We always talk about Walt Disney World, but it's always fun to check in on the Happiest Place on Earth. We're joined by Jungle Cruiser, aka Cory, from Beyond the Railroad Podcast who brings us some news from Disneyland.
We'll of course start with his dream Disney job before talking about the Haunted Mansion, Tiana's Bayou Adventure and of course Halloweentime at Disneyland. After that we'll talk about some of the fan led events like Dapper Day, Tikiland day and the event Cory has been to, Adventureland Day. These are fun events put together by fans that work with the park to enjoy these events. We'll hear about the activities and the camaradarie involved in this event.

Turning Disney College Program into a Magic Kingdom Career

Send us a text

This week, we're joined by @julia_hartlaub, a Photopass Photographer and friend of the show to discuss her experience in the Disney College Program and how she turned that into a career at the Magic Kingdom.
As we've been doing, we'll start by hearing from some listeners about their Disney dream jobs before hearing Julia's Disney Dream Job
Now a Disney Photopass Photographer working at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World, Julia gets us started by discussing her background with Disney, how a cast member created some simple magic for her at the age of 9 and hooked her to wanting to work in a Disney Park.
We quickly dive into how she went from her first stint, to her second and then why she came back for her third run as a DCP cast member. After that third stint, she turned that into being a regular cast member and began working in Photopass. Along the way we'll get to hear where she hopes to go within the company along with how she will get there. Julia gives some great tips regarding some of the ways Disney helps you advance your career while explaining how her day to day job is completed.
This was a terrific conversation and I'm so excited to share this interview with you. After listening please let us know your Dream job and we'll read it on the show!

Creating New Attraction Overlays for Walt Disney World

I'm joined by Stephen and Kaity from Idiot's Guide to Imagineering to talk about Attraction Overlays that would be fun at Walt Disney World. Before we get started, we'll hear the last about Disney Dream Jobs. Stephen and Kaity tell us their dream jobs - even though they have worked extensively as Cast Members. We also hear from a listener about wanting to work in the kids activities area, either in the parks or the resorts.
With Walt Disney World not doing full blown Overlays as Disneyland does with the Haunted Mansion, it's fun to look at what could be. We'll hear from Stephen first with his idea to lightly add Christmas touches to Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway. Kaity will then talk about adding Coco to the Three Caballeros attraction in Epcot's Mexico Pavilion before talking about a fun idea of adding the holidays to Expedition Everest. Bryan then provides his idea of the Muppets Christmas Carol taking over Remy's Ratatouille Adventure and providing it from the point of view of Rizzo the Rat. This kicks off a conversation about the state of the Muppets. We even get into Honey, I Shrunk the Audience and Captain EO before getting back to Overlays. We'll consider the Simpson's taking over Tiana's Bayou Adventure and Muppet's Treasurer Island Overlaid on Pirates of the Caribbean.
Before our last conversation about holiday music played by Sonny Eclipse at Cosmic Ray's, we have a fun conversation about Alien Extra-terror-estrial and a scary Stitch.
