    Ghost Dog: An Interview with Bob Weis

    Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. The Reflections DVC resort might not be dead after all, it’s just getting a new name.  Plus the Disney Treasure had its official christening and we were hyped for the accompanying drone show. This week, we are delighted to be joined once again by Bob Weis, former President of Walt Disney Imagineering, to discuss his newest book, Ghost Dog. The story combines Bob’s love of the Haunted Mansion and everyone’s love of dogs to answer the question, what if a ghost (dog) really did follow you home? Plus, since we don’t know the next time we’ll have the chance to talk to an Imagineer, we ask some of our more obscure ride questions and Angela pitches her Escape from Elephant Graveyard attraction idea.

    Should You Stay Off Property at Disney World?

    Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Disney finally announced where the new Monsters Inc. land will be going in Hollywood Studios and it’s going to be taking over Muppets Courtyard.  But the Muppets will still have a presence in the park with a redo of Rockin Roller Coaster. We discuss some of the longer term impacts of these moves. Should you stay on property or off property for your next Disney World Vacation? That’s the question we aim to answer today and it’s a lot more complicated than you might think. Sure there are a lot of benefits from staying on Disney property, but those benefits have changed throughout the years and the amount of money you could save from staying off property may make it worth it. So before you book your next trip to Disney World, tune in and see if staying off property might be right for you. Submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode.

    Disney+ 5 Years Later: Was It Worth It?

    Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Disney Cruise Line announce that their newest ship, the Disney Adventure, will have not one, not two, but three attractions including their first ever roller coaster at sea. And if we weren’t excited before, we are now. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 5 years since the launch of Disney+. Back then, it was seen as a great value in the world of streaming with access to the entire Disney vault for the low price of $6.99/month. And while it launched to great fanfare (and the debut of the Mandalorian) it’s been a bit of a roller coaster ride since. So this week we take a look back at the history of Disney+ and the shifting strategies Disney has taken to try and make it profitable. Submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode.

    Best Rides & Dining with Only 4 Hours at Disney World

    Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Just as you can count on the leaves changing for Fall, you can count on Disney World to raise ticket prices.  This week Disney World announced price increases for all levels of their annual pass.  But hey, at least they also announced Satu’li Canteen is going to start service breakfast. So we guess it isn’t all bad. We’d all love to spend the whole day in the parks, but what if your time was limited? Maybe you only have a few hours. Well you’re in luck, because on today’s show we’re walking through our perfect day at each Disney World park if we only had 4 hours. What are the must ride attractions?  The shows we would prioritize? The food we would eat? Plus, if you are feeling adventurous and want to try the 4 park challenge we offer our tips and tricks for making the most of the experience.

    The History of Halloween in Disney Parks

    Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. We finally have a date for when parts of Dinoland will start closing for its conversion to Tropical Americas. Plus Big Thunder Mountain at Magic Kingdom is getting a year long overhaul and Brooks announced a major partnership with RunDisney. Seeing as it’s Halloween this week, we are discussing the history of the holiday in the parks. Plus, what sounded like a good idea at the time, we show up in costume. While Halloween is big business at Disney now, it wasn’t always that way.  In fact, most of what you know and love about Halloween time in the parks came around within the past 20 years.
