A Great Big Beautiful D23 - GEEKS CORNER #824
Jul 14, 2026
Welcome back to Geeks Corner! With D23—The Ultimate Disney Fan Event—just a month away, Mr. Daps and Caitie Bear dive deep into the massive programming announcement to discuss the panels, concerts, and showcases they are most excited for this August.
Here is what you can look forward to in this week's episode:
Episode Highlights
* D23 History & Badges
* CHOC Walk 2026 Countdown
* Caption of the Week
* D23 Convention Center Panel Highlights: The duo breaks down the incredibly packed schedule of events taking over the Anaheim Convention Center:
* Walt Disney's Humor: Tim O'Day is hosting "Great Moments with Walt Disney," which promises rarely or never-before-seen historical video clips.
* Disney Dreamlight Valley: Caitie Bear is thrilled to see what the popular game has in store for 2026.
* Concerts and Showcases: The lineup features a Michael Giacchino film scoring showcase, an Alan Menken concert, a celebration of the 35th anniversary of Beauty and the Beast, and the return of the fast-paced Disney Rewind concert.
* Leslie Iwerks Documentary: The team is highly anticipating the filmmaker's next feature-length documentary, recalling how phenomenal Disneyland Handcrafted was.
* The Disney Experiences Auction: While live-streamed auctions stress Caitie Bear out, she admits she would enter a bidding war if it meant getting her hands on an official Disney theme park trash can for her dad!
* Lego Star Wars Screenings: After reviewing the upcoming LEGO projects, the hosts realize they have somehow never played LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga together, despite Caitie having the entire game on her Nintendo Switch.
* Nat Geo & Photography: Mr. Daps highlights "Capturing the Wonder of Nature," keeping his fingers crossed for real-world nature photography insights.
* Honda Center History & Predictions: Looking ahead to the showcase at the Honda Center, the hosts chat about Josh D'Amaro's transition to his new role and reminisce about the top five moments in D23 history. High points include Bob Iger's legendary 2015 announcement of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge ("We're building two!") and the hilarious confusion surrounding the 2019 Target Dog appearance.
* Horizons Showcase Hosted by Neil Patrick Harris: The ultimate Disney fan, Neil Patrick Harris, will be hosting the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase. The event is inspired by Carousel of Progress (currently closed for its chronological updates of the '60s, '80s, New Millennium, and future). The hosts predict a spectacular, high-energy musical opening featuring "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" and look forward to detailed updates on Disney's major projects, including Coco, Pandora, Avengers Campus, Encanto, Indiana Jones, new cruise ships, and Villains Land.

Welcome to Geeks Corner. I'm Mr. Daps.
0:19
>> I'm Katie.
0:20
>> And did you know that the first D23 Expo
0:22
began on September 10th, 2009?
0:27
>> Wow. I did know that actually.
0:29
>> Did you know the exact date too?
0:30
>> No, I didn't know the exact date. I knew
0:32

0:33
>> Okay.
0:33

0:40
>> Yep. And DC covered for us.
0:42
>> I do. I also know that.
0:44
>> That's right. Uh we have been covering
0:46
every D23 Expo and now D23 the Ultimate
0:48
Disney fan event since they started. And
0:50
hopefully we will be doing the same this
0:52
year. I'm sure we will. And uh but
0:54
before we get into all that, what should
0:56
people do, Katie?
0:57
>> You should join us here in the chat. Are

you know how some of it worked. Uh but
1:24
if you go into the comments, we have a
1:25
section at the end that we call comments
1:27
comments. Um you should also subscribe
1:30

1:33
cell for what we do here at GeeksCorner,
1:35
I sure don't know what is.
1:36

1:45
special little community over there that
1:46

2:07
August 2nd in the morning. It'll be
2:09
great. We'll get there at 4:00 a.m. be

2:16
of fun doing it. So, head on over to
2:17
chalkwalk.org/dapsmagic.
2:19
It's going to be a blast and we'll have
2:22
a lot of fun and make a very positive
2:24
difference at the same time, which is a
2:26
double win.
2:28
All right, speaking of wins, I feel like
2:32
D23
2:33
Well, we have one more thing actually,
2:35
don't we? We had a winner this last
2:37
week.
2:38
>> One more thing.
2:39
>> One more thing. Roger was our caption of
2:41
the week winner last week and we have a
2:43
new caption of the week. This is the
2:45
photo.
2:46
>> Oh, that's good.
2:47
>> I think it's fun. Uh, it is from the Mad
2:50
Tea Party back in the day about 10 to 12
2:52
years ago,
2:53
>> depending on which year this picture was
2:55
from. I can't remember now.
2:56
>> It doesn't look like it's the Diamond
2:57
Celebration.
2:58
>> Um, I don't remember to be completely
3:00
honest. Um, but yes, uh, we will we will
3:07
encourage you to head on over to this.
3:09
Um, you can do it from the homepage on
3:11
DPS Magic. Click on the caption of the
3:13
week link and leave your caption for
3:15
this photo for this week and then go
3:17
back and vote later and you could win.
3:19
>> I've already put my caption in.
3:21
>> You did? You can do more than one
3:22
caption if you want.
3:23
>> Well, sometimes I'm not very creative.
3:25
So, sometimes like if I look at a photo
3:28
and inspiration strikes, I just have to
3:30
run with it. Okay,
3:31
>> I just have to.
3:32
>> And it did.
3:33
>> It did. It did indeed. So, I already
3:35
captioned or I already put my caption.
3:38
>> Good job.
3:39
>> So, you guys should think I did, too.
