SAVING MARCELINE, MISSOURI'S UPTOWN THEATRE
Disney fans rejoice. On this episode, I’m chatting with Ed Comber from Next Stage Preservation. At Next Stage Preservation, they’re working to bring Marceline, Missouri’s Uptown Theatre back to life. Marceline, Missouri is the boyhood hometown of Walt Disney, and the Uptown Theatre is a cinema on Marceline’s Main Street where Walt and Roy premiered “The Great Locomotive Chase”. The Uptown Theatre has a long history, but sadly, in recent years it has fallen into disrepair. A lot of money and work will need to go into bringing it back to life, and Ed is working hard to make that a reality. He’s already had some success getting the Uptown Theatre on the National Register of Historic Places, which is no small feat. Listen as Ed and I discuss the theatres' history, the small town of Marceline, Missouri, and what Ed envisions for the reopening of the theatre during its 100th anniversary. That and so much more on this episode.

WHY WALT DISNEY'S ENCHANTED TIKI ROOM IS HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT
Disney fans rejoice and imagine you’re at Disneyland right now. You’re approaching The Hub and you turn left to cross the bridge into Adventureland. As you cross the bridge, you see Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room on your left. Do you decide to enter? If your answer is “No”, I’m sure it will change to “Yes” by the end of today’s episode as you’ll have a much greater appreciation for this attraction. Joining me is Ken Bruce, author of “Before the Birds Sang Words”. In his book, Ken deep dives into the history of this attraction that has Walt’s hands all over it. Ken makes his case as to why it’s one of the most important attractions inside a Disney park and why it should always remain. Plus, we get into the rich history of this attraction and dispel some rumors that have been touted for years. Join me and Ken as we discuss Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room.

DISNEY PLAYS "BURBANK" & "THE FAIREST" WITH THE WRITER/DIRECTOR
Disney fans rejoice! I recently came across an online streaming service called Thirdwing, where they produce original theatre you can stream at home. Thirdwing caught my attention when I found two of their plays, “Burbank: The Strike Against Walt Disney” and “The Fairest”, a play about the women in Disney’s Ink & Paint Department. In this episode, I chat with the writer and director of both plays, Cameron Darwin Bossert. In addition, he even performs the role of Walt Disney in one of them. While speaking with Cameron, I was particularly impressed with the amount of research he had done, even though a good portion of the story comes from his imagination. And you’ll never guess what inspired Cameron to write them. That and so much more in this episode.

Customer Reviews
Informative and wildly entertaining
Just discovered the show through a friend referral. Obviously fans of Disney parks will enjoy it, but Jeff also welcomes influential figures, industry professionals and historians to give a full perspective on not only the hot topics of the time, but relevant topics that have had an impact on Disney parks and the industry. Love the interview with a long-time technician and animator all about Audio-Animatronics. The house of mouse headlines also keep me up-to-date not only with what’s happening in my backyard, but parks around the world. Great for planning.
Nostalgia explosion!
The Tower of Terror episode blew my mind! There’s also some really good AYAOTD information in that one too.
Great Big Beautiful Podcast
This podcast is awesome! Great interviews, great guests, great host! Check it out!
