Join us for Chapter 11 as we StarWarsify Storybook Circus in the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida! Terry Weaver from the podcasts Making Elephants Fly and WDW Today tells us about his conference called "The Thing" and gives us his take on adding Star Wars elements to this land.

From Max Rebo to Lego to Jar Jar and Donald Maul, we had a great time StarWarsifying 3 attractions in this special episode!

In Chapter 8, we StarWarsify a ride that makes a lot of people sick but also brings a lot of joy to many people who visit Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom! The Mad Tea Party teacups ride is a classic Disney attraction that we believe could easily be rethemed into a Star Wars-themed attraction. In this short episode, we're missing Derek since he's moving to a new house, but he'll be back next time for Chapter 9!

Join us for Chapter 7 of Living with the Landspeeder as we, Ryan, Catron and Derek, welcome Animator Chris Street from the iamGEEK podcast to #starwarsify the Beauty and the Beast stage show at Disney's Hollywood Studios. This is our first stage show and it does not disappoint! Listen to find out which "beasts" and "beauty's" of Star Wars we chose. What's a musical without the music? Beauty and the Beast has some of the most popular Disney classics, so of course we can only complete our re-themes with new versions of Gaston and other hits!

Thank you for listening and we hope you enjoy our show! Tell your friends and family about the show and join us on social media -- just look for Living with the Landspeeder!

In Chapter 5 of Living with the Landspeeder, join us--Ryan, Derek and Catron--as we say "Good Journey" (or farewell) to the Galactic Starcruiser. While this experience was already StarWarsified, we felt this was a good opportunity to imagine ways that the Halcyon could live on at Walt Disney World. Ryan tells us more about his recent voyage and how he would alter the experience while keeping a lot of it the same. However, as twist, he explains how it could span many generations of Star Wars in the World Between Worlds. Derek and Catron pitch their ideas that include Bounty Hunters, Smugglers, Droids and a Batuu history lesson inspired by the book Galaxy's Edge: Black Spire.

On Chapter 4 of Living with the Landspeeder, we StarWarsified Kilimanjaro Safaris at the Animal Kingdom park at Walt Disney World with our special guest Martin Smith of the Heroes of the Halcyon podcast! Martin also cosplays as "Jorg Sacul" who is a holo film director in the Star Wars universe specifically during the time and events around the Galactic Starcruiser. One of the reasons for this is that Martin bears a striking resemblance to Star Wars director, George Lucas.

Ryan and Martin recently returned from Batuu and the Halcyon, so we talked a lot about their trip and generally about the experience without giving away any spoilers. One of the great things about this cruise was that the Heroes coordinated an event to raise money for the Make a Wish charity!

For the main event, we each created a new version of the Safari attraction, and somehow we continued our streak of not sharing the same idea! And what ride is complete without a gift shop or nearby restaurant? From Batuu to Endor, we cover all sorts of Star Wars creatures, vehicles and action that will make this one of the best episodes yet!

In Chapter 3 of Living with the Landspeeder, Ryan, Derek and Catron welcome the amazing voice actor James Arnold Taylor -- Obi-Wan himself -- to StarWarsify Pirates of the Caribbean at Walt Disney World! In our versions of the ride, you might visit Dagobah or the mines of Mandalore, or you may go on an adventure with characters from Rebels or the High Republic.

James is known for his work with many voices in the Star Wars universe (and hundreds of other projects that are not Star Wars) but he's most famously known as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the animated series and video games. Of course we talked about Star Wars, but we also heard about his latest project, a documentary called Hidden Blessings. This is an episode you won't want to miss!
