Welcome to Episode I of the Main Entrance Cast! In this episode, we introduce the new format of the podcast, including news, trip reports and, of course, the Feature Presentation, which for this episode is Main Entrances. We know there was a long wait, and we appreciate your patience while we worked out a few details to make the show the best it could be now, and it’s only going to get better from here!
News (6:24)
In our news segment, we’re talking about a couple headlines from the past month that merit further analysis, extrapolation, and other mindless ramblings. We talk about the 4/15 Notre Dame fire, including our thoughts on the efforts to raise money to rebuild. Next, we cover the announcement about the revision of Rivers of Light at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Finally, we jump into Meow Wolf Kaleidoscape at Denver’s Elitch Gardens park.
Where in the World is Nick? (23:18)
Our co-host Nick had the opportunity to take an Amtrak train from Denver to San Francisco. In this trip report, Nick briefly covers his thoughts about making an overnight train trip in a sleeper car (along with the craziness that came with it), as well as his marathon visit to the city of San Francisco, including the Walt Disney Family Museum.
Feature Presentation (48:22)
Why is this podcast called the Main Entrance Cast? Why are Main Entrances important, or are they at all. In this segment, Nick and Katie talk about what purpose a Main Entrance can serve, and what are some aspects found in good ones, bad ones, or those in-between. While the conversation expands to include entrance “lands” like Main Street, USA, and Port of Entry at Universal’s Islands of Adventure, the topic revolves around the importance of the thresholds to fun and discovery!
