DIZNEY COAST TO COAST: Disney Talks with Rose-Colored Glasses Removed

Disney fans rejoice! Today on the show I'm chatting with my friend Janson Lalich about his experience working in numerous different divisions of The Walt Disney Company. Janson's journey really is quite remarkable as he began working in attractions at Magic Kingdom and eventually ended up at the Walt Disney Animation Studios and beyond. There were lots of steps in between, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the tale of Janson's Disney journey. That and so much more on this episode.

Disney fans rejoice! Listen as I chat with Tom K. Morris who was an Imagineer for well over thirty years. He started working for The Walt Disney Company as a balloon seller at Disneyland which eventually led him to working on a whole slew of projects including the opening of EPCOT, the opening of Disneyland Paris, and the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland. When Tom began his work at Imagineering, then WED Enterprises, he was working alongside some of the Disney Legends that helped create Disneyland. Also, considering Tom's long tenure with the company, he worked with quite a few different sets of management and corporate leaders at Imagineering and The Walt Disney Company. Listen as he shares his honest thoughts and stories about all of that. Plus, if you've ever enjoyed riding a roller coaster with synchronized sound, you have Tom to thank. That and so much more on this episode.

Disney fans rejoice! Have you ever sat and enjoyed the tight melodies of the Dapper Dans in the Disney Parks? Perhaps you've even had a dream of becoming a Dapper Dan yourself. Today on the show, I'm chatting all about the Dapper Dans with a current Disneyland Dapper Dan, Jake Novak. The Dapper Dans have been a long tradition for Disneyland beginning performances just a few years after the park opened, and Magic Kingdom has had their Dapper Dans since its very beginning. But barbershop singing began way before The Dapper Dans existed. Listen as we discuss a bit about the history of barbershop quartets, and the history of the Dapper Dans in the Disney Parks. Plus, Jake shares personal stories about performing in the parks, what the audition process was like, and so much more.

Disney fans rejoice! We're celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Main Street Electrical Parade. Love it or hate it, the Main Street Electrical Parade holds an important place in the history of Disney Parks. Joining me to discuss this iconic parade is none other than artist Sam Carter, who has some personal experiences with this parade as he was once a float driver. We'll be discussing the history of the parade along with our opinions on the latest updates, and some behind the scenes personal stories. Plus, the Main Street Electrical Parade has inspired a bunch of other Disney parades and content. We'll touch on those, as well as an electrical parade produced in a competitor's park that guest co-host Sam helped design.
