tree branch.  After November 2014, the audio animatronic stopped working and was removed never to be replaced. 2.  When the attraction opened originally it was announced that the pavilion’s roof was covered in 80,000 photovoltaic cells that partially powered the moving theatre seat ride vehicles in the attraction.  These traveling theatre cars followed guide wire in the floor instead of conventional tracks and each of the six ride vehicles could hold up to 80 people. 3.  The ride had a running time of a whopping 45 minutes from start to finish!  Hosts would often repeatedly remind guests that once they boarded the traveling theatre seats, there was no exiting the attraction until it was completed. 4.  The music for Ellen’s Energy Adventure was composed by Emmy Winner Bruce Broghton who has composed music for other EPCOT attractions such as Spaceship Earth, O’ Canada and Soarin’ Around the World. 5.  Ellen’s Energy Adventure had it’s final day of operation on August 13, 2017.  This is when the audio for this episode was recorded.  Luckily it wasn’t recorded on the final ride of the day because the attraction broke down on it’s final ride and guests had walk out of the ride on foot. Now it’s time to take one last ride on Ellen’s Energy Adventure.  Along for this final journey is my friend John B. deHaas and after we ride we’ll discuss our thoughts on this, now extinct, attraction.  This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones put them on now as we experience EPCOT’S Ellen’s Energy Adventure.

This episode we revisit an attraction we’ve experienced before that got a bit of a refresh.  We are headed to Disney California Adventure to ride Soarin’ Around the World.  The Guidemap describes Soarin’ Around The World by saying; Soar and swoop over famous landmarks.  Guests must be 40” or taller to experience this attraction and the thrill level describes the ride as being Loud, Dark, Slow and having Small Drops.  FastPasses are available for this attraction. Before we buckle up for take off, here are five fast facts about Soarin’ Around The World. 1. Soarin’ Around The World at Disney California Adventure is an updated version of the classic Soarin’ over California attraction.  A new film was introduced at Disney California Adventure on June 17, 2016. 2.  The updated version of the film matches the films at both Shanghai Disneyland and Epcot at Walt Disney World however each movie has a different finale scene where you soar over the respective parks that the attraction is in.  The Disney California Adventure version features a flyover of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle at Disneyland, while while the Shanghai version features a flyover Shanghai and the EPCOT version features a pass by Spaceship Earth. 3.  The new film features a brand new score by Emmy winner Bruce Broughton, but it has elements of the original attraction’s score that had music by Jerry Goldsmith.  The score was recorded by the London Studio Orchestra at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London. 4. Locations visited on the update attraction now feature landmarks such as the Great Wall of China, the Eiffel Tower and The Great Pyramids in Egypt. 5.  The smells on the attraction have been updated as well.  Now the smells of grass in Africa, the ocean of the South Pacific and roses of the Taj Mahal fill your nose as you soar above the various landmarks. Along for the ride today is my friend John B. deHaas and you will hear our review of the updated attraction moments after we stepped off of it for the first time.  This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones, put them on now as we experience Disney California Adventure’s Soarin’ Around The World.
