  1. Disney Missed Opportunities Draft

    1D AGO

    Disney Missed Opportunities Draft

    What could have been? In Episode 3 of Fantasyland Draft League, Ryan flies solo in the co-host chair and is joined by Ginny West (@once_upon_a_castle_podcast_), host of Once Upon a Castle, and Teresa (@castles_and_coldbrews), co-host of DL Weekly, to fantasy-draft the greatest missed opportunities in Disney history. From lands that never broke ground to rides that got the axe before opening day, this five-round serpentine draft covers the what-ifs that still keep Disney fans up at night — parks, films, characters, and business decisions that changed the company's trajectory forever. Harry Potter. Westcott. Beastly Kingdom. The People Mover. Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. LucasArts. And at least one pick that might just land on the new CEO's desk. Is it better that some of these never happened? Or did Disney leave magic on the table? The crew debates, defends, and occasionally mourns. Listen, choose your winner, and join the conversation.

    Disney Ride Vehicles Draft

    What is the greatest Disney ride vehicle of all time? In Episode 2 of Fantasyland Draft League, Ryan is joined by FLDL co-host Bryan, Disney creator and ConciEARs planner Sarah (@_disneyland.dreamer_), and Tage, host of DLWeekly and The Hub Crawl, to fantasy-draft the best ride vehicles across Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Disney Parks worldwide. From Doom Buggies and Pirates of the Caribbean boats to Rise of the Resistance transports and Jungle Cruise launches, this five-round serpentine draft breaks down the vehicles that define Disney storytelling, innovation, and pure theme park vibes. Is it about comfort? Chaos? Engineering brilliance? Nostalgia? The crew debates classic dark rides, thrill attraction trains, trackless tech, and the vehicles that quietly carry entire experiences — all while defending their picks like it absolutely matters.

    Attraction Music

    Welcome to the very first official episode of Fantasyland Draft League, the Disney-centric fantasy draft podcast where the picks are made up and the vibes absolutely matter. Host Ryan is joined by co-host Olivia, along with guests Rob (Bantha Milk / Spokes) and Marie, for a serpentine-style draft all about Disney attraction music—the songs that live rent-free in your head long after you’ve left the park. From modern earworms like Nothing Can Stop Us Now to all-time classics like Grim Grinning Ghosts, Yo Ho (A Pirate’s Life for Me), Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow, and deep-cut favorites spanning Disneyland, Walt Disney World, EPCOT, and DCA, the crew debates what truly counts as an “attraction,” makes some bold picks, and shares personal park memories along the way. Whether you’re here for the strategy, the nostalgia, or just some good Disney banter, this episode sets the tone for what Fantasyland Draft League is all about—Disney discussions driven by friendly competition and a whole lot of heart.

From parks-focused drafts to movie showdowns and deep dives into Disney-owned franchises, this episode gives listeners a preview of what’s coming and the personalities behind the picks.
