In this episode of Geeks Corner, Mr. Daps and Caitie Bear kick off the show by celebrating Snoopy’s birthday and debating the logistics of his ageless Peanuts character lore before turning to the Caption of the Week, which features a throwback photo of Darth Vader from Tomorrowland’s former Jedi Training Academy. The team then looks back at the conclusion of Disneyland’s 14-to-15-month 70th anniversary celebration—reviewing the removal of park medallions and main street decorations alongside the final performances of World of Color Happiness and the Celebrate Happy Cavalcade—before getting into a detailed Halloween food preview highlighting upcoming treats like Ube Mickey Waffles, the Spicy Oogie Boogie Burrito, Spicy Blush Pasta at Alien Pizza Planet, and Peanut Butter Mocha Cold Brew. Finally, the show concludes with Epcot and D23 speculation, as Mr. Daps and Caitie Bear share their expectations and hopes for upcoming announcements, including potential attraction refurbishments for Spaceship Earth and Space Mountain as well as land expansions for Avatar. We hope you enjoy this episode of Geeks Corner and join the conversation in the comments! We’ll see you ’round the corner!

0:17
>> Welcome to Geek's Corner. I'm Mr. Dapps.
0:19
>> I'm Katie.
0:19
>> Did you know that today is Snoopy's
0:22
birthday?
0:23
We don't know exactly what year cuz it's
0:25
kind of up to a debate on if it was the
0:27
first time he appeared
0:29
or the year that they established that
0:31
today was his birthday, which was in
0:33
1968 because Charlie Brown and the gang
0:35
were throwing him a birthday party.
0:37
And
0:39
they kind of just don't age.
0:41
>> Well, yeah.
0:42
>> he's still like a 2-year-old dog or a
0:44
3-year-old dog, however many years
0:47
later. Like it could just go forever.
0:49
>> Meanwhile, I'm personally disappointed
0:51
because my Peanuts of the Day calendar,
0:53
it is not Snoopy's birthday. Well, it
0:55
is, but they're not throwing him a
0:56
party.
0:57
>> This was not the year.
0:58
>> And they're not um there's no notation
1:00
that it's Snoopy's birthday.
1:01
>> of infinite years.
1:02
>> Birthday.
1:03
>> Yes.
1:04
>> I'm like
1:04
>> It's a weird thing.
1:06
>> So, yeah, I remember like an hour or two
1:08
ago I just randomly went, "It's Snoopy's
1:10
birthday?" And you went
1:13
Yeah.
1:13
>> Yeah. It's [laughter] been all over the
1:14
internet. Yeah.
1:17
Surprise. All right. Well, what should
1:19
people do, Katie?
1:21
>> You should go into the chat and you
1:23
should tell us if you knew it was
1:24
Snoopy's birthday.
1:26
And how old do you think he is forever?
1:30
Do you think How old do you think Snoopy
1:32
is? Cuz we know that Snoopy was a baby
1:33
at one point. How old is he now?
1:36
>> Yeah, where did he stay in time?
1:37
>> Where did he stay in time?
1:39
>> That is a very good question.
1:40
>> Cuz we think like the Peanuts kids are
1:41
like what? 9, 10? Something like that.
1:43
Something like that, sure.
1:44
>> Eight.
1:44
>> Uh
1:45
>> Who knows?
1:45
>> 11? Who's to say?
1:47
>> Elementary school. That's what we know.
1:48
>> [laughter]
1:49
>> We know that, yes. Uh you should also go
1:52
to dappshq.com.
1:54
We will post show for for show. If you
1:56
like speculating about the ages of
1:57
fictional characters and where they're
1:58
stuck in time, boy howdy, do we have
2:01
more content that you're just going to
2:03
love.
2:05
>> Or maybe Snoopy only has one birthday,
2:07
and that's why he's still the same age.
2:08
>> Oh, he doesn't he got one birthday one
2:11
time.
2:13
>> and it's still going.
2:15
>> Yeah.
2:15
>> Like it's the the second one has not
2:17
happened yet.
2:20
This is what we're going to discuss on
2:21
Daps HQ, maybe. Uh probably not, who
2:24
knows. Uh we'll actually probably be
2:26
discussing more about D23 and all of
2:29
that fun stuff. Uh I love that we
2:31
already have a favorite treat up there,
2:33
a couple of them actually. We've got
2:35

2:36
costumes from Snow Mater's.

2:47
>> so good.

2:52
things. And those ube waffles were like
2:54
warm and gooey and perfect.
2:57
>> Yes.
2:58
>> I want more ube Mickey waffles.

4:19
one gets the most likes at the end of
4:21
the week becomes the permanent caption
4:22
of the week. And uh and then we have
4:25
another picture that I've already picked
4:26
out for this coming week because D23
4:28
will be happening and uh I won't have a
4:30
lot of time to
4:31
>> weekend?
4:32
>> week, but we're not getting to that.
4:33
We're looking back first. So, first
4:38
after what? Uh
4:40
14 months? Something like that? Maybe 15
4:42
months? The uh Disneyland 70th
4:45
celebration officially is over. It kind
4:49
of was already um
4:52
tiptoeing out the door.
4:53
>> I was going to say petering out, but
4:54
yeah.
