about

Len Testa & Jim Hill start off this week’s show by discussing the troubled history of “Primeval Whirl.” Jim then looks back on when greenmailers Saul Steinberg & Irwin Jacobs were making runs at Walt Disney Productions and threatening to sell off underperforming divisions of the Company to the highest bidders

Over the course of this episode, listeners will learn about:

How the closure of an amusement park ride manufacturer in France is impacting Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Why the Food Service team at the Walt Disney World Resort is worried that Epcot’s new Space-themed restaurant may have the same sort of operational issues that “Be Our Guest” when that New Fantasyland restaurant first opened at the Magic Kingdom back in December of 2012

The real reason that Walt Disney Productions bought Arvida & the Gibson Greeting Company in the late Spring of 1982

Why – starting on June 24th – the Ops team at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be watching Disneyland Park very closely

Which changes are rumored to be in the works for WDW’s FastPass system