3:40
>> All go vote for how funny you think I am
3:42
because if you don't vote for my
3:44
comments, it means you don't think I'm
3:45
funny
3:46
>> and we can't have that. I'm a very funny
3:49
person.
3:50
>> There we go.
3:50
>> Or try to one up me, but you can't.
3:54
>> There you go. There you go. All right.
3:56
Well, today we got a ton of news from
4:00
D23. A lot of it surrounding the
4:02
programming that will be offered in
4:05
August, a month from today, when D23
4:08
begins. It will be a jam-packed weekend
4:10
full of fun, of music, of mayhem, its
4:13
Muppets, of Disney experiences, you name
4:15
it. Uh there will be plenty to talk
4:18
about and to cover. Before we get into
4:20
all of it, and we'll save the Muppets
4:22
for its own thing, cuz I just think
4:24
that's fair. There's some good Muppet
4:26
stuff.
4:26
>> I have a Muppet B. I have two Muppet bow
4:28
ties. So, of course, actually more if
4:30
you only have two.
4:31
>> I think I have four or five actually.
4:33
Um,
4:34
anyway,
4:36
from the list of panels at the Anaheim
4:39
Convention Center,
4:41
>> what are you most looking forward to?
4:42
It's like, well, the only place I can
4:44
go. Um, I'm really excited about there
4:47
is a panel with um Tim OD
4:50
>> and it's like about the humor of Walt
4:52
Disney and it's like um what is it
4:55
called? Great moments with Walt Disney I
4:56
think is what it's called. Excellent
4:58
name for a panel. Um but it has some
5:01
more unseen or rarelyseen videos of Walt
5:05
Disney. Um, I'm very excited about that.
5:08
And I'm also very excited,
5:10
unsurprisingly,
5:11
for the Disney Dreamlight Valley stuff
5:14
>> because I love Disney Dream Live Valley.
5:16
So, I'm like I would like to know about
5:18
what's coming to the game in 2026.
5:20
>> There you go.
5:21
>> Even though we're like
5:24
>> I mean there's still like there's been
5:25
stuff coming out fairly frequently. Uh,
5:28
I get sent it all the time. But, uh,
5:29
yeah, it it really is
5:32
>> crazy how much stuff
5:34
>> there is. Whether there's the uh
5:37
learning how Michael Jakino scores
5:40
congratulations by the way
5:42
>> a movie and I'm assuming you'll hear the
5:44
music for that too. There's the uh the
5:46
Alan Meen concert. There's the
5:49
>> uh 35th anniversary of Beauty and the
5:51
Beast. There's
5:52
>> um the Disney Rewind concert which I
5:55
think they did last time if I remember
5:56
correctly.
5:57
>> I forgot a big one.
5:58
>> Oh, which
5:59
>> 20th anniversary of Enchanted.
6:01
>> That one looks good too with Nina West.
6:03
Um, yeah. I think that one will be
6:05
probably very fun.
6:06
>> So good.
6:07
>> The thing I thought was interesting
6:08
about that is they they said it was
6:10
going to be a fastpaced.
6:12
>> I'm like, what does that mean? Like
6:15
>> I don't know, like
6:17
whatever. Um, the other one I'm very
6:19
interested in is the new featurelength
6:22
documentary from Leslie Eyeworks. Oh,
6:24
yeah.
6:24
>> Because anything she does is incredible.
6:26
Correct.
6:27
>> And um,
6:28
>> you know, I would like to see that. And
6:31
if I also got to see the screening of
6:34
that while there, double win. Um,
6:37
Disneyland handcrafted I think was
6:38
absolutely phenomenal and worth watching
6:40
again and again and again. And you pick
6:43
stuff up each time. It's whether it's
6:45
quotes or moments that you didn't see in
6:47
the background or whatever. Like there
6:49
is so much to to uh find and to enjoy in
6:52
that. So I'm assuming the same will be
6:54
in the next one. Um, I think it's also
6:56
going to be interesting the Disney
6:57
Experiences auction, which I think is
6:59
going to be insane. I can't wait to
7:01
watch from afar.
7:03
>> Yeah,
7:03
>> when there's like live streams and stuff
7:05
of Disney auctions, I really like to
7:07
watch. I don't want to be in it cuz that
7:11
scares me. Unless
7:13
>> unless
7:15
there was a way that I could get a
7:17
official Disney trash can for my father
7:21
cuz I am so dedicated. I don't even know
7:24
if my dad is watching this or not.
7:25
>> I don't You might be able to do it
7:27
online though.
7:28
Well, yes,
7:29
>> because they did. There was a link for
7:31
like all of that stuff. So, it could be
7:33
that you could just
7:34
>> But I don't want to get into a bidding
7:35
war with another person.
7:36
>> No, I met your dad would.
7:37
>> Oh, well, my dad [laughter] My dad would
7:40
get
7:41
>> I don't know.
7:42
>> It's been known to happen.
7:43
>> Maybe maybe nobody else will want it.
7:45
Um, I think it'll also be fun. There's a
7:47
new Lego Star Wars uh something coming
7:50
and so we're going to get the screening
7:51
of that which Lego Star Wars.
7:53
>> I think anything Lego Star Wars is
7:55
fantastic. whether it's video games,
7:57
whether it's Lego sets, whether it's
7:59
it's the shows. Like, I think their
8:01
programs have been fantastic. Um, I
8:04
think their the video games though are
8:06
some of my favorite video games. They're
8:08
so good.
8:08
>> Like, you can do co-op mode pretty often
8:10
with them. They're they're insane.
8:12
>> I just realized we've never played Lego
8:14
Star Wars together.
8:15
>> No,
8:16
>> I have the entire Skywalker Saga on my
8:18
Switch.
8:19
>> I've played it.
8:21
>> Let's go right now.