4:55
>> Yeah, before that. Like some of the
4:56
decorations disappeared uh for the 250th
4:59
anniversary and um
5:02
and and some just randomly disappeared
5:05
also. Uh but
5:07
Sunday was the official last day, you
5:09
know, it was the last World of Color
5:11
Happiness. It was the last Celebrate
5:13
Happy Cavalcade. It may or may not have
5:17
been the last um Tapestry of Happiness
5:20
just because I think I saw it on the
5:22
website still. I don't know. Uh we'll
5:24
find out on that one. I'll I'll need to
5:25
You can look on the app while I'm I'm
5:27
talking about this.
5:28
>> now.
5:28
>> See if it's still there. Um but we were
5:31
there. We we went and saw and
5:32
experienced the last day of medallions
5:35
on Main Street, U.S.A. and in front of
5:37
the castle, which are no longer there.
5:39
And there is a medallion still in front
5:41
of uh the train station though as you
5:43
enter the park. Um but the one Main
5:45
Street, gone. Castle, gone.
5:48
Cin Sonoma Cin
5:50
Cinema is closed as they as they return
5:53
presumably to what it was before.
5:55
Unless they give us a huge surprise at
5:57
D23.
5:58
I don't know.
5:59
I'm going to assume it's going back to
6:00
what it is before as of this point cuz I
6:02
don't have any other information that
6:04
that says otherwise. But as we say
6:07
goodbye to
6:09
>> page was still there.
6:10
>> Oh, the splash page is still there.
6:11
There we [laughter] go.
6:13
The I can tell you that in
6:16
uh
6:17
Toy Story Midway Mania, still there.
6:19
There's There's a few things here and
6:21
there.
6:21
>> of Happiness.
6:22
>> See, Tapestry of Happiness is still on
6:24
the I'm not crazy.
6:26
>> It is still
6:27
>> Still on the
6:27
>> That's the Small World Tapestry of
6:29
Happiness.
6:29
>> Yes, the other one's been gone for It
6:31
left a week early.
6:32
>> Yeah.
6:33
>> Um when the Bats in the Belfry came,
6:35
they they disappeared. But
6:37
>> Bats in your Belfry.
6:38
>> What do you think
6:40
the lasting legacy of the 70th is going
6:44
to be? I have what I think. Do you want
6:47
to go first or do you want
6:48
>> Sure, you can go first.
6:49
>> The thing I think that was best about
6:51
the 70th celebration is it brought back
6:55
the Happiest Place on Earth.
6:56
>> Yeah.
6:57
>> And for no other reason, that puts it as
6:59
a very special celebration in my world
7:02
because I can remember growing up and it
7:04
was always about going to the Happiest
7:05
Place on Earth. And then I can remember
7:08
I think it was the 50th pre-parade
7:10
cavalcade thing, which is funny that
7:12
they had a pre-parade cavalcade and now
7:14
we just have
7:15
>> have a cavalcade.
7:15
>> Um granted it was just a vehicle with
7:17
dancers, but
7:19
um I remember that song had the Happiest
7:21
Place on Earth as part of it and maybe
7:23
that was the Millennia the not the
7:25
Millennium the uh
7:28
uh Year of a Million Dreams. That might
7:29
have been the Year of a Million Dreams.
7:31
>> Year of a Million Dreams.
7:31
>> Cavalcade. Anybody remembers Roger I
7:33
feel like he's going to remember.
7:34
Um
7:36
but I think if for nothing else
7:38
bringing happy back to Disneyland and
7:41
connecting that with you know Disneyland
7:43
handcrafted and the recognition and that
7:46
great quote from Walt Disney of he wants
7:49
people to be better and happier because
7:50
they came to Disneyland. I think getting
7:52
back to that
7:54
is such a great thing. And and I hope
7:57
that's something that continues forward
7:59
past the 70th.
8:01
>> I agree. I think um happiest place on
8:03
Earth coming back is incredibly iconic
8:05
mainly because
8:07
you talk I don't want to say like oh
8:08
most normal people but like most normal
8:11
people you talk to that are not at
8:12
Disneyland every single day are still
8:14
going to say it's the happiest place on
8:15
Earth.
8:16
Because it's what it is.
8:18
Um I also think like 50th branding
8:20
happiest homecoming on Earth like
8:22
happiest
8:23
>> that. Yeah.
8:24
>> on Earth like it's always been
8:27
in my opinion that. Um so doing these
8:29
celebrate happy making it about
8:31
happiness I think super awesome. Um
8:36
in my opinion that is the lasting memory
8:39
of the 70th. I will say
8:42
75 is our next really really big one
8:45
like
8:47
>> To me that's the one you have to swing
8:48
for the the bleachers.
8:49
>> Yeah. So I'm like what is going to
8:52
happen and
8:53
in some ways I don't want to say oh I'm
8:55
really glad the 70th wasn't like
8:57
>> massive
8:57
>> massive but I do really want the 75th to
9:01
be that one that it's been 20 years
9:03
since the 50th and we're still going oh
9:05
my god do you remember the 50th?
9:07
It's been uh
9:09
15 years since your million dreams and
9:11
we're like oh my or 18 years. We're like
9:14
do you remember that? Like I want
9:16
the 75th to be that oh my god I was
9:19
there.
9:19
>> That once in a generation celebration.
