Missing the Mouse

What’s inside the Tree of Life?

Pandora is coming soon and the news about it is starting to leak out even faster! AP previews are rumored to begin in April (*show note: AP previews were announced for May after recording*). We discuss what the previews might entail and what this may mean for possible soft openings. There are also rumors that […]

Disney’s Contemporary Resort and Disney’s Polynesian Village are unique hotels!

March Magic is back! Before getting into the rumors and speculation of the week we discuss the teams for this year’s competition and who’s bracket will reign supreme. Mission Space has a refurb planned for June. Is it just a refresh or something more? Finally, there has been some talk about moving the Magic Kingdom security checkpoints […]

There’s only half a plane in The Great Movie Ride. Where is the other half? Thanks to Chris on Facebook for suggesting this week’s Fun Fact! If you have a fun fact to share, let us know on Twitter and Facebook!

This week, in remembrance of Robert Osborne, we’re talking the Great Movie Ride. We talk the history of the attraction along with some of the interesting tidbits we’ve found out (like the story behind Clint Eastwood’s last-minute addition to the attraction). Special thanks to our buddy Chris on Facebook for suggesting this show! Don’t forget […]

There used to be a huge hidden Mickey at Walt Disney World. Do you know where?

Ever have one of those days when you plan to talk about many things and end up talking a lot about one thing? ABC did a day of Pandora with coverage on multiple shows so we discuss the different packages, what new things we saw about Pandora, and some of our expectations based on the coverage. […]

Epcot existed in 1967? Not quite but some aspects did! The Expo ’67 video can be found here.  

Just when we thought we were out, Mission Breakout pulls us back in! Jeremy gives us the latest update from his Mission Breakout watch.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom has special rules about cup adornments.

Brad has found an old 1995 copy of Birnbaum’s old 1995 Official Walt Disney World guide so it is time to reminisce about what prices used to be (and cry a little when compared to what they are now). Disney has raised the Express Transportation rates. Does this mean Express Transportation is here to stay or […]

Splash Mountain is named after the fact that it is a water ride, right? Wrong!

This episode is not brought to you by anyone regardless of what it may sound like. Brad lays out his ticket buying strategies and his decision to buy from undercovertourist.com while swearing he is not getting a kickback. There is now a rumor that Disney could be adding gondolas to their transportation system. The rumor […]

The singing busts in the Haunted Mansion sure are great…

What we thought would be a slow Disney Parks news week was filled rather quickly with Disney’s earnings call. Wishes ending date has been announced along with the replacement show, Happily Ever After, so Brad is planning his next trip to the parks. The earnings call included launch dates for Pandora and Star Wars land so we […]

Walt Disney World Resort is huge!

We all love fuzzy pictures of rumors so with WDWNT’s picture of the banshee from the new Pandora attraction out, we discuss our reactions. The MuppetVision 3D balloon is no more and Brad is sad while Jeremy is trying to remember what balloon we’re talking about. DisneyQuest has a July 3rd closing date and will be […]

Do you know how much it cost to visit Walt Disney World in 1971?

We take advantage of a slower week in Disney Parks news to discuss what attractions/shows/events removal(s) would cause us to plan an emergency trip to Walt Disney World.

When The Beatles broke up, one member decided to take a trip to the happiest place on earth.

Jeremy isn’t quite done discussing the new Star Wars tour and has an idea about how the tour could be more appealing. The cabanas are leaving, the cabanas are leaving! Celebration abounds and we decide if we shouldn’t have been so hard on them. We also discuss what kind of park-attached resort we might like […]

How many bowling pins are there at Pop Century?

Disney has announced the new MaxPass for Disneyland which includes unlimited PhotoPass and digital FastPass through the Disneyland app for a price. Money for fastpasses is a discussion we can never pass up! We also play a little catch up and cover the new Star Wars guided tour at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
