Remain Seated, Please is a podcast and blog about Disneyland for Disneyland fans and by Disneyland fans. Life-long Disneyland fans, in fact. The creators of Remain Seated, Please (David and Robert) met in college not only because they were both in the film program but because of their mutual love and respect for the Magic Kingdom.
Together we hope to inspire, educate, and invigorate, but most of all bring the parks to you on the web. We know we are but a drop in the bucket but we believe with our personal touches as well as our featured writers, we can all meet here to give our opinions and to talk about the past, present, and future of the Disneyland Resort as well as the other Disney parks around the world.
Join us, wont you, for discussions and reports from the Land to your screen.

Happy 50th Anniversary, Haunted Mansion!
When speakers hiss in unplugged headphones and strange and frightening sounds echo through the pod...
Whenever podcast hosts giggle where dead air is filled with cheer - that is the time when we celebrate!
Yes, one of the greatest attractions of all time - The Haunted Mansion - turns 50 on the day this episode launches! To celebrate, we are going over our list of the top 50 reasons to love the Haunted Mansion.
In this episode, we each contributed 10 items on our own bringing our total to 40 items and then we had some very special guests "from all over the world" submit some of their favorite reasons they love the mansion to round out the top 50!
Follow along as we start at the beginning of the attraction and make our way to the end and point out a few of our favorite things!
A very special thanks to Walt Disney Imagineer Jeff Moskowitz, Disney Studios producers David Daniels and Sean Madden, Disney Voice Artist Mark Silverman, blink-182's Mark Hoppus, David and Suzi's son Wesley, Rio Brown, and Cody Meacham for their valuable contributions to our comprehensive list!
What is your favorite part of the Haunted Mansion? Did your item make our list? Is there merchandise you'd love to see made based on the attraction? Is "The Nightmare Before Christmas" a Halloween or Christmas film? Let us know in the comments below!

Disneyland Traditions!
This may not be the longest episode we've done this season, but this is among the kinds of topics from which this blog and podcast were started!
Join us this week as we talk about the traditions and rituals we have when going to the parks! There's plenty of Pirates of the Caribbean talk as well as other idiosyncrasies we have while visiting the parks! For example, did you know there's a "right" way and a "wrong" way to do Disneyland?!*
*there isn't
Listen in horror and amazement as you can almost hear Suzi and Inthia staring worriedly at David and Robert while they go on and on about the weird rituals they have while at the parks.
This was a wildly fun and unhinged episode to record and we hope you enjoy it!
Do you or anyone you know have these kinds of traditions or rituals while at the parks? Are we alone in thinking there's a "right" way to do Disneyland? Let us know in the comments below!

Attractions That Never Were: Volume 1!
Listener beware! You're in for a scare! Or at least a semi-heartbreaking trip down Imagineering's memory lane which includes some of the best attractions designed that never came to fruition!
In this first part of what may turn into a multi-part series, we discuss WESTCOT CENTER at Disneyland Resort, Beastly Kingdom at Animal Kingdom, Disneyland's Enchanted Snow Palace, and Magic Kingdom's Western River Expedition!
The greatest take-away from this episode is probably that Marc Davis is not only one of the most prolific Disney Cast Members to have ever been, but also the one that got the shaft the most in terms of amazing attraction designs that were shelved. At least in this episode, he really gets the Imagineering version of the short straw!
As you listen along, check out these highlights from our recaps!
Here's a ton of photos of the plan for WESTCOT Center thanks to Yesterland.com:
Beastly Kingdom has some GREAT video content which can be seen here:
While you're here, be sure to give Beastly The Unicorn a follow!
Next stop is the Enchanted Snow Palace! Check out this amazing Marc Davis art courtesy of D23!
And finally, thanks for Passport2Dreams, we are able to take a peek at some of the great work Marc Davis did for Western River Expedition along with Robert's personal photos from D23 when they had the model on display!
In doing the research for this episode, we discovered a bevy of other attractions that never were! Is this a topic you'd like to hear us revisit? Which of these are you most disappointed about never having come to fruition? Let us know in the comments below!

Toontown: A History!
"Toontown, Toontown - goin' to Mickey's Toontown, Toontown..."
Yes, Toontown! The fun and fancy free land just beyond the berm north of Fantasyland and the happiest cruise that ever sailed, Toontown opened in 1993 and has been entertaining families and children of all ages for over 26 years!
Join us as we take an auditory step into the history of this once-hidden gem* and explore our favorite pals' homes, an attraction or two, and elements that have since gone to Yesterland!
For fun, here's some of the video content we discovered along the way:
Here's one of the original TV commercials for Toontown at Disneyland:
Here's that amazing Toontown theme song from the Toontown Kids TV show:
Here's some of the episode of Full House when the Tanner family visited Walt Disney World and found Michelle in Mickey's Birthdayland (which went on to become Mickey's Toontown Fair!):
Someone then took the footage from the Full House WDW episode and cut together a show open. It's REALLY well done!
Finally, check out one of the many bizarre commercials for Disney's Toontown: The Game:
If it's Toontown related, we've got the info right here so why don't you stay awhile and listen in on some Toontown history!
What's your favorite memory of Toontown? Do you have a favorite attraction? Let us know in the comments below!

Customer Reviews
A wonderful podcast by guys who get it
I know this podcast may not come back, but it was the best of its genre. They captured what makes the Disney parks fun without getting hung up on any of the corporate drama that other similar podcasts couldn’t seem to avoid. There’s a bit of a personal connection for me, as well. My family would listen to these episodes while I was deployed, and we’d chat about them every week or so. We had a Disneyland trip planned for when I got back, so it gave us something to focus on besides the fact that we were apart. So thank you, David and Robert, for distilling so wonderfully what brought us to the parks year after year, and keeping my family connected while I was away.
A fave
Miss this podcast! It was one of my Disney faves. Come back!!
A Disney Park Fan’s dream podcast.
If you love to geek out over Disney parks, this is going to be your new favorite podcast. What’s so amazing about Remain Seated Please is it’s unique format in talking about what we all adore about Disney parks, what keeps us coming back and back forever, and examining the details and magic. Plus, throw in charming hosts, lots of laughs, edited to perfection with sounds and music - it all adds up to the ultimate Disney podcast! (The into and outdo alone with worth a listen!)