9:21
Cuz I think it as you go back uh a lot
9:24
of people think of the 35th like in my
9:27
lifetime. 35th was a big deal 50th was a
9:29
big deal. Uh 60th was like the once in a
9:32
generation and it's usually every 15 to
9:34
20 years. And um
9:37
and so I think that would put it on
9:39
track for being 75. That'd be 15 years
9:42
years um from the 60th. And and I would
9:44
if if I were in charge, um I would be
9:47
thinking about it now. I would be
9:48
thinking about this is what worked with
9:50
the 60th, this is what worked for the
9:53
50th, this is what worked for the 35th,
9:55
you know, all of these things. And I
9:57
would be thinking how can we make it
9:59
wow?
10:00
And like I
10:02
nothing has ever blown me away the same
10:05
way the the May 5th, 2005 got
10:07
>> I think the 50th is just
10:09
>> Anybody who was there and remembers May
10:12
5th, 2005
10:14
will probably say that was the day that
10:16
that they were really blown away
10:19
um
10:19
by Disney. And and I've been to many
10:22
many media events through the years and
10:24
that's the one that I think of the most
10:27
wow moment. Um you know, that's
10:29
including, you know, 2 years ago at D23
10:32
hearing about all these new things
10:33
coming. Um but
10:35
>> It's also because you saw the spirit of
10:36
Walt Disney land on the Sherman Brothers
10:38
piano.
10:39
>> It was it was fantastic. Like that's the
10:41
one that that stands out uh
10:43
even more to anything.
10:45
Um
10:47
Roger says it was the year of a million
10:50
dreams. There we go.
10:52
Um
10:53
There we go. That was fun.
10:55
Um
10:56
>> [laughter]
10:56
>> You got to see it 5 days a week.
10:59
Uh that's very fun.
11:00
Um anyway,
11:02
70th is gone. We're looking forward to
11:03
75th, maybe even the 80th and the 100th
11:05
we have after that. There's a lot to
11:07
look forward to. Maybe we'll get some
11:09
news from of that at D23. I kind of
11:11
think it'll be the next one where we
11:12
hear more about what's coming to 75th.
11:15
Um but maybe we'll get Mickey Mouse
11:16
100th. I don't know.
11:18
All right. Halloween time starts next
11:21
week. It's hard to believe it. It will
11:24
be
11:25
here before we know it. Uh a week from
11:27
tomorrow we will be at the first Oogie
11:30
Boogie Bash. And um it's going to be
11:33
it's it's going to be a crazy week and a
11:34
half cuz you're going to go from all the
11:36
D23 and
11:38
um
11:39
straight into Halloween well Oogie
11:41
Boogie then Halloween time and and
11:45
then I feel like it's just a you know a
11:47
marathon to the end of the year.
11:50
Um already
11:52
the Disneyland Resort is starting to
11:54
transform itself from from the 70th to
11:58
Halloween. Like we've already seen
12:00
Halloween merchandise arriving. We've
12:02
seen Halloween we've seen Oogie Boogie
12:04
over uh
12:06
you know Disney California Adventure
12:08
entrance the medallion at Disney
12:10
California Adventure that was in in
12:12
Buena Vista Street and up on the Carthay
12:14
Circle were removed about a week and a
12:16
go week ago two weeks ago something like
12:17
that. Um there's crows in Fortuosity.
12:21
That's how you know when the crows
12:22
return.
12:23
Um
12:24
I love the crows in Fortuosity. I can
12:26
remember the first year they did that.
12:27
It was one of those random
12:29
things.
12:30
>> Um they're fun they're whimsical.
12:32
>> And we now know
12:34
what the food and beverage offerings are
12:36
going to be
12:38
for this year's Halloween time at the
12:41
Disneyland Resort. And
12:44
Halloween time foods tend to be
12:47
one of the most memorable.
12:50
Sometimes are even our favorites. Like
12:52
but when I think through the years of
12:54
different Halloween time foods we've had
12:56
some of my favorite bites have come from
12:58
Halloween.
12:59
And some of my least favorite bites that
13:01
were good also came from Halloween.
13:04
Um but you know I can only handle so
13:06
some level of spice.
13:08
>> It's like I I think about the meal that
13:09
almost killed us. That was Halloween
13:10
time.
13:11
>> yes ghost pepper nachos were were a
13:14
thing.
13:14
>> And I didn't even have to give any
13:16
context other than the meal that almost
13:17
killed us.
13:17
>> we all know. It was it was a thing.
13:19
>> And then a week later they were not that
13:22
spicy.
13:22
>> No.
13:23
>> [laughter]
13:23
>> So people thought we were crazy.
13:24
>> They backed them off. It was
13:26
>> They were like okay.
13:26
>> It was a thing.
13:27
>> All right. So, Katie,
13:29
>> Yeah.
13:29
>> what is the thing you are most looking
13:31
forward to
13:33
during Halloween time in a in a culinary
13:36
realm
13:36
>> Okay.
13:37
>> at the Disneyland Resort? And is it Can
13:39
I make a guess?
13:40
>> Mhm.
13:41
>> The chili cheese fries at
13:44
>> [laughter]
13:45
>> You know me
13:45
>> Stage Door and/or inside at
13:49

so well. It's insane.
13:52
>> I just had a feeling. I Mhm.
13:55
>> Yes. [snorts]
13:56
I am very excited about the chili cheese
13:58
fries. I actually was going to say,
14:00
because I knew when you started saying,
14:02
"Oh, and let me guess." I knew you were
14:04
going to say
14:04
>> Mhm.
