Welcome! In this podcast, I read three quotes which share two things in common. First, they speak of low attendance in the park and how empty things are. Second, they were all written in 2024. I could share with you several statements like these that emphasize how empty the parks are. To many it sounds like statements heard these last couple of months around both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. But statements like these are actually from 2024. Were they true? Well, the TEA (Themed Entertainment Association) shared their annual Global Experience Index for 2024. We'll look at what it has to say, particularly as we study the Disney and Universal parks in both Florida and California. The findings may not only surprise you, but they are probably an indication of the kinds of numbers we're experiencing here. To that end, we'll talk about what Disney is doing about attendance to include new announcements Disney has made for America's 250th Anniversary. ________________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

Join us for an inspiring sermon in our series, "The Wonderful World of the Apocalypse," as we explore the profound message to the church in Smyrna from the Book of Revelation. In this message, we delve into the concept of "restoring" and how Jesus calls us to align our stories with His. Discover the powerful parallels between the myths that resonate with humanity and the true story of the Gospel, where myth becomes fact in Jesus Christ.We journey through Smyrna's unique narrative, uncovering the significance of their afflictions and their spiritual richness, despite material poverty. From historical context to modern application, this message invites us to be restoryed, reshaping our identity, finances, and tests in the light of Jesus' resurrection power.Through the compelling story of Polycarp and the resilience of Smyrna, we find encouragement to remain faithful under trial, embracing the promise of a crown of life. This transformative sermon calls us to cast aside worldly narratives and embrace the redemption only found in the Gospel. Listen in and be inspired to live a life that echoes the faithfulness of Smyrna, as we seek restoration and vindication through Jesus Christ.

Entre el thriller, el acercamiento a la comunidad Amish y la relación sentimental del policía y la viuda, dos personas poco adaptadas a sus propios entornos. Y todo eso visto a través de los ojos inocente de un niño. Ese niño llega en el momento equivocado a un cuarto de baño de estación, y será testigo de un crimen bárbaro. Los Amish son presentados con respeto y algún toque de humor, y Weir contrapone la pureza de esas gentes sin reparar en aspectos negativos como la intolerancia puritana de estas sectas, el patriarca llama a todos los ajenos a su sociedad cerrada “ingleses”, ten cuidado con los ingleses le espeta a la nuera que viaja a la gran urbe por primera vez con su hijo. El crío -Lukas Haas- admira al policía desde que lo conoce, a ese policía con dotes de carpintero, en su estancia en las bucólicas tierras de los Amish entregará su arma de fuego a la mujer, el símbolo de la violencia de los “ingleses” que ellos rechazan radicalmente. Lo mejor de Único Testigo es el magnetismo que desprende la relación de Harrison Ford y Kelly McGillis, una historia sin porvenir debido a la barrera cultural infranqueable. De pronto arranca el coche, el policía mete la marcha y suena el Wonderful World en un granero, o ella se baña en su intimidad, la forma de mostrar su desnudez al que no puede dejar de mirarla, la renuncia tendrá su explicación. Ella se quitó el bonete blanco, y fue un gesto poco definitorio, la barrera es tremenda, y John Book lo sabe perfectamente. El lenguaje corporal de Ford es de categoría, después será el excéntrico padre inventor de “La costa de los mosquitos”, tambien dirigida por Peter Weir, y así se desmarcará algo de sus estereotipos a lo Han Solo, Blade Runner o Indiana Jones. Los Oscars importantes fueron para la almibarada “Memorias de África”, peor película que “Único Testigo” en mi opinión. Esta noche intentamos ordeñar una vaca por primera vez… Salvador Limón, Alejandro Trujillo, Rosario Medina y Raúl Gallego

