  • Everyone is covering D23 from August of 2024. It's been done. We are above such low hanging fruit.
    Who are we kidding? Low hanging fruit is the easiest to pick, that's where that phrase comes from. Being the show we are, we discuss the D23 expo and all the domestic parks announcements but we decide which resort won D23 and all the announcements.

  •  OK people. We are almost complete with our comparison of the Hollywood themed lands. We just have to cover the Disney Jr live on stage without violating certain hosts "restraining orders" We'll get there..
     
    In the meantime, here is an episode about the shops in each of these lands.
     
    Jimmy and Erik argue with Dan as to which is the supreme shopping experience. Dan is a Disneyland homer, you'll never guess which wins!!

  • We are close to finishing up our comparison of the Supreme Hollywood themed lands at either Disney California Adventure or Disney Hollywood Studios (MGM).

  • We begin this episode as a sequel of sorts from a recent episode of The Hub Crawl Podcast. Jimmy and his sons Alex and Paxton discuss their recent trip to Disneyland and overcoming fears of new attractions.

    We finish by covering the Frontierland shootin' arcades and other similar attractions in the parks past.

    Because the Magic Kingdom version is about to become a DVC lounge, will it reign supreme? Or is it better as a arcade game?

  • What does VIP mean to you? It means Very Interesting Podcast as far as we are concerned. We had some incredible opportunities over the last few months. Dan, Erik, and Jimmy enjoyed the Disneyland Railroad Guided Tour last week. Within the past few months, Dan and Erik have both taken the Walt's Main Street Story guided tour and Erik alone (with nine other people) spent a whole day with a VIP tour guide.
    We delve into these experiences in our latest episode. We hope you enjoy our antics. We will revisit the Walt Disney World tours at a later date when we have had more time to explore!
    Oh, and we got silhouettes cut on Main Street.

  • We're back! Again, for the first time, for the last time.

    As The Supreme Resort Podcast evolves, we expand our discussion to the differences between Disneyland and Walt Disney World beyond the major rides, shows and attractions. In this episode, we also speculate on Disneyland Forward and share more about our personal lives than you never knew and never really cared about.

    Thank you listener for sticking with us through our continued evolution. To paraphrase Walt Disney: The Supreme resort will never be complete. It will always be in a state of becoming. It will change and grow and evolve as long as there is imagination left in the hosts scattered brains.

    Enjoy this departure from our norm. More Vs episodes to come

  • By no means the final words on the subject, we delve into the impressions of Producer David following his first-ever visit to Walt Disney World! You met David on our recent runDisney episodes and it's time to hear the dish on which resort is better.
    According to David, that is.
    We have some great discussion on the experience of visiting the Eastern parks for the first time in terms of prep, cost, and scale. Then we all argue over how wrong David is about which attractions are best. Come on, David. Who has a show about which thing is best? Us.

  • This episode, Erik continues his interview with Mike and David following their 10-Mile race! Having established the history of these events in the last episode, we move on to why in the world anybody would bother to run long distances in Disney Parks.
    We had a great time commiserating over the events of the past few days. We discuss swag, routes, themes, and our own experiences in the recent race. It may be a bit before we heal up, but you better believe these three will reconvene in the future for more magical running days!

  • The time has come! TSR All-Star Tage Bushman joins us once again to help us solve the riddle we largely made up for ourselves: which is the supreme single rider line in the Disney Resorts?
    Which will win? A slot car racing attraction? A fancy video game? Some sort of Yeti-focused experience? Most importantly, how angry will Dan get at Tage's final decision?
    Come along with us as we explore these extremely vital issues.

  • It's that time of year again! Because we can't say March Madness because we will get sued...wait....'
    Anyway, it is the time of year where we create the brackets and decide the best thing in all the 4 parks or some variation of that theme.

    This year, what is the best single rider line in the domestic parks? The intent of this episode was to break down all the single rider lines and get to a top 16 so we could debate for the final episode in March with a special guest host from DL Weekly Podcast, Tage. However, upon further investigation, Disney did it for us because while there are officially 9 at Disneyland, there are only 4 at Walt Disney word.

    So, while we also discuss other items I.e. price of the parks, general hot takes etc, we land on the elite 8 and determine the brackets for this year's challenge.

    I swear we are not becoming haters on the parks, Jimmy just posed the "is it too expensive" question and like the rest of the arguments of this show, it just depends.

  • Magic Happens returns to Disneyland and Festival of Fantasy never really left the Magic Kingdom. Join as we litigate the two parades you can experience on a daily basis at each Kingdom park.
    Which will win? The seasoned veteran with classic music and characters seen by millions? The upstart with new music written by an internet star? You'll have to tune in for all the song excerpts, all the analysis, all the ambivalence. Also, I think Dan has a new obsession.
    We had a fun time recording After Hours on this one as well. To have a listen, join us on Patreon at https://patreon.com/earzup

  • It's fancy restaurant versus also fancy restaurant! As we descend further toward deciding which Hollywood tribute land is the best, we have to talk about signature restaurants.
    Which is better? The Hollywood Brown Derby has a neon sign and is a replica of a real place. The Carthay Circle Restaurant is a food place crammed into what should be a replica of a theater. It's going to be closer than you think.
    Check in with your pals who labored extensively (one of them) over this decision. We apologize just a but, but the real show doesn't start until 30 minutes in. So skip there if you don't want to listen to mail.
    I am not sure if anybody reads these because I know I rarely do.
    Have a swell February, folks.

  • Finally, we address the restaurants in Fantasyland. Which is better? Red Rose Tavern, the new kid on the block, or the Pinocchio Village Haus? We debate. We come to a conclusion. This is kind of how things go here.

  • Mickey's Philharmagic! How dare Disney say Mickey isn't in an attraction?
    Enjoy a maybe-brief review of the history of the land on which these theater attractions currently exist. Dan gets defensive. Erik starts talking about another list of voice actors. Jimmy forms his own opinions. You know how the show works.
    Anyway, we're looking at the two renditions of Mickey's Philharmagic in DCA and the Magic Kingdom. Which is better? Are we working toward some conclusion to the Hollywood streets at some point? Is one of our sponsors racist?
    Only you can solve this mystery, listener!
