The Castle Collective - A podcast for Disney Parks fans

This week Shawn Rapier is joined by Sean and Bryan Lords of Word On The Main Street Podcast as well as avid Disneyland superfan Nick Galieti. The hosts do a round robin draft of attractions, restaurants, characters and more to create the perfect day at Disneyland. 

With Disneyland closed for Halloween Shawn and Sean talk about spooky elements at the Disneyland resort year-round.

Collective member Joel Wallin joins me this week as we count down our ten favorite places to eat in the Disneyland Resort. Some are in the top 10 because of the food, others the ambiance, while some are just the memories of Disneyland visits past. This is a GREAT time to plan a dining strategy for your next trip when Disneyland reopens! Do you agree with our choices? Did we get some wrong? Did we miss your favorite? Join the conversation on social media and let us know!!

This week, Disney Television Editor Bryce Randle joins me to discuss Pixar Pier. We go through the history of the area as Paradise Pier, discuss the transition to Pixar Pier and even talk through Paradise Garden. 

This week, Bryan and Sean Lords of Word on the Main Street Podcast join me as we rank our favorite lands in Disneyland Park.

This week, Skipper Rob joins me to talk about the Disneyland classic Space Mountain! We talk about the theming, the music, the ride vehicles, why Shawn hates the ride vehicles, the line, the twists and turns, Ghost Galaxy, HyperSpace Mountain, Urban Legends and all things that make this one of the great attractions of all time!

On this episode, my guest is Bryce Randle. Bryce is an animation editor for Disney. He is also the author of an upcoming book on Disneyworld for Disneyland fans. This made him the perfect member of The Collective for this episode. We compare attractions that are both at Disneyland and Disneyworld. Which do we like better? Why? Why are they different in the first place? We share our likes and dislikes on each attraction. 

This week, Heather Wallwork joins me to talk all things Tiki Room. We also venture out to go over all the amazing food in Adventureland. We discover some amazing things we didn't know about this amazing area and talk about how great it would be if the Tiki Room was a restaurant as originally planned. We love the Tiki Room!

In this episode, lifelong Disneyland fan Nick Galieti joins me to discuss the long lost attraction The PeopleMover. What made this attraction such a classic? Why was PeopleMover through the World of Tron so great? Why the heck did they have to do Rocket Rods and will the PeopleMover EVER make it back to Disneyland? We break it all down on this week's episode of the Castle Collective!

Thanks for DROPPING IN! This week Sean Lords of Word On The Main Street Podcast joins me to talk about both the original Tower of Terror as well as Guardians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout. We talk a bit of history, what we love about both attractions, and so much more! It is the next best thing to being at the parks!