14:05
>> what it was.
14:06
Um the other thing I'm looking forward
14:08
to is the spicy blush pasta.
14:10
>> Oh, okay.
14:11
>> at Alien Pizza Planet.
14:12
>> Okay.
14:13
>> Um it looks like it's a spicy pink
14:15
sauce.
14:15
>> Yeah.
14:16
>> on
14:16
>> Well, and Pizza Planet's in generally
14:19
very safe and very good.
14:20
>> Yeah.
14:20
>> Like, whether it's salad, whether it's
14:22
pasta, whether it's pizza, you're going
14:24
to be fine.
14:25
>> Yeah.
14:25
>> I I think that's great.
14:27
Um where has I see the French onion
14:29
pizza thing in the the comments.
14:31
One of the places has a Basically, it's
14:34
like a garlic pizza that's supposed to
14:37
like protect you.
14:39
>> Um that's usually at Boardwalk.
14:42
>> Was that where it is? I don't I don't
14:43
remember. But, um I thought that was
14:45
amusing to see Oh, I think I just found
14:47
it. It is at Boardwalk. It's called the
14:49
anti-vampire pizza.
14:50
>> Spicy pickle popcorn?
14:52
>> No, thanks.
14:53
>> Kind of crazy. I would have a bite. I
14:55
would not order
14:55
>> eat that bite.
14:56
>> I would not order a whole thing of them.
14:58
>> Lamplight has steak frites. I don't know
15:00
what that has to do with um Halloween,
15:03
but I'm ex- Like, they look good.
15:05
>> Oh, through January 6th.
15:07
>> all through the end of the year. It
15:08
keeps going. Uh Smokejumpers has some
15:11
spicy wings. Those look decent.
15:14
>> Yeah.
15:14
>> Um I will say they're going to be up
15:17
against the Carnaby spicy wings, cuz
15:20
right now is they're the best spicy
15:22
spicy ring wings on property I can
15:25
speak.
15:25
>> They're so so so so so
15:26
good.
15:27
>> Yeah, those I would eat those every time
15:30
I went to Disneyland if if that were an
15:32
option.
15:34
What else is jumping out at you?
15:36
>> Um
15:37
I will say
15:39
if it actually gets cold enough and it
15:40
does run August 18th through January
15:42
6th, the chicken pot pie soup.
15:45
>> Okay.
15:46
>> That sounds
15:48
stellar.
15:49
>> Spooky steak frites would be a much
15:51
better name.
15:52
>> Ooh, spooky steak frites.
15:54
>> Yeah.
15:55
>> Um I don't know how I feel about the
15:57
waffle macaron.
16:00
>> Okay.
16:01
>> I think I'm scared of it.
16:03
>> Okay.
16:03
>> I think I'm 29 and scared of the
16:07
>> [sighs and gasps]
16:07
>> Uh I will say I
16:10
I see right now the peanut butter mocha
16:12
cold brew and last year I was like, "Oh
16:14
man, I'm going to demolish this." It's
16:16
not.
16:18
>> Um I'm looking for forward to the spicy
16:20
Oogie Boogie burrito.
16:22
Mainly
16:24
because it's at
16:25
>> Well, it's fun to say, but it's also at
16:28
the food truck, the studio catering
16:30
company.
16:30
>> Yes.
16:31
>> And almost every burrito there is good.
16:34
>> Oh, I thought you were going to say that
16:35
might not be long for this world.
16:36
>> Well, it probably isn't. Like I I don't
16:38
think that lasts into next year unless
16:40
they move it and I and obviously the
16:42
Hollywood Lounge doesn't make it either.
16:44
Um
16:45
but I
16:47
I think that one looks good. And then
16:48
there's the I think there's pumpkin
16:51
matcha Mickey-shaped waffles. I thought
16:52
they were pumpkin. Never mind.
16:54
>> I would have loved if they were pumpkin.
16:55
Um I will say they're really leaning
16:57
into the pull-apart breads, which I feel
16:59
have been hit or miss.
17:01
>> I feel
17:03
>> like we could make them.
17:05
>> Well, I wouldn't though.
17:06
>> Oh.
17:06
>> Cuz I feel like I would make my own
17:08
version of whatever they are and I don't
17:11
know that
17:12
like I think the first one was good and
17:14
everything else has been like, "It's
17:15
safe." Like they are very safe for
17:19
people that maybe don't want to explore
17:21
the culinary realm quite as much.
17:23
>> And I love
17:26
a um Hawaiian sweet roll.
17:28
I love a Hawaiian sweet roll. You put
17:30
some cream cheese in that bad boy, it's
17:32
over. And I like the one the first one
17:35
with that we got with Clockie. Didn't it
17:36
have like spicy honey or something, too?
17:38
>> It might have. Amazing, delicious. But,
17:40
the the pizza one that just came out,
17:42
meh.
17:42
The buffalo chicken one that's coming
17:44
out for Halloween?
17:45
>> Maybe. Maybe. Anyway, there'll be a lot
17:47
of food. We'll try some of it as much as
17:49
we can when Halloween time begins. We'll
17:51
be with our friends
17:53
Denise and Jeff from MouseSteps, so
17:54
it'll be a blast and um
17:57
>> Please, guys, take your bets now.
17:59
Will there be gingerbread
18:02
at the exit of Haunted Mansion Holiday?
18:05
Take your bets now.