8:22
>> Well, we have a show, but you know. Um,
8:24
and then there's also the 10th
8:25
anniversary of Zootopia,
8:27
>> which I think will be fun. And
8:28
>> so, we're getting a live action.
8:31
>> I I hope not.
8:33
>> Um, there's also one that jumped out to
8:36
me and I don't know that it'll have
8:37
photography, but I kind of hope it does.
8:40
And that would be the Disney and Gio
8:43
capturing the wonder of nature
8:45
>> because I think that could be very fun
8:48
if that's, you know, capturing and
8:50
taking photos and video like and they're
8:52
getting into that. Yeah,
8:53
>> if it's more of just like a slideshow of
8:56
like, oh, and then we saw this bear over
8:58
[laughter] here and and here's a fish
9:00
and then I'm not so into that. But I I
9:03
that's one I'm curious about, too. And
9:05
um I think it'll also be interesting,
9:07
too, is I'm noticing there is a lot of
9:10
leaning into Spider-Man in the Marvel
9:12
panels,
9:14
>> which makes sense because it's a big
9:15
anniversary this year. But part of me is
9:18
also like, you have this big Doomsday
9:20
movie coming out, too. Aren't you going
9:22
to? And that might be something that
9:24
happens on or in the Honda Center thing,
9:28
too.
9:29
>> Um, we also did get news about the Honda
9:31
Center uh events, which I think is going
9:33
to be a blast. We didn't get a whole lot
9:35
about what the entertainment showcase is
9:37
going to be.
9:37
>> Yeah.
9:38
>> Because it's pretty straightforward, I
9:40
feel like. I am curious if they're gonna
9:42
have like is that where Josh Dearo is
9:45
gonna like is he gonna be the host or
9:47
the
9:47
>> because
9:49
>> because
9:50
>> flip the script a little bit.
9:52
>> Yeah, things are things are continuing
9:53
to change since uh Josh has a new job.
9:56
>> Um he's no longer running Disney
9:58
Experiences. So it wouldn't make sense
10:00
for him to do that panel. Even though if
10:03
you think about it in the past there was
10:05
a time when the CEO would do the parks
10:07
panel.
10:09
And then 2015 I think it was came along
10:11
and that's when Bob Chapek started doing
10:12
it as the chairman of of Disney parks.
10:15
But yes, that is where we got the not
10:17
one but two.
10:18
>> I was like was that the 2013 or 2015
10:21
expo?
10:21
>> I think Bob Iger announced it in the
10:24
2015 but that was also the year that Bob
10:26
Cheek started stepping in more. Yes, I
10:28
do.
10:29
>> Um, so it was kind of one of those weird
10:32
like figuring it out transitional
10:34
things.
10:34
>> But like imagine if we never had Bob
10:35
Iger going and we're not just going to
10:37
build one of these.
10:39
>> We're building two. Like that's one of
10:41
the most I am so sorry to like if we
10:44
were to go
10:45
>> if top five moments of D23 expose
10:48
>> if we were to go 15 years of D23 expose
10:50
or D23 the Ultimate Disney fan event, we
10:52
just combine that into one. We did
10:54
>> even destination D23.
10:55
>> Yeah. If we did a top 10 list,
10:57
[clears throat] I would argue if we did
10:58
a top five list,
11:01
>> the Galaxy's Edge announcement of we're
11:03
not just building one and then like the
11:06
silence and then the we're building two
11:09
and people went nuts like that is that
11:15
um and then of my personal favorite and
11:17
I might get more into this in Daps After
11:19
Dark. Um, my other personal favorite
11:21
would be the time that the um, Target
11:23
Dog came out. Mainly because none of us
11:25
understood.
11:27
>> Was that the same one or was that two
11:28
years later?
11:29
>> That was 2019.
11:31
>> Oh, okay. Four years later.
11:32
>> Uh, because you and I were texting from
11:34
that panel and I was at the center
11:35
stage.
11:36
>> Oh, that was the Porto's announcement,
11:37
too.
11:39
>> Whoa, what a year. Yeah,
11:41
>> but you and I both at the same time went
11:42
target question mark question mark.
11:44
>> Which I don't know that that ever came
11:47
out the way that we thought. like it was
11:49
supposed to be Disney Store in Target
11:51
and I don't know that I ever personally
11:53
saw that come to fruition in the same
11:55
way that that I imagined it in the
11:57
moment. It could be. I just didn't I
11:59
didn't understand.
12:00
>> But um
12:01
>> anyway, we'll get more into it in
12:02
>> definitely. [clears throat] Huge
12:03
moments. Uh maybe maybe we'll start
12:05
maybe we'll save top five moments till
12:07
after D23 this this year. I don't know.
12:10
>> I just want to
12:12
um Neil Patrick Harris will be coming to
12:16
host Horizon's
12:19
Disney Experiences Showcase. And this
12:22
what's great about this one is it will
12:25
be inspired by Carousel of Progress,
12:28
which as you know is maybe you don't uh
12:31
is closed currently and being renovated
12:34
with 60s80s new millennium and in a
12:37
possible future. I'm amazed I remembered
12:39
all that. Um
12:40
>> incredible work. [laughter]
12:41
>> I did write it earlier today, but um
12:46
>> I think this is brilliant. Mhm.
12:48
>> Like he's a big Disney fan. He's been in
12:50
stuff like
12:52
Disney parades to candlelight to lending
12:56
his voice to things to like he does
12:59
everything. And I think
13:02
>> head back, face forward, and hang on.
13:04
>> Yes. And I think my first thought was
13:08
like, "Oh, I can't wait to see the big
13:09
song and dance number it opens with
13:11
>> because there has to be."
