27: Animated Films in the Parks: The 1950s

Leave a comment

As we continue our series on Disney’s animated films and their presence in the parks, this week we focus on the films of the 1950s. From towering castles to spinning teacups to flying ships, we discuss what films like Cinderella and Lady and the Tramp brought to the Disney parks.

In another Mad Chatter game, we put our listening skills to the test as we try to guess the attraction based on a single line of dialogue. Plus, Jeremy and Matt report on their recent visits to Animal Kingdom and the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival.

We recommend that you eat before listening to this episode of The Mad Chatters Podcast, or at least have a snack on hand. This week we each list five food items from the Disney parks that lingered in our minds and on our hearts long after we finished them. From savory entrées to sweet treats, we talk about the foods we can’t wait to eat again.

24: One and Done – Disney Attractions We Probably Won’t Experience Again

Leave a comment

Whether because they made us sick, bored us to tears, or left us asking, “Why?” there are some Disney experiences we are perfectly content to never have again. This week we list the foods, rides, shows, and more that best fit the category “One and Done.”

In a new segment called “You Be the Judge,” we go head to head in Disney debates while the third Chatter chooses a winner. Plus, we unburden ourselves with some 11-Second Rants. It all happens on episode 24 of The Mad Chatters Podcast!

23: Animated Films in the Parks: 1937-1949

Leave a comment

One of the charms of Walt Disney World is its ability to bring the Disney animated films to life right before your eyes. This week we focus on the films of the 1930s and 40s and talk about their representation (or lack thereof) in the four parks. We discuss the surprising number of nods to The Three Caballeros, as well as the disappointing lack of Bambi references.

We also chat about the many exciting changes going on at Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom, plus the beginning of the Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot.

In another Mad Chatter game, Matt and Derek go head to head in “Magic Kingdom By the Numbers.” All this and more can be heard on episode 23 of The Mad Chatters Podcast.
