Disney PhilharpodcastEpisode 66: Halloween Treats (& Tricks) on Disney+Since the last episode, we've been granted VIP full access of just about the entire catalogue of Disney content. We dive into this "Disney+" and pick some of the spookiest titles to watch in the holiday spirit. Toon in for our scattered thoughts and notes on chillers like Toy Story of Terror, Halloweentown starring Hollywood's Debbie Reynolds, The Black Cauldron, and Mickey & the original Ghostbusters. We also preview our six part series on Wind in the Willows, realize that Ichabod Crane isn't quite cutting it as a 'Ladies Man' (particularly in 2020), and even do a few roundups, including an impromptu...2020-11-021h 20
Disney PhilharpodcastEpisode 65: Hall of PresidentsAlmost 1.5 years ago in NYC/Denver, a podcast was born. In a time of emperors and kings, it was an astounding, revolutionary dream—that we, Disney Philharpodcast, should relive the magic and learn facts we should already know.
Learn the facts about the Hall of Presidents here with us in an episode where singing Hamilton songs is finally relevant but Laura and Andrew forget the lyrics, we learn a great hidden talent of Andrew's, somehow avoid doing ANY League of their Own jokes and of course...this is one of Alison's FAVORITE attractions.

Disney PhilharpodcastEpisode 63: France PavilionBonjour et bienvenue to Disney Philharpodcast! In this episode we learn facts we should already know about the France Pavilion, one of the opening day World Showcase Pavilions in Epcot.

And don't think an episode dedicated to such a beautiful, romantic, perfectly themed space managed to skate by without a mention of The Shaggy Dog starring Tim Allen...

But we thought the best (and most fun) way to do an episode about the Sorcerer's Hat was to have a good old fashioned debate about it and have each side present (1) the reasons why it sucked and (2) a few reasons why maybe it was great! So please join us as Laura and Alison go head to head in a ridiculously fun debate (dis)organized by a "neutral" moderator!

Disney PhilharpodcastEpisode 39: The Sorcerer's Hat (A Great Debate)This episode is just about as crazy as the idea to erect a 122 foot hat in the center of an otherwise perfectly themed Hollywood Studio set in the 1930's. But we thought the best (and most fun) way to do an episode about the Sorcerer's Hat was to have a good old fashioned debate about it and have each side present (1) the reasons why it sucked and (2) a few reasons why maybe it was great! So please join us as Laura and Alison go head to head in a ridiculously fun debate (dis)organized by a "neutral" moderator!