13:13
>> Yes.
13:13
>> Neil Patrick Harris. When I think of
13:15
Neil Patrick Harris, I think of um
13:17
Nothing Suits Me Like a Suit from How I
13:18
Met Your Mother, which I think is one of
13:20
the best uh sitcom musicals um period.
13:25
And then two, I think of the Tony's
13:27
opening number. I think that was 2013
13:30
um where he like has this like first of
13:33
all, it's the only time the performance
13:35
ever went right. Don't get me started on
13:36
that performance. I will go crazy. But
13:38
he like delivers this towards the end
13:39
where he's like, "Uh, there's a kid at
13:41
home that is watching the flipping and
13:43
dancing thinking, um, I want to be that
13:46
kid." But here's the secret. We were
13:48
that kid. And like that is one of the
13:50
most beautiful like he has a way.
13:53
>> It's a muppet moment. Um,
13:54
>> but he has a way of encapsulating that
13:56
excitement. And so I think he's a
13:58
perfect
13:58
>> I think he's going to be great. And I do
14:00
think he is going to at least do There's
14:02
a great big beautiful tomorrow as a part
14:04
of that song and dance. Like I think
14:06
that's what it opens with if if I were
14:08
guessing. And I envision him, we'll see
14:10
if I'm even close, walking out as
14:13
father.
14:14
>> Yeah.
14:14
>> And then the crazy thing is if they also
14:16
announce that he is the new father. I
14:18
don't know that his voice is the same.
14:20
But
14:20
>> hottest Fourth of July we've had in
14:22
years.
14:22
>> Whatever it is in the 60s though,
14:24
because they're going to be what?
14:24
Waiting for the the moonlanding.
14:26
>> Craziest moon landing we've seen.
14:27
[laughter]
14:28
>> Yes. Can you believe it? They just Yeah.
14:31
Um, but I could personalitywise I could
14:35
see it. And uh it it'll be interesting
14:38
to see what we get out of this too, just
14:41
because we had so many huge things
14:43
announced two years ago. And I feel like
14:46
we were huge [snorts] on big picture,
14:49
maybe lighter on details. And I almost
14:51
feel like this might be a swap this time
14:53
where we get more details about Coco,
14:55
about Pandora, about Avengers Campus,
14:58
about Encanto, about Indiana Jones,
15:02
about new Disney ships. Uh like there's
15:04
a lot of stuff that we know is in the
15:07
works and we just don't know. Piston
15:09
Peak, Villains Land, like there's so
15:11
many things like Villains Land. I feel
15:12
like there has to be a huge update for
15:13
>> has to be.
15:14
>> And uh so there's a lot to look forward
15:17
to in that regard. And um and I'm sure
15:20
there's going to be a couple of things
15:21
that just will come out of left field
15:23
that we're not expecting and and uh
15:25
we'll talk more about that as we get
15:26
closer. But
15:28
>> what's behind Big Thunder Mountain? Nice
15:30
try. What's behind Cinderella Castle?
15:33
>> You never know. All right. Well, what we
15:35
are going to say though is moving right
15:36
along because it's time to
15:39
>> Thanks, Daddy. Thank you, Mr. Daddy.
15:41
Thanks, man.
15:43
>> That is right. It is time to talk about
15:45
Muppets. We haven't been able to use
15:47
that in a while. I'm excited that we got
15:48
to use that again. Uh,
15:50
>> so what do you guys think the Muppet of
15:51
the Week is?
15:52
>> Uh, no. We are getting a new Muppet
15:55
album.
15:56
>> Mhm.
15:57
>> Seth McFarland.
15:58
>> I was going to say Seth McFarland is
15:59
making
16:00
>> a Yeah. [laughter]
16:02
Uh, he's making an orchestral Muppet
16:05
album. And when I read that, because
16:07
it's very light on details.
16:10
So, the way I see it is he's doing
16:12
another jazz album
16:13
>> where he's doing duets with Muppets.
16:16
>> Don't you think? I hope so.
16:18
>> Or is it just going to be him doing
16:19
Muppet songs?
16:20
>> I think he's gonna be because
16:22
>> Or it could be both.
16:23
>> Seth McFarland, one is a very talented
16:27
jazz singer. Um he is a beautiful,
16:29
beautiful jazz voice. Um it's actually
16:32
one of those things where you hear it
16:33
and you're like, "Oh, he does it as a
16:35
bit." No, he's incredible.
16:36
>> I think he was in the Christmas, was it
16:39
Disney Christmas last year or two years?
16:40
>> Oh, was he
16:41
>> recently? He's saying, "Yeah,
16:42
>> but um he also performs with Liz
16:45
Gillies. are incredible, but um
16:50
he also loves obviously for what people
16:52
know him for, he loves a bit. And I
16:55
don't think he's going to miss the
16:56
opportunity to combine his incredible
16:58
talent with Oh my god, I get to perform
17:01
at the Muppets. Like,
17:03
>> and I dare say this is going to be one
17:05
of the best panels, period.
17:08
>> I need to be in this room. Like I think
17:10
I think this one will be the one that
17:12
everybody that is there will not stop
17:15
talking about afterwards. Um
17:19
yeah I I I do wonder like what is what
17:22
is the one song you would like to hear
17:24
him sing that's a Muppet song and with
17:26
which Muppet?
17:27
>> It's not easy being green with Kermit.
17:29
Easy.
17:30
>> I mean well yes
17:31
>> like
17:32
>> Okay. Um mainly just because I feel like
17:35
that uh lends itself very well. I feel
17:38
like anything else I would love.
17:39
>> I think Rainbow Connection would work
17:40
really well, too.
17:41
>> Yes.
