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 mini roundup to decide "what car would Oogie Boogie drive?" and other hits like "for how much would you sell your childhood stuffed animal?" Burning questions like these answered (not really) and more on this week's episode of the pod!

Episode 66: Halloween Treats (& Tricks) on Disney+

Almost 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. @disphilharpod @disneyphilharpodcast

Episode 65: Hall of Presidents

Aaaaaand we're baaaaack! We've been really lazy but we're just going to call this unplanned, unannounced, unexplained hiatus an "extended Thanksgiving break". In order to ease ourselves back into the 'heavy lifting' we just cranked out a little news and rumors episode for you. Enjoy! @disneyphilharpodcast @disphilharpod (tweet, tweet)

Episode 64: News & Rumors

Bonjour 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. This incredible pavilion has everything: Alison's favorite ________, comfortable chairs and air conditioning, Chanel No. 5, half baguettes, a secret restaurant (shhh), wool sweaters from the 80's, and things with posters! 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... @disneyphilharpodcast @disphilharpod

Episode 63: France Pavilion

Concluding our "no-so-Trip-Report" Trip Report we present to you some more park sounds, even more beef, our thorough first timer reviews of Pandora: World of Avatar, Avatar: Flight of Passage, and Navi River Cruise...er...Journey, and probably the strangest Andy's Roundup we've ever done (which is saying A LOT). And stay tuned while Laura reveals her biggest beef on property! *This Episode brought to you by the Gary Busey School of Acting, Joyride 3, and the condiment bar at Restaurantosaurus. @disneyphilharpodcast @disphilharpod

Episode 62: Trip Snippets 3.5

We're back from our trip and somehow managed to fight off the PDD (Post Disney Depression) long enough to record just half of our version of a trip report for you! So please enjoy this first of two parts episode in which we look back at the Magic Kingdom and Epcot days of our trip! Hear Andrew's tips on adding guests to your 6-top Saturday night Sanaa reservations, SO MUCH BEEF WITH RAISINS, a glimpse into Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, and the soothing sounds of the 9,999 Maniacs. Enjoy! @disneyphilharpodcast @disphilharpod

Episode 61: Trip Snippets 3

It's Merry, Not So Scary! or... It's Really Not So Scary! Choose your own lyrics, really! In this Episode...you guessed it...we are talking all about Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party; MNSSHP if you're fancy :) This super fun ticketed event hap---WAIT A MINUTE---we already did that idea! Anyway, here is an update to our first MNSSHP Episode; an addendum, if you will. We also take a good look at the special offerings for the 2017 parties because we are headed to one next week. Also, stay tuned until the end if you want to hear Laura's dissertation on the recurring themes of holiday Hallmark Channel movies. @disneyphilharpodcast @disphilharpod

Episode 60: Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (2017 Edition)

After BEING FORCED to move to Salem, Mass. AGAINST HIS WILL, teenager Max Dennison (total lame-o) explores an abandoned house with his sister Dani (who is so much cooler than her brother) and their new friend, Allison (rich girl with nice YABBOS). After totally embarrassing himself by mocking a story Allison tells, Max, being the virgin and big dummy that he is, accidentally (on purpose) frees a coven of evil witches who used to live in the house. Now, with the help of a magical cat (Thack Binx) and their new best friend Billy Bones, the kids must steal the witches' skin-wrapped peeping Tom book of spells to stop them from becoming immortal while their parents have the time of their lives partying all night. AND GARRY MARSHALL. Follow along as we talk some fun facts about the movie, learn stuff we should already know, gush about how much we love the film and also make fun of Max a lot. YES ITS A DISNEY MOVIE! @disneyphilharpodcast @disphilharpod

Episode 59: Hocus Pocus (1993)

We're back! A Podcast's Story. Join us for this sort of grab bag episode to hear Laura & Andrew's in-depth review of the Frozen Musical they were lucky enough to catch in Denver for its Broadway preview. We also talk about all the things we are excited to eat at Food & Wine this year as we go through the list of kiosks and menus with our trip coming up in just a few weeks. @disphilharpod @disneyphilharpodcast

