It was dubbed “Disneyland of the East” because it was created by the same person who designed the original Disneyland – the first employee ever hired by Walt Disney. It turns out that Freedomland's financial backers never intended for it to be open more than five years – and the reason will amaze you.

What if Walt Disney's real magic wasn't perfection…but persistence?   In this episode, Beth takes you behind the myths of creative genius to explore how Disney built through failure, loss, and uncertainty—and why those moments became the foundation for his greatest successes. From bankruptcy to Mickey, from “Disney's Folly” to Disneyland, Walt's story reminds us that the impossible often starts in the middle of adversity. Beth connects Disney's journey with her own: building Casual Space, launching STORIES of Space, and saying “yes” to dreams long before things felt easy or certain. This week, discover why you don't have to wait for the perfect time to start. You can lay a foundation—even in the hardest seasons—that carries you (and others!) to new heights. Because sometimes, the story that feels small today becomes the launchpad for something extraordinary.

Who does Steve D want to open the England batting? Find out on this week's PlayingFTSE Show!It's the end of Q3 and time to check in on the PlayingTSE portfolios. And the last week hasn't been a particularly good one for either Steve.Steve W has finally managed to buy a European stock for his portfolio. It's LVMH, which has actually done quite well over the last three months or so. Elsewhere, there are a couple of new UK additions, one from the FTSE 100 and one from the FTSE 250. But which stock is he thinking about selling in the next three months?Steve D has graduated a couple of stocks up to his main portfolio from the capital incinerator. But he's been reducing his stake in Walt Disney recently. The big buy in the last quarter has been Bloomsbury. But there are also big additions to the likes of Ashtead Technology to bump up the UK exposure.The Britbox has fared pretty badly over the last three months. And it's the usual suspects letting the side down, with Greggs continuing to struggle and Diageo doing badly.The Eurobox has had a reasonable three months, but nothing worth paying fees for. Steve W thinks it's partly due to missing a big boost in defence spending. Only on this week's PlayingFTSE Podcast!► Get a free share!This show is sponsored by Trading 212!

Mickey Mouse, Cendrillon, Simba, Mary Poppins, Bambi ou encore les Aristochats… Ces personnages ont marqué des générations de millions d'individus à travers le monde. Coup de projecteur aujourd'hui sur Disney, le mastodonte du divertissement, dont l'exposition du centenaire fait escale à Paris jusqu'au 26 octobre, après avoir déjà tourné à Londres, Munich ou encore Séoul. C'est un contrat de 1923 qui signe les débuts officiels de l'entreprise créée par un jeune américain de 22 ans, Walt Disney et son frère Roy. « Ce qui marque la naissance de la Walt Disney Company, c'est le contrat que Walt et son frère Roy signent avec une distributrice de dessin animé, Margaret J. Winkler, raconte Sébastien Durand, expert français de Disney, Elle commande une première série de dessins animés, à ce jeune homme qui y est allé au culot. Elle lui commande six premiers cartoons. Il signe le contrat et c'est le 16 octobre 1923, et ça marque les débuts de ce qui est aujourd'hui la Walt Disney Company ». Un document que l'on peut voir dans la première salle de l'exposition, non loin des premières esquisses de Mickey Mouse. La célébrissime souris prendra vie cinq ans plus tard, explique Sébastien Durand : « Le cinéma parlant était tout nouveau et venait d'être inventé l'année précédente avec le chanteur de jazz. Walt Disney va tout miser sur cette idée de "on va sonoriser Mickey". Il va mettre sa maison en gage, il va hypothéquer tout ça parce que ça passe ou ça casse. Il a une toute petite équipe pour faire Mickey. Et la question qui va très vite se poser, c'est : qui va faire la voix de Mickey ? » C'est Walt lui-même qui prêtera sa voix à la souris les premières années. Autant de détails que l'on apprend dans cette exposition du centenaire. Et notamment la philosophie du fondateur, et parmi l'un de ses grands principes. La règle d'or, c'est l'art du récit, comme l'explique Becky Kline à la tête des archives Disney : « Dans tout ce que l'on fait, que ce soit une croisière, une attraction d'un des parcs, un film, une série télévisée, tout repose sur l'histoire que l'on raconte. Et cela, quelle que soit la forme choisie, que ce soit l'animation traditionnelle, en 2D, ou par ordinateur ou un livre, puisque l'on édite aussi des livres. On raconte des histoires. » On pourrait citer d'autres règles d'airains, comme l'importance de la musique et des chansons, ou le goût pour l'innovation. On peut voir, parmi les quelque 250 pièces, costumes ou accessoires exposés à Paris, une caméra spécialement conçue pour le premier long métrage d'animation de l'histoire, Blanche neige et les sept nains, en 1937. « Ils créent une caméra que l'on appelle la caméra multiplane, qui permet de mettre les différents plans verticaux. Et la caméra va se rapprocher. Vous savez, dans Blanche Neige, au début, on est dans la forêt, on s'approche du château, les arbres deviennent flous… Donc, il y a toujours eu ce mélange de technologie au service de l'histoire chez Disney, dès les débuts », analyse Sébastien Durand. Casques de Star Wars, robe rouge de Cruella, ou cheval de manège de Mary Poppins, des objets iconiques figurent également en bonne place, participant à la magie Disney jamais démentie depuis un centenaire.