Send us a textIt's weird just how much of my life can be traced through television. As much time as I spent as a kid riding my bike down the gravel roads to friends houses and playing in the woods, I spent at least that much time watching TV. From the early years of Sunday Morning Cartoons and The Wonderful World of Disney to my teenage years, cruising North Park in Evansville Indiana and going to the movie theater every Friday and Saturday night. I guess it's no surprise that I can remember the first time I watched a movie about Dungeons and Dragons.It was Christmas Break, no school, Rainy but mild weather and based on the newspaper it looked like CBS was going to have a movie about roleplaying. This was going to be pretty cool. I was into roleplaying, but didn't get a chance to play much. For some reason nobody wanted to talk about roleplaying and if you ever brought it up you got funny looks. I was really looking forward to it.It was called Mazes and Monsters and it stared that funny guy from Bosum Buddies…That was a great show.I remember settling in with Orvil Redenbacher Popcorn.And Wow, that didn't go the way I thought it would.For you younger folks out there, roleplaying is cool. ComiCon draws in well over 100,000 people, all dressed up in crazy costumes. GenCon brings in over 70,000 people and that's a convention designed for roleplayers and gamers.Being a roleplayer is cool. Movie stars talk about doing it. Rock Stars play D&D. Jocks at your school play D&D. I mean it blows my mind.Growing up in the 70's and 80's if you played D&D you were a Satan worshiper.Mike and I lived through those days and on this episode, we are going to talk about the Satanic Panic, walk you through some of the low points and generally make you all realize that you don't know how good you got it.Mike, did you watch Mazes and Monsters?

This podcast today seeks to answer a couple of key questions: First, Is attendance really down and out in Walt Disney World? Second, why are there no big new attractions coming in the short term? Third, Why is it so expensive to come to Disney? Fourth, when will big new attractions like Monstropolis and Villains Land arrive? We look at the calendar to see hope in 2027 & beyond, but until then Disney has to fill in through 2025 and 2026. How will they do this?

Part of the heart and soul of what originated at Disney-MGM Studios in 1989 was The Magic of Disney Animation. For over a little more than 16 years, it was a place where guests could go to understand and for a time, even watch animation being created. To know the Florida animation studios and The Magic of Disney Animation attraction is to know the story of the last three decades of Disney animation in general. Disney animation is the greatest driver of what makes Disney, Disney. And now with the closure of Star Wars Launch Bay, it is being resurrected. Many guests complain how little of the original Disney-MGM Studios exist today, and yet, Imagineering answered to this by choosing to resurrect The Magic of Disney Animation. In a multi-part podcast series we will talk about this attraction, how it evolved, and what it is soon to become. In this podcast, we'll talk about what led to the development of this attraction, of what lay between it and the studio arches, and what this attraction was like when it first opened. ________________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

WFR Radio 444 The Wonderful World of Technology by Tony Walker Financial

With Disney having over 100 years as a company, there have been good times and a few tough times. But relatively speaking, the company has fared well over the long haul. It certainly has grown--enormously from its original roots as a small animation studio to one of the biggest media organizations across the globe. It is envied for its growth, but that growth isn't sustainable unless you're growing your employees in a sustainable way. Short term, corporations can do many things to make a quick turn around. Infused capital if nothing else. Show momentary good will and create great marketing campaigns will make people notice. But real admiration comes from sustained long term growth, not from quick overnight deals. And that growth comes from growing your employees. I'm joined today by Kim and Mac Cantrell of 2Impact, former guests on my podcast, who will share what's happening with organizations that are facing their own growth challenges. We'll talk about those, and we'll talk about something called "Soft Wiring" which is a practical approach to working with your employees to engage, motivate and empower them to grow the organization successfully. I'll share plenty of examples of what this looks like at Disney, and you'll see that these are things you can do in your organization as well. So join us on Disney Insights as we talk about how to grow your company by growing your employees. ________________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

Walt loved New Orleans and from day one he sought to incorporate the essence of the French Quarter into Disneyland Park. While New Orleans Square wasn't opened until 1966, there has always been since day one a New Orleans Street. It stretched from the Golden Horseshoe down along the Rivers of America. It was a contrast to the Nature's Wonderland with its mine train, pack mules and stage coaches. It was one of the key dining points in the park, and Walt loved this stretch, where he often enjoyed a weekend morning breakfast watching the ships along the Rivers of America prep and ready for the day's activities. But he wanted more and in time he built New Orleans Square, and with it came two of perhaps Disney's greatest attractions, Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion, benchmarking each end of the square. They sandwiched an unusual twist of streets with shops and restaurants, with his beloved train passing through. And all of it was tied together by the legendary Mark Twain Steamboat. It is quintessentially one of the most unique spaces in any Disney park. And with it come some wonderful inspirational lessons in business and life. So in celebration of Disneyland's 70th anniversary, we explore all of this and more in today's podcast which celebrates the charm of both New Orleans Street and Square. ________________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

