The latest Disneyland news direct from the MiceChat crew. Let’s look at when the theme parks might reopen. We’ll warn you, it’s probably not what you want to hear. But there is a silver lining and someone at Disney has just been granted superpowers which just might help the company be a leader in getting the state economy restarted. We’ll also delve into the financial situation of several theme park companies. Some of them may be forced to sell or close parks – the likely candidates might surprise you. And not to worry, we’ll lift you up at the end with some favorite theme park items you can get from home! Press play and join Dusty, Doug, Chloe and Logan as they transport you Disneyland and beyond . . . HOSTS:

Who could have imagined a world in which ALL of the Disney parks would be closed at the same time!?! But not just Disney, every theme park, most tourist destinations, and entertainment as we know it paused for an unknown period of time. The MiceChat podcast ponders how we got here and where we are going. What does a prolonged shutdown mean for major Disney projects, unbuilt rides, lands, hotels, and more. While the answers aren't all cheery, you'll be glad to share an hour with Dusty, Doug, Chloe and Logan as they delve into the things you Disney fans want to know most at this difficult time in our lives.

Did you hear the Disney angels singing hallelujah? For a long weekend in August, all the Disney stars aligned during Disney's big Comic-Con like event, the D23 Expo. Of course, MiceChat was there. We set up a huge booth and offered three days of Disney Celebrity meet and greets, giveaways, podcasts and more. But the big fish was Disney itself, who set up massive pavilions for Imagineering, Archives, Legends and more. In this show, we tie ropes around our waists and jump head first into the cave of Disney wonders. We make it back with quite a few gems to share.

Synergy. No, it isn't a pavilion in Epcot, it isn't a high octane gasoline, it isn't an energy drink (though that might be a great name for one), it's the opportunity to make more money by combining efforts of two or more distinct things. In the case of Disney, there's been a lot of unique synergy going on recently. We'll be talking about a lot of that in today's Podcase. Join Al Lutz, Dusty Sage and Doug Barnes as we explore: - Disney's owership of Marvel Comics and how that may influence Tomorrowland - Disney's purchase of Lucas Films and what that means for the theme parks, merchandise and so much more. - How Disney California Adventure's Cars Land has been so successful that it may soon be cloned in Florida and Japan. Plus, lots of news, rumors and gossip that is sure to make you smile. |