17:44
>> Yeah. Um, we also learned that there's
17:47
the new Muppet Studio collection coming
17:49
to Mickey's of Glendale, which also
17:52
looks fantastic. I will admit I liked
17:55
the uh the jean jacket with all of the
17:57
>> It's really
17:58
>> Can you It looks like they just took my
18:00
bow tie and made it into patches that
18:02
you could put on a black I'm assuming it
18:05
was just the black one cuz that's in the
18:06
pictures.
18:07
>> Something people may not know about Mr.
18:09
Daps. He's a big jean jacket guy. Loves
18:12
a jean jacket. We have like the Mickey
18:14
Mouse jean jacket.
18:15
>> Two Mickey Mouse jean jackets.
18:17
>> We got two Mickey Mouse, not just one.
18:21
But uh so I saw that and I immediately
18:23
was like, "Oh, this is so dapscoded.
18:25
It's insane."
18:27
>> Uh hope that something better comes
18:28
along with Ralph. Love that. Yeah.
18:30
>> Genius.
18:31
>> Um I hope that he does a song with at
18:34
least some members of the Electric
18:36
Mayhem.
18:37
>> He has to.
18:37
>> Um I think there could be a lot of fun
18:39
with that, too. And I don't know. More
18:42
Muppets is always a win.
18:44
>> I I think that was
18:45
>> Take more Muppets.
18:45
>> Exactly. All right. Also, the Bean Bunny
18:50
and Rizzo shirts
18:53
>> are an absolute
18:54
>> What song do you think he's gonna do
18:55
with Gonzo?
18:57
>> With Gonzo.
18:58
>> Mhm.
18:58
>> Um
18:59
>> Oh,
19:01
the one from Muppet Movie. This looks
19:05
familiar.
19:05
>> Oh, vaguely familiar. Yeah.
19:07
>> Um
19:09
>> Oh my gosh, that would be heartbreaking.
19:11
>> That'd be beautiful. I I would
19:12
>> um pictures in my head also would be
19:14
devastating. Um, no. I was saying that
19:16
Muppet Collection that it's one of those
19:17
things that we know is that every um
19:20
D23, the Ultimate Disney fan event or
19:22
D23 Expo, we will be dropping money for
19:27
Muppets things because Muppets things
19:29
>> and you need to to encourage them to do
19:31
more.
19:32
>> But I'm like, this is some good Muppet
19:35
stuff. I'm so excited.
19:36
>> Yeah, it'll be very good. All right, now
19:38
it is time to play a game.
19:39
>> I love games. Katie was not with me at
19:41
Disneyland on Sunday, which means that
19:43
we get to play [laughter] another game
19:45
of Where is Mr. Daps?
19:54
[music]
20:00
>> It's a really short game.
20:01
>> That is right. It's time for Where's Mr.
20:03
Daps? This time I have added a middle
20:06
clue
20:07
>> because I took I took the feedback to
20:10
heart and um
20:12
>> here at D Magic we listen.
20:14
>> Hopefully this helps. So you ready for
20:15
the first one before we run out of time?
20:16
>> Yes.
20:17
>> All right. First one if I hit it right.
20:20
>> There is our first photo.
20:23
>> Uh I have an idea.
20:26
>> Do you want to wait for people to guess
20:28
in the
20:28
>> Yeah, but I don't want them to think
20:30
that I'm cheating off their answers. So
20:31
I'm not looking. They can't see that I'm
20:33
not looking. we should do is we should
20:34
have had it so you could write it down.
20:36
>> Oh, I can do that. I have a phone.
20:38
>> Why don't you just do it on your phone
20:39
right there and uh we'll look in the
20:41
chat and see if anybody knows where this
20:44
might be.
20:50
And I'm going to wait just a second or
20:51
two more.
20:55
There's a guess. The outside of Earl of
20:57
Sandwich, which I believe was also Yes,
21:00
that is Katie's guess as well. I can now
21:03
confirm that
21:03
>> he's allowed to say that.
21:04
>> Uh can be.
21:06
>> Who's can be?
21:07
>> I don't know. But my parents lived in a
21:09
in a city named Cani. I think before I
21:12
was born.
21:13
>> He might be saying that that's your
21:15
parents house.
21:16
>> So we have I'm I'm going to bet he meant
21:18
the Carnaby, which is also Gordon
21:20
Ramsay's new restaurant. Uh Roger is
21:22
saying the Carnaby, too, which
21:25
I'm going to say is
21:28
correct.
21:30
>> We didn't even need the middle one. Good
21:31
job, guys. Um, so that's a point for
21:34
Bailey, a point for uh Clocky, and a
21:37
point for Roger, because it technically
21:40
is that part of the building, not the
21:43
sandwich. Cuz I did look, they're
21:45
different, slightly different uh
21:48
decorations and stuff like that.
21:50
>> Uh Carnne just opened tonight and uh we
21:54
had friends that went there and they
21:55
said it was great. Um so we'll see.
21:57
We'll see.
21:58
>> I have to try the beef Wellington.
22:00
That's that that is the thing. All
22:03
right, next one. Where is this one from
22:06
everybody? Where is Mr. Daps? This one
22:09
we might need the middle one for.
22:11
>> Oh, I can't even imagine
22:16
[laughter]
22:16
a place where Peter Pan and Doc
22:23
and I can't even see who else is there.
22:25
I Tinkerbell is there. I can't imagine
22:30
um this world where they all exist
22:31
together.
22:32
>> It's a very magical place, isn't it?
22:34
>> Peter Pan also looks a little scary.
22:36
>> You know, Peter Pan kind of is scary if
22:38
you watch the original movie. Like when
22:41
you go back and you look at it, he does
22:43
kind of have that mischievous, slightly
22:46
um slightly angry look to him.