18:07
>> I will not put money on that. Um other
18:09
than yeah.
18:11
>> [laughter]
18:11
>> Other than yeah.
18:13
>> It's not not going to be the way I want
18:14
it to be.
18:15
All right, moving right along. We
18:17
learned this week that Spaceship Earth
18:21
is the next attraction to make the leap
18:24
from the parks to the screen. It'll be
18:26
the small screen, not the silver screen,
18:28
it looks like, but Spaceship Earth got a
18:31
series pilot order for Disney Plus. This
18:34
doesn't mean it's getting made, it
18:35
doesn't mean it's getting three seasons
18:38
like is so common with with series on
18:41
Disney.
18:42
Um what it does means is they're
18:44
exploring this.
18:46
And what we know about it is very little
18:49
other than a logline.
18:50
>> Okay. What's what's the logline?
18:51
>> and stuff, but we're not going to worry
18:52
about that. Here is the logline. When a
18:55
mission to avert an imminent global
18:57
cataclysm goes awry, a small band of
19:00
teenagers from Earth's past and future
19:04
must join forces to confront a threat as
19:06
vast and mysterious as time itself.
19:12
So, something goes bad and a bunch of
19:14
time travelers come together to fix it,
19:16
right? Is that what I'm seeing?
19:17
>> Sure.
19:18
>> Yeah. Uh, what do we think about this?
19:21
>> I don't
19:24
My problem with anything like this is I
19:25
don't think it's going to capture the
19:28
essence of
19:30
Spaceship Earth.
19:32
Because to me, Spaceship Earth is a
19:34
grand and miraculous spaceship. I I
19:35
think it's very incredible.
19:37
Um, I think that
19:40
and I will use Once Upon a Time for
19:42
example.
19:43
>> Mhm.
19:44
>> It takes these things that are fun and a
19:46
little silly and then it starts being
19:48
very serious and like really diving into
19:51
lore to the point where you kind of
19:53
forget that it's even attached to
19:55
um, Disney or what Once Upon a Time did
19:58
it towards the end is it reminds you too
19:59
much of Disney and you're like, "Oh,
20:00
Elsa just showed up in her dress."
20:03
Um,
20:05
but
20:07
I am nervous about this. Mainly mainly
20:09
because
20:10
I didn't ask for this. I don't know if I
20:13
I'm not going to say no one asked for
20:14
this.
20:16
But I know I didn't ask for it. So, it
20:17
makes me a little makes me a little
20:19
nervy.
20:20
>> Well, and this is where I'll say, it is
20:22
a
20:24
pilot order. This does not mean it's
20:26
actually getting made. So, they have a
20:28
lot way to go or a long way to go. Um, I
20:31
do think there's some ways that it could
20:32
be done.
20:33
And and as I'm thinking about it, I'm
20:35
thinking of WandaVision.
20:37
>> Sure.
20:38
>> Like if you take it a certain path and
20:41
in that case, you're taking it seriously
20:43
but you're also being whimsical about
20:45
it.
20:45
>> Yes.
20:45
>> I think that's the way to do it because
20:47
I love the thought of them, you know,
20:49
having to go and see the woolly mammoth
20:52
or going and, you know, Steve Jobs show.
20:55
Like they could make it a fun teen show.
20:58
Steve Job What?
21:00
>> [snorts]
21:00
>> At one point the nerdy kid of the group
21:02
is going to say, "Thank the
21:04
Phoenicians." And I bet that'll even be
21:06
in the trailer.
21:06
>> I It has to be. Um
21:08
if they really want to hit a home run
21:10
and sell fans on it, you you bring uh
21:13
Dame Judi Dench in as the narrator for
21:16
this thing.
21:16
>> Of the grand and miraculous Spaceship.
21:19
>> There you go. Um I don't know. It'll be
21:20
interesting to see how it plays. I'm
21:22
also curious if it does end up being
21:24
picked up, does that mean that's our
21:26
clue that oh, hey, Spaceship Earth's
21:28
getting updated like they said in What
21:31
was it? 2019?
21:32
>> 2019 D23 Expo. [clears throat]
21:34
>> Which
21:35
I think it needs a good overhaul. I
21:38
don't know that it needs a
21:39
transformation.
21:40
Like it's kind of one of those ones that
21:42
I think you should almost treat like
21:44
like they've done with Peter Pan and
21:46
Alice in Wonderland in um Fantasyland at
21:48
Disneyland, where you update the the
21:51
effects and you update how good they
21:53
look, you know, it looks, lighting, or
21:54
whatever. Maybe even update the the
21:57
animatronics, the audio animatronics,
21:59
and
22:00
but keep their the general
22:02
>> But I will say historically Spaceship
22:04
Earth has changed narrators quite a few
22:06
times.
22:07
>> True.
22:07
>> And so I I'm not
22:09
I'm not against that either. I just
22:10
don't think we need to have entirely new
22:12
scenes, except if we want to maybe add
22:14
something in that very long
22:16
>> counter argument to
22:18
>> well, where there used to be scenes. Um
22:20
then my counter argument to my own
22:21
argument is they are redoing Carousel of
22:23
Progress. They did just do Walt Disney's
22:25
Magical Life. There are, you know,
22:27
they're
22:29
They have a trend of reinvesting in the
22:31
classics right now. So I think it's it's
22:33
a distinct possibility that this could
22:35
be
22:36
an indication of things to come, and
22:38
maybe not. Who knows? This this could go
22:39
anywhere.
