EarzUp!

On this week's show we spotlight two very important pieces of Imagineering. Well, one important one and one is Turtle Talk With Crush. Up first, Bev dives deep into the internet and catches a wave to learn all about Turtle Talk With Crush and share that bounty of the Sea with all of us. Then, Jeremy finds his way around the soon-to-be demolished Polynesian Village Resort to bring us the history of the music in this area.

Adventures Through Inner Space existed in that perfect pocket of time when Disneyland was trying to be a mix of entertainment and education, at times mixing the two into an indistinguishable experience. Probably the last example of this phase of Tomorrowland, Inner Space still exists in the minds of fans as a truly unique ride and is still missed to this day. Travel with us as we dive into the building blocks of this attraction, shrinking ever smaller into the lore, history, and facts of a Tomorrowland classic!

It's well known that Disney borrows stories from other cultures to make them their own, but do they blatantly steal artwork from other artists? Say, a tiki drummer? At least one person seems to think so, and to get to the bottom of it all we invite Brian Schar from Cross Pond Law to discuss what a copyright means, what common use is, and if you can really have your art stolen if you stole it first. Plus some runDisney drama, and more!

Main Street, USA treats you to tons of amazing sights, sounds, and experiences, even before you get into the heart of the Disneyland Park itself. One sometime overlooked aspect of the "old timey feel" of Main Street is the addition of the vehicles. On today's show, Taren takes us through the history of the Main Street Vehicles at the Disneyland Resort, where we learn just how badass Bob Gurr really is.

Rounding up the Disney News this week, Jeremy and Jason are weighing in on whatever they can! We talk a bit about the backlash Peter Dinklage is facing after comments about the forthcoming "Snow White" reboot went around the internet. Comments made by CEO Bob Chapek were examined in great detail, because of course they were, and there were hints of coming price increases over in Disney + land. We also cover a rather bizarre fight that broke out in Disney Springs back in October, but it seems like it's just now getting covered so it's fair game!

Buying tickets to Disneyland is expensive. Adding food and drinks on top of that can really make or break your trip. We commandeered Bev's recent trip to Disneyland and somehow got her to agree to a set food budget for one day. Was she able to stick to it? Did she find that eating in the parks has gotten harder or easier? we also get her thoughts on the controversial Lightning Lane upgrade now available at the Disney Resorts, and whether or not she'd work that into her future trips.

Lots of little news bites on today's show. We talk about the new Moana series coming to Disney + in a year or so, a cool bourbon tasting happening in Disney Springs, and a bit about how actor Peter Dinklage is upset at the new Snow White reboot (yes, another one). We also wade into the recent Epcot drama Josh Gad stirred up and how Columbia should be the next country represented (over Greece? Get real!) Plus, salaries for some executives at The Walt Disney Company were made public this month, and both Bob Iger and Bob Chapek got massive paydays, at the expense of Cast Members around the world. Again.

If you were walking around Tomorrowland in the early 1980's, chances are you have heard Josh Freese. Josh was in a teen band called "Polo" that frequented the Tomorrowland Terrace in those days. Son of the great Disneyland Band Leader Stan Freese, Josh left the adoring throngs of park goers behind to become a successful musician, playing in bands that run the gamut of musical genres - The Vandals, A Perfect Circle, Devo, and countless others. Growing up - literally - in Disneyland, Josh has about as many stories to tell about the early days of the parks has he has credits on albums. Josh was kind enough to sit down with us and talk about how he got his first job working at Disneyland, and how the parks have played a role in his life still. Plus, a bunch of funny stories unrelated to Disneyland at all because, well, Josh is a hell of a storyteller!

Check out Josh's brand new solo project, "Just A Minute: Vol. 1", containing 19 songs under a minute long, because what else do you expect a musician to do during quarantine?

2021 might be done with us, but we sure aren't done with it! On today's show, we kiss last year good-bye with our annual Year In Review. We give you the best and the worst of the Disney experience over twelve categories. Sometimes serious, sometimes borderline amusing, the Year In Review show is one we look forward to each January.