22:50
>> Um Chris says that music box near the
22:53
Royal Theater.
22:55
Do
22:59
>> you have a guess, Katie?
23:00
>> You have no guess. So, no points for
23:02
Katie. Okay.
23:03
>> Uh, The Machine by the Royal. Okay.
23:06
Another guess. Hunchback music. Another
23:09
guess.
23:09
>> I feel like everybody met up to be like,
23:12
"Hey, you know how Katie is not good at
23:14
this game?"
23:15
>> Yeah. We're all done pretending like
23:17
we're not good at this game. We're all
23:19
going to be good at this game now.
23:20
>> Do you want to Do you want to see the
23:21
next level out?
23:22
>> Sure.
23:22
>> Okay. There's the next level out.
23:24
>> Okay. That did not make
23:26
Snow White's there. [laughter]
23:28
Flynn Ryder's there.
23:29
>> Belle is there.
23:31
>> A Belle is there
23:32
>> also near the Okay.
23:35
>> Oh my god, this is a
23:38
>> All right, I'm gonna give Roger a second
23:40
or two more. Um,
23:44
yeah, the book for Peter Pan makes this
23:46
all make sense. All right, I'm gonna
23:49
show hopefully.
23:52
There we go.
23:53
What in the heck?
23:55
>> It's fun when you get in close, isn't
23:56
it?
23:56
>> Yeah. I've never
23:58
>> All right, so I think Chris, Clocky, and
24:01
Bailey all got a point. I hope you're
24:02
all keeping track of how many you had.
24:04
>> I've got a big old fat goose egg.
24:07
>> Next one.
24:11
>> Is this just a picture of me?
24:13
>> No.
24:15
>> No.
24:18
>> Roger gets a point, too.
24:22
Do you know where this is? Any guesses?
24:25
[snorts]
24:27
[laughter]
24:32
>> I have zero guess. My only guess is like
24:35
Jungle Cruise.
24:36
>> Okay, we got to guess for the Jungle
24:38
Cruise.
24:39
>> Yeah,
24:42
you know,
24:44
I didn't even text that to you cuz I
24:46
feel like I'm just so wrong. Um, I will
24:48
admit this time I tried to be a little
24:50
bit more creative and not as tight. Like
24:53
I tried to make it a little easier, but
24:56
um, this one I thought was could go
24:58
either way.
25:01
>> Okay.
25:03
[laughter]
25:03
>> Uh, Roger says Frontier Land. Okay.
25:07
>> Frontier Land.
25:09
>> Uhhuh.
25:10
>> But where
25:11
>> do we have any? So you said Jungle
25:13
Cruise.
25:13
>> I said the Jungle Cruise.
25:14
>> We've got a guess for Frontier Land. I
25:16
could certainly say that
25:17
>> technically is not a a precise enough uh
25:22
answer.
25:22
>> Uh I know you're at Disneyland
25:24
>> near the lockers above Buen a Vista
25:26
Street. There's a good guess. That's a
25:28
that's a good guess.
25:30
>> That's wildly specific.
25:31
>> Mhm. Let's see if Clocky or Bailey have
25:33
any guesses. [snorts]
25:36
>> This is making me like nervous sweat.
25:38
>> I'm sorry.
25:38
>> No, it's okay.
25:40
>> Okay.
25:40
>> Games just make me nervous. Oh,
25:42
>> okay. [snorts]
25:48
Indiana, do you know?
25:49
>> All right, I'm going to back out one
25:50
level for people.
25:51
>> Okay,
25:52
>> hopefully this works.
25:54
Did this help?
25:56
>> No. [laughter]
26:03
Any guesses?
26:04
>> Oh my god.
26:05
>> Are there any guesses of where this
26:07
could be?
26:10
I
26:13
have no idea.
26:14
>> Okay, I'm gonna five. Okay, Bailey
26:18
doesn't know.
26:20
>> It feels like it's a train.
26:21
>> All right, I'm gonna This next shot
26:23
probably will share what it is. Like
26:25
that was the goal was the third one
26:26
would always give away what it is.
26:28
>> Okay.
26:29
>> All right. I don't think anybody got
26:32
this.
26:34
Does anybody know now?
26:37
Chris knows now. [laughter]
26:39
It is not the queue of the Jungle
26:41
Cruise. It is inside the firehouse.
26:45
>> Huh.
26:46
>> This is how many, you know, it's their
26:48
stats for for number of injuries and and
26:50
all of that fun stuff.
26:51
>> Uh yeah, it you know, it is what it is,
26:55
I guess. Um all right,
26:58
next one is right here.
27:02
Pali
27:04
>> Paris, obviously. Oh, obviously.
27:06
>> Yeah.
27:07
>> Does anybody know where this one is?
27:08
>> You're in France.
27:11
Hello,
27:12
guys. I'm really bad at this. Like
27:17
>> this one. I kind of thought you might
27:18
know.
27:21
>> Oh god.
27:25
>> [snorts]
27:26
>> I feel like Bailey Bailey like turned
27:29
the tide on this because apparently I
27:31
was too easy at the beginning and then I
27:33
went too hard and it's it's just one of
27:36
those things.
27:36
>> Then I don't know any of them.
27:38
>> It's okay. Do you want to make a guess?
27:40
>> I can't even think of where there it
27:44
would be appropriate for there to be
27:45
Parisian theming at the Disneyland
27:47
Resort.
27:48
>> Okay. Okay.
27:51
>> I don't even know that I've seen this
27:52
before. Chris,
27:53
>> I'm fairly certain that almost if not
27:56
everybody, I would expect most of us
27:59
have seen this.