22:40
Um all right.
22:43
Before we run out of time for tonight,
22:45
D23, the ultimate Disney fan event.
22:46
We're not going to spend a ton of time
22:47
on this because we will spend probably
22:50
the entire show next week on this. Like
22:53
as I'm thinking about this,
22:55
next week's show will all be D23. The
22:58
following week's show will be all
23:00
Halloween. Just not to confuse
23:02
everything.
23:02
>> Next week's show, by the way, not on
23:04
Monday.
23:06
>> Um
23:06
>> Also, not on Tuesday.
23:09
>> There you go. Um D23.
23:11
>> Mhm.
23:12
>> What is your top prediction for what
23:15
this is going to What are we going to
23:17
walk away with?
23:21
>> [sighs]
23:21
>> Man, I don't know. Because
23:25
whenever I've had predictions, I walk
23:26
away with Target dog or Fortnite. Like
23:30
>> [laughter]
23:31
>> Well, Fortnite will be on Friday night
23:32
instead of Saturday cuz now it's part of
23:34
entertainment. So, I That's a good
23:36
prediction. So, we're getting an update
23:37
on Fortnite if you want to see.
23:38
>> hope we get a Josh D'Amaro emote in
23:41
Fortnite. Um this is my Josh D'Amaro
23:43
skin, and look at the emote he does. Um
23:46
I would like that personally.
23:48
Um
23:50
My obviously my big go button is parks.
23:52
I I don't know what I'm going to walk
23:54
away being like, "This is the big
23:56
thing."
23:57
>> Okay.
23:57
>> Um
23:59
I would love to say.
24:01
I don't think there's been any nods to
24:02
it at all. I don't think it's in the
24:04
posters. I don't think I have actually
24:05
any hope of this. But my hope is
24:09
Figment. I hope Figment gets love. I
24:12
hope Figment
24:12
>> So, updated attraction, or reimagined
24:15
attraction, movie, what?
24:17
>> Uh Figment attraction reimagined to 1980
24:21
Is it three when
24:22
>> Mhm.
24:23
>> or whatever year Figment first opened
24:24
with Dreamfinder.
24:27
I would like to see that iteration of
24:32
uh Figment come back.
24:34
>> What if Neil Patrick Harris is the
24:36
Dreamfinder?
24:37
>> I'd be okay with that.
24:38
>> Okay.
24:39
Just cuz of that, you know, how not to
24:41
draw thing.
24:42
>> Mhm.
24:42
>> He was the voice talking to Figment, so
24:44
you could make an argument that
24:46
>> He was. I
24:47
>> new thing.
24:47
>> I would say personally [clears throat]
24:50
and maybe this is controversial to some
24:52
people, but I would love if we got that
24:55
um while we still have Dave Goelz
24:57
actively working.
25:00
Cuz I think Dave Goelz is an excellent
25:01
pigment.
25:02
>> They've kind of already replaced the
25:03
voice though.
25:05
So, I don't know. Like not
25:07
not to
25:09
over-assume anything, but you never
25:10
know.
25:11
Um, okay. So, that's your hope or your
25:13
prediction?
25:13
>> That is my hope.
25:14
>> What's your prediction?
25:15
>> have a prediction. These things scare
25:18
me.
25:18
>> My prediction has stayed the same and
25:20
it's got a little bit confirmed today
25:23
because they released information about
25:24
Horizons a Carousella progress. My
25:26
prediction is it's flushing out a lot of
25:28
two years ago.
25:29
>> Okay.
25:30
>> And and so, my prediction is we we learn
25:32
about like the ride system for Piston
25:35
Peak. We learn what the second
25:36
attraction is there. We learn what's
25:38
going into Villains Land, maybe even the
25:40
name for Villains Land.
25:42
Um, I think they'll probably tell us a
25:44
whole lot more about Coco here on the
25:46
West Coast. Avengers Campus, I think is
25:48
going to get a major
25:51
focal point and we're going to learn
25:52
exactly how that attraction
25:55
Like we're going to know what that
25:56
experience is going to be more like by
25:58
the end of that.
25:59
Cuz we already know what the um,
26:02
I'm forgetting the other name of the
26:03
attraction there, but the uh,
26:06
we already know a little bit, but we
26:07
haven't really learned a lot from the
26:09
second one and the big one. And then,
26:11
obviously, we're going to learn more
26:13
about Avatar.
26:14
>> Obviously.
26:15
>> I think. Like I
26:17
I just don't think you put it into a um,
26:21
into a shareholder call
26:23
if you're going to bait and switch it.
26:25
Like I I
26:26
>> Could you imagine that?
26:27
>> might even be illegal, I don't know.
26:28
>> That'd be kind of [laughter] a gag.
26:29
That'd be kind of funny.
26:30
>> I would If they did that, I would hats
26:33
off to Josh D'Amaro cuz that would be
26:35
gutsy.
26:36
>> And I would I would do his Fortnite
26:37
emote.
26:38
>> Um, there there you go. Um,
26:41
>> What do you guys think it'd be? Anyway,
26:42
sorry, moving on.
26:44
>> Yeah, so those are my big like what I'm
26:46
fairly certain. We might get more on
26:48
like
26:49
what to expect in the Monsters Inc. Land
26:52
also in Hollywood Studios.
