Well before the picnic mayhem of Mick and Min, there was always a place where we could go to be soothed by the sounds of an enraged duck trying to fix his past life mistakes.  A place where we could always get our fill of original Disney characters while duping youngsters into listening to classical music, welcome to Mickey’s PhilharMagic. Will this 4D adventure get Adriane and Ryan to finally understand what a conductor actually does, or will they just wave wands at each other like a Diagon alley standoff.  There is only one way to find out!

  • Hanging Out In The Century Club

Get your party ears ready cause we gone and made it to one hundred episodes. If we were a sitcom in the 80s we’d be syndicated now, which is probably why tv doesn’t work that way anymore.  We are ringing in our new centennial with a mega wrap up show; we got games, we got drinks, we got a hangover from all the games and drinks. Join Adriane and Ryan as we go over all the “Drink That Ride” episodes to see where we got it right, and where the booze got the better of our score cards. We also give you some tricky trivia from our past episodes and our favorite show titles over the past century. It's been a great one hundred episodes for The Dark Ride and were looking forward to what the next one hundred drinking podcasts will bring, hopefully not liver failure.
