  • The Evolution of Disney rides and attractions
    Nov 11 2024

    In this episode of Hangin' at the Hangar Bar – A Disney Adults Podcast, Scott and Candice dive into the fascinating world of Disney park attractions and explore how they’ve changed over the years. From beloved classics to innovative reimaginings, they break down what makes these rides so memorable and why updates can spark both excitement and nostalgia.

    • Pirates of the Caribbean: Originally opened in 1967, this iconic ride has seen updates that include the addition of Captain Jack Sparrow and the fan-favorite character Redd. Scott and Candice discuss how these changes shape the ride’s story and whether they maintain its original spirit.

    • Haunted Mansion: Known for its eerie charm and humor, the Haunted Mansion continues to thrill guests. Scott and Candice talk about seasonal overlays like the Nightmare Before Christmas edition, and debate whether these add extra magic or if the classic version should stand alone.

    • Splash Mountain to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure: With Splash Mountain’s re-theming to The Princess and the Frog, Scott and Candice share their excitement for Tiana’s story and discuss the cultural significance of this change.

    • Tower of Terror to Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout! (Disneyland): The eerie Twilight Zone theme was replaced with an upbeat Marvel storyline. Tune in to hear Scott and Candice’s take on how this dramatic shift in tone impacts the thrill of the experience.

    • EPCOT's Transformation: Originally focused on showcasing technology and culture, EPCOT’s Future World has now been split into themed neighborhoods with new attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Remy's Ratatouille Adventure. Scott and Candice discuss whether this shift balances Walt Disney’s educational vision with storytelling magic.

    • Maelstrom to Frozen Ever After: The Norway Pavilion’s original attraction, Maelstrom, gave way to the popular Frozen franchise. The hosts discuss the trade-off between authentic cultural representation and the allure of Disney IP.

    • Test Track: From its early days as a test-drive experience to its high-tech makeover, Scott and Candice debate the pros and cons of Test Track’s modern look and whether it lost some of its original charm.

    • Spaceship Earth: This iconic EPCOT attraction has seen subtle updates over the years. Scott and Candice talk about their love for the journey through human history and what future updates could mean for the ride’s legacy.

    • Carousel of Progress: A symbol of Walt’s vision, Carousel of Progress has been largely untouched but still captures the evolution of technology. The hosts share their thoughts on whether this attraction should stay preserved as-is or could benefit from a fresh look.

    Listener Takeaway: This episode is perfect for Disney enthusiasts who love exploring the past, present, and future of the parks. Join us as we consider what it means for a ride to become a “classic” and how evolving attractions impact our Disney experiences.

  • Entitlement in the Disney Community: Why Does It Have to Be This Way?
    Nov 4 2024

    Hosts: Scott and Candice

    Episode Summary:
    In this episode, Scott and Candice dive into a heated yet essential topic that every Disney fan has encountered—entitlement in the Disney community. Why does it seem like everyone wants Disney to be tailored exactly to their budget and experience? Scott and Candice explore this question, focusing on how entitlement shapes the park experience and the complex expectations many visitors bring with them.

    They also discuss the newest Lightning Lane option exclusive to Deluxe Resort guests and unpack the mixed reactions to this tiered experience. From limited-time perks to fast-pass access, they break down what this means for the Disney community and how the evolving pricing structures are received by different groups.

    Behavior during “group activities”—like waiting in line, parades, and shows—is another area Scott and Candice touch on, reflecting on how guests’ actions impact each other. Why do some parkgoers act out, and how can the community as a whole foster a better experience?

    Key Discussion Points:

    • Entitlement in the Disney Community: The desire for Disney to fit everyone's budget and lifestyle, and whether that's realistic.
    • The Latest in Lightning Lane: The new Lightning Lane option available to Deluxe Resort guests and the broader implications.
    • Park Behavior: Thoughts on guest interactions during shared experiences, including ways to promote respect and enjoyment for all.

    Note to Listeners:
    Please excuse a few minor audio issues throughout the episode. We’re aware and appreciate your understanding as we work to keep improving your listening experience.

    Join Scott and Candice for an honest and thoughtful conversation about these topics and more!

From old to new, each of us brings a unique take to the table. The conversation doesn’t stop at favorites, though—some titles spark a lively debate about whether they’re “Halloween” enough to make the cut!

    In This Episode:

    • Halloween Favorites & Least Favorites: Surprisingly, there were very few titles that at least one of us didn't know and that leads to some interesting conversation about lesser known stuff.
    • Trick or Treat? We dive into some “borderline” Halloween titles and discuss if they really capture the Halloween spirit or just have spooky vibes.
