I'm so excited to talk about Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, which makes its return after a lengthy remodel. It has been well executed and it's as fun as ever--though perhaps in a slightly less bumpy way--at least for the moment. We will cover not only the history of this mountain but of its sister mountains at Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris. My business partner, Mark David Jones, joins me to discuss the original opening of Big Thunder here at Magic Kingdom, where he was part of the opening crew. He emphasizes how the attraction was the starting point for massive changes that would emerge at Walt Disney World in the years that followed, making it the resort destination of the world. And of course I'll give you my play by play review of the attraction in its refurbished state. So join us as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Returns.

In this episode of Big Crystal Energy, Ashleigh opens the month of May with a deeply personal reflection on travel as a liminal space — those in-between places where we are away from home, outside of routine, and often more open to transformation, magic, discomfort, and wonder.Fresh from a hotel room in Portland while attending Spirit Northwest, Ashleigh shares the story of her family's month-long trip through the Philippines and Japan. What began as a long-awaited pilgrimage for her husband to return to the Philippines and share his culture with their children became a powerful lesson in family, gratitude, culture shock, sensory overload, beauty, exhaustion, and the strange magic that happens when you are completely outside your normal life.Ashleigh reflects on traveling through Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, and Tokyo, including visiting family, seeing whale sharks in Oslob, discovering Filipino folklore, experiencing the stunning beaches of the Philippines, surprising her son with a trip to Japan, exploring Tokyo, visiting Sanrio stores, seeing cherry blossoms, eating ramen, and navigating Tokyo Disneyland with two very tired kids.This episode is less of a polished travel guide and more of an honest, magical, messy reflection on what travel can awaken in us — especially when we are moving through airports, hotels, unfamiliar cities, ancestral places, and the emotional threshold between leaving and coming home.Send me any questions or comments you may have and I will answer them on upcoming podcast episodes!! Looking forward to hearing from you!Please message me with any questions or comments. bigcrystalenergypodcast @gmail.com
