Enchanted Ears: A Disney Adults Podcast

This week, in Disney News, we spoke too soon about the smooth opening of the Skyliner a few weeks ago. On October 6th, six days after opening, it broke down leaving visitors stranded for a few hours. Hopefully, they can work out the kinks soon. Also, this week, the trailer for Jungle Cruise dropped and so did our jaws. The movie looks like it’ll be as much fun as Pirates of the Caribbean and have...

This week, in Disney News, Kevin Feige is moving on over to Star Wars! He’ll be helping produce a new movie with LucasFilm’s Kathleen Kennedy and we’re really excited to see what he brings to the table. Spider-Man’s back!!! Sony and Disney finally reach that agreement we’ve been hoping for. Also, the dates for EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival were announced and this year, there’s going to be a R...

This week, in a snippet released to the public from Bob Iger’s book The Ride is a Lifetime, he mentions how he believes Disney and Apple would’ve merged had Steve Jobs still been alive. We discuss what Disney would be like if this occurred. Also, Disney patents “capturepult” technology to stop and kick start boat rides to prevent traffic jams. Also, Tokyo Disney finally announces an epic expansion...

Hello and welcome! This week, Disney News starts out sweet with the introduction of the Peanut butter brownie at Hollywood Studios Backlot Express. Look up a picture because this incredible little dessert will have you booking your next trip (or buying an endless supply of Reese’s Pieces and Peanut Butter Cups to try to replicate the magic). Disney World cuts a few shows and moves over more charac...

We discuss a heart-warming story of a boy with a dream, who gives it up to help others. (And Disney being involved, is generously rewarded for his selfless actions.)  Also, the next installment of drama between Sony and Disney over the use of Spider-man in the MCU continues. The two companies are trying to work things out, which includes rumored larger percentages for Disney and the inclusion of V...

This week in Disney news, two of the most magical titans of industry unite: Disney and Target! Twenty-five Targets are getting mini Disney Stores inside. (Is anyone else hearing all of the Disney princesses sing in beautiful harmony inside your head?) Hopefully, this venture succeeds and they can roll this out to more stores sooner rather than later. Disney rereleased Aladdin on Blu-ray, so we tak...

This week is ALL news. We cover the announcements made at D23. There were tons of movie announcements. Black Panther will finally get a sequel in 2022. Pixar announced Soul, a movie that will feature Jamie Foxx and Tina Fey. Also, he might not know much, but Kit Harrington knows he’s going to play the Black Knight in the Eternals. Some new trailers came out for movies going straight to Disney+ and...

This week in Disney news, pour one out for Spider-man. Since Sony and Disney can’t reach an agreement moving forward to allow Disney to continue to use Spider-Man in their movies, Tom Holland has officially been kicked out of the MCU. This leads into a discussion about whether Disney is becoming too large and is throwing their weight around. Or if their size could cause potential issues with creat...

This week in Disney News, "it's a small world" in Disney World is rumoured to be getting some new Disney character animatronics.   A big secret will be revealed at D23 on the 22nd. We speculate what that may be and hold out hope that another park is getting built in India!   This week, we talk DisneySea, Disney's second park in Tokyo. Sea's sea-based (duh) with many different lands. We take a coun...

Konnichiwa! We're back from Japan and so excited to share our trip to Tokyo Disneyland with you! We did so much in the short day and a half we were there. (The other day and a half were spent at Disney Sea. Stay tuned for that episode next week!)   Environment-wise, the Tokyo Disneyland park was like an even cuter, less commercialized version of the American parks. Duffy the Disney Bear is king an...

And we’re back. And boy are we rusty.  Seriously, it took 5 tries to get the intro right (stay after the episode for the outtakes)   Fresh off our journey to Japan we catch up on all the Disney News we missed in the last three weeks.    But before we get to news, Angela gives us her take on the live action Lion King movie.    First up, we discuss Disney’s absolute dominance at the global box offic...

When we say we’re doing a whole episode on a voice actor, you might be like, “Angela and Joe...I’ve supported you through some strange episode ideas, but one based on some dude I don’t even know...I don’t know if I can follow you here.” If you don’t already know, I’ll assure you he isn’t just a voice actor. Alan Tudyk is THE voice actor. A former student at the prestigious Julliard, Tudyk has play...

