This Week on Behind the Plans

We’ve got a little bit of everything in this episode — TouringPlans news, D23, Disney CEOs, vacation planning, and the very important question: What’s in our bag?

TouringPlans News

We kick things off with what’s happening around TouringPlans and the latest Disney news that has caught our attention.

 D23: What a Time

We’re talking about D23 — what stood out, what got us excited, and what we’re still trying to wrap our heads around.

Josh D'Amaro is a theme park fan!

We’re celebrating Disney having a CEO who, by all appearances, is an actual theme park fan. Naturally, this leads to an extremely serious discussion about when Len will finally wear his Josh D’Amaro suit down Main Street, U.S.A.

We may even have a date in mind. 😂

 Vacation Planning Tips

Because we can’t talk about Disney and Universal for an entire episode without sneaking in some actual vacation planning advice. We share a few things that can make your next trip easier, less stressful, or just a little more fun.

 What’s in Our Bag?

You know that one thing you never go to the parks without?

We’re sharing ours.

And no, it’s not Hokas. 😂

Behind the Plans is the conversation you won’t find in the content — the opinions, stories, laughs, and behind-the-scenes discussions that happen when the cameras (and keyboards) aren’t quite rolling.

Hosted by Amy and Chrissy, with occasional appearances from Len Testa.

mini episode, D23 Wrap-Up

Josh D'Amaro is a theme park fan! Previously, while commenting on a rumor that a Journey Into Imagination refurb would be announced at this year's D23, Len Testa said that if this happens, he would make a full suit with Josh D'Amaro's face and wear it while walking down Main Street USA. Well... Chrissy and Amy waited for HOURS in the middle of the night, watching the live stream, and IT HAPPENED!

In this episode we discuss

We will be back to our regularly scheduled programs with a new full episode Wednesday morning.

Welcome to a special mini episode!

Len joins Chrissy and Amy to check in from D23.
