The Supreme Resort

Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room was the first fully animatronic show ever built at Disneyland.  And,  as a result of the super hot massive computers that ran it,  also the first air conditioned attraction. Walt Disney world's version has ... um ... well it's the same, so we're going to handle this show a bit differently. Join us while we interview Erik Johnson, who works at our official travel p...

The many adventures of Winnie the Pooh is a classic dark ride at Magic Kingdom and Disneyland.  The AA Milne characters have been part of the Disney family since the 1960s but did not become part of an attraction in the US parks until 1999.  The rides on both coasts are virtually identical, but the lands and the queues vary wildly.  Does the interactive queue at Walt Disney World outweigh the rela...

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is many people’s first roller coaster.  Originally a spiritual successor to Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland at Disneyland, it was mirrored and opened later at Walt Disney World.  Has Jimmy pushed Jeremy to the breaking point yet?  Have you ever tried “The goat trick?”  Will Dan ever stop watching Perri on Disney+? Tune in to find out. Don’t forget to subscribe...

Star Tours is a beloved attraction.  It was a revolutionary ride in the theme park industry at the time and was the spiritual predecessor of attractions like Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye.  Now that Batuu exists and another spiritual successor Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run is now entertaining guests, should Star Tours still exist? Listen as the boys engage in a lively debate...

The Haunted Mansion is a beloved attraction.  The mystery of its structure being erected years before its actual opening have been passed down through generations of Disneyland fans.  Both Mansion rides were developed and built simultaneously and therefore share the same history.  Both attractions share much of the same ride experience.  Does the size of the mansion affect the riders experience? ...

Wild mouse coasters are often an off-the-shelf ride experience with little-to-no story.  These two Disney versions are no real exception. Primeval Whirl has some variations in the ride system, but Goofy’s Sky School is in the ever famous Paradise Gardens Park. Both attractions are/were in lands largely modeled after carnivals and/or road side fairs. Those lands fundamentally differ from Walt’s ori...

The Disneyland hotel opened shortly after Disneyland in 1955, but wasn’t owned by Disney until the mod 1980s. It was the first hotel built to bare the Disney name.   The Contemporary resort was the first Disney Hotel deliberately built to be able to be seen from inside a Disney theme park.  Will the fact that the monorail drives through the hotel give the Contemporary the push to become the suprem...

New Orleans Square was among the last projects Walt Disney had his hands in.  Liberty square’s concept was supposed to be the first expansion of Disneyland.  How will these two squares match up?  They both serve a similar function for their parks.  They both have a haunted mansion. They both have imaginer Bill Evans fingerprints.  Which square will reign supreme?  Let’s find out together.  Thank y...

Test Track was a replacement for World of Motion at Epcot. In the newest version, with a Tron aesthetic, you can actually design the virtual car you ride and then see the performance results afterward. Radiator Springs Racers is at the heart of the Cars Land expansion which was a part of the reimagining effort for Disney California Adventure. This attraction takes you through Radiator Springs and...

The monorail is one of the most iconic symbols for the U.S. Based Disney Parks and Resorts.  Disneyland’s monorail was the first daily operating monorail system in the western hemisphere.  Walt Disney World’s monorail carries an average of 150,000 passengers each day.  The Disneyland Monorail actually starts in Disneyland Park!  WDW monorail has over 14 miles of track!  Which one of these iconic c...

The technological breakthrough that is the ride vehicle for Indiana Jones Adventure and later used by Dinosaur changed the thrill ride game.  It took the idea of the motion simulator first used in Star Tours and changed the game once again by having it move in a physical space.  Hear Jimmy, Jeremy and Dan explore how theming, story and animatronics help shape the impact of these two similar yet dr...

Disney Parks are famous for their mountains. From Matterhorn to Space, Splash and beyond.  Hear the boys discuss and debate which is better between The Matterhorn, Disney’s first mountain themed attraction, and its spiritual successor Expedition Everest, which became Disney’s 18th mountain themed attraction.  Be prepared to discuss every facet including - but not limited to - trees and wind!!
