Katie is new to the podcast and coming to you all the way from the U.K. to talk about her upcoming trip to Tokyo with her husband Adam and brother-in-law Ryan. This trip was initially planned to attend the big Star Wars Celebration expo that was scheduled to be in Japan in 2025, but of course it's hard to think about traveling that far and not stopping by Toyko Disneyland, Tokyo Disney Sea, and Universal Studios Japan! With so much to see and do in Japan, outside of their park and expo time they are prioritizing time in Kyoto, trying as much of the fresh Japanese cuisine as they can lay their hands on, and visiting at least one shrine. Trip Dates: April 16-27, 2025 Pre-Trip Interview: recorded 3/30/25 Episode Specific Links: Follow Katie on Instagram - @loveforalldisneymagic Katie booked her trip with the assistance of Suzanne Asbury from Designer Travel.

Send us a textThe unexpected announcement of a new Disney park in Abu Dhabi has completely reshuffled the conversation around Disney's expansion strategy. What started as a discussion about whether Walt Disney World needs a fifth gate to compete with Universal's Epic Universe quickly transformed into an analysis of Disney's global theme park portfolio and future plans.When weighing the potential benefits of a fifth Disney World park, several compelling points emerge. A brand-new park would provide the perfect canvas for fresh concepts and untapped intellectual properties that don't quite fit within the existing framework. It could showcase international Disney attractions that most American visitors never experience, while simultaneously helping to distribute the notoriously dense Magic Kingdom crowds. With Disney's vast land holdings in Florida, space certainly isn't an issue – they've already secured approval for a fifth major park in their long-term development plan.However, the drawbacks are significant. Current estimates suggest building a Disney park of Tokyo DisneySea's caliber would cost upwards of $17 billion – a staggering sum even for Disney. Meanwhile, all four existing Disney World parks desperately need updating, from the chronically outdated Tomorrowland to the half-day experience that Animal Kingdom often becomes for ride-focused visitors. Adding another park would also extend the typical Disney vacation to potentially 9-10 days, making the trip financially impossible for many families already stretching their budgets.The Abu Dhabi announcement represents an exciting compromise. This new international venture allows Disney to flex their creative muscles with cutting-edge technology and immersive environments without diverting resources from much-needed improvements at Walt Disney World. There's speculation this Middle Eastern park could feature the most impressive Tomorrowland ever designed, potentially rivaling Tokyo DisneySea as Disney's crown jewel.For Disney fans, the future looks bright whether they're planning to visit Florida or dreaming of international adventures. Rather than stretching themselves thin with a fifth Florida gate, Disney appears focused on maximizing the potential of their existing parks while simultaneously creating something truly revolutionary halfway around the world. What Disney innovation are you most excited to experience?Here's who we are and what is in store for you

Vanuit de lobby van hun hotel in Tokio delen we onze eerlijke mening over het park, dat we beschouwen als het mooiste Disneypark ter wereld.

Last fall saw the release of a massive new autobiography from legendary Disney Imagineer Bob Weis, who ultimately led Walt Disney Imagineering as its president toward the end of his career with the company. Dream Chasing: My Four Decades of Success and Failure with Walt Disney Imagineering recounts Bob's amazing time with Disney Imagineering, working on new theme parks like the Disney-MGM Studios and Tokyo DisneySea to conceptualizing projects that never materialized. It's a wonderful look at not only one person's career, but also the major endeavors that they contributed to.

Memorable Moments"It was just this dream that guided me in each different move and change in my life."“Taking my art away from the place in my life that required making music to make money, for my art to no longer be pressured and to now have the freedom to just do whatever I wanted to with music because I love it. That changed everything for me.” "I feel great about it, I feel proud of it, and I feel like, you know, I only have one life. What's most important is that I feel great about me.""I am such a huge proponent of not having regret, and that's been a big thread through my entire life.""I'm hoping that my joy in creating this will also give other people joy. But if it doesn't that's fine, I'm not looking for this to be validating in any other way, other than my own personal journey."
