It's that time of year again, where we gather around our microphones and talk about the holidays! But we are doing something different this year - we've cut the letters to Santa Iger, and instead opted to chat about some of our favorite Christmas songs. Erik tells us about his recent trip to Disneyland for the holidays, and we cover some Disney News!

Thank you for another wonderful year of podcasting, and we'll see you in 2026!

Yes, even after the turkeys are stripped of their meats and the pecan pies have settled in your lower sections, we still have plenty of Thanksgiving-slash-holiday food and fun to chat about. It's an easy show - laid-back and free, but still fun as can be expected.

On today's show, we breakdown all of the hottest Disney News, and there is a TON of it! Erik and Taren are out sick, so Jason pulled in Ryan from "Puny Pod" to help keep his hot takes room temperature. We talk about the A.I. push that Bob Iger casually mentioned, the fate of the Jungle Cruise live action sequel, and Jason drops his bombshell reporting on a new Haunted Mansion theory ... maybe.

It's time, once again, to compile the scariest and most haunting tales we can think up, for our annual Spooky Stories show! How far can we push you towards the maddening void of your imagination? Which tale will be the one to damage your reality for ever? Maybe it will be Taren's story of a post-apocalyptic Disneyland Park, thirsty for blood. Or perhaps Erik's tale of Muppets gaining life. It could very well be Jason's fiction of a small monster roaming the park, turning it's victims into food!

Happy Halloween!

The Haunted Mansion gets a lot of traction this time of the year, and rightfully so. It's an amazing piece of theme park history, and one of the most iconic attractions around. But, what would it have been like had Walt Disney not passed away before it's opening? On today's show, we talk about rolly Crump's influence on the mansion, the planned-for-but-never-built Museum of the Weird, as well as 13 spooky facts you might not have known about the Haunted Mansion. Oh, and Erik has two. Oh, and we do some Disney News. Ok, that's it.

The Monsanto House of the Future was unlike anything guests to Disneyland had seen before. A glimpse of better days ahead, wrapped and secured inside a plastic shell. For ten years, people from all over queued up to walk the hallways of the House of the Future, marvel at all the time the fancy kitchen would save Mom, and inhale where were surely a lifetimes worth of microplastics. But where did this house design come from? Why was it made entirely of plastic? And where did it go? We chat about that, Erik tells us about some changes coming to the Disneyland resort hotels, and more!

In honor of Disneyland's 70th birthday, Taren takes us down the same long road Walt had to walk on the very first day the Park was open. Any other company or brand would have folded under the pressure, but somehow Walt and his company kept moving on! Erik calls in from DCA to let us know how things are at ground zero, and we talk some Disney News!
