Pirates & Princesses | Disney News and Rumors

We're back -- and it's not for a lack of trying! After several failed attempts to post this podcast, we've decided that it might actually be CURSED! However we did manage to salvage some of our original podcast from last week and add some new topics as well!

Things we discuss include couponing to Disney, impending closures at Disneyland, the Star Wars Land expansion, Season of the Force, The Muppets vs. One Million Moms, a flicker of hope for TRON 3, The Force Awakens hype kicks into hyperdrive, Pirates of the Caribbean 5, the Pirates ride refursbishment, Disney dining deviousness, and Disenchanted, the upcoming sequel to Disney's Enchanted.
