Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. This week in Disney News, in the Carousel of Progress ride in Magic Kingdom the animatronics received new clothes in end scene that updates the ride a bit. Also, the Top of the World Lounge is reopening and, after some retheming, will be called Top of the World Lounge: A Villain's Lair. During this month, they're offering a special opportunity to DVC members to do a cocktail/dessert party with viewing for fireworks for around $55. This week, we will talk about Riverfront Square: the park that never was. Riverfront Square was probably the most famous failed park idea of Disney's that was set to be built in St. Louis from 1963-1965. We discuss what the park would have included and why it was never built. As always, thank you so much for listening!
