Disney Dish with Jim Hill Ep 483: What were Disneyland’s first fireworks show like

The Jim Hill Media Podcast Network

Len Testa & Jim Hill start this week’s show by discussing the technical issues “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure” has been facing during its Cast Member preview period.

They also take a look at the room décor for WDW Island Tower (i.e., that new DVC which will be opening right next to WDW’s Polynesian Village Resort on December 17th)

In this episode, listeners will learn about:

  • Why would Owen & Dolly Pope always tour the corrals at Disneyland’s Circle D Ranch the mornings after fireworks had been shot off at Walt’s family fun park
  • When will Jollywood Nights be returning to Disney’s Hollywood Studios this year
  • How far back can the Disneyland tradition of a rope drop at the opening of the park be traced
  • Where did Disneyland management turn when it needed to recruit additional security officers to help man that theme park
  • Which Tomorrowland attraction back in the 1960s was able to handle 4000 Guests an hour
