October 31, 2016 History of The Haunted Mansion
The Haunted Mansion is perhaps the most iconic ride at Disneyland. A ride that almost didn't happen, and certainly didn't happen the way it was planned. Sit back, foolish mortals, as we take you through ...
The History of The Haunted Mansion
But first ...

We start the show off with Bev admitting she doesn't know who the Swedish Chef is. Then we get to talking about which artist could - and should - take over the Aerosmith ride at WDW.

It's SpectroTime again, as we talk to Jeremy from SpectroRadio about the music of The Haunted Mansion.

We celebrate Terrence's acceptance into the second round of the Disney Mom's Panel, and then we jump into the history of the Haunted Mansion!

Then it's time for the Fact of the Show, and the close of the show!

See you in the parks!

"Look, a line of Ghostmobiles!"

October 18, 2016 History of the Walt Disney Company: Part 3
Taren probably regrets ever going down this path, because these shows have grown over the months. Regardless, she jumps back into her research library in order to cover ...
The History of the Walt Disney Company: Part 3
But first ...

We talk about Terrence and his issue with giving his name at places. Jason spills the plans to possibly do a live recording for our 100th show, and Taren and Jason chat about their time in Hawaii and their brief visit to the Disney Aulani Resort.

Then Taren tells us about the hoops the Walt Disney company had to jump through in order to get Walt Disney World on the map.

Fact of the show happens, and that's it.

See you in the parks!

October 04, 2016 How to be a Disney Imagineer
Being a Disney Imagineer is probably every Disney fan's dream job. Today we talk with Kyle, a former Imagineer who lays out ...
How to be a Disney Imagineer
But first ...

Jeremy from SpectroRadio takes us through the history of the Disneyland Band.

Then we talk to Kyle, who was on the Imagineering team tasked with layout out the groundwork on Disney Shanghai. The man was a wealth of information, and talked about loads of stuff, including Tower of Terror and the reasons behind that change.

Feedback happens, and then Fact of the Show. Pretty standard.

September 21, 2016 EarzUp Feedback and Disney News
Since our email was down for so long, and instead of stretching out our backlog of feedback, we decided to dedicate a whole show to it! Well, to that and to Disney News. It's a strange show, it's a weird show, it's ...
EarzUp Feedback and Disney News
But first ...

Taren has a thinks, for better or worse. Then we jump into some well-deserved feedback and Disney News.

September 05, 2016 Tips and Tricks For Your Next Disneyland Vacation
We've all been to Disneyland tons of times, but sometimes we just end up in autopilot and are not really thinking about streamlining our vacation. In today's show, we share the things that we like to do on our Disneyland vacations to save time, money, and stress on your next trip - it's time to talk about ...
Tips and Tricks For Your Next Disneyland Vacation
But first ...

Taren charms us with another polarizing round of "Taren's Thinks", then we move back into the EarzUp Press Conference Room for yet another presser by an EarzUp staff member.

Moving on, it's finally SpectroTime with Jeremy from SpectroRadio! Jeremy tells us about the history of the Main Street Electrical Parade

Our friend Greg came in to talk about his attempt at pulling a Terrence by trying to complete the Churro Challenge.

Then it's on to the show. We chat about our favorite tips and tricks we use to have a great time at the Disneyland Resort, and hopefully we can share something brand new for you, too! Terrence talks about his favorite spots to eat, and what to eat when you get there. Bev tells us her favorite places to stay, and how to make the most of your stay in the parks. Taren gives some good pointers on when to plan your vacation, and how to save some cash, and finally Jason gives out some tips on taking better photos in the parks and rides, then complains about those terrible strobe light souvenirs.

Greg attempts to pull a Terrence by starting the Churro Challenge - did he finish?

August 22, 2016 Ub Iwerks
By now, we all know that Walt Disney didn't make it on his own. He surrounded himself with loads of people who could do a job better than he could, which is part of what made him such a managerial genius. Today, we talk about one such person, as ...
EarzUp Talks About Ub Iwerks
But first ...

We start off discussing Terrence's unhealthy obsession with The Golden Girls TV show, then Taren and Jason talk about their most recent trip to Disneyland very quickly. We talk about some new snack info, and our first live look at Luigi's Magical Ride of Boredom and the new Soarin' Over The World ride.

Feedback happens, and since we are still catching up from our wonky email system, we have a lot of it.

Then Bev starts in on Ub Iwerks - who he was and what he did for the Disney company and Walt.

Finally, another Main Street Window and the Fact of the Show.

This show is kind of a mess, we goof around a lot, so be ready for jokes and lots of laughter.

Thanks for listening, and we'll see you in the parks!

August 08, 2016 EarzUp Disney Jeopardy
Every now and then we like to test your Disney knowledge and throw a game together. We haven't done this in awhile, so here it is ...
EarzUp Disney Jeopardy!
But first ...

We start the show with some audio gremlins, but quicly move on like the professionals we are. Jason calls an audible and starts the game rather than our usual feedback. We have some fun, laugh at each other, and then ... Feedback.

After, the Fact of the Show, and we get to go home.

See you in the parks!

July 11, 2016 The History of It’s A Small World
Few rides are as polarizing as It's A Small World. You either love it or would rather go to Legoland than ride it. Today, Bev tries to cure us of our dislike for this ride by giving us ...
The History of It's a Small World
But first ...

Terrence tells us about his viewing of "Bambi" with his two kids (which you can read about here), and that leads into a discussion about the new Pixar flick, "Finding Dory".

Then Bev takes us through the history of It's a Small World, we hit some Disney News, and the Fact of the Show.

June 27, 2016 How to be a Disney Figure Finisher
A lot of attention is given to how well Disneyland keeps up with its looks - the exterior of show buildings, the cleanliness of the streets, but we don't really think too much about what it takes to maintain the actual show figures in the rides. Today we talk to Matt Staley, who is a Figure Finisher in Disneyland, about what goes in to figure maintenance and ...
How to be a Disney Figure Finisher
But first ...

We talk about recycling, which is a natural segue to the old cartoon Captain Planet of which Terrence and Taren were apparently huge fans of. Then Terrence lets us know just how much of an emotional fireball he is, which comes as a shock to literally nobody in the studio.

Then, the return of Taren's Thinks. Or Taren Stinks, depending on how you hear it.

Finally, Matt Staley joins us, and he's part of the Figure Finishing department at Disneyland. We talk about what it takes to be a Figure Finisher, and what that really means to us as guests. Matt is a lot of fun and gave us a great look behind the scenes, while still keeping the magic alive for us!

Jason totally blows the Fact of the Show to hell, then it's time to leave.

See you in the Parks!

What's it take to keep these figures running? Find out!

June 14, 2016 EarzUp! Imagineering … again!
Every so often we like to take the helm of Disneyland and imagine how we can make the parks better. At least, to us. To that end, its time for ...
EarzUp! Imagineering ... Again!
But first ...

Our resident Marvel expert, Anthony (AKA Kanye), joins us to talk about Marvel's new flick, "Civil War", and what that means within the Marvel Universe. But since he's family we lt him sit in on the whole show, which starts with some cool feedback, and a long trail of weirdness ensues like it always does.

Then we jump right into the EarzUp Imagineering show, trying to see who has the best ideas for breathing some new life into the Anaheim resort that doesn't have "Frozen" in the title. Autopia, Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, Matterhorn, Skyway Buckets, Shooting Gallery, sailing ship columbia, and more - are all on the chopping block for us. Or at least are in need of a little love.

Taren does her research on our Main Street Windows segment, Jason pops his Fact of the Show, and that's it.

See you in the Parks!

Taren is back with another Main Street Window