Several weeks ago D23 put out their agenda for their upcoming event being held the last weekend of August. Surprising to so many was the fact that there was no parks panel. In the interim, Walt Disney World came forward with a press event a few days ago giving insight and updates on a large number of attractions and offerings coming the "Most Magical Place on Earth". We'll dissect all of these announcements--and they are really fun announcements--and then look at the D23 agenda to see if something is happening far beyond what has already been announced. With this comes an overview of what the Beak and Barrel looks like, as it opened this last weekend. If you love all things Walt Disney World this is a very interesting moment in time. Join us as well look at these Florida announcements and wild predictions of announcements that could come from the upcoming D23 event. _________________________________________________________________   Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

Mary Poppins would say, "Just a Spoonful of Sugar Helps the Medicine go Down". Well, I've seen that happen as it's been my.privilege to work with organizations big and small, public, private and non-profit. Many of them come to me because they want their organization to be something more like Disney. They want a place where people enjoy working and even have fun at it. In truth, few organizations work harder than Disney. And at the end of the day, it's work. But despite the hard times, the difficult circumstances, and the day-to-day challenges, leaders stay positive despite the circumstances. There are Disney inspired lessons that can show us all how to keep a sense of humor, how to create a space for fun, how not to take themselves too seriously, and even how to find joy in accomplishing the impossible. From the boardroom to the Matterhorn; from Canoe Races to Goofy's Mystery Tour--join us as we learn lessons from Disney leaders past and present about how to create fun--even at work! ________________________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

I want to know that every one of you listening out there will visit, and my duty here in this podcast is to get you excited to do so. When we're through with this podcast, you'll see that this should have been the anniversary celebration Walt Disney World had.

Sorry as I was gone this last week. I visited Disneyland's 70th anniversary a couple of weeks ago. There is so much to talk about when it comes to this celebration of "The Happiest Place on Earth". But the primary reason I felt drawn to come at this time was the new show at the Opera House on Main Street. I feel there is not one but two stories about the new attraction: Walt Disney: A Magical Life. This is of course the highly sophisticated and highly controversial animatronic show of Walt Disney. And I have much to say about that show experience. And to understand all of this, you have to understand efforts made earlier to help people relate to Walt Disney, to include The Walt Disney Story, One Man's Dream and even Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. It's a deep dive review for sure. But there is a larger conversation about how Disney is reconnecting more people to what they once loved in their youth, experiences that foster ties. It's as if Disney has finally realized that their history, their heritage, and their stories really do matter. And they seem to be doing much more moving forward to building on that theme. This podcast looks at Walt Disney's Magical Life and so much more. _______________________________________________________ More Disney Insights can be found below!

June 28, 1928. Louis Armstrong is in the studio recording what he hopes will be another hit. His career is on the rise, but he's not a household name yet. But he's about to lay down a track – “West End Blues” – that won't just change his career, but the entire genre of jazz.  But Armstrong didn't compose “West End Blues” – it was written by his mentor, a man only remembered by people who are really into the history of jazz, a cornet player named Joe “King” Oliver. Armstrong records this song likely as a favor to this father figure, someone who set him on the path to becoming an American icon. Oliver might be forgotten by many, but his role is undeniable. Before “What a Wonderful World” or “Hello Dolly,” how did Louis Armstrong get his start following King Oliver around New Orleans? And how did the complicated, sometimes fractured relationship with his mentor give rise to this legendary career? Special thanks to Ricky Riccardi, director of research collections at the Louis Armstrong House Museum in Queens, New York, and author of several books on Armstrong, including his most recent, Stomp Off, Let's Go: The Early Years of Louis Armstrong.