We're heading down the bayou for a sibling showdown as Port Orleans Riverside takes on Port Orleans French Quarter in the latest round of Resort Wars. These two charming Moderates may share a name and a boat to Disney Springs, but when it comes to theming, food, amenities, and overall vibe—they couldn't be more different. We walk through seven battle rounds, comparing everything from room layouts and transportation to pool fun, recreation options, and value for your hard-earned vacation dollar. French Quarter brings that cozy, jazz-filled energy with colorful buildings, cobblestone streets, and of course—those famous Mickey-shaped beignets. Riverside answers back with lush walking paths, Royal Guest Rooms, and the fan-favorite Yeeha Bob at River Roost Lounge. Along the way, we'll share our own experiences at both resorts, a few personal preferences, and what we think makes each one special. We also reveal the results from your votes in our Facebook poll—because this battle isn't just about us…it's about the whole Main Street Magic community. So grab your floatworks beignet or your fishing rod from Ol' Man Island, and let's settle this once and for all.

Like most comic book creators at the time, his name was unknown; the Duck comics were all credited to Walt Disney.

In this episode review (Season 14, Ep. 372), Andrea revisits interviews with Dr. Dan Siegel to explore Mindsight—the focused attention that helps us see and reshape our own minds and connect with others. She breaks down how Mindsight underpins social and emotional intelligence and offers practical ways to develop it, including theory-of-mind practice, the Wheel of Awareness, and daily narrative reading. This week, in our review of EP 28 with Daniel J. Siegel, MD  and his book Mindsight, we learned: ✔ A deeper definition of Mindsight or seeing the mind in another Mindsight, a term coined by Dr. Daniel J. Siegel, is the ability to perceive the mind within ourselves and others. It goes beyond simply observing behavior; it's about sensing thoughts, feelings, intentions, and perspectives that aren't immediately visible. This skill allows us to look beneath the surface of words and actions, to “see” the mind behind them, which leads to deeper empathy, better relationships, and stronger social intelligence. ✔ What is Theory of Mind and how can this skill help us to connect and understand others better Theory of Mind (ToM) is closely related to Mindsight—it refers to our ability to attribute mental states (beliefs, desires, knowledge, intentions) to ourselves and to others. In simple terms, it's recognizing that other people have thoughts and feelings that may be different from our own. This skill is essential for meaningful communication, conflict resolution, and collaboration, because it helps us predict how someone might react, understand why they feel a certain way, and respond with compassion rather than judgment. ✔ What is Theory of Mind and how can this skill help us to connect and understand others better Theory of Mind (ToM) is closely related to Mindsight—it refers to our ability to attribute mental states (beliefs, desires, knowledge, intentions) to ourselves and to others. In simple terms, it's recognizing that other people have thoughts and feelings that may be different from our own. This skill is essential for meaningful communication, conflict resolution, and collaboration, because it helps us predict how someone might react, understand why they feel a certain way, and respond with compassion rather than judgment. ✔ Practical tips to improve our Mindsight or Theory of Mind abilities Pause and Reflect – Before reacting, ask yourself: What might this person be thinking or feeling right now? Name Emotions – Practice labeling your own emotions and noticing them in others (“I feel frustrated” → “They might be anxious”). Perspective-Taking Exercises – Put yourself in someone else's shoes: If I were in their position, what would I be experiencing? Read Fiction Regularly – Choose stories with complex characters and notice how your mind tracks their thoughts and motives. Practice Curiosity in Conversations – Instead of assuming, ask open-ended questions to better understand another's perspective. Mindfulness Training – Strengthen your awareness of your inner world, which improves your ability to tune into the inner world of others. The episode also emphasizes the importance of face-to-face relationships for learning and development, contrasts relational learning with screen-based approaches, and provides actionable tips educators and listeners can use to strengthen empathy, self-awareness, and relational skills. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Which brings up to today's episode #372, where we will take Dr. Dan Siegel's concept of Mindsight, to the next level. On our last EP 371 with Dan Siegel, PART 1 of our review of a very early interview EP 28[i], recorded in November 2019, we covered the importance of: Understanding and Applying Mindsight which is “the way we focus our attention on the internal world. It's how we bring consciousness to our own thoughts and feelings, and how we attune to the inner world of someone else. Mindsight gives us insight into ourselves, and empathy for others.” Mindsight is a concept Dr. Siegel felt to be critical for us to develop noting this skill to be “the basis for social and emotional development.” He notes, that it's a teachable set of skills that we can teach in school, and once mastered is a truly transformational tool.  In his book, Mindsight he explains this concept further: “Mindsight is a kind of focused attention that allows us to see the internal workings of our own minds. (and we've been talking about how important it is to go within, for true change in our lives to occur). It helps us to be aware of our mental processes without being swept away by them, (which) enables us to get ourselves off the autopilot of ingrained behaviors and habitual responses, and moves us beyond the reactive emotional loops we all have a tendency to get trapped in. It lets us “name and tame” the emotions we are experiencing, rather than being overwhelmed by them. Consider the difference between saying “I am sad” and “I feel sad.” Similar as those two statements may seem, there is actually a profound difference between them. “I am sad” is a kind of self-definition, and a very limiting one. “I feel sad” suggests the ability to recognize and acknowledge a feeling, without being consumed by it. The focusing skills that are part of mindsight make it possible to see what is inside, to accept it, and in the accepting to let it go, and, finally, to transform it into a NEW reality. You can also think of mindsight as a very special lens that gives us the capacity to perceive the mind with greater clarity than ever before. This lens is something that virtually everyone can develop, and once we have it we can dive deeply into the mental sea inside, exploring our own inner lives and those of others. A uniquely human ability, mindsight allows us to examine closely, in detail and in depth, the processes by which we think, feel, and behave. And it allows us to reshape and redirect our inner experiences so that we have more freedom of choice in our everyday actions, (giving us) more power to create the future, to become the author of our own story. Another way to put it is that mindsight is the basic skill that underlies everything we mean when we speak of having social and emotional intelligence.” (Dr. Daniel J Siegel, Mindsight, Location 105, Kindle Edition).
