The Disney Dish with Jim Hill

Disney's Game Plan for Epic & The Raglan Road Story (Ep. 556)


Listen Later

Jim wraps up the story of Raglan Road and explains how one Irish pub helped inspire the full transformation of Pleasure Island into today’s Disney Springs. Along the way, Len kicks off No Negative November and the crew answers listener trip-planning questions with their best “only happy thoughts” energy.

  • The origins of Raglan Road and how authentic Irish design found a home at Walt Disney World

  • Why its immediate success made Disney rethink the entire Pleasure Island plan

  • How that rethink led from Hyperion Wharf to the Disney Springs we know today

  • EPCOT strategy debate: one-day visit vs. After Hours event

  • Jollywood Nights character advice and what to prioritize

  • Updates on Disney and Universal ticket options and offerings

    A classic Disney story that starts in a pub and ends with a whole new district.
