Disney and Star Wars have a long history together. It all started with the E-Ticket attraction Star Tours at Disneyland. Back then, who knew that just a few decades later The Walt Disney Company would no longer need to license these characters from George Lucas for use in their parks, as they would later own the entirety of Lucasfilm Ltd. But there was a shift in Disney's relationship with the Star Wars characters once they purchased them. What used to be a very playful franchise they didn't take all that seriously has now become serious business with extremely strict rules in regard to timeline, continuity, and character integrity. But has The Walt Disney Company gone too far? Join me as I chat with Star Wars aficionado and mega-fan Mike Celestino about this change in policy from a long time ago, when Disney simply licensed the characters, to now as they currently own them.

Listen as I share my feelings about seeing it for the first time, along with a conversation with a die-hard fan of the film. Plus, my guest co-host recently went on a "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" adventure as he visited the Walt Disney Studios lot in California for the first time for a special screening of the film, as well as flying to Europe to catch the first stage production of this book translated to film and now translated for the stage. Plus, did you know that there's actually been "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" representation in the Disney Parks? All of that and so much more on this episode.

Disney fans rejoice! One of the most ambitious projects in the themed entertainment and immersive industry recently opened. Of course, I'm talking about the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser at Walt Disney World. During this two night excursion, guests go on missions, enjoy live entertainment, become part of the story, eat lots of themed food and much more. But this unique experience comes with a hefty price tag. Listen as I chat with a paying customer about his experience while aboard The Halcyon weighing the pros and the cons, and discussing whether or not he considered it worth the cost.

Disney fans rejoice! Today on the show, our topic involves Disney Parks character integrity and continuity. So many people say the number one reason they go on a Disney vacation is to see and meet the iconic characters around the parks. Can you relate? I always love seeing the characters, but it's extra special when the characters I'm seeing are presented exactly as their on-screen counterparts. Whether it's an exact costume replica, a character in the proper scale, or even a really good human lookalike. Those are always the character interactions that impress me most. Listen along as my pal Derek from the Mad Chatters podcast joins me to discuss all of this Disney character minutia and nerdiness.