26:54
>> Release the menu for
26:55
cowards.
26:57
>> And then we also might get a little bit
26:59
about
27:01
the new bridge, you know, and parking
27:02
structure, but I don't think that's that
27:05
exciting. So I'd be like, oh, there's a
27:06
new concept art. Would not surprise
27:08
>> going to say if we get like more than 2
27:11
minutes on that, I'd be like
27:14
>> Well, I don't even think 2 minutes. I
27:15
would I would think like 20 seconds or
27:17
something if if I were
27:18
>> like, oh boy, a bridge.
27:20
>> programming
27:22
I don't know how much Disneyland forward
27:24
will actually come up on Saturday night,
27:26
but I wouldn't be surprised if it's
27:28
talked about a lot.
27:29
Like to me that's something that you
27:31
talk about
27:32
you know, in briefings or in
27:34
conversations
27:36
or
27:37
in you know, interviews with you know,
27:39
if it's Lou or if they give us one like
27:41
that would be fantastic.
27:43
Um
27:45
Anytime you want Disney, I will sit in
27:46
front of a camera and talk to whoever
27:48
you want me to.
27:49
But
27:50
>> Bailey, you're getting too crazy.
27:51
>> love to see a Tomorrowland refurb. I
27:53
think if we get one it's going to be in
27:55
Florida just because we already know the
27:58
focus of this is a Carousel of Progress.
28:00
There is that huge rumor about
28:04
about Space Mountain getting re
28:07
redone.
28:08
>> Which thing needs which it needs. Yeah,
28:10
it hurts.
28:11
>> [laughter]
28:12
>> There's a reason that when we're in town
28:14
with people if they go
28:16
we want to go on Space we go
28:17
>> It's like once every four or five years.
28:19
I'm like, all right. I'll try it again.
28:20
Oh, that was a bad idea.
28:21
>> hurts.
28:22
>> That that does hurt.
28:23
>> I'm in pain.
28:23
>> Um so I could see them
28:26
leaning into that a little bit more and
28:28
um
28:31
in continuing cuz they're kind of doing
28:33
a
28:35
I don't know, one step at a time
28:37
transformation anyway.
28:38
>> Mhm.
28:39
>> So I could see them doing that and
28:42
then maybe like I don't know, you're not
28:44
going to update our
28:46
Buzz Lightyear over here cuz they kind
28:47
of just cleaned it up. Um but I would
28:50
love if they redid our Tomorrowland. And
28:53
I would love if they took down the
28:54
PeopleMover path and put a new one in.
28:58
Um also, if you haven't watched last
29:00
week's Photonext yet, you can see when
29:03
they're building it why they can't reuse
29:05
it now.
29:05
>> Aw.
29:06
>> There is a fantastic photo that Clocky
29:09
found that the moment I saw that, I was
29:13
like, "Oh, well, there's why you can't
29:15
keep using that." Like, it's it becomes
29:18
very, very apparent. I think it's the
29:20
second picture or third picture we
29:21
looked at. Um
29:24
I would love if if the the walls came
29:26
down at the entrance to Tomorrowland or
29:28
in Tomorrowland. It'd be fantastic.
29:30
People would geek out about it.
29:33
>> I think it's really funny that we got
29:34
rid of the French fry rocks for
29:36
>> walls.
29:38
I mean, they did give it give
29:40
>> It did help with guest flow.
29:41
>> Yeah, it did.
29:42
>> But
29:43
All right, we have hit most of this. We
29:46
also learned about some of the
29:48
Imagineers that will be speaking during
29:50
Horizons & Carousel of Progress.
29:51
There'll be other surprises. It'll be
29:53
fun. Um it looks like they've got a good
29:55
lineup and uh Thomas Mazlum will be on
29:58
hand as well, which was assumed. And um
30:01
it'll be fun. I I I'm looking forward to
30:02
this. I think it will be the highlight
30:04
of the week and um
30:07
yeah, we'll see. We'll see if they have
30:09
a new area of Imagineering pavilion to
30:11
open up afterwards. But, now it is time
30:13
for
30:19
>> Comments, comments.
30:22
>> That is right. It is time for comments.
30:25
If you have any comments you'd like us
30:26
to respond to, let us know in said
30:29
comments and I will try to get to them
30:30
as quickly as I can. As I scroll back to
30:33
the beginning and find out what else we
30:36
we have.
30:37
>> Really, we're not romanticizing the
30:38
French fry rocks. Do not tell them to
30:40
rest in peace. We are not doing that
30:42
today.
30:43
You know.
30:44
Um
30:45
Let's do this one. If
30:48
Oliver & Company becomes a
30:50
photo-realistic live app action
30:52
adaptation,
30:54
who do you think would voice it?
30:57
>> So, I have never seen Oliver & Company.
31:00
>> Okay, well then that's not going to
31:02
work.
31:03
>> Well, what do you have an answer?
31:05
>> Um
31:07
>> Isn't that the movie with um
31:09
>> I think they could do it. I don't know
31:10
who I would put in it. I think you'd
31:12
have to update the music a bit. It's got
31:13
good music.
31:14
>> doesn't it have the iconic music?
31:16
>> Um
31:18
>> No.
31:19
>> Yeah, it's got great music.
31:20
>> Okay.
31:20
>> Yeah. Um I don't know if it's iconic,
31:22
but it's great.
