Listen Later

Len Testa & Jim Hill start this week’s show by discussing how the Shooting Gallery at WDW’s Magic Kingdom will soon close to become a DVC lounge. They also take a look back at Tomorrowland in this same theme park circa late 1971 / early 1972.

Throughout this episode, listeners will learn about:

  • When does it appear that the Magic Kingdom will be opening its version of “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure”

  • Which “Avatar” film is the new experience that Bob Iger recently revealed was in the works for Disneyland in Anaheim supposed to be based on

  • What significant eco-friendly change is supposedly in the works for Florida’s version of Autopia

  • According to John Hench, which proposed WDW resorts were deliberately designed in such a way that they could then be seen from inside of the Magic
