Distant Disney

This week we're putting our usual programming on hold to discuss the news that broke earlier this week - Disney is laying off 28,000 cast members throughout their American theme parks and related enterprises.

We're revisiting a classic episode theme this week - our favorite restaurants! Disney World has had some major culinary upgrades in the past decade (particularly in the quick service restaurants), and we couldn't help but discuss some of our top ranked eateries throughout the resort!

We've spoken about our experiences in doing The Disney College Program before, but this time we're talking about some of the little things you might not think about before heading down to Florida. Things like, what should you bring? What are laundry services and transportation like on the program? We're covering these and so much more of the little necessaries you need to know!

This week we step away from the Disney Parks and over to their arch-rival Universal Studios! First, we explain why Universal Orlando still has Marvel characters and rides despite Disney owning the super hero studio. Then we break down the history and development of Islands of Adventure's opening day attraction that won Best Dark Ride for twelve years in a row!

In Magic Kingdom's iconic 4-D show, Donald steals Mickey's Sorcerer's hat and goes on an epic adventure through classic movies in an attempt to retrieve the mischievous hat. This week we'll discuss this attraction's history, development and surprising longevity!

This week we're celebrating our 100th full episode! To celebrate nearly two years of Distant Disney, we're talking all about what Disney has planned for their big year next year - Magic Kingdom's 50th anniversary!

For our final episode numbered in the double digits, we're examining the fireworks show that delighted guests while we worked in the parks - Wishes!

One of the most popular attractions in Epcot, Soarin' began as a celebration of California for the brand new Disney's California Adventure. This week, we're taking a look at this iconic attraction's history and development.

Remember Tarzan Rocks? We sure do. So we talked about it for a while. Plus, we talked about some other characters that don't really have much of a presence in the parks anymore!

*Unfortunately, Brandon experienced some technical issues this week, it's not a glitch on your phone!*

Disney World is the Most Magical Place on Earth. But what happens when it isn't? This week, we're sharing personal stories, as well as examining some publicly available protocols that Disney follows when things go very, very wrong at their parks.
