Now that 2018 is halfway over, we want to take a step back and look at where the Disney parks are and where they are headed. In this week's show, we discuss some of the latest new offerings at Disney parks, including Toy Story Land and Pixar Pier, and we dive in to the latest news and rumors regarding upcoming attractions.

In honor of America's Independence Day, we go "Behind the Magic" of one of the best patriotic attractions at Walt Disney World: The American Adventure in Epcot. Plus, we address a few questions from listeners concerning our favorite Disney sources and our recommendations for what to do at WDW when you're flying solo. It's all happening now on show 196!