28:01
>> Either
28:02
>> I know it's not Sonoma Terrace.
28:03
>> Either in a picture or in person.
28:05
>> In a picture.
28:08
>> What the heck? [laughter]
28:10
>> All right. Would you like clue number
28:12
two, people?
28:13
>> Yes.
28:14
>> Okay. I'm going to give you clue number
28:15
two.
28:18
That should be worth half the
28:19
>> Oh, okay.
28:21
>> Where is it?
28:22
>> Yeah. This is [laughter]
28:23
>> okay. You want to write it down and let
28:25
other people guess? I'm sure Chris knows
28:27
immediately.
28:28
>> Bailey still doesn't know.
28:31
>> Does Clocky know. Does Roger know? We
28:34
will find out next on Geeks Corner.
28:41
I don't know. We'll see.
28:47
All right. I'm going to show it in five,
28:50
four, three. Here is the location. Two.
28:55
One. Oh, Clocky got it in. Roger got it
28:58
in. So, points for each of you. And
29:00
Katie got a point, too, because that is
29:01
what she wrote. And that is correct. It
29:03
is that amazing Mickey statue. Chris,
29:05
we'll give it to you also. And and
29:07
Bailey, all of you get points. Great
29:09
job. One more, everybody.
29:13
This one's fun.
29:17
Gallons delivered.
29:21
Okay, I'm probably wrong, but I am going
29:24
to actually I know I'm wrong. It's fine.
29:26
I'm going to say it anyway. I'm going to
29:28
say the um gas pump outside of Humphre.
29:33
>> Okay.
29:34
>> Sorry that I just said it. I Whenever I
29:36
think I'm wrong, it's the game.
29:37
>> Whenever I think I'm wrong, I just
29:39
>> It's okay. It's part of the game.
29:41
>> I say it out loud. So, that's what I'm
29:42
going to say.
29:43
>> You know, it's better than me having all
29:44
of the things set up backwards last
29:46
time. So everything was showing at the
29:48
beginning and then clocky could just re
29:50
>> remember what I had. Um pretty good.
29:53
>> That was my fault. Uh anybody have any
29:56
guesses?
29:58
>> We will see.
30:00
Gas pump near Saurin. That's a good
30:03
guess.
30:05
>> We have the same guess.
30:06
>> I think so.
30:06
>> Okay. I was like that's the same.
30:08
>> I was just affirming all of you.
30:10
>> Okay.
30:10
>> There's another guess for that.
30:13
Roger, Clocky, and Katie all have the
30:15
same
30:17
guess.
30:19
And so does Bailey. All right, we're
30:22
gonna go straight to what this is
30:25
because I'm sure Chris also knows. There
30:27
we go. [laughter]
30:29
There we go. All right, this is the
30:31
location across from Humphre. Very well
30:33
done, everybody. Good job. I don't know
30:35
who won that. I lost track of uh points
30:38
fairly early.
30:38
>> I have two points.
30:40
>> There you go. Let us know. But now it is
30:42
time as we wrap up the show for
30:50
Comments. Comments.
30:53
That is right. It's time for comments.
30:55
If you have anything you'd like us to
30:56
respond to, let us know in the comments.
30:58
I will scroll back through really
30:59
quickly and hit a couple of them and uh
31:01
we'll stick around and and respond for a
31:04
few minutes. Um
31:07
what do we got?
31:12
Uh, D23 came from the year that the Walt
31:14
Disney Company was founded.
31:18
>> 1923.
31:20
>> 2023. It was crazy.
31:21
>> Yeah. Just Just three years ago. Um,
31:23
>> yeah. I don't know how they started
31:24
doing expose before that.
31:25
>> Looks like lots of people are getting
31:27
badges today. Yes. I wish we could go
31:28
back to Mad Tea Party. Although I will
31:30
say in the last D23 during I think it
31:34
was Disney Experiences beforehand, they
31:36
had a reunion show um with Hiatus doing
31:39
all the Mad Tea Party songs.
31:41
>> Was one of the craziest mainly cuz I was
31:43
like there's no way that I'm like seeing
31:45
this with my eyeballs right now.
31:47
>> I thought it was also interesting um
31:50
with that one how many people didn't
31:51
know what it was,
31:52
>> which was upsetting to me. like
31:55
Disneyland locals have been around a
31:56
while, loved it, but I was shocked at
31:59
how many people just had no clue what it
32:01
was. And and I think it's because
32:02
there's so many people that come in from
32:05
around the world. And then also there's
32:07
always this kind of attrition thing
32:08
happening with fans, too. So, you always
32:10
have new fans and and this was a very
32:13
small corner of Disney California
32:14
Adventures. So, I think that was part of
32:15
it. Uh, Fourth of July was covering a
32:18
lot of the Marine bands, Air Force
32:22
bands, Navy bands, Army bands, fireworks
32:26
from everywhere possible at the
32:28
Disneyland Resort. I I think I don't
32:30
even know how many hours I filmed in the
32:32
Disneyland Resort last week, but that
32:34
was that was my Fourth of July was um a
32:37
lot of video. And thank you to all of
32:38
those that helped us make through it
32:40
from from everywhere. Um,
32:45
if Neil Patrick Harris doesn't do a
32:47
one-man show of carousel progress,
32:50
Bailey wants a refund. I think that's
32:51
very uh very fair.
32:54
>> I want a special edition though of now
32:56
is the time.
32:57
>> Oh, there you go. That could be fun,
32:59
too. Uh, that'd be a good opener, like
33:01
combined with them. Um, if Neil Patrick
33:03
Harris could be a guest star on the
33:04
Muppet Show, which songs could he sing
33:06
with the Electric Mayhem? and which
33:09
magic act as there you go. I like that.
