Tiana's Bayou Adventure officially opened on June 28, 2024 at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World and is scheduled to open later in 2024 at Disneyland. Replacing Splash Mountain, Tiana's Bayou Adventure offers the same ride layout and system with an entirely reimagined storyline. Complete with incredible details from The Princess and the Frog, New Orleans culture, and the story of Leah Chase (the real-life inspiration for Princess Tiana), Tiana's Bayou Adventure provides a depth that takes Walt Disney Imagineering to new heights. Between the animatronics, original music, and special effects, along with the same famous 50-foot plunge as its predecessor, Tiana's Bayou Adventure offers joyful moments and iconic thrills for the entire family. In this episode, I'm joined by Nick (The Theme Park Dad) to discuss our thoughts about riding Tiana's Bayou Adventure as well as the Imagineering details and storyline that make the attraction an incredible addition to Magic Kingdom (and Disneyland).

1900 Park Fare recently reopened at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and I returned with my family to enjoy the new experience. While some elements of this Walt Disney World restaurant remain the same (Big Bertha as a centerpiece and the return of the famous strawberry soup), the venue takes on a new theme of "wish fulfillment" and some new characters to help guests cast their wishes, including Tiana (in her Tiana's Bayou Adventure attire), Cinderella, Snow White, Mirabel, and Aladdin (as Prince Ali). In this episode, enjoy our live dining review at 1900 Park Fare, where we discuss the food, chat about the theme and atmosphere, and converse with some favorite Disney characters.

Disney's Hollywood Studios turns 35 at Walt Disney World this May, opening as Disney-MGM Studios in 1989. Over its 35-year history, the park has undergone a large evolution, so extensive that its five opening day attractions (including the Great Movie Ride and Backlot Studio Tour) are all no longer a part of the park. Nevertheless, this is a park that Disney fans of all ages adore, and it's full of interesting history and incredible Imagineering details worth discussing. In this episode, I'm joined by Tim Moore from WDW Magazine to discuss some of our favorite Imagineering stories and personal anecdotes about Disney's Hollywood Studios. Plus, sure to take advantage of a special promo code just for listeners. Promo code SKYWAY gets you 15% off the shop at wdwmagazine.com. (Although I am a writer/contributor to WDW Magazine, this promo code is not a part of any sponsorship deal, nor did WDW Magazine sponsor this episode.

Disneyland is not only the first Disney Park created around the world. It's also the only Disney Park that Walt Disney personally visited. Walt Disney helped to develop so many specific elements of Disneyland, many of which are still visible today, and there are countless stories that describe how Walt helped to create and transform "the happiest place on earth." In this two-part episode, I chat with Kelly Washington of Slice of Disney and Philander Butler to share some of our favorite stories about Walt Disney at Disneyland.
