The Hub Crawl

Before we get started Marie has a drink for us. Bibbidi Bobbidi Bourbon and it sounds delicious. Then we answer the questions from last week. Then on Second Story Stories we dig deep in the the plants of Disneyland with Bill Evans. One More Thing is a trip report and questions for Olivia.

Join Erik and Tage this week as they are joined by James and Sean as they discuss the imagineers, past or present, that they would spend a day with, which movie they would save if all the Disney movies were erased from existence, the spots in the Disneyland Resort that they like to eat or drink at because of the atmosphere, and the Disney characters that they would steal the fit/look/or vibe of. Support the podcast by going to https://www.thehubcrawl.com/support. Question 1: If you could spend a day with any imagineer, past or present, who are you picking and what are you doing? Question 2: I’m going a little Thanos here. If there was someone like Thanos that was going to snap all Disney movies (Not Marvel, Star Wars, Fox properties, but 100% Disney) out of existence, and they were never to have existed in peoples memories, but you could just save ONE movie, what movie would it be? Question 3: Inspired by the recent Fantasyland Draft League, where are a few spots in the Disneyland Resort that you like to go to get a drink, or a snack, because of the atmosphere? Question 4: Which Disney character’s fit/look/vibe would you like to steal/adopt? Bonus Question: Favorite time of year to visit the parks. Very open-ended. Could be weather wise, or for a specific holiday or festival, or just low crowds. Specify the time of year and for what park.

This week there are only 2 of us. Who is missing? Why? Will the other 2 survive? First, Marie has a drink kind-a this week. We make up our own Disney names for our breakfast drinks. We then answer the 4 questions from last week. Then, Rob has a window on an Ear Nose and Throat doctor, Dr. Harold D. Bernard. But why you ask? Finally on One More thing, we answer listener questions.

Join Erik and Tage this week as they are joined by Stephanie and Mike as they discuss what they hope to see in the new Tomorrowland, their favorite Disney leaders, how they would tackle the Six Park Challenge, and how they would bring Disneyland Forward to Walt Disney World if they could. Support the podcast by going to https://www.thehubcrawl.com/support. Question 1: Now that it has been confirmed that Tomorrowland is getting a redo, what are you hoping to see? What could encompass the possibilities of tomorrow that could last, if there is one? Question 2: As I make my way through Bob Chapek’s memoirs, I’ve got Disney executive leadership on my mind. Who’s your favorite Disney leader and why? It can be anybody but Walt, please. No need to stick to CEOs either. Question 3: For my 50th birthday next year, I’m planning to take on the Six Park Challenge: visiting all six U.S. Disney parks in one day, riding a ride and eating a snack in each! That got me thinking: if travel time and logistics were no obstacle, what would YOUR perfect six-park Disney day look like? Pick one ride and one snack from each park—and tell us which park you’d choose to end your birthday celebration in! Question 4: I ask a lot of Disneyland questions, but I’ll ask a Disney World question this time! What “Disneyland Forward” like project would you like to see at WDW? Bonus Questions: What do you do for work — but describe it only in Disney terminology? Think about your daily grind and translate it into park-speak. What would your job title be if you worked for Mickey? Exaggerate it, romanticize it, dumb it down — have fun with it! A few ways to think about it: How would a Cast Member describe your job to a wide-eyed 5-year-old? What’s the Disney equivalent of your role? What would your name tag say?

Marie has a drink from the parks. We answer all 5 questions from last week. Second Story stories is about an accountant. and in one more thing we have a trip recap of going to Disneyland when it is 105 degrees.
