Jenny Weinbloom is the coolest Disney executive around — there, I said it! — and this week, she's on Very Amusing!

Our interview aboard the Disney Destiny REALLY feels like peeking behind the curtain of how Disney Cruise Line decides what experiences to bring us. (And even better -- we got to chat in the suite! the suite!!!)

I'm blown away by her career and how she's brought New York's best theatrical experiences into Disney storytelling, and i guarantee you will be too! THIS ONE IS SO FUN!!!!!!

HOW DID WALT DO IT?!! That's right we're talking about Disneyland Handcrafted, the new mind-boggling film documenting the year (THE SINGLE! YEAR!) it took to build Disneyland. As you'll soon hear me yell about at length, director Leslie Iwerks' film is an absolutely stunning look at the process, complete with archival footage that, oh ya know, had no sound until it was added to this film. It's out January 22, but this episode will give you the lowdown on the film, what it was like to attend the Disneyland Handcrafted premiere on the Walt Disney Studios Lot (omg the attendees!) and, as a bonus, we've even got an interview with Leslie Iwerks herself!

This one is a Disneyland doozy, you're gonna love it!

We are back for the second year with our bucket list travel episode (!) featuring seven INCREDIBLE sights you (and I!) both need to see. They're theme park-y enough to give you an absolute thrill but also all domestic (WHEE!) which means it's easier than ever to cross one of these off your list. (even if I wanna cross 'em ALL off because miniatures, audio-animatronics AND indoor cities!? this one's got it all!

...on account of me STILL NOT HAVING MY WHOLE VOICE BACK! (seriously, we're on like, 9? 10? days now?!)

ANYWAY, I am able to now produce noise which is great but talking for an hour is just....not possible. (you'll hear in this little short clip, I'm hoarse! I'm big time hoarse, and I'm doing my best to recover ASAP.)

Our final episode of 2025 (!) will air sometime between the end of this week (12/19) and next Wednesday (12/14). Yeah, I don't love it either, but I will get it to you as soon as I physically can!!!!

OK on my way to the ENT to see if we can speed things along...love y'all and see you soon!!
