Enchanted Ears: A Disney Adults Podcast

Hello! We’re back from Disney and anxious to talk about it! But first, we discuss the latest (week old) Disney news. (Sorry, ‘bout that. Too much excitement over the End Game ticket release last time!) A new trailer for The Lion King dropped and Joe learned his lesson not to bring it up no matter how incredible he thinks it is. Also, the 2019 Food and Wine Festival dates were released ensuring tha...

Hello, you wonderful balls of sunshine! This week, we still have that Disney glow that you only get when you’ve visited the happiest place on earth. In Disney news, the new Star Wars trailer dropped and gives fans plenty to think about. From new characters (including an adorable new droid) to Rey’s sweet ninja flips to Kylo’s pieced together mask, the trailer already looks better than the whole of...

Most of you have probably heard of D23 because of the Expo held every two years where many major announcements are made. Did you know that it’s a special club, too? We just joined and hope to reap its many benefits. From going on studio tours with our family membership—and bringing Loki and Cas along in special pet strollers and getting an unlimited supply of dirty looks—to receiving discounts at...

With our trip to Disney looming over us like a big, heavy sun, I was wondering, what the heck can I eat in Disney now that I’m on a gluten-free diet. The short answer is a lot! With the growing number of people with food allergies, Disney’s impeccable customer service shows itself again in their varied menus and amazing accommodations for people with a myriad of dietary needs. Find out the best pl...

Nick Wilde and Tod will be happy to have another Fox in the house. With Disney's recent acquisition of Fox to a tune of $71.3 billion, change is afoot.

It's a crazy, exciting time! Check us out on  Facebook  or  submit a quest...

If I Were a Rich Girl (Daidle deedle daidle, Daidle daidle deedle daidle dumb) This week, we dream about what we’d do if we had the ability to pay for Disney’s newest VIP experience: the World of Dreams Tour. Essentially, it’s the Lebron James of tours that allows you to do almost anything you want in the parks as long as Disney says yes. Joe and I let our imaginations run wild as we dream up as m...

There’s always something to do in Disney World, no matter how many times you’ve gone. But have you ever felt like you needed to pack more into a short period of time? (Answer: always) Have you ever dreamed of having your own cast member escort you around the park and get you into the hottest rides? Or maybe the food is more your thing. Wouldn’t it be nice to see the behind-the-scenes machinations...

This week we talk about the history of animation.

Happy holidays! It’s been quite an amazing year! In this final episode of 2018, we recap our 2018 Disney highlights and discuss what we’re looking forward to most in 2019.

Joe introduces the phrase audience-goer into the vernacular and we do a...

Welcome to our most MARVELous episode yet! To honor Stan Lee’s amazing life, we dedicate this whole episode to the Netflix Marvel Televisic (totally not a word in case you were wondering) Universe. This episode doubles as our love letter to Daredevil, our first love and muse. Don’t worry if you like the other shows. We talk about them, too (a little). Also, we speculate what will happen once Disne...

In this episode, we remind ya’ll about what happens in the first movie and highlight some of the high points of the original concept. We also predict what we think Disney should emphasize in this larger-than-life concept where literally all of human existence and every meme ever crea...

I don’t like to pick favorites, but this is one of my favorite episodes we’ve done so far. We’re so excited to tell you about the Pixar Theory this week. What is the Pixar Theory exactly? It might be confusing and a little crazy, but this theory ties all of the Pixar flicks together in the same universe and under a unifying theme. Plus we discuss Ed Catmull’s retirement. Check us out on  Facebook...

Most of them are cute. A lot of them are fuzzy. All of them are awesome! This week we discuss some of our favorite Disney sidekicks. From gorillas to chameleons to genies, Disney’s thought of it all.