This week in Disney News, are Disney pins going digital? Disney filed for a patent for trading tiles. From the sound of it, you could collect them like pins, but they’d be entirely on your phone. We discuss the implications of this and whether or not we’d be interested. As our main topic, we canvas several Disney-related topics and answer the question: “Is it worth it?” Is it worth purchasing the...

In Disney News, there are big changes coming to Epcot. As of July 8th, the Liberty Inn closed to make room for a new BBQ restaurant called The Regal Eagle. In addition to this, essentially the whole front of the park (minus Spaceship Earth) is closing to be redone.   This week, we talk about the most overrated and underrated Epcot attractions. What rides are the cream of the crop and which rides s...

This week, on our series Disney Decades, we jump right into the most interesting and tumultuous decade yet: the 1940s. The Disney Company is struggling to stay on top with the high cost of animation and the declining foreign market due to World War II. After the smashing success of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, films like Pinocchio, Fantasia, and Bambi don’t quite generate the money that it cos...

This week, in Disney News, prices for the American Disney parks are going up again, specifically for the Annual Passholders. (Shocking, right? 😂) Also, after a sad year or so of the animation experience not being in Hollywood Studios, Disney World is set to bring it back. This time, you can draw your favorite characters with a Disney animator in Animal Kingdom at Rafiki’s Planet Watch!! This week...

Oh boy, what a week. Turns out Endgame’s going to be re-released with a bonus 6 minutes!  Gotta beat that Avatar record somehow. Our second piece of news leads right into the main topic for the week: FastPass at Disney World are changing in Hollywood Studios. Basically, several of the parks operate off of a tier system with tier 1 rides being the most desired and 2 a little less popular. When book...

Happy 85th birthday to Donald Duck whose been causing trouble since 1934! In honor of the lovable and ornery duck, Joe kicks off the pod by quizzing me on some Donald facts. Do I crush his score on the trivia? You’ll have to listen and see! This week, we talk about the opening of Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland. The first week, wait times were pretty low, especially when you contrast them with the 10...

Better late than never! On this week's episode, once we get past Angela's awesome (?) DJ Khaled impersonation we take a deep dive into Disney Vacation Club. We start with the basics and quickly move into the pros and cons of becoming a DVC member.  If you’ve ever been interested in whether DVC is a good idea, this episode is for you. Plus, in Disney news we discuss the recent TEA/AECOM Theme Park...

So much news this week! First of all, this is the last week for our contest. Just post a review using whatever podcasting platform you use and then screenshot it. Check out our Facebook and Instagram for more details.   Also, as of our recording, Galaxy’s Edge opens this upcoming weekend, but for you time travelers, it’s already happened! It was probably crazy. But yay, Galaxy’s Edge! Speaking of...

In this week’s Disney News, if you happen to be one of the lucky people going to Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge this weekend and you happen to overstay your welcome, you’ll be kicked out by Storm Troopers!!! Yes, you read that right, Storm Troopers! (Disclaimer: Enchanted Ears doesn’t endorse overstaying your welcome, but it would be pretty cool to be kicked out by Storm Troopers!!!) Also, to accommod...

In this week’s brief Disney News, there’s a rumored second park in the Shanghai Disney location…and even better, Bob Iger has hinted that it could be a whole park dedicated to Marvel!! For the rest of the episode…. Welcome to the Roaring 30s…for Disney at least. While everyone was suffering through the Great Depression, Disney doubled down and worked hard to stay afloat and to continue innovating....

This week in Disney News, Disney released their cryptic list of movies for the next 8 years. Good news is there will be a lot more Marvel. Disney will own your Christmas season with Star Wars and Avatar. Also, the space-themed restaurant is slated to open this year.   Boy-Howdy did we miss a lot talking about our last Disney trip, so this week we review the things we missed in our recap episode. ...

Also, get your phone ready to snap a few Instagrammable pictures of the new Kylo Ren cupcake and the incredible-looking lightsaber churros! In this episode, have fun playing along as we try to guess the land or ride using the music...

In this week’s Disney News, Disney announces they’re taking a break on Star Wars movies, which is no real surprise after Solo didn’t do as well as expected. Also, Disney finally released that Galaxy’s Edge reservations give you a 4 hour window to explore the park and fit you with shock collars to enforce the time limit. (Okay…not really, but it’d get people out of the park on time, wouldn’t it?) T...