Episode 58: Food, Wine, & Frozen: The Musical

This episode is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction...and yes...it calls for the Tower of Terror introduction because we mostly decided (spoiler alert!) one of our favorite queues on property is the Tower of Terror queue. In this episode we just talk queues, no big deal. The good, the bad, the germy, and the sweaty! Because this episode is brought to you by the letter 'Q', we also do a fun quiz game in which we put Laura and Andrew in a lightning round style of Disney Trivia with Price is Right rules and New Years Eve party favors. Note: in usual fashion, we could not resist quoting A League of their Own or mentioning The Shaggy Dog Starring Tim Allen. @disneyphilharpod @disphilharpod

Episode 57: Queue's and Q's

How-to people! We've got backstage passes for you this episode and Sal-we're gonna need a bigger car. This episode is full of Aerosmith tunes, a look into the Mickey Monitor and this year's Food & Wine offerings, the obligatory sidetracks, "hot tips", and roundups bursting at the seams! So, put on those recording studio headphones, grab your black Les Paul, throw up a good shocker, and if traffic's bugging you--step on it!! Andrew has a new segment, guys! @disphilharpod @disneyphilharpodcast

Episode 56: Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith

Join us as we learn about the making of and the magic behind this true masterpiece, Bambi. This episode features one mid-level swear word, plenty of tangents, real weird side stories, and a roundup which goes OFF THE RAILS more than one time! Don't expect we got through an episode without mentioning The Shaggy Dog starring Tim Allen. Meet you guys at Blockbuster Video. @disneyphilharpodcast @disphilharpod

Episode 55: Bambi (1942)

Welcome to Disney Philharpodcast. We’re now entering one of the real wonders of our world: Space Mountain. Blast off on a high-speed outer space adventure, and careen through the cosmos! There'll be movie quotes and songs, horror stories from working Epcot Strollers, we're talking: ALISON'S FAVORITE RIDE, and even more attempts to hand out individually wrapped Swedish Fish at the end of rides. Also: why doesn't Chips Ahoy already sponsor this attraction?? @disneyphilharpodcast @disphilharpod P.S. If you love Troop Beverly Hills, stick around after we say "Bye" for a tangent we had to cut out :)

Episode 54: Space Mountain

Well, not much to say here except: it's a show about nothing! We have a few news stories to discuss and about three roundups (most of which really go WAY off the rails). Basically, if you like Nic Cage, Swedish Fish, you pronounce Mario as "Marry-O", then we think you will really like this episode. Just imagine being dropped in the middle of a bizarre conversation between three weirdos--yes, so, just like any other episode. @disphilharpod @disneyphilharpodcast

Episode 53: Show About Nothing Vol. 2

Ladies and Gentlemen, come with us to a world of joyous songs and wondrous miracles—Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room. Our siestas are getting are getting chorter and chorter. But not our episodes...those are getting longer and longer! Come join us for a Touch of Mark, even more attempts at 90's movie quotes, (it's kind of our thing, now) some luxurious plumage, a Grade A Beef with Under New Management and more tiki and bird puns than you might expect. During this episode, our ‘ohana shares laughter, stories, memories of some of our dead pets, Co-Ed Naked Tiki-ing, and we try to remember the words to the junkyard song from The Brave Little Toaster (I was in the Indy 500). And nothing brings out some of our favorite childhood memories like the purple smooze from the My Little Pony movie! So from our ‘ohana to yours, we invite you to enjoy this episode of the Philharpodcast with all our greatest hits: Hacienda Colorado, Almond Joy's Got Nuts, "Like a Dolllllls Eye", and of course we can't forget: "He Ain't Closing ME DOWN!" Aloha! @disneyphilharpodcast @disphilharpod

Episode 52: Enchanted Tiki Room

A Disney World podcast by three Disney-obsessed former Cast Members learning the facts they should already know about the most magical place on Earth!