31:23
>> Didn't they have like a folk Didn't they
31:25
have somebody do the music? Or am I
31:27
thinking of something else?
31:28
>> No, they had No, they they went all out.
31:30
It was kind of the beginning of let's
31:31
use rock stars for music.
31:32
>> Yeah. Okay, cool. I'm not imagining
31:34
things.
31:35
>> Uh what old celebration, here we go.
31:37
Uh would you like to see brought back?
31:41
>> Aw.
31:44
Oh my god. Okay.
31:46
>> good question.
31:47
>> I have pictures
31:49
of me with those paint tubes because I
31:52
love color.
31:54
I love color. I love rainbow. My whole
31:57
phone is organized in rainbow colors.
31:59
>> to experience GlowFest?
32:01
>> Uh no.
32:02
>> Oh, okay. Cuz it was all color.
32:04
>> Before my time.
32:05
>> Okay. It was It was the same year, I
32:07
think.
32:07
>> Was it?
32:08
>> Yeah, it was the opening year of uh
32:10
World of Color because they wanted to
32:11
make sure there was something else
32:13
to do at night in the park for the
32:14
people that couldn't get into
32:16
to uh
32:18
World of Color.
32:18
>> Um but I would say what I would like to
32:21
see come back is the um
32:24
candy corn from the original
32:27
um
32:27
>> in the entranceway.
32:28
>> Uh-huh.
32:28
>> Sunshine Plaza.
32:29
>> of Sunshine Plaza and all of that
32:32
Halloween decor. I would like to see
32:34
that come back.
32:34
>> Where would you put it?
32:36
>> Um so I would put it, um, here's my
32:38
idea. You tear down Carthay Circle, you
32:40
put a fountain. The fountain is really
32:43
reflective and really hard to take
32:44
pictures of because the sun just
32:45
completely hits it.
32:47
Um,
32:48
then you in front of that fountain
32:51
>> Can I propose a counter?
32:53
>> Absolutely you can, yes.
32:54
>> That could have been done this year.
32:57
I would have put it where there's a wall
32:59
with a bunch of construction behind it
33:01
right now in the back of the park. So
33:03
people could go back and they could see
33:06
this amazing structure and it would have
33:09
fit perfectly. People could take
33:10
pictures back there instead of looking
33:12
at a wall with equipment behind it.
33:14
Uh, that's where I would have put it. Um
33:17
>> Okay, Bailey, don't get my hopes up. I
33:19
wish they found Buzzy.
33:20
>> Pandora in DCA timeline, I think that's
33:23
possible. Um, I was talking with a
33:25
couple people earlier tonight and I do
33:26
think it makes sense that Pandora got
33:28
pushed back um, because I think the
33:33
the closure of Monsters Inc. in that
33:35
area and the actual like
33:39
deconstruction of all that, like when
33:41
they start going to work on all that
33:42
area and demoing it, all of that will
33:45
happen at the same time that what's
33:47
happening behind it in the entrance
33:49
plaza will have be happening,
33:51
which means in theory you're combining
33:53
two projects that would impact the
33:55
monorail also
33:57
and that whole area. And so if you just
33:58
hit it all at once, that kind of makes
34:00
sense to me. Good to know.
34:03
>> Um
34:05
Uh, ch- ch- ch- ch-
34:06
answered that one. Disneyland tomorrow.
34:09
Uh, big final announcements the final
34:11
walls are down in Tomorrowland. There we
34:13
go. That would be amazing.
34:15
Um, Billy Joel. That's right.
34:17
>> Okay, thank you. Bette Midler?
34:20
>> Oh, yeah, that's right.
34:22
Yeah, it's been a long time I've seen or
34:23
listened to that. Uh, it's worth
34:25
watching once. Like it it
34:27
>> Is it?
34:29
Here's my question, guys, and I need you
34:31
to answer this honestly, and I need you
34:33
to answer this not in a way that you
34:34
think it's just going to get me to watch
34:35
it.
34:37
Do the dogs feel sadness? Do the dogs
34:39
experience peril?
34:41
>> It's a Disney movie.
34:43
>> Do the dogs experience sadness or peril?
34:49
>> Like the same level of like Lady and the
34:52
or
34:53
>> watch Lady and the you know that.
34:55
>> Okay. So then maybe you can, I don't
34:57
know.
34:58
>> There was literally a day where I came
35:00
home and I said you need to turn this
35:01
off right now. And you were like, "No."
35:03
And I go, "No, seriously." And then I
35:05
started tearing up cuz they were in the
35:06
pound. And I was like, "They're
35:08
experiencing sadness and peril." See,
35:10
the opening makes you cry. No.
35:12
>> I but that's it's a Disney film. Like
35:14
that's
35:16
Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, The
35:18
Lion King his dad
35:22
>> I can handle that.
35:23
It will not ruin
35:25
my like week.
35:26
>> Okay.
35:28
>> Remember that time I saw live-action
35:29
Dumbo and it ruined like my month?
35:31
>> Yeah, it ruined a lot of people's
35:32
months.
35:33
Um
35:40
>> Ayo.
35:40
>> All right. We are running out of time.
35:43
Katie is going to cry in Yeah, see, not
35:45
any worse than Lady and the
35:47
Uh
35:48
but Katie will cry in the first 5
35:49
minutes of the film. And uh what should
35:52
people do, Katie?
35:54