33:12
>> I would love um Neil Patrick Caris doing
33:15
uh magic tricks for the electric Mayhem
33:17
cuz I think Janice would actually lose
33:18
her.
33:19
>> I think the whole band would having
33:21
interviewed them once. I I think
33:23
anything out of their normal like what
33:25
they expect um would be fantastic. And
33:29
uh I think it would be only appropriate
33:31
if they also uh performed razledazzle.
33:34
>> Oo,
33:34
>> because that would go right along with
33:36
the magic
33:37
>> trick. Um, okay. Uh, that's okay. There
33:41
we're back to uh the game. Good. Um,
33:46
would I wear a Jojo bow tie?
33:49
>> Uh, so
33:51
is Annie a fan of Jojo Siwa?
33:54
If yes,
33:56
>> then I suppose so.
33:57
>> Then yes. My nieces
33:59
um outgrew Jojo Siwa, but there was a
34:02
time where I could not go two seconds
34:04
with um out hearing I don't care about
34:06
what they say. I'mma come back like a
34:08
boomerang.
34:10
So yeah, and they would like read me the
34:12
Jojo Seiwall like little golden books
34:14
and stuff. So um
34:15
>> I didn't know there were golden books.
34:17
>> I think there is about like Jojo and her
34:21
bow bow. I don't know. Okay. Um,
34:26
I'm a 29-year-old woman. Annie is not
34:29
aware she exists. So then why would he
34:31
wear a Jojo Siwa bow tie?
34:33
>> If not for Annie for who?
34:36
>> There we go. Um, if there was a magic
34:38
float or magician float with Neil
34:41
Patrick Harris added to Paint the Night.
34:43
Well, it would probably be the float
34:46
that Mickey's currently on. [laughter]
34:48
So that is the question though.
34:52
Let's say they bring Paint the Night
34:53
back in one year, four years, five
34:56
years, whatever it is. The rate it's
34:58
going probably be for the 75th. But um
35:01
>> Okay.
35:02
>> But that's no longer Celebrate Happy.
35:05
>> Mhm. [clears throat]
35:05
>> So, what song do you now put into that
35:08
slot?
35:10
>> I don't know, man.
35:12
>> Like, there's a lot of them you could do
35:13
that would fit the
35:14
>> Welcome to Our Family Time.
35:15
>> Oh, okay. There you go.
35:18
Hm.
35:19
>> Uh, what was the song in the 60th? I
35:22
don't feel like the 60th really had a
35:23
song like that.
35:24
>> Um, it had the um
35:25
>> It had the fireworks song.
35:27
>> The fireworks song was
35:28
>> But it didn't have like
35:29
>> because it was paint the night was the
35:30
the other one.
35:31
>> Yeah. It just didn't have like a
35:32
stinger. Like this has celebrate
35:34
happiness.
35:35
>> Yeah. It doesn't have its own jingle.
35:36
>> Uh the 50th had welcome to our family
35:38
time. Like the 60th doesn't have that.
35:42
>> So I had to go back to the 50th. H I
35:46
could imagine maybe uh you can fly
35:48
working in somehow
35:51
>> because it would tie into the beginning
35:52
and then you could I don't know. Um
35:55
>> also if there was to be a uh
35:57
>> there's magic in the stars
35:59
>> magic float.
36:02
I was going to say Hegodus figus but
36:05
also that [laughter] there's magic in
36:08
the stars. Um, no. I like there's magic
36:10
in the stars and and then I think Clocky
36:13
should probably have to be uh a part of
36:16
that because he's our resident uh magic
36:19
guy. Um,
36:21
>> I feel like there's a word for that.
36:22
>> Magician.
36:24
[laughter] Well, I was going to say more
36:26
than that, though, because he's not just
36:27
a magician, he's also like he does both
36:30
halves of it.
36:32
>> Like he's great being the person that
36:34
the magic's being done to as well in the
36:36
the magic shop. And that's always fun.
36:38
>> Did someone say cheap
36:39
>> D23? Do we get what D23 information are
36:43
we going to get on Mickey's 100th
36:44
anniversary? I don't know. Um I think
36:47
that's definitely something they could
36:49
talk about. And the part that surprised
36:51
me looking through the the panels today
36:53
is I didn't see anything about like
36:56
there's things that the voice of Mickey
36:57
Mouse is doing, but that's like how to
37:01
disnify your house or an auction. And
37:03
that surprised me a little bit. I think
37:05
what he's asking is, do we get it this
37:06
year or do we get it in 28?
37:10
>> That's assuming it's in 28.
37:13
>> Okay. Assuming it follows the every
37:14
two-year model.
37:15
>> Yeah. But what else is in 28?
37:19
>> MLB is over.
37:20
>> The Olympics.
37:22
>> Oh, in LA.
37:24
>> Uhhuh.
37:24
>> That's in like July.
37:26
>> Okay.
37:28
>> I don't know. Like I I this just is just
37:30
>> in fact, we've actually moved it up. Um,
37:32
so the closing ceremonies go actually
37:34
immediately into they carry the torch
37:37
into
37:38
>> Mickey Mouse does
37:39
>> the Anaheim Dimension Center. Yeah,
37:40
>> actually Hercules would be the
37:42
appropriate one. But [laughter]
37:45
all right, well we are running out of
37:46
time for tonight.
37:48
>> I am curious what ends up happening with
37:50
that because it would be very close. But
37:51
maybe that's fine. And isn't Disney
37:53
supposed to be a big part of of that,
37:55
too?
37:55
>> No. Who else is?
37:58
>> Not me. Oh, okay. Not me literally.
37:59
>> Anyway, we're running out of time. What
38:01
