Pirates & Princesses | Disney News and Rumors

What needs "fixed" at Walt Disney World? This week we do a little armchair Imagineering with our kids, Tristan and Kairi. In this episode of the Disney podcast we talk about attractions we think could use a little more TLC at the four WDW parks: Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom and, of course, Epcot! Opinions vary on what needs done and what we'd like to see, but one thing is for certain: Ellen DeGeneres rocked that pointy stick!

And did we mention Frozen? It's Frozen... again! On the web: http://piratesandprincesses.net

We discuss this and more, including a rumored Guardians of the Galaxy attraction, the return of Han Solo in Star Wars: Episode VIII, Lego The Force Awakens, Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween 2016, and more!

The Force Awakens has come and gone, and everything is STILL Star Wars a month later! We talk about the aftermath of the marketing tsunami, and then FINALLY turn our attention to some other Disney news that's gone neglected this month including big changes to Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Disneyland and more. Also -- Jar Jar Jackson?! Pardon the audio quality as we had the mic sensitivity cranked way up!
